Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 771

Chapter 771 Using Stephanie

Soon, Oscar instructed the HR department to fire Isabella. The manager of the HR department brought two guards to escort Isabella out. “Ms. Walker, you’re no longer an employee of the company. Please hand in your work ID card before you leave.”

There were mixed emotions on Isabella’s face. She clenched her fists tightly, her cheeks burning. She had never been so humiliated as she was that day. It was obvious that Oscar was trying to abash her in front of the whole company so that she would resign from the company willingly.

Naturally, she wouldn’t do as he wished. She had entered the company to get closer to Oscar, and she had been doing everything with the goal of becoming his woman. Since her goal had not been achieved yet, there was no way she would accept her bleak fate and leave the company willingly.

“Mr. Floyd, I haven’t done anything wrong nor did I harm the company in any way. As such, I strongly object to Mr. Clinton’s decision of dismissing me like this. I won’t accept it. Even if you want me to leave, I will need to go up and question his decision myself first. I will always be Mrs. Clinton’s goddaughter whether I’m working in the company or not. So I hope you’re wise enough to not stop me.” Isabella narrowed her eyes, her attitude was even more arrogant than that of the manager.

The manager of the HR department, Carlton Floyd, was a smart man. As such, he dared not offend Isabella, considering the latter was still Olivia’s goddaughter. He had to take into account their relationship before making his move. Otherwise, if Isabella said something in front of Olivia, he reckoned he would lose his job as the manager of the HR department.

“Ms. Walker, I won’t object if you want to talk to Mr. Clinton, but can you please give me your work ID card first? I believe you will be more welcome by Mr. Clinton if you visit him in your private capacity,” Carlton said.

Isabella rolled her eyes at him angrily before shoving him away and heading upstairs.

“What are you still waiting for? Didn’t you hear what Mr. Clinton ordered? Escort any unauthorized personnel out of the company right now.” Carlton shouted at the guards who were standing by the side.

Upon receiving the instruction, the guards rushed over and stopped Isabella.

Isabella’s face became even more sullen. She flushed under the intense gazes of other employees. Back when I was still the director, Carlton always sucked up to me. Yet, he dared to send others to stop me now. This guy is getting so full of himself!

“Mr. Floyd, what do you think you are doing?” Isabella said through gritted teeth.

Carlton smiled apologetically. “Ms. Walker, I’m sorry if I’ve upset you. I was ordered by Mr. Clinton to collect the work ID card from you. You are the goddaughter of Mrs. Clinton, so you’d still be able to come to the company in the future whenever you like, right?”

Isabella knew that if she didn’t give the work ID card to Carlton that day, she wouldn’t have the chance to see Oscar. After weighing the pros and cons, she tossed the ID card angrily to the ground.

“There you go.” Isabella said angrily, “You’re such a lackey, so eager to please your master.”

Carlton was unfazed by her insult. He bent over and picked up the work ID card before saying to the guards, “You guys can escort Ms. Walker out now. It’d be bad if we disturbed the other employees at work.”

“Carlton Floyd, what exactly do you think you’re doing?” Isabella glared at him and dodged away from the two guards. Seeing how they were approaching her unrelentingly, she got angry and gave them a slap each. She growled, “Don’t you dare touch me, or I will sue you for harassment. Even if I don’t work here, you petty guards can’t afford to mess with a big shot like me.”

The two guards stopped and looked at Carlton hesitantly.

Carlton couldn’t help but feel a little helpless. If it were someone else who got fired, he would simply get the security guards to throw that person out no matter how vicious the tantrums that person was throwing. However, the person who was throwing a fit right at this moment was Isabella. Seeing how close the relationship between the Walker family and the Clinton family was, Carlton knew he had to act carefully as he was now treading on thin ice.

“Ms. Walker, Mr. Clinton has dismissed you from your post. I’m sure he has his own reasons for removing you from the company. If you disagree with his decision, I suggest you wait for him to calm down first before coming back to the company afterward. Instead of making a fuss in the company now, I think it will be better if you ask him yourself then. Don’t you think so?” Carlton tried to make his tone as gentle as possible.

He didn’t want to annoy Isabella. Otherwise, she would throw endless tantrums in the company, and he was sure that by then, he would be dismissed from his post as the manager too.

Isabella immediately calmed down when she heard that.

She turned around, went back to her office, packed up some of her things, and left. The two guards followed behind her all the way when she cursed angrily, “Are you guys mutts? Stop following me, and buzz off!”

The two guards stopped in their tracks.

Feeling dejected, Isabella left the company. She returned home full of anger and frustration. When she saw Stephanie lying on the couch with her bulging belly, eating fruit and watching dramas, the fire burning within her blazed stronger.

There I was being humiliated by Oscar in the company, while Stephanie is making use of her status to enjoy her life in my house. This is simply unbearable!

Well, isn’t Oscar trying to make a big deal out of this? I guess it’s time for me to cut loose and wreak some havoc then. She decided she would send both the Walker family and the Clinton family into chaos. With Stephanie, the troublemaker here, she reckoned Oscar would not have the energy to take care of the matter about the photos.
