Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 854

Chapter 854 Twisting The Facts

After taking care of Amelia and Tony, Olivia gave Isabella a call.

“Isabella, what will it take for you to leave Oscar?” she asked straightforwardly the moment Isabella answered the phone.

“My love for Oscar is true, Aunt Olivia. Don't worry; I promise I'll love him even more than Amelia ever could!” Isabella said submissively.

“Nonsense! Do you really think I'd approve of you dating my son after what you've done to him? Leave him right now, and I'll pretend this never happened!” Olivia yelled angrily.

After a brief moment of silence, Isabella said coldly, “I'll be honest with you, Aunt Olivia. There's no turning back after everything I've done. I won't ask you to understand my actions, but I hope you'll stay out of this. Otherwise, I'll make Oscar hate you forever. As you know, I have cast a spell on him, so I'm the only one who can remove it. You can take him to all the doctors in the world, but it wouldn't do him any good. Unless you want your precious son to hate you, I suggest you leave us alone.”

“Are you threatening me?” Olivia asked with a sneer.

“It is what you make of it,” Isabella replied nonchalantly.

Olivia hung up the phone with a terrifyingly gloomy look on her face.

“What's wrong, Dearest? Why are you so angry?” Owen asked with a smile as he came in through the door with his assistant.

Olivia broke down in tears the moment she saw her pillar of support. “Owen, how are you able to smile when someone has cast a spell on your son? He doesn't even recognize Amelia anymore!”

The expression on Owen's face grew solemn the moment he heard that. He quickly sat her down on the couch and said, “Calm down and tell me what happened.”

Olivia proceeded to tell him everything.

“What? Isabella has gone way too far! Let's go talk to Matthew and the others about this. If they can't stop her, then we'll take matters into our own hands. Oscar may be in charge of Clinton Corporations at the moment, but I'm still the chairman. A mere girl like Isabella doesn't stand a chance against me!” Owen exclaimed angrily.

“Owen, I'm worried about Oscar. What if he doesn't recover from this? I don't want him to just lose his memories like this! Honestly, I wish I could strangle Isabella to death! I shouldn't have treated her so well before!” Olivia said with a worried expression.

“Don't overthink it, Dearest. There's no problem money can't solve. I'm sure there's a doctor out there who's able to treat Oscar!” Owen reassured her.

Although extremely worried, Olivia could only nod helplessly in response.

Later that night, Owen invited Oscar, Isabella, Matthew, and Carol over for a talk.

“Mom, Dad, Isabella has told me everything. I know I'm still married to Amelia, but Isabella is the one I love. Hence, I'm going to divorce Amelia and marry Isabella instead. I won't let Isabella suffer ever again,” Oscar said the moment he sat down on the couch.

Owen simply shot him a glance without saying anything.

Matthew and Carol, on the other hand, were incredibly anxious and fidgeted in their seats.

Oscar may be determined to marry Isabella, but Owen is the head of the Clinton family, so he's the one calling the shots here. Our family will be in for a bad time if we anger him! Why did Isabella have to go as far as casting a spell on Oscar? Is she trying to get us all in trouble?

“Isabella! Come here!” Matthew yelled anxiously.

Isabella gripped Oscar's hand tightly and flashed him a worried look.

Oscar squeezed her and motioned for her to stay calm.

“Please calm down, Mr. Walker. I love Isabella, and I promise to treat her right. I may not remember why I married Amelia back then, but I will put an end to this mistake as soon as possible. I will divorce Amelia and marry Isabella,” Oscar said solemnly.

Matthew shook his head. “Don't do anything rash, Oscar. I'm glad that you love Isabella, but she really isn't suitable for you.”

Oscar frowned in response.

He was about to say something when Olivia clapped her hands to draw everyone's attention.

“Oscar, if you still insist on marrying that woman after watching this video, then I will not object to your decision any further,” she said while playing a video on her phone.

Isabella went pale the moment she saw herself having a great time in the video. She lunged forward and tried to snatch the phone out of Olivia's hand, but Olivia was quicker and pulled her hand out of the way.

Isabella then turned to look at Oscar and yelled, “This isn't what it looks like, Oscar! I can explain!”

Oscar's expression grew cold as he walked up to Olivia and held his hand out. “Can I have a look at that video, Mom?”

Olivia handed the phone over to him, and the look in his eyes grew terrifyingly dark when he saw Isabella's obscene acts.

“Would you care to explain yourself, Isabella?” she asked.

Isabella bit down on her lip and burst out crying on the spot.

The gaze Oscar leveled on her was icy. Despite that, he wasn't particularly angry.

“If you want to know the truth, then go ask your bodyguard, Oscar. Kurt abducted me and gave me some kind of drug so he could record that video! I felt so horrible that I thought about committing suicide, but I didn't want you to get upset over my death. If you think I'm unclean, then I'll leave you alone and jump to my death!” Isabella exclaimed with tears flowing down her cheeks.

Oscar's eyes went wide the instant he heard that. “Kurt did this?”

“Feel free to question him if you don't believe me!” Isabella replied.

Oscar then gave Kurt a call and told him to come over immediately.

“Hello, Boss!” Kurt greeted him casually when he arrived about ten minutes later.

Oscar held the phone in his face and said, “Kurt, I want you to tell me what this video is all about. Do not lie to me.”

Kurt glanced at the video being played and replied honestly, “I was the one who recorded it.”

