Chapter 543
Amelia took the elevator to the top floor. Isabe trotted behind her and entered the elevator as well.
Linda''s heart fell when she saw the two peopleing out of the elevator.
One was Oscar''s beloved, while the other was his pursuer. Linda dared not to imagine what would
happen when these two women met.
“Mrs. Clinton, why are you here?” Linda asked politely.
“Is Oscar here at work? I want to have lunch with him,” Amelia replied with a smile.
“Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Clinton didn''te to thepany today.” Linda shot Amelia a quizzical look. She
remembered thetter was staying under the same roof with Oscar. She wondered how Amelia did not
know that Oscar did note to thepany today.
Amelia had roughly guessed what Linda was thinking, the former nonchntly brushed it off. “He was
sending Tony to Olivia''s ce. I thought he had reached here. It''s all right then. Can I wait for him in his
office?”
Without further ado, Linda invited Amelia to the office but was stopped by Isabe at the entrance.
Isabe eximed, “Linda, you''re Oscar''s secretary. Your job is to keep any self-invited guests away
when he''s not around. Have you forgotten about this? I don''t mind asking Oscar to fire an ipetent
secretary.”
A gleam of impatience shone in Linda''s eyes. She had had enough of Isabe''s imperiousness in the
Linda gathered up every patience she had within herself and said, “Ms. Walker, Mrs. Clinton is not a
self-invited guest. She''s Mr. Clinton''s wife. I''m sure Mr. Clinton will not say a word even if Mrs. Clinton
requests this office for herself.”
Isabe red at Linda and entered the office. She was now in the same space with Amelia.
Linda felt like her head was throbbing. “Ms. Walker, I believe you still have work to do. Please leave the
office. Don''t make things difficult for me.”
Isabe crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, “I need to report a project to Oscar. I will wait
for him here. You can leave and do your work now.”
Linda was stumped and gave Amelia a sideways nce.
Sensing her dilemma, Amelia chimed in, “Linda, you can leave first. Don''t worry about Ms. Walker and
me here. We''ll be fine.”
“All right, Mrs. Clinton.” Linda pondered for a moment before she asked, “Which coffee would you like,
Mrs. Clinton? Or perhaps you would like some tea?”
“Water is fine.” Amelia smiled.

Isabe ordered, “Give me a cup of coffee without sugar.”
“No problem.” Linda left and closed the door on her way out.
Amelia walked to the window and called Oscar. The call rang for a long time without anyone picking it
up. Just as she was wondering if Oscar was avoiding her, he finally picked up the phone.
“Amelia.”
“Oscar, aren''t youing to work yet?”
“I''m still here with Mom. I need to settle some matters first. I will go to thepany in the evening.
Where are you now? How do you know I''m not in thepany?” Oscar paused for a moment before
he continued, “Are you in Clinton Corporations?”
“You were not around when I woke up this morning. I know you''re upset. I don''t want to leave our
problem hanging until the next day. That''s why Ie to thepany hoping to have a talk with you.
Please give us this chance to solve our disagreement. I don''t want our rtionship to go sour.”
Oscar fell silent on the other end of the line.
“Amelia, I''m not mad with you. I merely want you to stand your ground. I do not object to the
appearance of your pursuers, but your attitude toward them speaks everything to me. If you keep your
distance from all the males, I won''t be bothered at all. Do you know someone has sent me photos of
you and Kurt drinking coffee? You already knew that someone had been targeting you. Yet, you''re still
in contact with them. Don''t you know that you are leaving a bad impression on Mom? Can you please
refrain yourself for my sake?” Oscar sighed wearily.
Amelia''s face gradually turned pale as she listened to him.
“Amelia, please think about what I just said. I''ve told you before. I will never give up on you with the
premise that my woman has only me in her heart.” With that, Oscar hung up the phone.
Amelia stared at the phone that had been disconnected. She suddenly felt heavy at heart.
“What''s the matter? Did you have an argument with Oscar?” She jumped when Isabe''s voice
suddenly boomed behind her.
Amelia kept the phone and said, “Ms. Walker, I will excuse myself first.”
Then, she walked past Isabe before thetter interrupted, “Amelia, do you like the photos?”
Amelia stopped in her track, turned around, and looked at her with mixed emotions. “Did you hire
people to take those photos?”
Isabe sat on the couch. Her lips quirked up into a sneer. “Amelia, I never knew you were this
charming. Not only does Oscar fall for you, but Carter is also hung up on you. Not to mention Kurt, who
has always been loyal to you. I always wonder what good do these men find in you that they all throw
themselves at your feet.”
