Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 81

Jennifer slapped his hand away. “Move your hand away and stop it.”

After a slight pause, she continued, “Bring it to me. I’d like to check it.”

The person who came laughed heartily and said, “It’s been ages since we’ve met, and you’ve become so much prettier, Jennifer. However, your temper seems to be becoming worse, huh? Tsk… But it’s fine. I like girls with a hot temper.”

Snorting, Jennifer scoffed, “I bet that I’m not even as important as a few bills to you, right?”

He snapped his fingers and smiled. “Bingo! You know me the best, Jennifer. However, I love both money and beautiful ladies. If you sleep with me for one night, I can give you a little discount. How’s that?”

“Cut the crap and give it to me,” snapped Jennifer unhappily as she frowned.

He did not make any further comments and tossed the envelope on the table. “This is what you want.”

When Jennifer took the item out, her expression changed drastically. Fury was written all over her face.

He asked, “How’s that? These are probably what you want, right?”

Suppressing her anger, Jennifer snarled, “It’s been years since I’ve last met you, but you are still as skillful at secretly filming people as before. I’ll transfer the amount we agreed on to your bank account. Give me the films.”

He passed them to her before smiling. “Jennifer, the only benefit of collaborating with you is how generous you are. I like generous clients like you. If there’s more work that’s as profitable as this, remember to hit me up!”

Jennifer kept the films, stood up, and said, “Stop calling me for no reason anymore. I don’t want to see you at all.”

With that, she left directly.

The person sat on the chair leisurely, an indifferent smile playing on his lips. “Jennifer, you may act all mighty now, but there’ll be one day where you’ll come looking for me. When that day comes, I’ll be yearning for your hot body instead of money.”

Jennifer could not be bothered about what the man sitting in the café was thinking about. Holding the envelope, she sat into her car and tossed it aside angrily. Through gritted teeth, she growled, “Amelia, we’re enemies now. Despite being married to the heir of the Clinton Corporations, you’re still seducing Carter like a greedy temptress. If that’s the case, I’ll not let you get any of them.”

Seething with anger, she slammed the steering wheel and screamed like a trapped beast. She snarled in a deep voice, “Amelia, Carter’s mine, regardless of whether he loves me or not. If you dare to steal him away from me, I’ll make you lose everything that you have.”

After venting her anger, she quickly drove back to the office and stomped to Carter’s office. She took a deep breath and waited for her rationality to return before knocking on the door. Carter called out from within, “Come in.”

Jennifer entered and closed the door behind her.

When Carter raised his head and saw that it was her, an impatient look flashed across his eyes inconspicuously. However, he quickly resumed his normal expression and asked, “What’s the matter, Ms. Larson?”

Jennifer pulled the chair aside and sat down. “Mr. Scott, I’d like to talk to you about something.”

Gesturing for her to speak, he said, “Go ahead, I’m all ears.”

She tossed the envelope on the table and said curtly, “Mr. Scott, take a look at this.”

After taking the envelope, Carter hesitated for a while and did not open it. A slight smirk appeared on Jennifer’s lips as she asked, “Are you scared, Mr. Scott?”

Carter replied, “Before I look at it, shouldn’t I have the right to know what’s inside?”

Crossing her arms over her chest, Jennifer declared authoritatively, “You’ll know when you look at it. I’m sure that you’ll be interested in it.”

Carter eventually opened the envelope. When he saw the photos enclosed inside, his face instantly clouded over. “Did you stalk me?”

Jennifer replied, “I only want to understand the lifestyle of the man I love. I just didn’t expect that person to snap such an exciting scene. Mr. Scott, do you feel a sense of accomplishment when having an affair with a married woman?”

Shooting her a cold glance, he demanded, “Jennifer, do you know that what you’re doing now is very despicable?”

She shook her head and retorted, “To get the man I love, it’s understandable for me to resort to unscrupulous methods sometimes, right?”

Laughing out of fury, Carter uttered, “I think that you’re mad, Jennifer.”

She smiled. “Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Scott. You’re just so exceptional that I can’t help but want you for my own. As long as you promise me that you won’t interact with Amelia anymore, I won’t send these photos to the Clintons.”

Carter crossed his arms over his chest and remarked indifferently, “Jennifer, I think you’re ridiculous. I actually hope that you’ll send these photos to the Clintons. If Oscar misunderstands Amelia, I’ll have a higher chance of winning her over, right? In that case, I’ll have to thank you for that.”

Jennifer burst out laughing. “You won’t, Mr. Scott. You love Amelia so much that you can’t bear to let her leave the Clintons so pathetically. Even if you want her, you won’t do that through underhanded means. That’s because you’re a gentleman.”

Tossing the envelope on the table, Carter replied, “But you also said that one can resort to unscrupulous methods for love. For her, I can do the same.”

Jennifer’s expression changed slightly. “Are you saying that these photos can’t convince you to relent?”

Carter spread his hands apart and remarked nonchalantly, “Whatever. But I must tell you something, Jennifer. You mustn’t be too harsh with your actions sometimes. If you use such despicable methods on Amelia, I’ll destroy you one day and leave you with nothing.”

Jennifer stared at him fixedly. “Are you threatening me, Mr. Scott?”

He nodded.

Crossing her arms, she asked, “Is it worth it to do all these for a woman?”
