Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 852 Successful Hypnosis

While Kurt and Hugo were in hot pursuit of Oscar, Jolin gave Amelia a call to update her.

No sooner had Amelia dashed out while still being on the line than Jolin stopped her car right in front and opened the door.

Upon getting in, Amelia asked, “Jolin, did Oscar really drive Isabella away?”

“Mrs. Clinton, that's what everyone saw. Something must have happened for Isabella to leave with Boss in the middle of the night. Tonight is the key. If she manages to escape, I'm afraid tomorrow... Don't worry just yet. Hugo and Kurt are on their tail. I'm confident that they'll find Boss,” Jolin said, knowing Amelia's concerns.

If Oscar weren't located that night, he might not be able to recognize her and Tony anymore.

The situation was truly ironic. Even though they spent most of the time together, Oscar was still taken away from her right under her nose.

Throwing Amelia a glance, Jolin reassured her, “Don't worry, Mrs. Clinton. We'll definitely rescue Boss. As someone who controls Clinton Corporations and leads a myriad of other organizations, he won't be easily manipulated by Isabella.”

Amelia let out a wry laugh. “Jolin, if Oscar no longer knows who I am and insists on a divorce, I hope you'll take good care of him. Whenever he's caught up with work, remind him to have regular meals or his gastric pain would act up. Even though I know that someone will replace me by his side, I'm still worried about him being too engrossed with work and stressed out when he sleeps. Anyway, please keep an eye on him for me. He may look strong on the outside but is actually fragile inside. Since fate has forced us to become strangers, there's little I can do. But one day, I'll return stronger and take him back. I'll never abandon him. Take care of him while I'm gone.”

Feeling a squeeze in her heart, Jolin floored the accelerator as they sped out of the mansion. When the guard at the door saw so many cars leaving in a short time, he decided to report it to Olivia.

On the road, Jolin said, “Mrs. Clinton, don't let your pessimism get the better of yourself. Someone as kind as Boss will never forget you. Tomorrow, he'll be back, and all this might be nothing but a prank of his.”

Shaking her head, Amelia replied softly, “He will never fool around with our relationship. He can't bear to see me sad.” When he looked at me as if I was a stranger and threw my hand aside, I knew in that instant he no longer remembers who I am.

As of then, she was worried about the kind of black magic Isabella seemed to have cast upon Oscar, as there was still plenty she didn't know about.

Right then, Jolin's phone rang, and Kurt's voice rang out after she answered the phone. “We have lost track of Boss. How is Amelia doing? You didn't tell her that Isabella left with Boss, did you?”

The question caused Jolin to glance at Amelia. “Mrs. Clinton is right beside me.”

After a brief silence, Kurt asked, “Is she doing okay?”

“Yes. Where are you now? I'll meet up with you guys,” Jolin replied.

Kurt provided an address.

“All right. We'll be there in half an hour.” Upon ending the call, Jolin racked her brain on how to break the news to Amelia.

However, Amelia preempted her. “Did they lose them?”

Jolin nodded but quickly added, “Don't worry, Mrs. Clinton. We'll figure out another way to locate Boss.”

Amelia changed the topic. “Didn't you mention meeting up with them? Let's go.”

Jolin gave her a concerned look.

Amelia decided to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep.

Seeing that, Jolin drove both of them to the agreed meeting point to reunite with Hugo and Kurt.

The moment she alighted and only saw two of them, she asked, “Where are the rest?”

“They're still giving chase,” Hugo answered.

Kurt's eyes fell upon Amelia. She swiftly averted his gaze as she said, “Let's go back. There's no way we can catch up given how fast Oscar drives. Let's take a break. I'm sure everyone is exhausted by now.”

When she walked toward the car, Kurt grabbed her hand by reflex.

Turning her head around, Amelia looked at his hand that was on hers before looking up at him. “Kurt, what's wrong?”

He gave her a thoughtful look, and his eyes failed to hide his concern for her. “Amelia, are you really all right? Don't worry. I have dirt on Isabella. If she dares to get close to Boss, I'll expose all of it. The resulting backlash online will prevent her from ever joining the Clinton family.”

Amelia laughed bitterly. “Kurt, you don't think that Oscar loves me anymore too, do you?”

Tightening his grip on her hand, Kurt frantically clarified, “Amelia, I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. I was just trying to say that you're the only person Boss cares about and Isabella is nothing to him. You shouldn't let your thoughts get carried away.”

“Kurt, thank you for your concern. I understand you mean well. It's just that you're bad at consoling others. You can't be so clumsy with your words when you get a girlfriend next time.”

Kurt opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but no words escaped his lips.

Hugo patted Kurt on his shoulder, cueing him to let Amelia's hand go. At the end of the day, it would be inappropriate for him to cross the line in their relationship as employer and employee.

Kurt released her reluctantly.

Expressionlessly, Amelia said, “Let's go.”

Left without a choice, Jolin drove Amelia back. However, Amelia got her to stop the car when they were half a kilometer away from the Clinton residence.
