Too Much to Bear My Love

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 place?”

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 play 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 explained with a wicked smile.

“Boss, do you mean they will turn against each other?” Hugo asked.

Oscar nodded and gave him an approving glance.

“Boss, your wisdom is unrivaled,” Hugo praised.



“That’s enough. I don’t want your flattery. 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 workplace.

He saw Amelia coming 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.

Amelia laughed and turned around to see Oscar approaching her.

“Mr. Clinton, I shall now return your wife to you. There was a plagiarization 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 glanced 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 your company. 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 your company’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 the company,” Oscar explained 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 outcome 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 in-laws. 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 glanced at her but said nothing. He considered the blueprints theft incident resolved.

Soon, they arrived home and saw a woman with long straight hair playing with Tony. Amelia and Oscar

exchanged glances. 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 busy lately and could not find time to follow up on Eva’s progress. It turned out to be

better than Amelia imagined.



Eva fluttered her lashes playfully 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 ninety-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 uncomfortable

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 become 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 gorgeous lady. 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 have completed 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 glanced at her and replied diabolically, “You are much more ladylike 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 glared 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 a comparison 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 plate of cut fruits. “Eva, come and have some fruits.”

“When are you planning 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 and comforted, “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

relationship doesn’t sustain on appearance alone. It also depends on the compatibility 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.
