Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 598

Chapter 598 Do You Not Like Me

James threw himself fully into the matter of rescuing Spencer. At the same time, Oscar had also arranged for an investigation to look into who was behind poisoning Spencer. Kurt and his men followed the leads and found out that it was done by a foreigner who had entered Chanaea using a fake ID card and had left the country immediately after completing his mission. His departure had effectively cut off all leads that might reveal what his true identity was.

“Carry on with the investigation,” Oscar commanded.

“But Boss, he was traveling on a fake ID card and has already left Chanaea. There are so many countries in the world that he can choose to go to. Even if we expend a huge amount of financial and human resources, there’s no guarantee we’ll be able to track him down,” one of the guards said boldly.

Oscar seemed to be in deep thought.

“Keep an eye on that man named June. I want his every move to be reported to me,” he instructed.

The same guard spoke up. “Boss, unfortunately, that man named June has flown back to his home country yesterday. We have no idea why he left.”

Oscar narrowed his eyes. June seemed to be acting fast. He probably had a hand in this matter, but it would be hard to pin him down now that he was out of the country. He had returned to his own territory where the Adertons were an old and powerful family with connections in every stratum of the society. Even the government was deferential toward them. If the Clintons were the local tyrants of this city, the Adertons could be considered the local tyrants over there.

There was no way he could just send his men over to capture June and bring him back.

Even if June were to return to Chanaea, he would have been fully prepared. It would not be easy to catch him. “You may go now.”

“Yes, Boss.”

As soon as everyone else had left, Amelia entered the room holding a cup of hot milk.

As Oscar looked at her, his previously hardened expression instantly started to appear softer and more tender.

“Have some milk,” Amelia said gently while offering the cup to him.

Oscar took the cup and drank a big gulp. It was not too cloyingly sweet, which was just the way he liked it.

He put down the cup and pulled Amelia into his arms, rubbing his chin on the top of her head.

Feeling tickled, Amelia tried to struggle free but gave in after a few seconds and settled into his embrace like a little kitten. “What’s the matter? Is something bothering you?”

“I’m sorry I didn’t manage to capture the person who harmed Spencer,” Oscar said in a low voice while licking her earlobe.

Amelia patted his chest lightly. “You’re feeling vexed because of this? This doesn’t sound like you at all.”

“It pains my heart to see you toss and turn in bed and lose sleep over this every night. I want to capture the mastermind so that your mind can be set at ease.”
