Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 807

Chapter 807

Amelia said, "Ms. Sanders, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first.”

Rory stopped her and asked, "Amelia, do you still blame me? I was immature last time and did you wrong. I owe you an apology. I'll apologize to you now. Can you forgive me?”

Amelia glanced at her and retorted, "The issue between us has been resolved the moment you left the company. I hope that you would stay away from the entertainment industry since this circle is too chaotic. Protect yourself. I'll be off now.”

Rory did not get out of her way but blocked her path instead.

Tears immediately streamed down her face. It reeked of a performance.

"Amelia, I only know how well you treated me after I left the company. After entering the entertainment industry, I finally understood the sincerity you've shown me. I really want to be your friend. Can you forgive me, please?" Rory asked sincerely with reddened eyes.

Amelia smiled.

"Ms. Sanders, I don't think our relationship is that close for this." With that, she stepped past her and exited the restroom.

The smile on Rory’s face faded, and a hint of viciousness flitted across her eyes.

Staring at her reflection in the mirror, she fixed her makeup and whispered, "Amelia, I'm back, and I'll emerge as the entertainment industry's top dog so that I'll be in the same position as you. You're the one who chased me out of the company that day, so I'm going to snatch your position one day, leaving you with nothing."

In the mirror, she gave herself a thorough examination. She had a voluptuous figure and had grown even more gorgeous than before. She looked like a completely different woman.

She had spent a lot of effort on her face so that she could survive in the entertainment industry.

Now that she had risked everything to get here, the only option she had was to succeed. She did not want to return to the impoverished life she was leading, where she had to budget a hundred for a few days. What she desired was a life filled with boundless riches and grandeur.

Rory stayed in the restroom for a while before exiting it. By then, Oscar and the media had already left, so there was only staff who were still present at the press conference.

She left after greeting the team in charge and drove straight to the Larson Group.

The receptionist did not stop her upon seeing her.

She took the elevator. Once she exited the elevator, Jennifer's assistant tried to stop her and told her that she could not enter Jennifer's office yet as there was a guest in there.

Hence, Rory could only wait outside. She asked curiously, "Who's the guest?"

The assistant replied honestly, "It seemed to be the CEO of Scott Group. Previously, Ms. Larson courted him for two years but she stopped for some reason. Then, Mr. Scott started pursuing her. I'm just an insignificant assistant, so I don't understand their romance."

A hint of calculation flitted across Rory's eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.

She waited outside for half an hour before the office's door opened. Carter walked out of the office with a darkened expression.

He ignored Rory and left. Rory, on the other hand, had her gaze fixated on him until he stepped into the elevator.

She then walked into the office, and Jennifer said without raising her head, "Carter, get out. Don't interfere with my business.”

Rory locked the door and replied, "Ms. Larson, did Mr. Scott upset you?"

Jennifer paused with the pen in her hand, raised her

head, and glanced at Rory. She concealed her emotions and asked, "Didn't you have a press conference today? Why are you here?"

Rory walked over and sat down before replying, "It ended, so I came here especially to thank you. I didn't expect to see Mr. Scott coming out of your office. Why? Are you guys still entangled with each other?"

Jennifer rolled her eyes and warned, "You have no right to discuss my matters."

Rory shrugged and said, "Ms. Larson, you're like a parent to me. I owe everything to you. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to survive in Tayhaven. You gave me a helping hand when I was at a desperate point in life. Mr. Scott has always been in love with Amelia but suddenly changed his mind and started chasing after you. You ought to be careful since it may be Amelia's scheme. When a man loves a woman, he's willing to do many unreasonable things. I hope you won't get exploited."

Jennifer's expression turned grim at that.

'Are you done?” she said in a deep voice.

Rory also knew it was time to stop, so she did not continue.

"I’m sorry, Ms. Larson. I was just trying to help you. If you don't want to hear it anymore, I'll zip my mouth shut," she replied.

Jennifer took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.

Carter kept appearing in front of her, and she could not keep her self-proclaimed calmness when he was present. Emotions rumbled and tumbled within her, overwhelming her.

She raised her hand to massage her temples. Upon seeing that, Rory immediately walked over to help her.

Jennifer could not help but stiffen up.

Rory explained softly, "Ms. Larson, relax. We're in the same boat here. I won't hurt you."

Hearing that, Jennifer finally started to relax.
