Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 685
Chapter 685 Transformation
“Boss, Rory left with Jennifer,” Hugo reported everything he saw at Oscar’s office. Oscar replied without
looking up, “I see.”
Hugo looked at Oscar and could not figure out what he was thinking. Therefore, he hesitated before
asking, “Boss, are you going to let Rory go with only a minor punishment?”
Oscar put down his pen and looked at Hugo. “What would you do if you were in my ce?”
Hugo considered and answered, “Boss, I don’t dare to deduce what you think. However, your past self
would have destroyed her. Therefore, it is unlike you to let her go after only making her apologize in
public.”
Oscar smirked. I’m not going to forgive that woman easily. What I did was only y a game of cat and
mouse with her. It is better to torment her slowly. Then, it would be easier for me to crumble her mind
and spirit.
“I promised Amelia to be less harsh and cruel in punishing others. Therefore, I do not want Rory to
receive her punishment so soon. Since she wants to work for Jennifer, let her be. A person who betrays
will betray again. We only have to sit and wait to watch the show. Do you understand what I mean?”
Oscar exined with a wicked smile.
“Boss, do you mean they will turn against each other?” Hugo asked.
Oscar nodded and gave him an approving nce.
“Boss, your wisdom is unrivaled,” Hugo praised.
“That’s enough. I don’t want your ttery. Previously, I asked you to monitor June. Is he up to anything
lately?” Oscar suddenly switched the topic.
“Boss, June became quieter after that video blew out on the Web. However, I discovered that his
cousin had secretly entered Chanaea today. This cousin is the real heir and June’s biggest rival. Would
you like to meet him?” Hugo replied.
“Sure, arrange a time with him,” Oscar replied.
“Yes, Boss.” Hugo replied.
“You may leave now,” Oscar instructed.
Thus, Hugo nodded and retreated from the office.
After that, Oscar continued to work until six o’clock. Then, he got ready to head to Amelia’s workce.
He saw Ameliaing out of the building with Shane. Therefore, he opened the door and headed
toward Amelia.
“Amelia, your knight in shining armor has arrived,” Shane said in good humor.
Ameliaughed and turned around to see Oscar approaching her.
“Mr. Clinton, I shall now return your wife to you. There was a giarization incident, but I believe you
are a gracious man and will not hold a grudge against me.” Although Shane was smiling, he said that to
probe Oscar’s thoughts on the matter.
Oscar nced at Shane and smirked. “Of course, I won’t.”
Shane breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he shrugged and said, “Mr. Clinton, Amelia, I’ll stop bothering you two and head off first.”
After Shane left, Jolin, who quietly followed Amelia from behind, also chose to leave wisely.
Amelia held onto Oscar’s arm and stood on tip toes to give him a peck on his lips. She moved away
quickly to avoid triggering his lust. “Let’s go.”
Oscar wanted more, but he had no choice but to follow her into the car.
“Oscar, how did you know Rory stole the blueprints?” Amelia asked after putting on the seatbelts.
Oscar caressed her cheek and replied, “Are you unhappy about this?”
Amelia shook her head and answered softly, “No, I’m not. I just didn’t expect her to do this to me. I
thought I have always treated her well.”
“There is no end to a person’s greed. Rory is young, but she is unusually ambitious. I had someone
investigate her and found her having affairs with many higher-ups in yourpany. One of them is the
manager of your department, while the other is the director of the finance department. Furthermore,
she also cozied up to yourpany’s vice president and various directors. She managed to seduce all
these powerful men in less than a year. Therefore, one must not underestimate what she is capable of.
I believe she targeted you because you stood in the way of her promotion. She could only achieve her
goal by removing you from thepany,” Oscar exined calmly.
Amelia narrowed her gaze. She still found it hard to believe that Rory was such a person.
“Oscar, are all these true?” Amelia asked.
“If you don’t believe me, I can send you the investigation oue for you to have a look.” Oscar
retracted his hand from her cheek and started the car. “Amelia, you are kind to people, but it doesn’t
mean they won’t envy your achievements. Furthermore, you are not only beautiful but have Shane as
your friend during university and the Clintons as your inws. Some people are bound to get jealous of
all the good things you have. Therefore, I’m not surprised that someone would steal your blueprints.
However, you must be careful about the people around you. I don’t want you to get hurt.”
Amelia looked out of the window and smiled. “I was careless. It won’t happen again.”
Oscar nced at her but said nothing. He considered the blueprints theft incident resolved.
Soon, they arrived home and saw a woman with long straight hair ying with Tony. Amelia and Oscar
exchanged nces. Neither could recall ever meeting such a woman.
“Tony,” Amelia called.
Tony immediately left the woman and ran to Amelia.
