Too Much To Bear My Love

Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 904

Chapter 904 Finding Out The Truth

The moment Amelia stepped out of the hospital, she received a call from Benjamin. She stared at the phone screen in a daze. If it wasn’t for this call, I might have forgotten the existence of the Hutton family. I haven’t been in contact with them for a year or two. It feels kind of strange to talk to them.

Snapping out of the trance, she eventually answered the phone. “Hello.” Hearing Benjamin’s reply from the other end of the line, Amelia hesitated and nodded.

After hanging up the phone, she got into the car and asked Jolin to drop her off at a nearby café. When they arrived at the destination, Amelia unbuckled her seatbelt and said, “I’m going to meet with the Hutton family. Wait for me outside.”

Jolin immediately became wary and grabbed Amelia’s hand. “Mrs. Clinton, I’ll go with you.” Seeing the grim expression on Jolin’s face, Amelia knew that the former would feel upset if she wasn’t allowed to go inside, so she agreed to it. Nevertheless, she told Jolin to sit in a hidden spot to avoid awkwardness in case the Hutton family discovered her.

After entering the café, Amelia Winters immediately saw Benjamin and Amelia Hutton. The latter had become more feminine over the years. Compared to her previous innocent appearance, she looked foxier and more attractive with her wavy hair.

For some reason, Amelia Winters felt the way Amelia Hutton had dressed up looked familiar. Standing up from the chair, Benjamin called out, “Lia, over here.”

Amelia Winters walked toward them before sitting down. “Mr. Hutton, Ms. Hutton, it’s been a while. It looks like you have been doing well,” she greeted them politely. Amelia Hutton merely responded with a smile.

On the other hand, Benjamin looked at Amelia Winters with an unreadable expression, a hint of indescribable yearning flashing in his eyes.

“Amy, we’re all family. Even though we haven’t been in contact for more than a year, it doesn’t change the fact that we’re related by blood. You don’t have to be so courteous. Mom isn’t here anymore, but the two of us are still your dad and sister, right?” Amelia Hutton pushed the cup of coffee in front of her to Amelia Winters and added, “Amy, this is the coffee I ordered for you. Try it. The coffee here is quite good.”

Amelia Winters glanced at the coffee with no intention of touching the cup. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Take a sip, Amy. Are you turning down the drink I ordered for you?” asked Amelia Hutton.

Instead of drinking the coffee, Amelia Winters eyed her warily.

Realizing that she was being too eager, Amelia Hutton primped her hair and smiled charmingly. “Amy, I didn’t mean anything by that. I simply want to mend our relationship. Also, I’m here to give you an invitation to my wedding. I’m engaged to the eldest son of the Jefferson family from Saspiuburg. We’re getting married in three months.”

A hint of surprise flashed across Amelia Winters’ eyes.

“Amy, don’t tell me you thought I’m still pining for Oscar, do you?” Amelia Hutton asked with a smile and continued, “Yes, I used to harbor feelings for him. But there’s always a limit when it comes to crushes. I met my true love a year ago. Now, I want you to attend my wedding as my sister.”

Amelia Winters smiled at her explanation. “Congratulations, I will be there.”

“Thank you, Amy. Since there’s no wine here, let’s have a toast to my wedding with a cup of coffee instead.” With that, Amelia Hutton raised her cup.

Amelia Winters hesitated before picking up the cup and clinking it with her sister. After taking a sip, she sat down and wiped her mouth with a clean napkin. She discreetly wiped off all traces of the drink.

I can’t afford to let my guard down. I don’t know whether Amelia is telling the truth or not. So, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

It was unclear whether Amelia Hutton saw Amelia Winters’ movement as the former merely smiled in response.

Then, she took out a wedding invitation from her bag and pushed it in front of Amelia Winters.

Still wearing a smile, Amelia Hutton uttered, “Amy, this is my wedding invitation. Remember to come to Saspiuburg with Oscar for the ceremony.”

