Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 132
Chapter 132 A Meeting
Oscar held Amelia’s waist as they left the staircase. As they exited, they ran into an oing
Elizabeth.
When she noticed their intimate posture, Elizabeth did a double-take before taking a few breaths and
walking up to them.
“Oscar, didn’t you tell Cassie that you had something on at work? I didn’t expect to see you here having
such a public disy of affection in the hospital,” said Elizabeth sarcastically.
Oscar kept on a straight face as he replied, “Mrs. Yard, Amelia’s here for a checkup. As her husband, I
can’t leave her alone. I told Cassie that I had work because I didn’t want her to overthink anything.
Cassie has you to care for her and when I’m done here I actually have to get back to thepany
anyway. I’m really busy with work. I think you should understand that, right?”
Elizabeth nodded. “If you’re busy with work, I understand and support you. If a man only knows how to
flirt with women all day, I’ll really look down on him.”
She paused, then changed the topic. “But Oscar, since you’ve rekindled your rtionship with Cassie, I
want you to treat her sincerely. I don’t want you lying to both parties. Right now she’s only known as a
mistress. You used to be a couple and even grew up together. You shouldn’t lie to her no matter what.”
Oscar’s expression darkened.
Amelia nced at Oscar then replied, “Mrs. Yard, Oscar and I are legally married. Is there anything
wrong with my husband apanying me to my checkup? They were indeed a couple in the past, but
don’t forget that it was Cassie who gave him up first. I’m his wife now. You’re criticizing him as if he’s
some heartless traitor, but I’m sure Oscar doesn’t actually have to take responsibility for Ms. Yard. To
put it bluntly, we don’t even know who’s the father of Ms. Yard’s child, right?”
Elizabeth’s expression changed, although she was now less agitated.
“Ms. Winters, both you and your friend are indeed from poor backgrounds. You both speak so
ignorantly, making me wonder if you’re even educated. Are you suggesting that Cassie cheated on
Oscar by saying that her child is not his?”
Amelia was taken aback. She really did not properly think through whatever she had just said.
Oscar gently squeezed her waist before Amelia snapped out of it andposed herself.
Amelia said, “I didn’t mean it that way, Mrs. Yard. But if you think that your daughter has been having
an affair with another man, then I’ve nothing else to say.”
Elizabethughed coldly.
Oscar tightened his hold on Amelia’s waist. “Mrs. Yard, our baby is getting hungry. I’ll take Amelia to get
some food first. Please take care of Cassie. I’lle back to the hospital tonight.”
Elizabeth stopped him in his tracks. “Oscar, tell me the truth. Are you going to marry Cassie?”
Oscar furrowed his brows.
Amelia replied, “Mrs. Yard, even if you did watch Oscar grow up, do you really think it’s appropriate to
say such a thing in front of his wife? If Ms. Yard is willing to be a mistress, I’ll just bear with it. But
you’re really taking it a bit too far by urging him to divorce me.”
However, Elizabeth only kept her eyes on Oscar. “Oscar, I’m waiting for your answer.”
“Mrs. Yard, my wife is about to give birth. I can’t divorce her for both legal and moral reasons.”
Simply put, Oscar was not going to divorce Amelia anytime soon. Cassie could only bear with it for the
time being. On top of that, nothing was certain in the future.
His answer was very ambiguous.
Elizabeth became increasingly upset.
“Oscar, Cassie aborted the child because of you. But it looks like you won’t lose anything since you
have both a wife and a child soon. Is Cassie just one of your little ythings?” asked Elizabeth with a
sneer.
Oscar frowned.
“Mrs. Yard, Oscar’s not an ungrateful person. He’s always been trying to find a bnce in this love
triangle. Ms. Yard gave up previously then decided to interfere in our rtionship again, so she
inevitably became a mistress. I’m the one who has been hurt the most all this time. When ites to
giving criticisms, I think I should be the one to do it.”
Although Amelia had spoken calmly and had kept on a straight face, you could hear the seriousness in
her words.
Elizabeth was stunned. Indeed, her daughter was the one in the wrong. Not considering when she jilted
Oscar four or five years ago, she was still a mistress this time, imposing on their marriage.

“Ms. Yard has always presented herself as the victim, but I’m the person who actually has been hurt
the most in the whole fiesta. I have no idea why you think you can simply criticize Oscar like that and
order me to get a divorce. I just want the best for my child and me. Am I doing anything wrong?”
Amelia’s words were starting to be aggressive.
The facial expressions on Mrs. Yard had changed by now.
Oscar hugged Amelia possessively and said, “I’ll take Amelia to get some food first. I’ll be back at
night.”
Although Elizabeth still looked unhappy, she still nodded.
As she watched them leave, Elizabeth glowered. She gritted her teeth and retrieved her phone to make
a call. When the call connected, she said, “Mr. Hisson, have you decided whether or not to terminate
the contract with Tiffany?”
