Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 576
Chapter 576 In Vain
Oscar said calmly, “Mr. Hutton, my son is kicking up a fuss for not being able to see his mommy, so I’m
afraid Amelia and I can’t stay at Saspiuburg any longer. I’m sorry about that.” However, he did not look
apologetic at all.
With his hand quivering in anger, Benjamin had never imagined that Oscar would disrespect him this
way.
Benjamin growled, “Mr. Clinton, I would only need your wife for half an hour. Can’t you spare me such a
short time?”
However, Oscar responded with a smile, “Mr. Hutton, I’m sorry, but I’ve booked our air tickets. The
ne is taking off in another two hours, so we can only make it in time if we depart now. Sorry, but we’d
have to make a move now.” With that said, Oscar threw his arm around her shoulder and left.
Benjamin clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles emitted a cracking sound.
Staring at Oscar’s and Amelia’s retreating figures, Benjamin almost exploded in a fury.
Meanwhile, Sean watched them with piqued interest. After they took a turn and disappeared from his
sight, he readily admitted, “Dad, it seems like Mr. Clinton is more domineering and unyielding than what
the rumors portray him to be.”
Benjamin red at him and barked, “Go home.”
His face contorted with anger by the humiliation Oscar inflicted upon him, and a gnawing pain grew in
his chest.
In the car, Sean asked, “Dad, so what’s your n now?”
Benjamin replied frustratingly, “What else can I do? Now that they’re heading back to Tayhaven, even if
the Hutton family is almighty in Saspiuburg, we can’t do anything about it. Tayhaven is the Clintons’
territory, and creating trouble in other’s territories would not do us any good.”
“Dad, are you nning to give up then?”
A cold glimmer shed across Benjamin’s eyes. “I’m not giving up. It’s just that I’ll have to employ other
methods.”
“Dad, I’m actually interested inpeting against this legendary Mr. Clinton. The business circle in
Tayhaven ims that he’s a prodigy. It makes me wonder how amazing he is to be so highly regarded.”
Narrowing his eyes, Sean appeared intrigued.
He believed that if he had coborated with Oscar, he might have a good chance of taking control of
the Hutton family.
Benjamin sneered and huffily replied, “He’s merely an unscrupulous spoiled brat who’s from a
prominent family. The business circle is full of praises for him simply out of respect for the Clintons. I
can’t believe he actually sees himself as a prodigy. What an insolent and ignorant brat!”
Benjamin was seething with anger after getting offended by Oscar.
At the sight of that, the corners of Sean’s lips curled into a smirk.
The more Benjamin despised Oscar, Sean would stand a better chance of getting Oscar to side with
him. As the old saying went, the enemy of an enemy was a friend. He was nning on taking
advantage of the fact that Amelia was his sister.
Previously, he did not know that Amelia was Oscar’s wife. Fearful that she would return to the Hutton
family to fight for her inheritance, Sean was willing to ally himself with Benjamin. However, the situation
had changed. Currently, Amelia had the support of the Clintons, who was one of the most prominent
and affluent families in Tayhaven. Unlike his stubborn father, he was not nning on wasting a golden
opportunity to forge a friendly rtionship with the Clintons.
With a contemting look, Benjamin asked tly, “Sean, what are you thinking about?”
Regaining hisposure, Sean realized that he must have gotten carried away and immediately tried
pulling himself together.
He yed dumb and inquired, “What’s wrong, Dad?”
Benjamin warned, “Sean, don’t even think about it. I can see right through you.”

Sean shed an innocent smile in return. “Dad, I think you’ve misunderstood me. I’m simply trying to
figure out a way to exin to Mom now that Amelia has left.”
“It better be.” Benjamin snorted coldly.
Snapping out of his thoughts, Sean dared not reveal his impetuosity anymore.
When they returned to the Hutton residence, Amelia Hutton came downstairs, and Benjamin asked, “Is
your mom awake?”
Amelia shook her head.
After removing his coat, Benjamin walked past her and headed upstairs. “I’ll go upstairs and have a
look.”
Only then did Amelia Hutton strode toward Sean and ask, “Sean, so how did the discussion go after
meeting with Amelia?”
Taking a seat on the couch, Sean shook his head and furrowed his brows, looking worried.
“Sean, what’s wrong?” Wary of his reaction, Amelia took a seat right next to him.
Sean snapped back to his senses and shook his head. “Everything’s fine.”
Shooting him a suspicious look, Amelia probed, “Sean, you’re hiding something from me. I’m your
sister. Can’t you be honest with me?”
Sean immediately changed the topic. “Is Mom still sleeping? I’ll go upstairs and take a look at her.”