Picking up the invitation, Amelia Winters saw the picture of Amelia Hutton leaning intimately against a handsome-looking man. Upon closer inspection, the man seemed to resemble Oscar.

“You two look like a perfect match for each other,” remarked Amelia Winters.

At her comment, Amelia Hutton beamed like a happy bride-to-be.

The two sisters chatted for nearly half an hour before Amelia Hutton said that she and Benjamin were planning to meet with other friends. Therefore, they had to cut their conversation short.

Standing up, Amelia Winters took a glance at Benjamin, who remained silent throughout the conversation. After contemplating for a while, she could not help but remind him, “Mr. Hutton, please take care of yourself lest your children worry about you.”

Benjamin glanced at Amelia Winters as if he wanted to see through her. However, he probably realized by then that no matter how much Amelia resembled that woman, they could not be the same

person. Besides, a year and a half had passed. Even if he missed her dearly, his feelings were bound to die down a little. He eventually nodded calmly at her reminder.

After leaving the café, Amelia Hutton and Benjamin waved Amelia Winters goodbye before getting into their car.

While driving, Amelia spoke up. “Dad, you can rest assured now that she’s doing well. That crazy rumor about her divorce from Oscar might have been fake news. Although Amy looks a lot like Mom, she is not her. You should give up on trying to get her back. It’s pointless, anyway. Besides, I’ll have a baby soon after getting married. You can just focus on being a granddad.”

Benjamin leaned against the car seat with his eyes shut. He eventually nodded after a while.

Only then did Amelia heave a sigh of relief.

Amelia Hutton had changed a lot in the past year and a half. Meeting the man of her life was the major turning point. For him, she had stopped being a materialistic person. She also worked hard to learn how to be a good wife. Hence, her temperament changed drastically. Maybe due to her future husband’s preference for beautiful women, she began to dress more maturely and look sexy. As a result, her appearance looked even more similar to Amelia Winters.

That day, Amelia Hutton deliberately asked Amelia Winters out to tell her that she had found the man she could spend the rest of her life with. Therefore, the two of them could be sisters without any hard feelings. Furthermore, she indirectly wanted to be on good terms with a prestigious family like the Clintons. Firstly, she intended to provide her future husband’s family with more resources. Secondly, she wanted to make it clear to the Jefferson family that not only did she have the support of the Hutton family but also the Clintons so that they would think twice before bullying her.

It was a win-win situation for Amelia Hutton to make that trip.

Meanwhile, Amelia Winters frowned while standing in front of the café.

“Jolin, help me find out if Amelia Hutton is truly getting married or not. And send someone to keep an eye on the two of them. Just let them be if they leave without causing any trouble. If they try to pull any tricks, you can deal with them as you see fit,” instructed Amelia Winters.

I’m not being paranoid. It’s just that I can’t afford to let my guard down after suffering so much in the past. Otherwise, if my so-called family betrays me in the future, I will have no place to cry.

Jolin nodded in response.

After sending Amelia Winters home, Jolin sent someone to follow the father and daughter from the Hutton family. Then, she used her contacts in Saspiuburg to find out about their lives over the past eighteen months. Indeed, Amelia Hutton was engaged to the eldest son of the Jefferson family and would get married in a few months. As for Benjamin, he had been visiting Eleanor’s grave for the past year and a half. Other than that, he stayed at home and isolated himself from the rest of the world. He did not seem to pose any threat at all.

Afterward, Jolin informed Amelia about the findings of her investigation.

Amelia mulled over it and felt relieved that none of them seemed suspicious.

Amelia Hutton is about to get married soon. That means I have one less enemy to deal with. It’s better to have one more friend than an enemy. Since she extended the olive branch, I should accept her kindness.

Jolin went out to answer a call. Soon, she came back and said that the Hutton family’s father-daughter duo had arrived at the airport and would depart in half an hour.

Nodding, Amelia instructed, “Ask your people to watch get on the plane before coming back.”

