Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 809

Chapter 809

Meanwhile, June received a call from an unknown number while he was in his office. The person said, "Mr. Wick, we have injected Mrs. Larson with the hallucinogenic drug. She got bitten on her arms and legs while fighting the dog we sent her way and is currently recovering in a hospital. When will you be paying me the rest of the money?"

A wide grin formed on June's lips as he said, "I'll have someone transfer the money in a bit." "Thank you, Mr. Wick. I hope you will consider hiring me for similar jobs in the future as well. I promise to get them all done perfectly," said the person on the phone before hanging up.

Don't blame me for being so ruthless, Jennifer. I'm only doing this to make sure we're on the same side. You were starting to give up on your desire for revenge when that unappreciative b*stard started courting you, so I had to hurt your mom a little to get you back on track. I'm not about to forgive Oscar after everything he has done to me, and it'll take the two of us working together to defeat him," June mumbled to himself with a sneer.

He then grabbed his coat and headed over to the hospital, only to bump into Carter outside the ward.

"Hello, Mr. Scott. Why are you standing out here all by yourself? Did Jennifer kick you out? She sure is a stubborn one, huh? I told her I was fine with you two having a history together, and yet, she still insists on keeping her distance from you so I wouldn't get upset.

Tsk, tsk...” June said with a faint smile.

Carter clenched his fists and shot June a fierce glare, but he didn't lash out like June had expected him to.

The smile on June's face grew increasingly sarcastic when he saw that.

Wow! You have an impressive amount of self-control, Mr. Scott. I'm impressed! However, Jennifer is in love with me now. It's unfortunate, but you seem to have become a thing of the past."

That was the last straw for Carter.

Unable to hold his anger back any longer, he swung his fist at June as hard as he could. As their scuffle had caused quite a huge commotion, the security guards rushed over to break them up.

Jennifer's eyes lit up with rage when she came out of the ward and saw them both covered in bruises.

"What are you doing here, June?" she asked while trying her best to keep her anger suppressed.

June simply walked up to her and wrapped his arm around her waist. As Jennifer tried to struggle free, June whispered into her ear, "Carter is now under the impression that we're in a questionable relationship. Do you want him to see through our pretense?"

Jennifer stopped struggling after hearing that.

From Carter's perspective, the two of them looked like they were having an intimate conversation with each other.

Naturally, he didn't take too well to that.

Carter was about to say something when the head nurse came over and lectured them, "Need I remind you that this is a hospital? Ms. Larson, please tell your friends to stop their yelling and fighting! They're disturbing the other patients here!"

Jennifer nodded and said apologetically, "I'm terribly sorry about them. They were having a little argument earlier, but I promise it won't happen again!"

The head nurse nodded at her and walked off without saying anything further.

June tightened his grip on Jennifer's waist as he asked, "I heard your mother has gotten injured. How is she doing? Is she going to be okay?"

Jennifer felt really uncomfortable being held in his embrace, but she forced herself to put up with it anyway.

"She's fine. She just fell asleep a while ago, so you'd better not go visit her. I don't want you waking her up."

June then leaned in and gave her a loud smooch on the cheek, making things even more awkward as everyone in the corridor could hear it.

It hurts me like crazy to see them behaving intimately, but I have only myself to blame for this. I used to treat Jennifer with disdain, and now, I can only watch as another man hugs and kisses her...

With that in mind, Carter gazed longingly at Jennifer before walking away.

There was a glint of sadness in Jennifer's eyes when she saw him leave without looking back.

June caught her right as her legs gave out beneath her. "You love him that much, huh? Do you really think he'd accept you after you've slept with me? I doubt he'd be okay with 'used goods.'"

Jennifer shoved him off and glared coldly at him with her arms crossed. "June, you and I are merely working together. You are in no position to interfere with my relationships! I'm in a very bad mood right now, so you'd better get the f*ck out of my sight!" "Jennifer, have you forgotten what we've done? I practically know all of your sensitive spots now. It's a bit too late to draw the line, don't you think?" June said with a devilish grin while eyeing her lasciviously from head to toe.

Jennifer went livid with rage.

Leave me alone!” she shouted through clenched teeth.

Instead of leaving her alone, June took another step forward and grabbed her by the wrist. "You and I are partners now that we're working together, Jennifer. Shouldn't you be a little nicer to your dear partner? For your sake, I suggest you forget about being with Carter. The Scotts will never accept you into their family now that the entire city has seen your naked body. Keep in mind that Carter is the heir of the Scott family. I doubt he'd be willing to give that up for a filthy woman like you."

Jennifer shuddered and lowered her gaze as she said, "Look, I know what I am. You don't have to keep reminding me of it. I'll continue working with you once my mom is all better. Until then, please leave me the f*ck alone!”

June's goal was simply to hurt Jennifer just enough to ensure her compliance. Since he had achieved his objective, he decided to let her go for the time being.

"That's more like it!" he said nonchalantly and walked off with a gleeful grin on his face.

Jennifer took a deep breath to calm herself down before heading back into the ward.

It was almost eleven by the time Vincent returned that night.

"You can go home and get some rest, Jennifer. I'll take over from here."

Jennifer shot him a glance and asked, "Where have you been, Dad? I tried calling you all afternoon, but I couldn't get through.”

Mr. Sullivan and the others were insisting on selling off their shares after the meeting. I tried talking them out of it, but they refused to listen. I thought about buying it all back from them, but the company has lost far too much money lately, so I can't afford to do so," Vincent replied lethargically.

Misfortune never came alone, and that was especially the case for the Larsons lately. Not only did the company suffer huge losses after Jennifer's recent incident, but Vincent's old friends had all turned their backs on him as well.

This was the first time Vincent had experienced such helplessness, and the overwhelming distress had left him feeling suffocated.

Jennifer exploded with anger after hearing what he said. "What? Why would Mr. Sullivan do that? He didn't say anything when my videos were leaked, so why would he suddenly insist on selling his shares?"

Vincent waved at her. "Why he did it isn't important right now. Those guys hold quite a significant amount of our company's shares. We'll lose the company if someone else acquires those shares."

Don't worry, Dad. I'll find a way to buy those shares back. You've spent dozens of years managing this company. I won't let anyone take it from us!" Jennifer

reassured him.

Vincent simply nodded at her in response.

Jennifer then left the hospital in a hurry after leaving Laura in his care.
