Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 549
Chapter 549 Not As Good As Expected
Olivia stood on the podium and spoke into the microphone. “Everyone, quiet down now. Owen and I
would like to introduce someone to all of you.”
The whispers and murmurs from the crowd stopped suddenly and lifted their heads to look toward
Olivia and Oscar.
Olivia picked up Tony, who was obediently standing next to her, and announced to the crowd. “I think
everyone would know who this cute child is, right? Yes, he’s my precious grandson, Anthony Clinton.
Two years ago, all of you attended his baby shower. After that, my son and daughter-inw separated
due to some misunderstanding. However, now that it is resolved, my daughter-inw is back with my
beloved grandson. I’m overjoyed, so I’ve put together this special dinner to introduce my grandson to
everyone officially.”
The people of the upper-ss circle looked at each other before quickly returning to normal.
Everyone showered Olivia with praises, and a big smile appeared.
“Everyone, thank you foring today. Oscar and I are delighted to see all of you here. Please eat and
drink to your hearts’ content. Whoever goes home happy today is doing us a favor,” Olivia said with a
smile.
The crowd could not help but apud.
“All right, everyone, go ahead and enjoy yourselves.” As soon as Olivia instructed them, the crowd
dispersed to chat among themselves.
Several wealthy women who had a good rtionship with Olivia gathered around her and started to
compliment Tony. Olivia could not stop smiling. “Hey, all of you should stop praising him. He’ll be over
the moon.”
“Tony has such good looks. We can see that he’s a sensible child. Olivia, you’re so lucky! Your son is
doing well, and with just one look, we know that your grandson is clever and obedient. He really
inherited all the good from your family,” one of the women said ambiguously.
After hearing what she said, Olivia could not help butpliment Tony, “He’s not as good as what all of
you have been saying. But I agree that Tony’s a sensible child. If I have a headache and fever, he’ll
immediatelye to me and gently blow on my temples. He’d even kiss me on my cheek to make me
feel better. He’s good at coaxing me, and even Oscar can’t do it as well as he does.”
“Just look at you. One minute you’re saying he’s not that good, and the next, you’re showering him with
praises. The corners of your mouth are curled so much that it’ll soon be touching the sky,” one of the
ladies responded.
As soon as she said that, everyone burst intoughter.
After exchanging pleasantries with each other, the wealthy women left.

When Carol and Isabe saw that the women had left, they walked toward Olivia.
“Olivia! When you invited Isabe to dinner yesterday, you said that you’ll give her an exnation in
front of everyone. But you just… Everyone in the upper-ss society is still talking about Isabe and
Oscar’s engagement. Are you trying to embarrass my family with what you did just now?” Carol said in
an annoyed tone as she suppressed her anger.
Olivia nced at Isabe and replied, “You have to see what Isabe did to Tony. She said that Tony is
a b*stard child and used him of lying. Who would dare to want a daughter-inw like her? Definitely
not me.”
“Olivia, how could you take the words of a child seriously? You’re well aware of how Isabe has
treated you for the past two years. You’re indeed an influential family in Tayhaven. But my family’s
company abroad is not too shabby either. Since you yed with my daughter’s feelings, I just want to
talk. What do you want?” Carol chuckled in anger as she raised her hand to rub her temples.
Before Olivia could answer, Tony grabbed her neck and whined, “Grandma, I’m scared. She’s so
fierce.”
The joy on Olivia’s face disappeared, and her expression darkened after hearing what Tony said.
“Mrs. Walker, the party is still going on. If there’s anything you want to say, it can wait till it’s over,”
Olivia said coldly.
A look of anger shed across Carol’s eyes. “Olivia, you’d better not go too-”
Before she could finish her sentence, Isabe tugged on Carol’s shirt and said, “Mom, let’s go there
and eat something first. Mrs. Clinton still needs to entertain her guests.”
Carol looked at her and took a deep breath before forcing a smile. “Okay then. Olivia, I’m going to grab
a bite with Isabe. We’ll talk again when the dinner is over.”
With that, Carol brought Isabe out of the house and found a secluded spot. The former took her
anger out by kicking the stone on the ground and retorted, “The Clintons are obviously bullying us! We
are considered an important family in Tayhaven too. It’s horrible and excessive. her to fool us again.”
