Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 772 Meeting Amelia

The next day, Stephanie dragged Isabella to the Clinton residence, only to be informed by the housekeeper that

Olivia and Owen were away to travel abroad.

Feeling furious, Stephanie called Olivia without hesitation. Soon, Olivia answered the call. “Steph, I’m visiting a

friend in Machia with your father. Look for Oscar if you need anything. Besides, you shouldn’t walk around too much

now that you’re pregnant. Okay?”

Before Stephanie could question her, Olivia voiced again, “I’m ending the call now. Your father’s friend is here. By

the way, I heard from Oscar that he had just fired Isabella. Could you please comfort her for me? I’ll talk to Oscar

when I return from Machia.”

With that said, Olivia hung up on her directly. Stephanie stared at her blackened phone screen, not knowing how to

react.

It’s obvious they know that I will come here to question them. I can’t believe that they went to Machia without

informing anyone. When they return, it will be too late to discuss Isabella’s dismissal. It’s useless to intercede for

Isabella at that time. “What’s wrong, Steph?”

“They went to Machia to visit a friend. I guess my mother knew that we would come to talk about this. She must be

avoiding us by going abroad. I’m her daughter, and she considers you as her goddaughter too. But she still chooses

to side with Oscar for dismissing you. I bet my parents refuse to be involved in this matter. Ugh! I’m so pissed right

now!” Stephanie complained in rage.

Upon hearing that, Isabella lowered her eyes, concealing the grimness in them.

Aunt Olivia, since you refuse to help me, then you can’t blame me for plotting against your daughter. I bet you

won’t be able to enjoy your time in Machia if you know that your daughter is causing trouble in the Walker family.

Oblivious to what Isabella was planning inwardly, Stephanie was still simmering with anger.

“Don’t be angry, Steph. It’s obvious that Oscar lashed out at me on purpose. I think it will be difficult for Aunt Olivia

to side with any party. No matter which side she chooses, one of us will be unsatisfied with the outcome. Hence, I

understand why she chose to travel abroad to avoid this conflict. I would do the same too.” Isabella pretended to be

sensible.

Stephanie uttered, “You might be able to accept that, but I can’t! I still feel triggered recalling Amelia’s smug face.

Let’s go! We should look for her and reason with her. I want her whole company to know how intolerant she is!”

Hearing that, Isabella hurriedly stopped her. If she causes a stir, Oscar will be infuriated for sure!

“Calm down, Steph. We can look for Amelia, but we have to do it secretly. Otherwise, we’ll end up in deep trouble if

Oscar finds out,” suggested Isabella.

Stephanie mulled over it for a while before agreeing with her.

In the car, Stephanie called Amelia.

As the call got connected, she asked, “Where are you, Amelia? I need to talk to you. Are you free now?”

Amelia had a fight with Oscar and was not in a good mood. As such, she gave Stephanie an attitude.

She rejected her without hesitation by saying, “I’m sorry, but I’m working now. If you really want to talk to me, you

can come over to my place tonight. I’ll even serve you some snacks.”

Stephanie’s expression darkened at that. “What do you mean by that, Amelia? Are you disregarding your sister-in-

law now that I’m married?”

Remaining patient, Amelia explained, “I’m really working now. Let’s talk when I get home later. I’ll be hanging up

now. My colleagues are watching me.”

After saying that, she ended the call immediately.

Why is everyone hanging up on me these days? With that thought in mind, Stephanie could not help but feel sulky.

“How dare that vixen ends my call like that?” Stephanie was so furious that she was on the verge of having a

miscarriage.

At the side, Isabella tried to provoke her intentionally, “You’re now one of the Walkers, and you no longer live with

her. Hence, there is no point for her to continue pleasing you.”

Stephanie’s temper definitely became worse being pampered by Noah. She folded her arm and said furiously, “The

more she doesn’t want to meet with us, the more I want to pester her. I would like to see how arrogant she can

be.”

Using Stephanie to go against Amelia, Isabella felt overjoyed. Although she was unable to cause any harm to

Amelia, Isabella was still pleased that she could at least make life difficult for the woman.

Soon, both of them drove to Amelia’s office and arrived at her company’s entrance.

Stephanie called Amelia again, but Amelia did not answer her call. She then drafted a text and sent it to her.

The text read: Amelia, I have no choice but to go to your office if you refuse to see me. I’ll tell everyone that you

intentionally seduced my husband while I’m pregnant. Even if this is not true, you’ll probably still be affected by the

rumor.”

