Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 626 Played Like A Fiddle

The next day, Oscar brought Amelia to the City Hall to get remarried. With her marriage certificate in

her hands, Amelia was feeling happy and startled at the same time. In fact, she was overwhelmed with

mixed feelings.

After exiting the City Hall, Amelia was still unable to regain her composure.

Right then, Oscar wrapped his arm around her waist and smiled. “What’s wrong? Are you too happy?”

Amelia turned around to look at the same old City Hall and couldn’t help but smile. “Over two years

ago, we arrived at this City Hall at around the same time in the day to get our divorce certificate. At that

time, I was suffering from insomnia, and I thought I’d never see you again in my life. Who would’ve

believed this drastic turn of events? In the end, you’re still the man standing right beside me.”

Oscar held her chin and kissed her passionately. When he was done, he looked intently at Amelia, who

was in a daze. With a smile, he said, “When you left without saying a word, I’ve gone to extreme

lengths to get you back. Doesn’t that mean you’re bound to spend the rest of your life with me?”

Amelia slowly regained her composure and flashed him a half-smile. “Oscar, you’re getting more and

more thick-skinned, aren’t you?”

“If not? How would I be able to make you my wife all over again?” Oscar smiled.

Perhaps it was because things were looking good, but Oscar was in a very good mood that day. He

kissed Amelia on her lips again and said, “Take some time off, and maybe we should have our

honeymoon in Baxrich.”

Amelia leaned on his chin and was amused. “It’s not like it’s our first time getting married. Others are

going to make fun of us if we were to have another honeymoon.”

“Why would they? I bet they’re going to be so jealous of me because I’ve landed a beauty once again!”

Oscar boasted.

At that moment, Amelia could tell that Oscar was over the moon.

“I’ve already talked to Mom about it, and she’s going to personally plan our wedding ceremony. I want

everyone to know that I’m taken!” Oscar said.

“Don’t, Oscar. Since we’ve already done that once, I don’t think we should do it again. Not only is it

troubling, but the media is also going to judge us. All I want now is to live a peaceful life, and I have no

interest in extravagance anymore. Can you promise me you won’t hold a wedding ceremony?” Amelia

raised her gaze toward Oscar and asked with sincerity.

“Are you sure?”

Amelia shook her head in response.

“All right, then. We won’t have a wedding ceremony.”

Hearing that, Amelia broke into a smile. “Let’s head home, shall we? I’ll cook you a nice meal to

celebrate our remarriage.”

“Sure!”

Despite being denied a wedding ceremony, Oscar was still in high spirits. When he went to the office

the next day, he told three of his bodyguards to bring candies and gifts to the office so that they could

distribute them among the employees. Besides, Oscar told them to announce his remarriage to Amelia

to everyone in the office. The bodyguards said, “Boss is now a married man, and he’s overjoyed.

Hence, he’d like to treat everyone to a dinner at a five-star restaurant after work.”

All the employees were in shock when they received the news. As everyone was talking about it in the

office, Isabella soon received the news as well.

When the other employees were discussing it among themselves excitedly, Isabella, who was in

disbelief, glared at them and scolded, “What nonsense are you guys talking about?”

Although the other employees were wary of Isabella’s status and identity, they never liked her because

she was cocky. As they were happy to hear about Oscar and Amelia’s remarriage, they were also

gloating at Isabella’s misfortune.

“Ms. Walker, we were told by Mr. Clinton personally, and he’d even gotten his bodyguards to send us

wedding favors and gifts. Besides, we were also told that there will be a fest for us after work. Since

we’re all happy to hear about Mr. Clinton’s remarriage, can’t you just be happy for him as well?” one of

the female employees plucked up her courage and asked.

Hearing that, Isabella’s expression changed drastically. She then immediately walked away in her high

heels. Due to her hurriedness, she’d almost slipped and fell down when she was entering the elevator.

With her sprained ankle, she entered the elevator with teary eyes. At that moment, she was on the

verge of crying.

