Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 772

Chapter 772 Meeting Amelia

The next day, Stephanie dragged Isabella to the Clinton residence, only to be informed by the housekeeper that Olivia and Owen were away to travel abroad.

Feeling furious, Stephanie called Olivia without hesitation. Soon, Olivia answered the call. “Steph, I’m visiting a friend in Machia with your father. Look for Oscar if you need anything. Besides, you shouldn’t walk around too much now that you’re pregnant. Okay?”

Before Stephanie could question her, Olivia voiced again, “I’m ending the call now. Your father’s friend is here. By the way, I heard from Oscar that he had just fired Isabella. Could you please comfort her for me? I’ll talk to Oscar when I return from Machia.”

With that said, Olivia hung up on her directly. Stephanie stared at her blackened phone screen, not knowing how to react.

It’s obvious they know that I will come here to question them. I can’t believe that they went to Machia without informing anyone. When they return, it will be too late to discuss Isabella’s dismissal. It’s useless to intercede for Isabella at that time. “What’s wrong, Steph?”

“They went to Machia to visit a friend. I guess my mother knew that we would come to talk about this. She must be avoiding us by going abroad. I’m her daughter, and she considers you as her goddaughter too. But she still chooses to side with Oscar for dismissing you. I bet my parents refuse to be involved in this matter. Ugh! I’m so pissed right now!” Stephanie complained in rage.

Upon hearing that, Isabella lowered her eyes, concealing the grimness in them.

Aunt Olivia, since you refuse to help me, then you can’t blame me for plotting against your daughter. I bet you won’t be able to enjoy your time in Machia if you know that your daughter is causing trouble in the Walker family.

Oblivious to what Isabella was planning inwardly, Stephanie was still simmering with anger.

“Don’t be angry, Steph. It’s obvious that Oscar lashed out at me on purpose. I think it will be difficult for Aunt Olivia to side with any party. No matter which side she chooses, one of us will be unsatisfied with the outcome. Hence, I understand why she chose to travel abroad to avoid this conflict. I would do the same too.” Isabella pretended to be sensible.

Stephanie uttered, “You might be able to accept that, but I can’t! I still feel triggered recalling Amelia’s smug face. Let’s go! We should look for her and reason with her. I want her whole company to know how intolerant she is!”

Hearing that, Isabella hurriedly stopped her. If she causes a stir, Oscar will be infuriated for sure!

“Calm down, Steph. We can look for Amelia, but we have to do it secretly. Otherwise, we’ll end up in deep trouble if Oscar finds out,” suggested Isabella.

Stephanie mulled over it for a while before agreeing with her.

In the car, Stephanie called Amelia.

As the call got connected, she asked, “Where are you, Amelia? I need to talk to you. Are you free now?”

Amelia had a fight with Oscar and was not in a good mood. As such, she gave Stephanie an attitude.

She rejected her without hesitation by saying, “I’m sorry, but I’m working now. If you really want to talk to me, you can come over to my place tonight. I’ll even serve you some snacks.”

Stephanie’s expression darkened at that. “What do you mean by that, Amelia? Are you disregarding your sister-in-law now that I’m married?”

Remaining patient, Amelia explained, “I’m really working now. Let’s talk when I get home later. I’ll be hanging up now. My colleagues are watching me.”

After saying that, she ended the call immediately.

Why is everyone hanging up on me these days? With that thought in mind, Stephanie could not help but feel sulky.

“How dare that vixen ends my call like that?” Stephanie was so furious that she was on the verge of having a miscarriage.

At the side, Isabella tried to provoke her intentionally, “You’re now one of the Walkers, and you no longer live with her. Hence, there is no point for her to continue pleasing you.”

Stephanie’s temper definitely became worse being pampered by Noah. She folded her arm and said furiously, “The more she doesn’t want to meet with us, the more I want to pester her. I would like to see how arrogant she can be.”

Using Stephanie to go against Amelia, Isabella felt overjoyed. Although she was unable to cause any harm to Amelia, Isabella was still pleased that she could at least make life difficult for the woman.
