Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 859

Chapter 859 Chased Off

Olivia left Tony unwillingly. When she returned home, she saw Oscar sitting on the couch alone, and Isabella was nowhere in sight. Although she was delighted by that, she kept a grim expression.

She walked over and said mockingly, “It seems you still remember you have parents in this household.”

Oscar raised his head and replied helplessly, “Mom, you used to like Isabella. Why do you have something against her now? You're ruining the peace for no reason.”

This angered Olivia, and she scoffed coldly. “You must be under her spell that you can't even make your own judgment. How can you not even doubt her lies?”

A hint of doubt flitted across Oscar's eyes, but he lowered his gaze to hide it. “Mom, Isabella is the woman I love. I know you have something against her, but I believe time reveals a person's integrity. You will eventually grow to like her.”

Olivia's chest was heaving with rage. “Fine! You may continue to be stubborn. Amelia is about to travel abroad soon anyway, so you won't be able to see her after that. You'll be free to continue living with the falsehoods Isabella has told you.”

A strange glint flashed across his eyes as he looked at Olivia and asked, “She's going abroad?” However, he immediately realized his words sounded as if he was close to Amelia and added, “She used to live aboard. There's nothing strange with her going overseas now.”

When Olivia heard that, she felt that Oscar's impression of Amelia was the same as what he had toward Isabella previously, and she suddenly had an idea.

She asked tentatively, “Oscar, can you tell me why you suddenly hate Amelia?”

Furrowing his brows, he replied, “She keeps pestering me and teamed up with Stephanie to bully Isabella. Shouldn't I hate her? Anyway, I still have work, so I'm heading off to the study.”

Olivia instantly grabbed him and said, “Oscar, wait. I have a question.”

Oscar turned around and looked at her indifferently.

“Oscar, tell me honestly. What does Amelia's family do?”

“Mom, what's wrong with you? Didn't they come back a few years ago to do business here? I know you're close with her parents, but you can't keep protecting her and even sacrifice my marriage for that. She and I have already divorced, and she has custody of the child. I don't have anything to do with her anymore. Please stop trying to get us together, Mom. Isabella has already suffered a lot by insisting on staying by my side. I hope you don't keep targeting her, or else I'm going to get angry,” Oscar said in an annoyed tone as he frowned.

Realization dawned on Olivia as she let go of him.

“You can get back to work. I know what to do,” she replied while waving a dismissive hand.

Oscar stared at her briefly before he strode up the stairs.

When he reached the second floor, Olivia shouted, “Oscar, Amelia's flight is at ten in the morning tomorrow. If you still have some regard for her, you should send her off. Otherwise, you won't see her anymore in this lifetime.”

Oscar froze, and some indiscernible emotion flitted across his eyes.

However, it was only for a moment before he entered his study without hesitation.

Olivia watched him disappear from sight and sighed deeply. Problems keep coming one after the other in this household. When is it ever going to end?

Entering Stephanie's room, she saw her daughter playing with her grandchild. The gaze she leveled on Stephanie was a complicated one.

As if Stephanie felt Olivia's unusual scrutiny, she raised her head and looked at the latter in confusion. “Mom, why are you looking at me like that?”

Olivia walked toward the bed and sat down, extending her hand to play with her grandchild. After a while, she finally said, “Stephanie, be honest with me. Did you participate in the things Isabella did to your brother?”

Stephanie tried to act innocent and looked at Olivia, replying, “Mom, what are you saying? Isn't Oscar fine?”

At that, Olivia raised her head and retorted, “You're still trying to pretend with me? Do you know Isabella has told me everything? She used your brother's affection for her to push all the blame on you. She said you're the one who instigated everything, and she was only an accomplice. If she were to persuade your brother into transferring all our family's assets under her name, our family is doomed.”

As expected, Stephanie took the bait. “What nonsense is she uttering? She's the one who planned everything, yet she dared to blame everything on me? She can go ahead and die! How dare she try to steal our family's assets? I'm going to kill her!”

Stephanie finally realized what she was saying and immediately stopped talking. She turned her head slowly to look at Olivia; sure enough, the latter's expression was grim.