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Clinton. Xavier also booked the same flight as them. He will personally send them to Saspiuburg before coming back,” Jolin said reassuringly.

Amelia was amused by Jolin’s words. Nevertheless, she felt touched by their dedication to their duties. I gave them the orders casually. But I didn’t expect Jolin and the others to understand me so well and take care of everything I was concerned about.

“Jolin, when Xavier is back, please ask him out on my behalf. Let him know that I’m treating him to a meal. He should be rewarded for being such a responsible bodyguard. I’m going to speak to Oscar and ask him to raise his salary,” Amelia said.

“Mrs. Clinton, he will be so delighted to hear that. He has been telling me non-stop about how amazing you are, and that Boss always listens to you.” Jolin could not resist but tell Amelia.

The latter was amused by Xavier’s impression of her.

At that moment, her phone rang.

It was a call from Amelia Hutton.

“Hi Amelia,” Amelia Winters answered the call.

“Amy, I specially called to inform you that Dad and I have boarded the plane and it will take off in half an hour. I’ll call you when we arrive in Saspiuburg, so please don’t worry about us. Most importantly, you must come to my wedding. I want to let everyone know that I have a sister who’s so pretty and that I have the honor to bear resemblance to her.” Amelia Hutton was in a cheerful mood.

Amelia Winters smiled gently. “All right, I wish you and Mr. Hutton a safe flight and call me when you arrive. I’ll definitely be there at your wedding.”

After ending the call, Amelia Winters went to settle other matters.

Meanwhile, after a few days, news about the company that June founded suffering huge losses broke out. That same afternoon, a company spokesman responded that it was a rumor and that they would take legal action against the rumormonger. However, it was heard that the company spokesman was summoned to the police station the next day to assist with an investigation regarding suspected tax evasion. That was not the end of the company’s woes. The police also found large amounts of controlled drugs in the company, which were hidden in the general manager’s lounge. All fingers pointed to June, as the lounge had been locked during his absence and he was the last person seen in the room. Hence, the police were looking for him but to no avail. They had to seek assistance from their counterparts in other countries and co-issued an arrest warrant for June. It seemed like nobody from the Adertons would be able to settle this issue this time.

Meanwhile, June, who was in hiding, saw the news reports about his company. A resentful glint flashed across his eyes.

“You really don’t intend to explain to the police?” Jennifer asked.

June turned his head and glanced at her.

“June, don’t tell me you don’t know that you’re currently wanted by the police?” Jennifer crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at him indignantly.

“Of course, I do, but how do you want me to explain to them? If I’m caught, there’s a high possibility that I will be imprisoned for life or sentenced to death. I thought nobody can enter that office without my permission.” June was visibly infuriated by the series of unfortunate events.

June had fallen into the trap set up by Oscar this time. He could not fathom how the stuff which he took great pains to hide in the lounge could be discovered.

“June, I can now ascertain that you’re a boar and a very stupid one in fact. I feel so insulted to be working with you,” Jennifer mercilessly ranted.

June threw her a deadly stare.

“Jennifer, don’t forget that we’re now on the same boat. You better watch your words.” June gritted his teeth.

Jennifer knew that was the truth and she could not rebut it. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

“What do you plan to do then?” Jennifer asked.

“Well, Oscar cares about his loved ones, so let’s kidnap them.” There was a spiteful look in June’s eyes. “Since he’s leaving me no way out, I shall also make him lose everything except his power. We shall see who’s more pitiful then.”

Jennifer narrowed her eyes and looked at him doubtfully. “You’ve been saying for the longest time that you’re going to capture Tony and Amelia. But they’re still out there, alive and kicking.”

“Don’t worry, I have it all planned out. I’m going all out to fight against him. I can’t take it lying down if he doesn’t get a taste of his own medicine. Even if I get caught eventually, I want to make sure someone pays the price.”

Jennifer remained silent and did not respond.

That evening, June drove Jennifer to a farmstay and parked the car under a tree.

