Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 700
Chapter 700 Do Not Put Yourself Down
Carter quickly made his way toward Jennifer as soon as the banquet ended. “Let me send you back,
Jennifer.”
With a conflicted expression, Jennifer nced at him before retracting her gaze. Coolly, she said, “I
won’t have to trouble you, Mr. Scott. I already have someone sending me home.”
Juneughed as he tightened his grip on Jennifer’s waist. “Mr. Scott, are you interested in my partner?
Sorry to disappoint you, but Jennifer is now with me; she even agreed to be my lover if I did something
to help her family’spany. I doubt I’ll be able to let you have her.”
Carter’s eyes gleamed, his gaze locked on Jennifer.
“Is he telling the truth, Jennifer? Didn’t I tell you that you could alwayse to me with yourpany’s
problems? I could help you.” Carter’s brow furrowed as he continued angrily, “You shouldn’t disgrace
yourself no matter what the circumstances are.”
Jennifer scoffed. “You’re funny, Mr. Scott. I’m still a bachelorette, and June’s a bachelor. It’s none of
your business if I willingly be his lover or get married to him. I no longer want to bother you. Don’t
you love Amelia? Please continue with that. However, I respectfully request that you refrain from
getting involved in my business. I’m the one to determine who I get involved with.”
Carter felt a tug at his heartstrings. However, he suddenly had the urge to snap back at her with cruel
comments.
He didn’t like Jennifer putting herself down.

“Get Amelia out of your mouth,” Carter snarled. “You can’tpare to Amelia in any way. Even after
experiencing so many horrible things, she didn’t degrade herself. How about you? You brought this
upon yourself. Who are you acting like a sl*t for?”
Jennifer felt a pang in her heart. Furthermore, the sight of Amelia holding onto Oscar, the epitome of a
happy family, walking toward her made her feel extremely humiliated. Fuming, she turned to June.
“Let’s go, June. We shouldn’t stay and listen to a crazy person spouting nonsense.”
Carter tried to take Jennifer’s hand, but she quickly pped his hand away.
Carter was irritated as he watched her leaving figure. He did not intend for this to happen. He only
wanted Jennifer to keep her distance from June. However, his anger got the better of him and
overcame his sense of reason, turning his words into knives.
Amelia sighed upon seeing the scene. How could Carter have such low EQ? I told him to pursue her,
not piss her off. I don’t remember his EQ being this low in the past.
Amelia cocked her head to a side as she looked at Oscar. Amused, she said, “You should teach Carter
a move or two on pursuing women when you’re free, Oscar. If not, he’s bound to be single for the rest
of his life.”
“Sure,” Oscar agreed without further hesitation.
Oscar would be one rival down if he could bring Carter and Jennifer together. Amelia had no feelings
for Carter, but there was no denying that having one less opponent would make Oscar feel better.
Carter turned around and was met with Amelia’s gaze. His face burned in embarrassment before
chuckling bitterly. “Heading back, Amelia?”
Amelia nodded. “Mm. Tony is sleepy.”
“You guys should go then. I’ll be heading back too,” Carter replied.
Amelia called out to Carter, who was walking ahead, “Carter! You have to take your chances, or else
you’ll really regret it when she’s no longer avable.”
Carter stopped in his tracks.
Oscar, too, spoke up. “Mr. Scott, you’ve already blown your shot with Amelia. Your indecision has
contributed to her bing my wife. You should quit lying to yourself when you’ve finally developed
feelings for anotherdy. June, in my opinion, is not a good person. As a result, I doubt Ms. Larson will
be happy if she ends up with him.”
Carter’s gaze darkened at that.
Meanwhile, Oscar patted Tony on the back. Turning to Amelia, he said, “Let’s get going, Amelia. Some
people need time toe to terms with their own emotions. But if they wait too long, the woman they
want might end up in the arms of another man.”
With an arm around Amelia, Oscar and his family left.
Carter, on the other hand, stood motionless, staring at the silent night sky while lost in thought.
June was staring at Jennifer, who was sitting quietly in the passenger seat. Sneering, he inquired,
“What? Do you feel bad about how you treated Mr. Scott earlier?”
Jennifer opened her eyes. Infuriated, she eximed, “Shut up.”
June shrugged before mocking, “Silly woman. Stop being naive. The man you love used you of
being cheap just by seeing you and me together. Why do you think he said that? Would he think you
and I were messing around if it wasn’t for someone spreading false information to him?”
Jennifer was jolted by his words. “What do you mean?”
As if to add salt to her injury, June added, “Don’t forget who caused you to be like this. You, the
daughter of an affluent family, are in this situation because of that woman’s actions. While you’re
strolling down the street, people assume you’re soliciting customers. I even heard that yourpany’s
directors had advised your father to allow you to use your body to satisfy those major clients. They
imed that because of your inte sess and the attractiveness of your body, many men would be
interested in you. Say, am I right?”
“Shut the heck up,” Jennifer spat, her anger failing to dissipate.
June smirked. “You’re getting mad over this?”
