Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 877
Chapter 877 Power And Influence
Isabe was very nervous to see her videos and photographs spread like wildfire on the inte. The
incident caused members of the Walker family to be anxious as well. Even Noah was seen pacing
around the house.
“Isabe, why don’t you go meet Oscar? He has always told you that he likes you. Moreover, you’re his
fiancée. It’s weird if he’s merely sitting back and doing nothing,” he said with jitter.
Simr to him, she was restless as well. After all, she had put in a lot of effort to be where she was
now. Therefore, she would not let everything slip through her hands so easily.
“Please find ways to delete the videos and photographs for me, Noah. If you don’t, it will really anger
Oscar and the Clinton family. I’m not the only one who’s doomed. Even the Walker family won’t gain
anything good from it,” said Isabe petntly before grabbing her bag and leaving the house.
Noah clenched his hands into fists and snorted angrily.
All of a sudden, Stephanie came down the stairs. She noticed his grim expression and approached
him. “Look at how furious you are. Did you argue with Isabe again? What’s there to fight about? In
my opinion, the Walker family can only prosper if both of you can get along well.”
With that, Noah took a deep breath to calm his temper.
He frowned as he spoke. “We didn’t argue. I only reminded her to be careful for the time being She
shouldn’t let the reporters take more photos of her. You shouldn’t go out as well. It’s to prevent you from
being ambushed by the reporters. They’re never afraid of making trouble. Sometimes, they even have
no qualms about twisting a storypletely.”
Stephanie huffed, but she had to admit that he was right.
With a frown, she said, “I need to go home to see what the Clinton family is up to. Logically, Oscar
won’t let the videos and photos circte further.” Even though she usually couldn’t care less about
others, she also noticed that something was amiss.
Moreover, she was afraid that Oscar would be furious and n to use the incident as an excuse to
teach Isabe and the Walker family a lesson.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Noah said, “I’lle with you.”
Stephanie shook her head after mulling it over.
“You don’t have to go. I’m sure my parents are still angry over Isabe’s incident.”
“Steph, thank you for helping out. We can only rely on you toe up with a n after something like
this has happened.”
She rolled her eyes and waved her hand impatiently.
“That’s enough. Stop being melodramatic. It pisses me off. It’s better if you start finding ways to delete
Isabe’s videos. More than two days have passed, and there’s no progress at all. Don’t let me think
that you’re good for nothing without help from the Clinton family.”
Keeping his anger in check, Noah said, “Don’t worry, Steph. I’ve instructed my men to delete the
videos. It should be over soon.”
He was annoyed by people frequently mentioning that he relied on Oscar to make Walker Group grow
bigger and stronger. It was no surprise that he started to find ways to bring Oscar down and take away
the shares in Clinton Corporations in order to im them as his.
“I’m leaving now. If everything is good, I won’te back home. Don’t try to flirt around while you’re at
home. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson.” Having warned him, Stephanie left hastily.
Clenching his fists tightly, Noah looked at Stephanie’s retreating back with mixed feelings. He was
dissatisfied because Stephanie had been bossing him around for the past two years. If she were not
the daughter of the Clinton family and also the mother of his son, he would never let her challenge his
authority.
He had been patient all this while and was looking forward to seeing Oscar eating out of his hand one
day.
Meanwhile, Stephanie did not know what was going on in his mind. Otherwise, she would scorn his
overly-ambitious dream. In her opinion, Noah was an easy target. He would never be a threat to
anyone. It was the reason why she had managed to bully him for the past few years.
She brought Nn, her son who had just learned how to walk, home to the Clinton residence. It was a
surprise for her to see Amelia and Tony there as well. With a frown, she subconsciously hugged Nn
tighter.
Her life had been good for the past year because Olivia loved Nn. Moreover, as her rtionship with
Oscar was on the mend, she could do as she pleased in the Clinton residence. In fact, she got so
carried away that she had forgotten all about Amelia and Tony. Their sudden appearance awakened a
sense of danger in her mind.
It was not easy for her to gain Olivia’s love—all thanks to Nn. Thus, she would do anything to stop
Amelia from taking away all that she had now.
Thousands of thoughts raced through Stephanie’s mind at that moment. However, she did not stop
walking while carrying Nn in her arms.
“I brought your grandson to see you, Mom,” said Stephanie as she pretended not to see Amelia and
Tony.
Olivia was having fun ying with Tony. It had been a year since theirst meeting, and she had
missed him so much. As such, she was not angry over Stephanie’s rudeness.
“Amelia and Tony just came back from overseas. Aren’t you going to greet them, Steph?” she asked.
As a response, Stephanie put her son down and let him walk toward Olivia.