Jennifer looked out of the car window, feeling slightly puzzled.

“What are we doing here?” Jennifer questioned.

“Today, that Old Mrs. Clinton will be bringing the two kids here for dinner. Both Oscar and Amelia are busy with work and will not be coming, so this is the best opportunity for us. I’ve already planted

someone inside this farmstay to drug their food. I can’t wait to see the expression on Oscar’s face when I take the three of them down one by one in front of his eyes,” June hissed as he drummed his fingers rhythmically on the dashboard.

Jennifer turned her head to look at him, appearing a bit hesitant. “One of the kids seemed to be Noah’s son right? He’s innocent so we shouldn’t lay our hands on him.”

“Jennifer, sometimes benevolence will turn against you. That child is adopted by Oscar, which means he’s his son now. As long he’s part of the Clintons, I will not let him off easily. I will do anything to make Oscar suffer.” June was behaving like a maniac.

He had suffered too much under Oscar’s hands. Thus, he spent a huge effort setting up this ambush just to deal Oscar the most devastating blow of his life.

Jennifer kept quiet. She was feeling a bit apprehensive about this operation.

“Jennifer, let me remind you. Now is not the time to feel sorry. Success is within our grasp and you will be able to seek vengeance for your mother soon.” June was not pleased with Jennifer having second thoughts.

“Don’t worry. I’m still committed.”

“It’d better be this way.”

After waiting for almost half an hour, they did not see anyone from the Clinton family. Jennifer looked doubtfully at June. “June, are you sure you got the correct information?”

“Be patient, they’ll be here.”

Speaking of the devil, a car soon arrived at the entrance of the farmstay. Oscar, Amelia, and their two children were here.

June let out an evil smirk. “Here they are.”

Jennifer peered through the car window with a calm expression in her eyes.

To Jennifer, Amelia and Oscar were her true enemies but she did not want to drag any innocent parties down. But it was apparent that June did not think the same way, and she could not do anything about it.

Just as they were getting ready to act, a group of armed police officers suddenly surrounded their car. The officers pointed their guns toward the vehicle and ordered June and Jennifer to alight immediately.

Jennifer turned toward June, her eyes filled with panic.

“June, what’s going on here? Didn’t you have this planned out?” Jennifer was panicking with fear.

June was equally stunned as well. His well-curated plan certainly did not include a group of armed officers demanding them to get out of the car.

But he did not have the luxury to think. The number of guns outside his car was realistic enough to make him follow their instructions.

June raised his hands the moment he got out of the car.

“June, you are under arrest for committing multiple offenses. You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defense if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.” One of the officers handcuffed June.

June did not resist but he was still hoping for his bodyguards to save him. When nobody appeared while he was being pushed against the police car, he knew that he had fallen for Oscar’s trap once again.

June’s face twisted with anger. He could not accept the fact that he lost to Oscar again after all that he had done.

After the police left, Jennifer did not leave and stared at the ground.

Just as she was feeling relieved that she was not taken away by the police, a pair of heels appeared in front of her. She raised her head and saw Amelia.

“Ms. Larson, are you available? I will like to have a word with you,” Amelia said.

Jennifer did not want to speak to her at all. However, now that June was arrested, she had effectively lost her ally. She was now an easy target for Oscar to deal with. Thus, she was resigned to fate if Amelia’s intention was to insult her. After all, she had no support to fight against them anymore.

“Ms. Larson, if you wish to know the truth, please follow me. If you choose to be blinded forever, that’s fine with me too.” Amelia turned around and walked away after expressing her intentions.

A skeptical glint flashed across Jennifer’s eyes as she watched Amelia leave. After a few seconds of hesitation, she decided to follow her.

Jennifer followed Amelia into a private dining room at the farmstay. Soon as she entered, she saw someone kneeling on the floor, his body visibly shaking. Jennifer looked at the person’s back and found it familiar. As the person turned around, Jennifer realized that he used to be the chef who worked for her family.

What is he doing here?