Those words had barely left his mouth when Oscar sent him flying backward with a kick to the stomach.

Before Kurt even realized what was going on, Oscar stepped forward and stomped hard on his chest. “Didn't I tell you to protect her with your life?”

Kurt looked away and coughed up a mouthful of blood before shifting his gaze back to Oscar. “I only received orders to protect Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Anthony! Isabella is a horrible piece of trash! Don't let her fool you, Boss! Mrs. Clinton is the one you love!”

Oscar pressed down even harder on Kurt's chest, causing the latter's face to turn red from the immense pain.

“That's enough, Oscar!” Owen yelled.

Oscar shot Owen a glance and lifted his foot from Kurt's chest.

As Kurt struggled to get back on his feet, Oscar turned around and sent him flying with another kick to the side. Kurt coughed up yet another mouthful of blood as he crashed into a bunch of furniture in the corner.

This time, he was so badly hurt that he couldn't even get up on his own.

“Godpa!” Tony cried out from upstairs, drawing everyone's attention to him in an instant.

Tony then ran down the stairs and attacked Oscar with punches and kicks while screaming angrily, “You big meanie! I hate you! I don't know you anymore!”

Oscar simply stood there and watched as Tony continued hitting him.

Amelia shot him a conflicted gaze as she came down the stairs moments later. She then walked up to Kurt and helped him back to his feet.

“Are you okay?” she asked worriedly while wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.

Kurt coughed a few times and shook his head as he attempted to steady himself. “I'm fine, Amelia. Don't worry about me.”

“You're badly injured, Kurt. Come on, I'll have Hugo send you to the hospital,” Amelia said.

Fearing they would hurt Amelia, Kurt insisted stubbornly, “That won't be necessary. I'm really fine, Amelia. I'll stay here and keep you safe.”

Oscar frowned in displeasure when he saw how intimate they were with each other.

“See? I was telling the truth, Oscar! That bodyguard of yours is the one Ms. Winters truly loves! She tricked you into having sex with her and then later got pregnant with Tony. That's why you agreed to marry her, but her goal has always been to get closer to Kurt. You were mad at being cheated on and went to a banquet, which is where you met me. The two of them fled to Beshya after that. It wasn't until two years later that you found them and brought them back. You can ask Aunt Olivia if you don't believe me. I have no reason to lie to you at all,” Isabella added in an attempt to fuel his jealousy, twisting almost every aspect of the story.

Oscar clenched his fists tightly as he felt the pain in his chest. Although he had lost the memories of him and Amelia, the mere thought of her loving another man made him extremely uncomfortable. It got so bad that he even felt the urge to kill Kurt on the spot.

I don't know why I'm getting so worked up, but seeing Amelia get intimate with other men drives me insane with jealousy. This is not a good sign...

“Mom, did she really spend two years in Beshya with Kurt?” he asked.

“It's not what you think. You and Amelia went through a lot before finally getting back together, Oscar. She's the one you truly love. Don't let Isabella's words drive a wedge between you two,” Olivia replied after giving it some thought.

“I asked you a question, Mom. Was it true that she went to Beshya with Kurt?” Oscar pressed.

“Yes, it's true,” Amelia answered his question before Olivia could say anything.

Oscar glared at her and muttered through clenched teeth, “So, you really are cheating on me as Isabella said!”

Amelia's lips curled into a wry smile as she took a few steps back.

Oscar then shifted his gaze toward Kurt as he continued, “I trusted you so much, Kurt. How dare you sleep with my wife? I'll kill you!”

Amelia stepped in front of Kurt and said, “Believe it or not, Kurt and I have nothing going on between us!”

Oscar took a deep breath to calm himself down before asking, “Is Tony really my son, or is he the product of you cheating on me?”

After hearing Isabella's words and seeing for himself Amelia wipe the blood off Kurt's mouth, Oscar was starting to believe her twisted story.

I can't believe I married a f*cking cheater! Why am I so unlucky? I may not remember anything about marrying her, but I most certainly feel like I've been toyed with! As a man, this is something I will not put up with!

Amelia felt like her heart had been stabbed by a knife when she heard that. “Oscar, could you say that again?”

“Is Tony really my son, or is he your bastard with Kurt?” Oscar asked coldly.

Amelia let out a bitter chuckle. “Did you just call your son a bastard child?”

Olivia got up from the couch and scooped Tony up as she yelled, “What the heck are you saying, Oscar? Tony is your son! Amelia nearly died giving birth to him after a horrifying car accident! You two went through a lot before finally reuniting with each other! How could you say such hurtful things to her? Are you trying to drive her away again?”

“Stay out of this, Mom. I came here to divorce her today. I will not tolerate my wife cheating on me while the woman I love remains a mistress. I must've lost my mind back then!” Oscar said coldly with his fists clenched.

“You didn't before, but you sure have now!” Olivia shouted angrily.

Her hand was clutching her chest as it throbbed from her fury.

Owen quickly reached out to hold her steady as he chastised Oscar, “Stop it, Oscar! Tony is our grandson! That is an undeniable fact!”

Pursing his lips, Oscar felt his anger subside a little when he looked at Tony's face and saw some resemblance between them.

“All right, I'll acknowledge that Tony is my son. However, I am still going to get divorced today. There's no way I'm staying with a cheating woman. I've brought my lawyer with me. He'll negotiate the terms for the division of property with her,” he said stubbornly.
