Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 698 Estranged

She gripped her glass tightly as annoyance rose in her heart.

Stephanie and Noah then walked over to the group as well. Stephanie nodded politely to her older brother. “You look handsome today, Oscar.”

All Oscar did was to nod in response.

Stephanie bit her lip, but Noah looked at Amelia gently. “Just call for the waiters if you would like to have something to eat, Amelia. Please, make yourself at home. I’m sure that Oscar will take good care of you.”

Amelia nodded. “Got it.”

Suddenly, a commotion erupted near the entrance. Amelia turned and looked in the direction of where the sound was coming from, only to notice that June, Jennifer, and Carter appeared at the same time.

Jennifer was holding June’s hand as they walked toward Carol and Matthew, who had already exited the stage. They gave the older couple a fancy gift and chatted with them politely before walking over to where Amelia and the others were.

As Amelia stared at Jennifer and June walking hand-in-hand, she could not help but find it weird.

“It’s been a while, Amelia. How have you been?” June asked politely. “I have been caught up with a lot of bothersome matters recently. That’s why it’s been so long since I’ve gone to look for you.”

Oscar possessively wrapped an arm around Amelia’s waist as he replied, “Your video with Ms. Larson is still circulating the internet. Both of you have become quite famous in Tayhaven, and yet you still dare to attend such a big event like this. Aren’t you afraid of getting embarrassed again?”

Jennifer’s expression darkened at Oscar’s words.

“However, I find that both of you are a perfect match for each other. Not only are you two the stars of that tape, both of you even dared to appear at the event holding hands. I guess the universe is really trying to matchmake the both of you,” Oscar continued. “Both you and Jennifer can produce similar tapes to upload online for the world to enjoy. I think that Ms. Larson’s status will definitely attract the attention of men who are trying to climb up the social ladder. It’s not every day you can catch a glimpse of the body of the Larsons’ daughter.”

As soon as Oscar’s words fell, Jennifer’s face was as dark as thunder.
