Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 792
Chapter 792 Whose Side Will He Take
It was already nightfall by the time they finished dinner. Upon bidding each other farewell, Amelia took
the back seat with Tony while Oscar drove them home.
When the trio exited the elevator, they ran into Noah and Stephanie. Both of them seemed to be having
a falling-out, as Noah pleaded frantically, “Come home with me, Steph. Nothing is going on between
Emma and me. Yes, I admit that we used to be an item. However, it’s all in the past. I’ve cut off ties with
her before you and I got together. She’s the one who’s constantly pestering me. I didn’t mean to hurt
you, Steph. I love you, I really do.”
Stephanie avoided him and snapped, “Don’t touch me!”
“Steph—” Before Noah could say anything further, Amelia interrupted him, “What are you two doing
here?” She could not care less if the couple had made up with each other. Her priority was to stop them
from raising a ruckus outside of her house, especially when Tony was present. She did not want her
child to witness such a scene.
When Noah saw Oscar and Amelia, the former collected himself and greeted them politely, “Hi, Oscar
and Amelia.”
As Stephanie strode toward Amelia, Oscar instinctively pulled the mother and son duo behind him.
“Oscar, Amelia, Noah is so annoying! Could I put up a night at your ce, please? I don’t want to see
him at all!” Stephanieined aggrievedly.
Unfortunately, Oscar insisted firmly, “Go home now.”
The pregnant Stephanie turned to Amelia and heaved a sigh. “I was hoping you could let me stay here
tonight, Amelia. May I?”
“Oscar, let them go inside. We’re not the only family living here. It won’t be nice to disturb the neighbors
at this hour,” suggested Amelia as she adjusted Tony’s position in her arms.
Oscar nodded in response.
With that, Noah and Stephanie followed them into the house.
“Oscar, it’s gettingte. I’m going to bathe Tony upstairs before he gets sleepy,” Amelia announced.
Oscar acknowledged her with a nod.
As soon as Amelia took the steps upstairs, Oscar’s expression darkened instantly.
“What do the both of you want?”
“I’m sorry, Oscar. I didn’t expect Steph to show up at your ce. I just wanted to bring her home. Since
you’re my brother-inw, would you help me persuade her and say something nice on my behalf?”
Noah said earnestly.
Upon taking a nce at Stephanie, Oscar obliged. “That’s enough, Steph. It’s time to go home. Don’t
think you can do as you please just because Noah spoils you. Which guy doesn’t have a past
rtionship before getting married? Don’t make a big fuss out of it. You’ve got two options; get a
divorce or go back with him and live happily ever after. Pick one.”
Biting her lip, Stephanie fell silent.
On the other hand, Noah was surprised that Oscar was taking his side.
“Please forgive me, Steph. I can guarantee this won’t happen again,” Noah quickly added.
Stephanie red at him. Subsequently, she unexpectedly lunged at Oscar. Wrapping her arms around
his, she uttered in a child-like manner, “I’m sorry, Oscar. I know it’s my fault. We’ve been giving each
other the cold shoulder for three long years. It’s about time we make up, right?”
Oscar stared at her indifferently.
“Forgive me, Oscar. I’ll go back with Noah if you promise to forgive me.”
As an idea dawned on him, Oscar cast her a look and asked, “You really want me to forgive you?”
With much anticipation, Stephanie stared at him intently with a pair of bright eyes.
“Sure, you’re forgiven.”
There was a sparkle in her eyes when she heard that. “Really, Oscar?”
He nodded.
Smiling sheepishly, Stephanie walked up to Noah and hugged him by the neck. “Did you hear that,
Noah? Oscar and I have patched things up. From now on, you can’t bully me anymore. Otherwise, I’ll
chop off your you-know-what.”
Delighted, Noah tucked her into his embrace.
If Oscar and Stephanie are on talking terms, I’ll be the one who benefits the most from their good
rtionship. In turn, this will help Walker Group significantly. However, why does Oscar change his
mind all of a sudden and forgive Stephanie? I doubt he’s someone fickle-minded who doesn’t stick to
his principles. Is something fishy going on?
Though Noah was overjoyed, he could not help but feel suspicious about the whole situation.
“What are you thinking, Noah? Why aren’t you responding to me? Tell me honestly. Are you scheming
how to marry that sl*tty Emma?” Stephanie’s crisp voice snapped Noah out of his daze. “As long as I’m
still alive, she’ll not marry into the family in any way!”
Feeling helpless, Noah looked at her dotingly. “Don’t say that, Steph. You’re the only one I love, and
you know that. She’s only my ex.”
“You’d better etch that fact on your mind,” she replied smugly. “Let’s not disturb Oscar and Amelia and
head home now.”
After sending them off, Oscar wanted to make his way upstairs, only to realize that Amelia was
standing by the stairwell.
He smirked while walking up to her,nding a kiss on her forehead. “Is Tony asleep?”
Amelia nodded.
Hugging her waist, Oscar led her to the bedroom. “Why aren’t you asking me why I agreed to forgive
Stephanie?”
“Why should I? You always have your reasons. There’s no need for you to consider my opinions,”
Amelia answered openly.
