Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 832 Targeting Tony

When Amelia and Oscar came back, they instantly saw both Kurt and Derrick were injured. Amelia couldn’t help but frown and ask Derrick, “What’s the meaning of this, Derrick?”

Derrick gently touched his swollen lips and said, “I wanted to meet Tiff, but your bodyguard was too uncompromising. We had an argument which escalated to a fight, resulting in this.”

“If I didn’t remember wrongly, you have already divorced Tiff, Derrick. You even brought Crystal and your mother to City Hall to humiliate her, so don’t try to put up an act in front of us now. Are you regretting your decision and seeking to get back together with Tiff again?” Amelia had her arms folded across her chest defensively as she questioned him.

Derrick frowned and solemnly said, “I really didn’t mean to make things difficult for Tiff at City Hall.”

“Whatever! Anyway, you and Tiff are divorced, so you should just stay with Crystal and focus on taking care of her and your unborn baby. As for Tiff, we’ll take good care of her. We’ll also help introduce good men to her. Many rich guys would be more than happy to marry a woman like her, unlike you ungrateful Hissons.” Amelia waved him off.

Derrick’s expression darkened, and he hissed, “I thought we are friends, Amelia.”

“Were. We used to be, but we’re no longer friends now,” Amelia retorted.

Derrick’s face fell, but he brushed off her retort. “I’m not here to pick a quarrel with you, Amelia. I just want to meet Tiff,” he said.

Crossing her arms, Amelia replied, “Leave now if you know what’s good for you, Derrick. Tiff is no longer related to you, so this harassment is not going to do anyone any good. She’s not your responsibility anymore.”

Derrick took a deep breath and reminded himself not to blow up. He had to suppress his impulsive desires, for if he didn’t, he was sure Oscar would step in to make sure he would never get to see Tiffany ever again.

“I’ll head home then. Please take good care of Tiff. I’ll be back to see her again,” Derrick despondently said.

Amelia was about to say something sarcastic to him, but seeing how dispirited he was, she held her tongue and spoke no further.

After Derrick left, she turned to Kurt in concern and asked about his injuries.

“I’m fine, so don’t worry,” Kurt assured.

Despite his insistence that he was fine, Amelia still went upstairs to get the medical kit for him.

Kurt dressed his wounds, then took leave and wisely made himself scarce.

Amelia initially wanted to ask him to stay for dinner, but she changed her mind after she caught sight of Oscar and remembered he was with her.

After Kurt left, Amelia frowned and asked, “Oscar, is there a way to stop Derrick from harassing Tiff?”

“Sure! Get rid of him, and he’ll never be able to appear again. Alternatively, we can go after his business. He won’t have time for love if he’s busy fire-fighting to salvage his company,” Oscar said solemnly without batting an eyelid.

Amelia thought about his suggestions and decided they were not feasible.

“Forget it! I’ll have a talk with Tiff and see what she says. Oh gosh! How did things get so messy?” She sounded really frustrated.

Oscar’s eyes dimmed, and he went over to console her. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure he won’t have time to come and bother Tiffany anymore,” he reassured.

Amelia contemplated for a moment, then looked him in the eyes and said, “Don’t get involved in this, Oscar. I think Tiff is the best person to handle this. You can stop him for a period of time, but you can’t keep him away forever. Tiff and Derrick have to come to an agreement between themselves and settle it once and for all. Otherwise, even after his child is born, he and his family will still be a bother to Tiff. I really should have stopped Tiff from getting together with him in the beginning.”

Oscar went into a pensive mood and appeared to be thinking about how to deal with Derrick.