Amelia stared intently at Isabe as realization dawned on her. “So you''re the one that lunged the car
toward me. Ms. Walker, I''ve made a report to the police and have given them all the details, including
the car te number. The case is now under investigation. I will advise you to be more careful.”
“Amelia, please stop pointing fingers at me. I''m not that idiotic to hire a man to knock you over. I merely
sent snoopers to do some investigations on you. To be frank, I''m quite surprised that they were able to
produce such good photos for me. I''ve sent all of them to the Clinton residence. I don''t think that Mrs.
Clinton will be lenient to the woman who has cuckolded her son,” Isabe eximed smugly.
Instead ofshing out after hearing that, Amelia managed to regain her cool. She chuckled. “Ms.
Walker, I''m still Oscar''s wife even after you have done so many things behind my back. We''re living
happily ever after as a family of three. You better watch out. I''m sure you don''t want all your efforts
going to waste.”
Then, she left the office.
Isabe scoffed and got up from the couch. “Amelia, I will see how long you can put on your act. The
devil cannot hide his cloven hoof.”
Linda immediately greeted Amelia when thetter walked out of the office. “Mrs. Clinton, are you
leaving already?”
“Oscar is deferred by something else. I will go look for him. Please carry on with your work. You don''t
have to worry about me.” Amelia beamed and left.
Amelia left thepany and got into her car. She leaned back against the car seat while looking at the
bustling street outside the car window. Mixed emotions surged through her heart. She thought Oscar
and her had finally built a stable rtionship after they had been through all the ups and downs
together. However, it turned out she had overestimated both the strength of their rtionship and
Oscar''s tolerance toward her pursuers.
No man could remain indifferent toward his woman''s pursuers.
Amelia heaved a sigh. If she were to be more careful, things would not have turned this way.
Her phone rang and snapped her out of her thoughts. Amelia nced at the screen. It was from Jolin.
“Hello?” She answered the call.
“Ms. Amelia, are you feeling all right? Why didn''t youe to work today? Boss just called and asked if
you''re in thepany. I''m a bit worried, so I decided to give you a call. I''ve managed to dig something
up. The car was aiming to kill you. Don''t go anywhere. I''lle to you now.”
Amelia smiled and consoled, “Jolin, don''t worry. I''m currently downstairs at Clinton Corporations. I''m
about to head back to thepany now. I''m fine.”
“Ms. Amelia, please wait over there. We can continue talking once I''m there.” Jolin''s voice sounded
edgy.
Amelia frowned. She guessed that something must have happened to get on Jolin''s nerves.
“All right.” Amelia hung up the phone.
Perhaps Jolin''s words had indeed left an impact on her, but Amelia nced around nervously after she
hung up the phone. There was nothing suspicious. Maybe Jolin has been overthinking. However, I still
have to be careful.
Soon, Jolin arrived at the scene. Amelia got off the car when she saw the former. Just as Amelia
wanted to walk toward Jolin, a car sped toward her. Jolin spotted the roaring vehicle and dashed
toward Amelia at her quickest speed while yelling, “Mrs. Clinton, get out of the way!”
Amelia noticed the car that was speeding toward her as well. At that moment, the memory from the
past traumatic experience came again vividly to her mind. Her mind was shouting to her, telling her to
dodge out of the way, but her legs felt so heavy and remained rooted to the spot.
Her eyes widened in fear, her palms felt mmy from the uncontroble sweating, and even her calves
were trembling, albeit almost unnoticeable to naked eyes.
Jolin mustered up all her strength to run toward Amelia. She hurriedly wrapped her arms around the
latter''s waist and lunged sideways, sessfully dodging the crash from the BMW.
Seeing that the murderous n had failed, the BMW did not proceed with a second attempt. Instead, it
fled the scene at full speed. Jolin said to Amelia, who had just barely missed death by a whisker, “Mrs.
Amelia, wait for me here. I''ll go after the culprit.”
With that, Jolin hopped into Amelia''s car and chased after the person.
Amelia''s mind wentpletely nk. It took her almost a minute to recollect herself.
She drew out a long breath and slowly regained herposure.
If it were an ordinary person who had encountered two life-threatening idents in merely a few days,
the person would have already experienced a mental breakdown. It was rare to have a person like
Amelia be able to calm herself down within a short period of time after experiencing multiple traumatic
experiences.
Amelia raked through her mind but still could not pinpoint anyone who would harbor this much hatred
toward her. Besides, the person had gone all out to try to take her life. Wouldn''t the person be worried
about receiving revenge from her?
Amelia shook her head. She had to wait for Jolin to capture the culprit, and the truth woulde to
light after that.
A menacing gleam shed in Amelia''s eyes. She wanted so much to tear the instigator to pieces. She
did not expect her tolerance would cause the person to advance further and almost drive her to a dead
end.