“Mom, I don’t see Isabe and Oscar around. Can you help me to coax Noah? I’m starting to get tired
of hearing him asking for you for the past couple of days,” Stephanie said coyly while continuing to
ignore Amelia and Tony.
Olivia’s face darkened. Deep inside, she was annoyed by Stephanie’s attitude.
“Why are you behaving like this, Steph? Tony just came back from overseas after a year. Can’t you
treat him nicely?” she said grimly.
Finally, Stephanie nced unwillingly at Tony. She noticed that he had be more handsome after a
year. Even the aura that he was exuding and his appearance looked very simr to Oscar’s. Stephanie
gritted her teeth as she did not want him toe back. Once he did, she knew that the Clinton family
would treat Nn like he was an outsider.
Stephanie approached him and said with feigned affection, “Come here, Tony. I’m sorry that I didn’t
greet you. You’ve grown so much in a year.”
Without any expression on his face, Tony nodded toward her solemnly.
“Hello, Aunt Stephanie,” he said with a slightly cold tone.
Except when he was with Amelia, he rarely showed any spirited behavior toward strangers.
After a mocking nce at Amelia, Stephanie said to Tony, “You’ve only been staying abroad for a year,
Tony. Why are you so formal with me? You were so cute when you were younger, but now you look so
unhappy. Were you bullied overseas?”
He red at her in displeasure.
“I have never been bullied, Aunt Stephanie. In fact, I’ve always ranked first in school. Other children
always said that I was their boss. Mommy told me that as the first grandson of the Clinton family, I’m
the heir, so I can’t show any weaknesses in front of others. I can’t embarrass Grandpa and Grandma,”
he exined solemnly.
Stephanie chuckled tly. Covertly, she hated him so much.
On the contrary, Olivia was very sad to hear his remarks. She hugged him tightly and called him
“Darling” repeatedly.
Stephanie was furious when she saw Nn left standing at the side.
“Mom, Nn is asking for you. Can’t you see that he’s going to cry?” Stephanie reminded Olivia.
Olivia finally noticed her grandson.
Tony also noticed the cute little boy. The former lifted his hand and wanted to hold his face. However,
Stephanie grabbed his hand all of a sudden.
Olivia and Amelia turned to look at her at the same time.
“Don’t misunderstand, Mom. Nn is still young. I’m only afraid that Tony might injure him. It’s going to
be difficult if he cries,” Stephanie exined.
However, Olivia was evidently displeased with her actions. After giving Nn back to Stephanie, she
took Tony into her arms.
“Steph, you’re my daughter, and Nn is my grandson. So I’ll always love both of you. That being said,
Tony is also my grandson. He’s my precious treasure. When youin about him, you’re also
indirectly implying the same about me. If you don’t like this family, you can go back to the Walker family.
Don’t get carried away and think that you can give Tony the cold shoulder just because I was willing to
forgive you for the sake of your child,” Olivia said with a grim expression.
Upon hearing Olivia’s words, Stephanie’s expression darkened.
She hugged Nn and proceeded to pinch his waist when no one was paying attention to them.
Immediately, he felt the pain and cried out loud.
The moment he started crying, he extended his hands and asked for Olivia. Stephanie then took the
opportunity to put him on Olivia’sp.
As Olivia felt sorry for Nn, she hugged and consoled him.
“Hush hush. It’s all right. I’m here, Nn,” Olivia said gently.
However, she did not expect him to cry even louder.
As Amelia watched from the side, she did not have the heart to see him crying.
“Let me try, Mom,” she said.
Olivia passed him to her. Initially, Stephanie wanted to stop Olivia, but thetter red at her discreetly.
Therefore, Stephanie had no choice but to let the matter go.
Unexpectedly, Nn stopped crying the moment he was in Amelia’s arms. He even hugged her back.
Meanwhile, Stephanie was frustrated to see him acting that way with the woman she hated the most.
What an ingrate! Doesn’t he know who his actual mother is? I’m the one who gives him food to eat and
clothes to wear.
Olivia looked at her meaningfully. “Why don’t you give more attention to Nn, Steph? Don’t just dwell
on trivial matters. Just spend more time teaching your child so he doesn’t be a stubborn ingrate.”
Stephanie’s expression stiffened as her temper rose.

“Mom, how could you say that about Nn? You’ve been watching him grow up, so you should know
him well. The moment Tony came back, you’d been praising him non-stop. Worst of all, you even said
that Nn would be an ingrate. Do you still think of him as your grandson?” she retorted.
Olivia shot her a re.
“That’s enough. Since Tony is here today, I won’t be too harsh on you lest you say that I’m humiliating
you in front of them. If there’s nothing else that you want, why don’t you bring Nn home?” she
huffed.