She then raised her head and held back her tears. I mustn’t show my vulnerability. However, I’ve just

been utterly humiliated by all my colleagues at Clinton Corporations. Oscar knows how much I like him,

and yet, he’d showed me no respect!

Isabella got out of the elevator and stomped toward Oscar’s office. Immediately, two of his secretaries

went up to her and said, “Ms. Walker, Mr. Clinton isn’t in. May we know what you are here for?”

Isabella glared at them and fumed, “Get out of my way! Otherwise, don’t blame me for not treating you

like my colleagues.”

“Ms. Walker, please don’t make our lives difficult. If you haven’t made an appointment with Mr. Clinton,

there’s no way we’re letting you in,” the secretaries answered anxiously. They didn’t want to end up like

Linda. Since Clinton Corporations paid well and gave a ton of benefits, only a fool would want to leave.

Despite what she heard, Isabella shoved the secretaries aside and barged into Oscar’s office.

Seeing that, the secretaries explained themselves instantly, “Mr. Clinton, we’ve tried to stop her. It

seems like Ms. Walker has something urgent to tell you, so she ignored us and barged in. We’re sorry.”

Isabella couldn’t be bothered at this point. She uttered, “Oscar, I heard them saying that you’ve

reconciled with Amelia. Is that true?”

In response, Oscar merely threw her a casual glance. Perhaps it was because of his remarriage, but he

wasn’t as cold and heartless as usual.

He then waved at the secretaries and said, “You two may leave.”

“Yes, Mr. Clinton.” The secretaries felt relieved and closed the door after they left.

Oscar then whipped out a cigar, but he didn’t light it up.

In a calm tone, he asked, “I’ve gotten remarried with Amelia. However, what does that have to do with

you?”

Isabella looked at him with hurt in her eyes. “But Oscar, everyone in the company knows I’ve been after

you. Besides, everyone in the high society knows we’re getting engaged soon. What am I going to do

now that you’ve remarried?”

“How is that my problem?” Oscar asked nonchalantly.

Isabella was so anxious and angry that she almost lost her basic sanity. “But everyone knows I love

you! How am I supposed to show my face after what you’ve done?”

“Your face? What does that have to do with me?” Oscar’s face darkened, and he stood up abruptly.

“Since I’ve only gotten remarried, I’m going to let you get away with your stupidity. Get back to work at

this instant! Otherwise, Clinton Corporations is not going to let a lazy employee like you stay in the

company.”

Hearing that, Isabella’s face flushed red with fury.

Finally, she broke into tears and yelled in devastation, “How could you get remarried? Mrs. Clinton told

me herself that I could marry into the Clintons! Since I’ve been by your side for over two years now, I

don’t believe that you still don’t have any feelings for me! I don’t believe that!”

Indeed, having self-confidence is commendable, but when she overdid it, she became despicable.

“Are you done? Get out!” Oscar had ordered her to leave. “Even without Amelia in the picture, I still

wouldn’t fall for a woman as dense as you! Although you have the looks, you’re still a stupid woman in

my eyes.”

Upon hearing that, Isabella sobbed pitifully. “I’m going to look for Mrs. Clinton to clarify this! She’d

already made me a promise! I don’t want to get messed around by her.” Isabella held her head high

and left arrogantly. Despite being humiliated by Oscar, she refused to let him see her feeling inferior.

Oscar merely glanced at her before getting back to his work. I have no reason to waste my breath on a

stupid woman like Isabella.

Isabella left Clinton Corporations under gloating stares from the others. At that moment, she was

fuming with rage, and it seemed like she was about to erupt in anger.

As the Clintons were playing her like a fiddle, those who were watching were just enjoying the show.

None of them cared how she felt.

Isabella was utterly dissatisfied. These people are such bullies! I’m a daughter of Walker Group. While

everyone else is trying to butter me up, the Clintons have played me like a fool! I mustn’t let this slide.

Otherwise, how am I supposed to look at myself in the mirror?