After the person on the other end replied, she continued, “She’s just a best-selling author. Your
company is big. I’m sure there are many more authors like her under your management. As long as
you agree to terminate the contract, Yard Group will invest in your project. All you have to do is to lose
an author and win the support of Yard Group. You’re a smart man. I’m sure you don’t need me to tell
you if it’s worth it.”
After the other party responded, Elizabeth became upset. “Are you looking down on Yard Group?
Although we’re not the best, we’re not weak either. I hope you’ll consider this carefully. Don’t lose out
just because of an insignificant author.”
Another responseter, Elizabeth remained unhappy. “You seem to be asking for a lot, don’t you think?”
Another pauseter, she replied, “I’ve always thought you were a smart man. I didn’t expect that you
would give up on your own interests just for an author. Are you sure yourpany’s not actually a
charitable organization?”
The person spoke again before Elizabeth said, “I advise you not to be so impulsive. If you offend the
Yards, yourpany won’t go away unscathed. Is it really worth doing this?”
The person on the line spoke for a long time. Then, Elizabeth’s expression brightened up. She smiled
and replied, “You’re a smart man indeed. As long as you give up on Tiffany, providing you with
investment is not an issue. Although there’ll be less profit if we invest in publishing, ourpany has
been testing the waters in this market for the past two years. So in response to what you just said, I
agree on behalf of mypany.”
The other party replied before Elizabeth spoke again. “I believe we’ve struck a deal on this. I hope you
will give me a satisfactory answer. After all, only a fool would be willing to offend the Yard family over a
small author.”
After she hung up, Elizabeth smirked. “Tiffany, weren’t you good at picking fights? Since you humiliated
me yesterday, I won’t let you live peacefully. There’s more to the Yard family than just a name.”
At the same time, Tiffany, who had rushed through the night to finish her manuscript, was sleeping
soundly in bed. Her phone rang loudly, sounding as if it wereing after her life, forcing Tiffany to
drag herself out of bed.
She felt around for her phone, and without looking at the screen, she answered the call. Her voice was
small and sounded like a baby. “I don’t care who you are, you’d better have something urgent to tell
me. If not, I won’t let you die a peaceful death since you’ve interrupted my sleep!”
Although she sounded like a child, her words carried no hint of innocence at all.
“Oh my god, why are you still asleep at this time? Hurry up ande over to thepany. The boss
says he wants to terminate your contract,” replied her editor anxiously. Tiffany was the best-selling
author who she managed. Without Tiffany, her editor could be out of work. Moreover, they had been
working together quite well all these years. Although Tiffany sometimes submitted her manuscriptste,
she was still a verypetent authorpared to the others and was considered highly productive.
Tiffany suddenly became alert. Her hands shook, not in fear, but anger and confusion.
Tiffany had been working with her currentpany for two to three years. She started off being
criticized for every little thing. Slowly, she gained more recognition for her writing and her books started
to sell quite well. She eventually managed to get her books on the best-selling novels list. Basically, her
company and editor were the ones who watched her grow from a small novelist to the best-selling
author that she currently was. However, they wanted to terminate her contract out of a sudden. This
was a big blow to her.
“Why? Give me a reason.” Tiffany thought of a thousand things to say but only managed to get that one
sentence out.
Her editor was restless. “Stop asking questions. Just hurry and wash up thene over to the
company. I’ve no time to exin so much to you now.”
When the call ended, Tiffany felt very uneasy but still washed up as quickly as she could, changed into
some clean clothes, then headed out the door.
After almost an hour, she arrived at thepany.
Her editor had been waiting for her at the entrance.
“You’re finally here. Hurry, let’s go up. Don’t be too agitated when you see Mr. Hissonter. You
know he’d always been taking good care of you. Just talk things out properly and try your best to keep
your contract with thepany. You’re a best-selling author, so it’s a huge loss to thepany if they
stop working with you. There should be some misunderstanding here,” her editor rattled on and on.
Tiffany replied with a straight face, “I want to know what’s going on too. I’ve always been working well
with thepany so I want to hear an exnation from Mr. Hisson. Otherwise, it’s not simply about
terminating a contract anymore. Although I don’t have any riches or connections, I got to where I am
today all because of my hard work. I won’t allow thepany to treat me like a toy, forcing me to
terminate the contract for no reason.”
Her editor was getting increasingly concerned. “You’d better keep calm when you meet him and hold
your temper. If you really get into an argument then it would be hard to mend the rtionship.”
Tiffany took in a deep breath and replied, “Shannon, I know that. I’ll control my temper. But if the
company insists on terminating the contract, I don’t know if I can continue to keep it in. After all, no one
likes being someone else’s toy and having to ept whatever that was thrown at them.”
The editor kept silent after that.
The pair then took the elevator up. Outside the office, the editor knocked on the door. A pleasant male
voice came from inside the room.
The editor nced at Tiffany and whispered, “Remember to speak calmly and don’t get too agitated,
okay?”
Tiffany took a breath andposed herself. When she was ready, she gave her editor an OK gesture.