“Mommy, you’re back. I miss you so much,” Tony said as he hugged Amelia’s thigh.
Amelia carried Tony in her arms and said to the woman standing with her back facing them, “Miss, who
are you?”
The woman turned around and asked with a grin, “Amelia, don’t you recognize me?”
Amelia was stunned upon seeing the woman’s face and replied in disbelief, “Eva?”

Amelia had wanted to give Eva a makeover and had sent an etiquette coach to guide her. However,
Amelia was too busytely and could not find time to follow up on Eva’s progress. It turned out to be
better than Amelia imagined.
Eva fluttered hershes yfully and turned around to show Amelia her new look. “Amelia, do you like
how I look now?”
Amelia stood closer and held Eva’s hands as she looked at Eva from top to bottom. Then, Amelia said
with a smile, “You look even better than I imagined. I think you score ny-nine out of one hundred. I
left out one mark to give you room for improvement. However, I think you look perfect now. You can
start pursuing James.”
Eva smiled and asked, “Amelia, is that true?”
Previously, Eva was easygoing and did not care much about her appearance. Now, she appeared
ladylike in her every gesture. She looked unbelievably beautiful and reminded Amelia of an exquisitely
carved marble statue.
Amelia nodded in response.
However, Eva’s smile suddenly diminished. She looked sad as she said, “Amelia, I feel ufortable
wearing this gorgeous dress. It feels like I am wearing a delicate mask. Do you think it is good for me to
change this way?”
Amelia was stunned by Eva’s question.
Eva had always been easygoing. However, Amelia thought Eva needed to be like a goddess to
be deserving of the brilliant James. Now that Eva had turned gorgeous, Amelia wondered if that was
something Eva wanted.
“Eva, do you dislike how you look now?” Amelia asked.
Eva scratched her head and answered, “I don’t dislike it, but I’m not used to it. I can no longer drink and
feast with my guy friends. All those guys now treat me like a gorgeousdy. They don’t even dare to
say anything vulgar freely with me anymore. It feels like I have fallen into an unfamiliar world.”
Amelia guided Eva to a couch. “Don’t worry, you will eventually get used to it. Have you met James
yet?”
Eva shook her head. “Not yet. When the teacher said I havepleted my transformation, I rushed
here to find you. So, I haven’t had the chance to eat dinner. Amelia, do you mind if I have dinner here?”
Amelia smiled and replied, “Of course not. This is your home.”
After dinner, Eva grabbed hold of Oscar and asked, “Oscar, you are a man, so what do you think of my
transformation?”
Oscar nced at her and replied diabolically, “You are much moredylike than before. If you maintain
this, many men would pursue you. However, there is no guarantee that those men are the type that you
want.”
Eva red at him. “Is that all, Oscar?”
Oscar raised his eyebrows and replied, “What else do you want me to say?”
“Am I more beautiful or Amelia?” Eva asked.
Oscar rolled his eyes and felt she was asking a stupid question. “You don’t even score a zero
compared to Amelia.”
Eva was rendered speechless.
Then, she realized she was asking for trouble. Oscar was deeply in love with Amelia. Yet, Eva dared to
ask him to make aparison between Amelia and her.
“Oscar, you are so mean,” Eva replied indignantly.
“If I don’t, how could I have gotten your gorgeous cousin?” Oscar retorted and rendered Eva
speechless.
Then, they bickered a little more before Oscar headed to the study to work.
Soon, Amelia came out of the kitchen with a te of cut fruits. “Eva,e and have some fruits.”
“When are you nning to visit the hospital?” Amelia asked as Eva sat down and picked up a slice of
apple.
Eva stopped eating and fell silent.
“Why? Do you not love James after you have turned beautiful?” Amelia continued.
Eva looked at Amelia and did not know how she should react. “Amelia, that is not true. I’m just scared
he won’t like how I look now. People say beauty boosts a woman’s confidence. However, I feel it is the
opposite for me. I feel my past self was carefree and happy. But now, it feels like I am wearing an
exquisite mask. Although I look beautiful, it feels fake.”
Amelia smiled andforted, “Eva, what makes you think like that? It doesn’t matter whether you are
beautiful or ugly. You are still you and I think you have always been amazing. Furthermore, you have
grown beautiful, so you should be more confident. I believe James will like your new appearance, but a
rtionship doesn’t sustain on appearance alone. It also depends on thepatibility of a couple’s
personality, aspirations, and ideals. A beautiful outlook only gives you a better opportunity. Thus, it
depends on you to use that opportunity wisely.”
Eva pondered on what Amelia said. After a while, a confident smile appeared on her face.
Amelia noticed her smile and asked, “Have you figured it out?”
Eva nodded.
