Chapter 886


    In the end, Oscar still strode off. Amelia stood in ce for a while. All of a sudden, she dashed forward,


    caught up with him, and blocked his way.


    With a lift of her head, she looked at Oscar stubbornly.


    “Mr. Clinton, I have a favor to ask of you,” she said.


    Oscar lowered his head to look at her, a glimmer of emotion shing across his eyes.


    “Speak,” he replied coolly.


    “Don''t do anything to Kurt. I was the one who made him go abroad. After our divorce a year ago, I was


    worried that people with ill intentions would hurt Tony, so I pleaded with Kurt to join us. Back then, you


    agreed to let him be our bodyguard, so technically, he did not leave his post without permission,”


    Amelia said while looking into his eyes.


    Oscar''s face darkened slightly as a sense of mise filled his heart. It felt as if someone had taken


    away his most prized possession.


    “Amelia Winters, you''re quite a sentimental person, aren''t you? It''s no wonder Isabe imed that you


    had an affair with Kurt before our divorce became official. Sure, I was magnanimous enough to look the


    other way, but please stop pushing your luck. My wrath is not something either of you can bear. He did


    something wrong and should be punished ordingly. This is something everyone in the organization


    is aware of.” Oscar then narrowed his eyes coldly. “I was initially going to stay my hand, but you''re the


    one who reminded me.”


    Amelia''s face paled slightly, and she felt extremely uneasy.


    She then took a deep breath topose herself.


    “When did you develop a sense of humor, Mr. Clinton?” Amelia remarked.


    Oscar shrugged. “People are capable of changing. Aren''t you the same as well? I remember that you


    used to stop at nothing to stay by my side, but now you''ve learned to stand up for another man. Is it


    because you need to find another man to rely on since you no longer have me as your backing? That


    being said, Kurt''s not a bad choice. I molded him into who he is today. He is capable and handsome


    and has earned quite a bit of money throughout the years. You''d be able to lead an easy life by dating


    him. Go on, hold on to him as tightly as you can. Otherwise, once you''re old and wrinkly, you won''t be


    able to capture men''s hearts as easily anymore. You might as well sell yourself off for a good price


    while you''re still young.”


    Amelia went ghastly pale. She clenched her fists, her chest heaving from rage.


    However, she burst outughing shortly after.


    “You are jealous, Mr. Clinton,” stated Amelia calmly.


    A hint of awkwardness shed across Oscar''s face as he suddenly stiffened.


    Whenever he argued with Amelia in the past, she was the one who was always at a disadvantage.


    However, she had turned the tables on him then.


    “That''s pure nonsense.” In a huff, Oscar turned around to leave. With his back as straight as a ramrod,


    he seemed taller and sturdier than usual. However, if one paid close attention to his red ears, one could


    easily tell that Amelia had gotten under his skin.


    Amelia had an on-and-off rtionship with him for almost ten years and thus knew the ins and outs of


    his temper. If not for the fact that she knew him well, she would have left in a fit of embarrassment


    moments ago.


    Looking at Oscar''s retreating figure, Amelie could not resist yelling out one final jab.


    “Esteemed Mr. Clinton! I beseech thee to find it in yourself to pardon Kurt, for my sake. After all, he is


    the one who saved your son and me!”


    Oscar stopped in his tracks, then sped up and left the scene.


    Amelia smirked. Her mood seemed to have improved.


    At a leisurely pace, she left the park. As soon as she did, a car pulled up in front of her.


    The person inside the vehicle rolled down the window and stuck his head out. Amelia smiled at him.


    “Kurt, you''re back.”


    Kurt nodded.


    Amelia opened the door, got into the car, and then turned around to give Kurt the once-over.


    “I''m relieved that you''re okay, Kurt,” she said sincerely.


    The corners of Kurt''s mouth curved upward. It appeared that he was in a decent mood.


    “I swung by the organization, expecting to have severe repercussions headed my way. However, I


    didn''t think that Boss had long dismissed me. I''d apparently been free a year ago,” he said mildly. His


    tone was nonchnt, but the look in his eyes becameplicated.


    Kurt never thought it would be so easy to leave the organization that gave him a lot of warmth and


    stained his hands with blood. When he was actually informed to leave, he had mixed feelings. At the


    same time, he could not figure out what Oscar was thinking about for letting him go so easily.


    Nevertheless, he was quite happy at being able to leave. At the very least, he was on equal footing with


    Oscar and could protect Amelia openly as he saw fit.


    Having heard Kurt''s words, Amelia lowered her gaze as she went deep in thought. Soon, a faint smile


    yed about her lips. It seemed that she had perked up.


    Kurt noticed the subtle change from the corner of his eye, and his mood seemed to be gloomier.


    There was some bitterness in his expression.


    Amelia was right beside him, but her mind kept drifting toward thoughts of Oscar. It made Kurt feel


    jealous. He knew for a fact that she only considered him as nothing but family, and it would stay as thatAll text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    for the rest of their lives.


    “I saw Boss walk out of here just now. Did you both agree to meet here?” asked Kurt, trying to break


    the silence.