Amelia grabbed his hand, refraining him from leaving.
She insisted, “Sean, I’m your sister. If you’re facing any difficulty, can’t you just be honest about it with
me? I simply want to know how the discussion between the three of you had gone.”
Sean lowered his head and revealed helplessly while staring at Amelia, “She has gone back with
Oscar. Dad and I didn’t even manage to speak much with her. So what do you want me to tell you?”
“She left?” Amelia was in disbelief. Initially, she was nning on paying a visit to Oscar. However, she
did not expect that he would be leaving so soon.
Disappointment crept into Amelia’s heart.
Casting a confused nce at her, Sean remarked, “You seemed concerned about them.”
After some slight hesitation, Amelia blurted, “Sean, if I tell you that I’ve fallen in love with my brother-in-
law, will you help me?”
Sean’s eyes instantly lit up, but they dimmed at the next moment. “Are you nning to snatch your
sister’s husband?”
Raising her head, Amelia dered, “True love disregards one’s appearance, and it overpowers any
nationality andnguage barrier. Oscar is an outstanding person, so it makes sense for me to fall in
love with him.”
Sean lifted his hand and smacked her forehead as he advised, “Oscar is indeed an excellent man, and
there’s nothing wrong with you falling in love with him. As your brother, I definitely hope that you find
your true love and that he’d be an outstanding person. But Oscar is Amelia’s husband. If you interfere
with her marriage, I’m afraid Mom will not let you off easily. So you better think it through.”
Amelia’s expression darkened as she clenched her teeth. “Sean, Mom feels guilty about the way she
had treated that woman, and that’s why she’s so biased toward her. As her children, we should be
trying to guide her to the right path instead of standing by and watching her lose herself further.”
Upon hearing that, Sean turned pensive.
Amelia yed her trump card. “Sean, look at how simr her appearance and mine are. If Oscar takes
a liking to her, that means there’s a chance for him to fall in love with me as well. By then, all you have
to do is side with me. With the help from the Clintons, I believe ourpany can easily infiltrate the
market of Tayhaven.”
“As long as you’re able to make him like you, I’ll side with you. But on one condition, don’t make things
difficult for Mom. It has been a tough life for her.”
“Sure.”
Eleanor came downstairs with Benjamin behind her.
Sean shot up from his seat and hurriedly greeted her, “Mom, you’re finally up.”
Rubbing her head, Eleanor felt as if something had slipped her mind, as she had no memory of how
she had fallen asleep.
Her head throbbed with pain. “Sean, how long have I been sleeping?”
“Mom, you’ve been asleep for almost three hours. You must be really exhausted to have slept so long.”
Subsequently, Eleanor’s eyes widened in response. “I’ve been asleep for that long? That’s not good. I’d
have to make a call to Amelia and tell her that your dad and I are paying a visit. Your dad has finally
agreed to acknowledge her rtion to us, and I can’t possibly let this opportunity slip by.”
Amelia quickly caught Eleanor before she copsed. “Mom, calm down. Amy is around. If she’s sincere
about it, she’ll definitely agree to it, so don’t worry about it, all right? More than twenty years have
passed, so there’s no need to be so anxious about it, right?”
Inhaling deeply, Eleanor nodded.
After changing her clothes, Eleanor urged Benjamin to follow her to the hotel where Amelia and Oscar
were staying at. However, when she knocked on the door, no one answered.
After making a call to the hotel receptionist, Eleanor was informed that Amelia had checked out.
With trembling hands, Eleanor hung up the phone and gave Amelia a call but realized that thetter’s
phone was switched off.
“What’s going on? Why did she suddenly check out? I can’t reach her phone. Did something happen to
her?” Eleanor worked herself into a frenzy as she went on, “No, this can’t be happening. I must call the
police right now. They’re not familiar with Saspiuburg at all. What if they run into some bad guys? Yes,
the police. I must make a police report right away.”
Although Benjamin was displeased, he feigned the appearance of a gentle husband.
Benjaminforted, “Eleanor, calm down. I think they might have rushed back to Tayhaven by ne
because of some urgent matters. From what I’ve observed, Oscar is quite a dependable and excellent
guy. So don’t worry about it.”
Eleanor lifted her gaze and looked at him as she questioned while sounding uncertain, “Is that so?”
“Besides this, I can’t really think of any other reason for their abrupt departure. They’re not children
anymore. They must have some pressing matters to attend to back home. Otherwise, it’s impossible for
them to leave in such a rush that they didn’t manage to send you a text.”
Eleanor finally heaved a sigh of relief as she sat pondering.
A few secondster, she raised her head and cast a doubtful nce at Benjamin.
