Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 773

Chapter 773 Disgust Her

Stephanie became disinterested when she noticed Amelia ignoring her. She felt like she had been talking to a brick wall. At that moment, Isabella piped up, “Amelia, I love Oscar. The other day, we kissed because we couldn’t hold back our feelings.

However, he admitted to me that you’re still the woman he loves the most. Even though I can only come in second, I’m still happy. I’m more than content to receive his close attention. I don’t want much. All I want is to stay by his side.”

In an instant, Amelia’s expression darkened. Her hand on her thigh twitched a little. She felt sullen as if there was a stone pressing down on her heart. “Are you done?”

“No, I’m not done. Oscar captured my heart the moment I saw him after returning to the country. It took me almost three years before I could get close to him, get him to kiss me, and get him to say that he would make me his woman. Unexpectedly, you found out about us.

He asked me to leave the company first because he was worried that you would get mad, but I could only get close to him in the company. Can you please forgive him this time? I don’t want to see him feeling so upset because of you.” Isabella made an attempt to guilt-trip Amelia.

Amelia felt even more uncomfortable when she heard that. The photo of Oscar and Isabella kissing kept flashing into her mind. She tried to forget it, but Stephanie and Isabella kept bringing up her scars to make her feel miserable.

“Jolin, let’s get off the car,” said Amelia. Jolin nodded and wanted to open the door, but Isabella locked it. “Open the door,” Jolin ordered. Isabella remained motionless.

The next moment, Jolin pulled out a gun and pressed it against Isabella’s head. “Open the door!” Isabella slowly turned her head around and nearly passed out when she saw the gun pointing right between her eyes.

It was the first time she had ever seen a gun in her life. She had not expected to see something she had only seen on TV in real life one day, and it was pressed against her forehead. “Put the gun down.”

“Open the door.” Jolin did not want to waste any more time. Isabella tried to act tough at first, but Stephanie became terrified and spluttered, “I-Isabella, hurry up and open the door. Are you trying to kill us both?”

Since she did not want to cause any trouble, Isabella quickly unlocked the door. After getting off the car, Amelia made her way into the company without saying a word.

As they entered the elevator, Jolin gave her a worried look and said, “Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Clinton isn’t someone like that. They’re obviously lying. You shouldn’t take anything they say to heart.”

Hearing that, Amelia shook her head and remained silent, looking a little worn out.

Just as Jolin was about to say something else, Amelia piped up, “Don’t tell Oscar that the two of them came looking for me today. Jolin, you said it yourself that you were hired to protect me, so I’m your only boss. You’re not supposed to report anything to Oscar unless it’s absolutely necessary. And yet, you told him about the photo without my permission. Although I kept quiet about it, I don’t want it to happen again. Do you understand?”

Instantaneously, Jolin’s expression turned solemn. “Mrs. Clinton, I just didn’t want you to overthink things.”

“I’m an adult. I can handle my marriage problems myself. I don’t want to depend on Oscar for everything,” Amelia said with a whiff of exhaustion in her voice. “Jolin, your sole responsibility is to keep me safe. I can handle the rest.”

Jolin wanted to say something, but in the end, all she could do was nod.

Amelia started to work on the blueprints when she returned to the design department, but her mood remained down in the dumps.

Seeing Amelia like that, Jolin was actually a little concerned. However, she reasoned that Amelia had recently gone through too many bad things and might need some time alone, so she chose to be considerate and leave the latter alone.

Meanwhile, Stephanie and Isabella were still downstairs and had not left. They were still paralyzed by the terror of having a gun pointed at them.

Patting her chest, Stephanie asked, “Isabella, was that a real gun just now?”