Isabe raised her hand and gently patted Carol on her back. “Calm down, Mom. There’s nothing for
you to get mad about. We’re asking them for a favor, so it makes sense that we’re being picked on a
little.”
After hearing what she said, Carol rolled her eyes. “Whose side are you on?”
“Mom, I’m your daughter. Of course I’m on your side.”
“I see that you’ve put in all your effort for the Clintons. Well, I hope it won’t be wasted in the end.”
Isabe was rendered speechless, and she fell silent. A hint of gloom shed across her eyes.
Carol felt anger burning in her. She nced at her surroundings. After realizing that no one else was
around, Carol lowered her voice and said, “I don’t think we can keep that child.”
Isabe widened her eyes and stared at Carol in disbelief.
“Why are you looking at me like that? I’m doing it for your own good. I reckon you’ll never have the
chance to marry Oscar with that child around,” Carol huffily replied.
Isabe lowered her gaze and did not utter a word. Her silence suggested that she agreed with Carol’s
idea. “Mom, he’s surrounded by bodyguards. It’s not easy for us to get him.”
“Are you silly? Can’t you win his favor? Tony may dislike you at first, but how scheming can a child get?
No matter how smart he is, he’s just a two-year-old child. Even if he is somewhat quick-witted, he’ll
never understand the tricks of an adult. As long as you get him to like you, he’ll be all over you soon,”
Carol said in a low voice.
Isabe was not as optimistic as Carol.
The mother and daughter eased their excitement of talking when they heard footsteps approaching.
The few wealthy women who went up to them happened to know the Walker family.
For some reason, one of them said, “Mrs. Walker, weren’t you saying that your daughter and the son of
the Clintons are getting engaged soon? Now that his wife and son are back, your family are merely
fillers. What’s happening? This engagement isn’t your wishful thinking, is it?”
Carol tightened her fists then rxed them.
Isabe shed a sweet smile and said, “Mrs. Miller, the day before yesterday, I walked past a mall and
saw Mr. Miller shopping with a young girl in her twenties. They seemed very close. Is that a rtive of
yours?”
After Kerry heard that, a vicious look shed across her carefully made-up face, and she said, “I have
something else to do. Please excuse me.”
When Kerry left, everyone else looked awkward.
As soon as they left, Carol said through gritted teeth, “Who does she thinks she is? Why does she think
she has the right toment about my family’s matters?”
“Mom, they’re nobodies. When I marry Oscar, they’ll need to suck up to us. In thest two years, the
Clintons have gotten stronger, leaving manypanies of the same period behind. We used to be able
topete with them. However, our business has been going downhill in the past two years. With that,
the Clintons have exceeded us by a lot. This is why other people think they’re way out of our league.
Now that Mrs. Clinton gave a p to our faces with what she did, it’s just normal that the others want to
mock us,” Isabe said calmly as she narrowed her eyes.
Carol finally calmed down.
It was true that the Walker Group was going downhill every day. They could only rely on the Clintons to
tide theirpany through this mess.
Carol was well aware that they could not offend the Clintons. Otherwise, it would be the end for the
Walker family.
Isabe thought for a while and could not help but say what was on her mind, “Mom, does it ever cross
your mind that Noah is not fit to be a businessman? Or maybe he does not have the talent to be doing
business? Look at Clinton Corporations. Ever since Oscar took over, their profit has increased every
year. Whereas for Noah, the Walker Group is losing money annually. He can’t even think of something
new. Are you and Dad not worried that he’ll lose thepany?”
Carol raised her hand and pped Isabe hard until thetter’s head snapped to the side.
“Isabe Walker. You’re not married to Oscar yet, and you don’t know anything. Don’t act as if you do.
Noah ispetent. It’s just that thepany had suffered too many losses when your grandpa was
still around. When he passed away a few years ago, your father was not a businessman either. If it
wasn’t for Noah, do you think you could livefortably? Don’t be a heartless person.” With that, Carol
turned and left a dumbfounded Isabe standing alone with a hand on her face.
However, Oscar had heard about what happened between mother and daughter. After all, they were at
the Clinton residence, and there were bodyguards at every corner of the ce.