Stephanie was stunned.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
“Mom, I’m here to see you. Moreover, I want to exin to you about Isabe’s videos. She was framed
by someone else. I remember that you saw it before. Can you instruct them to delete the videos? Since
you liked Isabe, why don’t you help her?” she asked matter-of-factly.
Having heard her words, Olivia was so angry that she chortled.
As she looked at Stephanie, she regretted spoiling her daughter in the past, causing thetter to be so
brazen. Previously, Stephanie had teamed up with Isabe to frame Oscar, and she only forgave her
because of Nn. However, Isabe had tried to earn her trust and used it as a weapon to harm Oscar.
While she would never be able to let the matter rest, Oscar had been very kind not to get his revenge
on Isabe. Now that Stephanie wanted her help, she had an urge to tell the former to stop being
delusional.
“Steph, just go back and inform Isabe that our family will hold a press conferenceter to announce
the cancetion of her engagement with Oscar. I don’t want a promiscuous woman to be my daughter-
inw,” she said frankly.
Stephanie’s expression darkened as she said hastily, “Mom, you can’t do that to Isabe.”
Unable to stand her daughter anymore, Olivia instructed the housekeeper to escort Stephanie and
Nn out. Then, she arranged for them to be sent back to the Walker residence. Furthermore, she
even instructed them not toe to the house for the time being.
Amelia remained an onlooker during the entire incident. She only rxed after Stephanie left and
everything was back to normal again.
“It’s time for Tony and me to go back, Mom,” she said.
“You have to stay for dinner. I’ve not met Tony for a long time. I really missed him. You must allow him
to stay for the night,” persuaded Olivia while hugging Tony tightly.
Amelia chuckled.
“Mom, why do you behave like I’m the enemy? Rest assured, I won’t take Tony away from you. I just
want to inform you that I’ve already found a school for Tony. He skipped preschool and attended
primary school when we were abroad, so I’ve been teaching him the sybus for primary schools here.
Therefore, he’ll be able to fit in perfectly once he transfers here. I just want to bring him to see the
principal and take the entrance exam,” she exined.
Olivia was relieved to hear that. She recalled Amelia mentioning it before during their conversation over
the phone. However, she had forgotten all about it when she met Tony. Moreover, she always thought
that Tony was still a young kid and had no reason to be so diligent at that young age. Nevertheless, she
knew that as the oldest grandson of the Clinton family and the heir to Clinton Corporations, he had to
start his education early on. Otherwise, he might be an arrogant scion due to the power and
wealth of the family.
As such, she was not going to interfere in his education. She merely felt sorry for him.
“I’ll go with you because I want to see which school he will be attending. I have to make sure the school
is good enough for my grandson.”
Upon hearing her remarks, Amelia nodded.
At two in the afternoon, Olivia and Amelia brought Tony to the school that he would be attending in the
future. It was an international private primary school. The annual fee was more than one hundred
thousand, and it did not include the fees for the books and amodation. Nheless, it was a good
school. The teachers were very knowledgeable. Even the security measures were impable as there
were teams of security guards making rounds around the school. Outsiders would not be able to enter
without any permit.
All of that made it the most expensive and the best school in the city.
Olivia was pleased after seeing its surroundings.
The principal, Idris Young, personally came out to meet them.
When he saw Olivia, he said with an amicable smile, “Hello, Mrs. Clinton. How are you? I didn’t expect
to see you here. We met at a dinner party before.”
Puzzled, Olivia looked at him. She tried to recall his face in her mind, but she was unable to remember
him.
“You must have forgotten about it. After all, I’m merely the principal of a primary school. I had the
opportunity to meet you and Mr. Clinton at a charity event two years ago. What brings you here? Are
you here to discuss your grandson’s enrolment? Let’s not stand here. Pleasee inside.” He brought
them into his office and instructed his assistant to prepare some drinks and pastry for them.
Then, he added, “I can see that the young man is a smart kid. He doesn’t have to do the entrance
exam. I will assign him to the best ss in first grade. Please be rest assured. The teacher for that
ss is the best one in the whole grade. She won’t mistreat him,” he said after praising Tony.
Olivia was very satisfied upon hearing that.
“I’ll be counting on you, Mr. Young. If you need any supplies, you can get in touch with Clinton
Corporations at any time. We’re always happy to help the school.”
Idris grinned widely at her offer.
“In that case, it will be rude for me to reject your offer, Mrs. Clinton.”
With that, the arrangements for Tony’s school were settled swiftly. After all, wealth and power could do
wonders.
Once Amelia and Olivia were back inside the car, the former was able to once again feel how influential
the Clinton family was. Nevertheless, she also knew that there were many people who merely wanted
to suck up to the family.