After she sent the message, they waited about five minutes before Amelia appeared at the entrance.

Stephanie unfastened her seatbelt and raised her voice, “Here.”

Hearing that, Amelia walked over with Jolin following closely behind her.

Stephanie glanced at Jolin and mocked, “You brought a loyal dog along! It seems like Oscar is treating you well. He

even got you a mutt to follow you everywhere.”

At that, Amelia’s brows furrowed, but Jolin remained unfazed.

“I just want to talk to you for a while. Is it necessary for you to bring your dog here?” Stephanie crossed her arms in

front of her chest and voiced arrogantly.

With a frown on her face, Amelia said, “You’re married, Stephanie. Did you not learn to be respectful toward

others? I don’t think there’s anything to talk about with a rude person like you. Calling another person a dog shows

just how ill-mannered you are.”

Rage surged within Stephanie, but she managed to tamp her wrath down.

“I heard that you were mad at Oscar because of you saw the photo of him and Isabella kissing. To assure you,

Oscar even dismissed Isabella for you. Don’t you think you’re being a little too dramatic? It’s natural for men to play

outside occasionally. If Isabella is Oscar’s wife, I bet she won’t interfere in such a matter. She is not as petty as you,

after all.” Stephanie tried to add salt to her wound by saying that.

As expected, Amelia had a change of expression.

Meanwhile, Jolin’s expression remained as cold as ever as she stated, “Mind your words, Ms. Stephanie. Boss only

has Mrs. Clinton in his heart. As for Ms. Walker, I’m sure she’s well aware of what she did. From what I can see,

she’s just another shameless wench.”

“Shut up! You’re just a lowly bodyguard! Who are you to interrupt when your boss is talking?” Stephanie retorted.

Jolin gave her a look and replied calmly, “Ms. Stephanie, you are not my boss. I don’t work for you. My responsibility

is to protect Mrs. Clinton and ensure her safety. Other than her, I don’t take instructions from anyone else.”

“You!” Stephanie was exasperated. I better not mess with her. After all, Oscar trained Jolin himself. Although she’s

known as Amelia’s bodyguard, I’m well aware that she’s in fact a killer. people like her could fight hundreds of

people alone. Not only that, she’s probably capable enough to go against four armed policemen by herself. Her

fighting skills must be terrifyingly powerful.

Amelia frowned and asked, “Didn’t you say you have something to tell me? I still have to go back to work. If you

have nothing to say, I’ll be leaving now.”

“Let’s talk in the car.”

“There’s no need for that. Just say whatever you have to say here.”

Hearing that, Stephanie threatened her, “You’d better get in the car obediently before I start shouting that you’re

bullying a pregnant lady.”

Amelia gave her a meaningful look before getting into the car. Jolin wanted to follow her, but she was stopped by

Stephanie.

Jolin warned, “Ms. Stephanie, it’s best for you to move over if you prioritize the safety of your baby. I’m not as easy

as Mrs. Clinton. My boss instructed me to obey her words only. Therefore, I don’t have to respect you. In other

words, your personal safety is none of my concern.”

Stephanie was outraged at that, but she could not do anything.

Eventually, Jolin managed to get in the car. She shifted her attention to Isabella in the driver’s seat. The next

second, she let out a snort but said nothing.

Meanwhile, looking at Isabella, Amelia only felt disgusted.

“So, what do you guys want to talk about?” Amelia asked plainly.

“I saw the photo of Oscar and Isabella kissing. It’s obvious that they have feelings toward each other. If he has no

feelings for her, he wouldn’t have kissed her so passionately. Isabella is an open-minded woman, and she only

wishes to stay by Oscar’s side. I think that you shouldn’t be so petty by chasing her away.” As she spoke, Stephanie

turned around to look at Amelia in the back seat.

At the peak of fury, Amelia snickered. “You’re married now, Stephanie. Moreover, you’re having a baby. Shouldn’t

you be paying more attention to your husband instead of meddling in your brother’s marriage? It’s none of your

business anyway.”

“How is my brother’s affairs none of my business? What a petty woman you are! Isabella was supposed to be his

wife, but you interfered with their relationship. Now that Oscar kissed her and they have feelings for each other,

you threw a fit shamelessly. I’ve never seen such an ungraceful woman like you. So what if you manage to marry

into our family? A nobody like you will always be a nobody!”

In response, Amelia remained indifferent as she listened to her words.