“Start driving. I don’t mind walking if you don’t want to drive.” With that, Jennifer unfastened her
seatbelt and was about to get off the car. At that moment, June piped up, “I have no idea how you’re
supposed to win against Amelia with how easily you lose yourposure, Jennifer. Men adore her for
a variety of reasons, including her beauty, elegance, and most significantly, her poise and ability to
maintain control of the situation.”
Jennifer fell back to the passenger’s seat again and regarded June coldly. “What? Are you trying to tell
me that you’ve fallen for her?”
“Not a chance. I merely admire her courage and elegance. The person I love is always Cassie,” June
eximed with a shrug and a smile.
“Your love is quite cheap, huh? Even though you’ve been publicly expressing your love for Cassie, you
have rtionships with numerous other women. Don’t tell me this is your so-called love,” Jennifer
retorted.
June shot her a nce. “You should take care of yourself. You aren’t qualified to give me a lecture.”
Jennifer slumped against the seat and said nothing in return.
When June received a call from Elizabeth informing him that Cassie had a fever and asking him to
check her out, his car had already arrived in the town area. As a result, June had no choice but to pull
over to the side of the road and tell Jennifer to get out.
While unfastening her seatbelt, Jennifer said, “Cassie has been telling me how much of a pervert you
are—an inhumane animal, to be exact. However, she’s been extremely nervous when you’re with me,
huh? She’s beening up with a bunch of problems these few days. I swear she’s the one who’s
always seeking problems.”
Much to Jennifer’s surprise, June had a satisfied smile on his face. “The more she seeks problems, the
more valued I am in her heart.”
“The both of you are seriously a match made in heaven,” Jennifer scoffed. Before getting off the car,
she reminded, “Help me tell Cassie that we’re allies. She doesn’t have to be wary of me and treat me
as if I’m a foe.”
June’s answer, however, was to speed away right after Jennifer got off the car.
Jennifer felt slightly disheartened as she stared at the car’s disappearing figure.
Carter’s words from earlier were still reying in her mind.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest. At that moment, she was at a loss. She had been working
hard, preparing for each move, and had even be involved with June. She felt dirty as she didn’t
hesitate to give him ess to her body. Even though Carter was the one she loved, she felt no guilt
about having sex with other men.
To get her revenge, she gave up on her body. However, she wondered if it was right to do so.
Jennifer hailed a taxi to get home. She saw a tall figure standing by the entrance of the vipound.
The illumination of the street light had elongated his shadow.
A grim look shed in her eyes as she stared at the figure not far away in a daze. If I could rewind time,
I wouldn’t want to know him. He made me experience the bitterness of love and caused many terrible
things to happen to my family.
It had not even been three years, and she was already exhausted by the effects of the so-called love.
Millions of thoughts raced through Jennifer’s mind before she finally decided to walk over with her head
raised high and proud. She would not allow herself to show any signs of weakness in front of the man
not far away.
Without sparing the man any nces, she strode toward the vi. The man reached out to grab her
when she passed him. “Jennifer, I apologize for my harsh words earlier. Can we please talk?”
Jennifer turned around and stared at him as if she had just realized he was there. Mockingly, she said,
“Oh? Mr. Scott? How did you end up here? I thought you went ahead to pursue your so-called true
love. I didn’t expect you to show up here. It can’t be that you’re here especially to wait for me, the
nobody who gets nothing in love?”
Carter frowned as he tried to keep his anger at bay. “You can get mad at me all you want, Jennifer. Just
please don’t degrade yourself further. I’ve heard about yourpany, and I’ll help you. Don’t stray too
close to June. I’ve done some research on him; his rtionships areplicated, and he’s even
entangled with Cassie. There’ll be no good oue if you end up with him.”
Jennifer found Carter’s words humorous.
“Are you pitying me, Carter?” she retorted.
“I’m not, Jennifer. I’ve always thought of you as my little sister, and I don’t want to see you get hurt,”
Carter exined.
Jennifer immediately freed herself from his grip and yelled devastatingly, “Get lost!”
Carter stared at her in shock.
She waved her hands in defeat as she pleaded, “I’m begging you, Carter. Stop appearing in my life. I
indeed love you, but please stop giving me futile hope. I always feel extremely humiliated when I see
you. So please, I beg you, stop appearing in my life.”
Carter was staring at her intently. He raised his hand subconsciously but soon lowered it weakly.
Jennifer spared him ast nce. Regaining herposure, she said, “I’ll head in first. I still have to
go to work tomorrow.”
Carter nodded. “Sure. I’ll see you at work tomorrow. I believe you’ll have calmed down enough to listen
to what I have to say.”
Jennifer only sighed helplessly. Without sparing Carter another nce, she turned around and went
straight into the vipound.
She had no extra energy to deduce the reason for Carter’s sudden appearance. Thepany, her
scandal, her involvement with June, and Laura’s recurring illness had upied most of her time. It was
no longer of great importance to her whether Carter loved her.
What difference would it make even if she loved him?