    “No, it was a mere coincidence. In fact, I''m not sure why he came here either, but maybe it''s fate. Even


    though he mistook someone for me, I''m guessing the past we shared still resides in his subconscious,”


    Amelia replied. For some reason, he thought her tone of voice sounded like that of a youngdy in


    love.


    Kurt felt a pang of heartache.


    He had done so much for her, but he had yet to see her smile so happily. On the contrary, she was so


    ted when Oscar merely showed up at the same park by chance.


    “Did you watch that video on the inte?” asked Kurt, swallowing whatever bitterness he had.


    Amelia stopped smiling and nodded.


    “Before we returned from overseas, you said you had a surprise for me. Is this what you were referring


    to? I happened to see it on Olivia''s phone and wondered who it was that despised Isabe that much. It


    turned out to be you all along, eh?” she replied as she tilted her head to look at him. “Thank you, Kurt.


    I''ll never forget the kindness you''ve shown me. However, I don''t want you to take risks for me. Oscar is


    powerful enough that if he wants to look into your IP address, he will manage it just fine. I''m no longer


    his spouse, so I fear that I can''t protect you from his wrath.”


    In any case, Isabe was currently the woman by Oscar''s side, his fiancée and soon-to-be wife. A


    matter like that could very well affect his pride or cause potential harm to Clinton Corporations'' stock


    prices. As such, Amelia was disinclined to use such vulgar means to retaliate against Isabe. After all,


    if Isabe''s reputation were to suffer, Oscar''s would not be spared.


    When Amelia came back, all she wanted was for Oscar to be with her again, not to put him in a


    dilemma. The current happening was not an oue that she wished to see.


    Seeing that Amelia did not seem happy as he had imagined, Kurt looked a little morose.


    “Amelia, are you unhappy because I uploaded that video of her online?” he asked tentatively.


    Amelia turned to nce at him. She knew that he was overthinking.


    “I''m not upset. I''m just worried that Oscar wille after you. I''m his ex-wife now, so I can''t offer you


    any protection. I just hope that you can calm down,” she exined.


    Kurt''s expression immediately brightened.


    “I''m delighted that you''re concerned about me, Amelia,” he said with a smile. “Don''t worry. I was very


    secretive about this, so no one can trace this back to me. Even if Boss is suspicious, he has no proof.


    Besides, he hasn''t asked anyone to remove the video from being circted yet. This shows us that he


    doesn''t value Isabe as much as we''ve imagined.”


    Amelia''s eyes twinkled. Her mood seemed to have lifted.


    Then, Kurt pursed his lips and drove silently.


    When they got back to the neighborhood, the duo took the elevator upstairs. As soon as they entered


    the condominium, Tiffany ran over with herptop and shoved it into Amelia''s hands.


    Amelia looked bewildered.


    “Babe, look! Isabe is trending like some big celebrity now. There''s gossip about her everywhere! I''m


    sure you''ll like this!” Tiffany eximed gloatingly as she waggled her brows at Amelia.


    Thetter did not know what to say. A momentter, she brought theptop with her to the couch.


    Having taken a seat, Amelia looked at the screen. Many of thements from theizens were


    harsh, but when she scrolled down, she noticed ament from Oscar''s verified ount.


    In thement, he thanked everyone for gossiping about his fiancée, even ending his sentence with a


    smiley.


    Amelia thought that someone must have hacked into Oscar''s ount to write such ament since


    there was no way he would do something like that.


    s, she was mistaken. At that moment, the man she swore would never do such a thing was using


    his phone to upload a photo his investigators had found. It was a picture of Isabe kissing another


    man—the very same Isabe whom he proimed his love for.


    The woman in red standing next to Oscar was watching him intently. The puzzlement in her eyes grew.


    Even she could not figure out his motive for doing such a thing.


    It stood to reason that Isabe was Oscar''s fiancée. Regardless of whether or not he loved her, the


    right thing to do was to remove the pictures and the video from cirction. To the woman''s surprise,


    Oscar did the opposite, posting ament, digging up more racy photos, and sharing them as though


    he wanted to add fuel to the fire.


    I no longer understand how the world works.


    “Boss, are you not going to remove the photos and the video? If we let this fester, Clinton Corporations''


    stocks will be affected to an extent. After all, Ms. Walker is your fiancée, and you two will get married


    soon,” the woman uttered.


    Oscar raised an eyebrow.


    “Lindsay, do you think a woman like this is fit to be my wife?” he asked mildly. For reasons unknown to


    him, the gorgeous Amelia recalled to him. Logically, he should feel nothing but hatred for her, but he


    could not stop himself from thinking of her.


    “Boss, that was out of line. I should''ve kept my thoughts to myself. These are your personal affairs, so I


    have no right to say anything,” Lindsay said apologetically with her head lowered.


    Oscar merely waved a hand in response. “You may leave. I''ll send for you again when it''s your turn to


    act.”


    Lindsay nodded and left without saying another word.


    A tinge of darkness shed across Oscar''s eyes as he looked at Isabe''s pictures spreading like


    wildfire on the inte. Isabe had been hiding them from him for far too long. On top of all the affairs


    she was having, she had the audacity to im that she loved only him.


    He wondered how he was stupid enough to trust her.


    What he needed to do then was to string Isabe along and figure out how he ended up like that.