To her, it was unnecessary to entangle Oscar in her fights with Stephanie, especially when thetter
was Oscar’s kin. Moreover, it did not seem right for Amelia to force Oscar to break ties with his sister
because of the grudge she had against Stephanie. She figured it would only make her sound downright
unreasonable if she were to do that.
“I intend to help the Walkers reach the pinnacle of their business. Once Noah has tasted the goodness
of power at a high and lofty position, I’ll make him fall into the deepest of pits and experience
hopelessness. By then, I’ll add fuel to the mes. Do you think this will make Noah and Stephanie fight
intensely?” Oscar shared his n cidly.
Amelia lifted her head and smiled at him when their gazes met. “You’re nning to sabotage them?”
“I didn’t think of doing that initially, but they really shouldn’t have thought about taking advantage of
you. Considering how much Stephanie hates you, she can’t butter you up without an apparent reason.
It’s either Noah or Isabe who gave her the idea to do so. Anyway, I’m not going to put their hard work
to waste since they have ns to use Stephanie to take me down.” A vicious gaze shed across
Oscar’s eyes. “I do have some free time to y games with them.”
However, what Oscar did not know then was that his scheme would bring him unfavorable oues.
Had he known that his n would separate him from Amelia temporarily, he would have made a
decision to remove all roadblocks mercilessly and chart a clear path for Amelia.
Unfortunately, no one could predict what was toe.
Finding his grand n amusing, Amelia brushed it off by saying, “Get some sleep.”
Subsequently, Oscar walked arm in arm with her into the bathroom for a lovey-dovey shower.
When Amelia got out of the bathroom, she was exhausted and soon settled into a rare good night’s
sleep.
The following morning, Oscar drove Amelia to work before heading to Clinton Corporations. He
received a call from Emma on his way there.
“Mr. Clinton, when are you depositing the remaining sum to me? Lately, your sister has asked someone
to observe my every move. I’m afraid she might harm me. At this point, I can’t rely on Noah anymore,
so could you give me a lump sum and make arrangements for me to leave Tayhaven? I can tell there’s
nowhere for me to hide here.” Emma sounded panic-stricken on the phone.
Oscar knitted his brows instantaneously.
“You will be remunerated for the information you’ve provided me. However, I have an upper hand in this
game, and I’m the only one who can call it quits. Unless I say stop, you’ll have to deal with all the
rtionship problems you have with Noah on your own. I won’t interfere a bit,” Oscar rejected her at
once.
“I beg you, Mr. Clinton, please… If you can stop your sister from giving me a hard time, I promise to
share a big secret with you. It’s about Noah! I dare to guarantee it will surely pique your interest,”
Emma replied anxiously.
Pondering for a moment, Oscar remarked, “Spill!”
“Okay, I’ll tell you now. His secret is—” Before Emma could finish her sentence, the line was cut off.
Upon hearing the dreaded dialing tone, Oscar frowned. Even so, he had no intention of calling back
because Emma was merely an insignificant pawn to him.
Meanwhile, somebody was grabbing Emma’s hair and dragging her to the couch before throwing the
woman on it.
“Beat her to a pulp!”manded a woman.
With that, a series of punches and kicks were aimed at Emma, which caused her to wail in agony.
After what felt like an eternity, the woman yelled, “Stop!”
Immediately, the men stopped the beating.
“This isn’t a bad-looking face. It’s no wonder Noah likes you,” Stephaniemented as she tilted
Emma’s head. “What if I make several cuts on your face and show it to Noah? Do you think he will
defend you?”
Instantly, fear crept up on Emma. She widened her eyes in shock and subconsciously shrank.
“Ms. Clinton, assaulting others will put y-you behind bars,” Emma stammered. “I’ve been with Noah for
years. You’re not his first love, no matter what. If one has to make a big deal out of it, it’s me.
Therefore, you can’t treat me like this.”
Stephaniended a tight p across Emma’s face and proimed arrogantly, “I don’t care how long
you’ve been with him. He’s mine now, and only I can possess him. Everyone else can get lost!”
Pretending to be scared of her wits, Emma pleaded weakly, “Ms. Clinton, I didn’t mean to fight over a
man with you. I just wanted to have his backing. Please let me go. Someone like me who uses my
body to win over a guy’s heart can’t bepared to you.”
Pinching Emma’s face harshly, Stephanie remarked, “It seems you have a shred of self-awareness.”
She was pleased with her revenge when she saw the red marks emerging on Emma’s face. “Call Noah
now and request him toe over within half an hour,” she ordered one of the men.”
“Yes, Ms. Clinton.” A sturdy man whipped out his phone and dialed Noah’s number. “Mr. Walker, Ms.
Clinton is here at Ms. Garcia’s, and she wants you to be here.”
After that, he hung up and reported right away, “Ms. Clinton, Mr. Walker will be here in a jiffy.”

Stephanie burst out chuckling at that. “Wow, Emma, Noah seems to care a lot about you! How do you
think he will react when he sees me torturing you in front of him? Shall we ce our bets? Do you think
he will protect you?”
At that moment, Emma could not help but shudder with trepidation.
