Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 870 A Fight

That night, Amelia put on a low-cut red gown and tied her hair into a bun. She went to the charity gala together with Tiffany and Kurt.

When they arrived, almost half of the guests turned their attention to them. Admiration flashed across the men's gazes. Those who recognized Amelia didn't bother hiding their surprise.

A year ago, Oscar announced that he had gotten a divorce from Amelia. The Walker family's eldest daughter, Isabella, then showed up by his side. As part of the upper-class society, they knew some couples acted all lovey-dovey but hid the fact that their marriages weren't harmonious at all. Thus, they weren't surprised to hear that Oscar got married or even got a divorce. Nevertheless, everyone was curious about where Amelia went. After the divorce was announced, she seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Now that she had shown up at the charity gala dressed in a sexy red gown, everyone had the urge to gossip. They wanted to know how she would deal with Oscar and Isabella when the couple showed up later.

The crowd grew excited as they looked forward to watching a good show tonight.

Some guests who didn't know about Amelia noticed how gorgeous and elegant she was. They started asking who she was.

While those who knew what happened explained that Amelia was the ex-wife of the heir of Clinton Corporations. They got married and divorced twice, so their relationship was rather complicated. Alas, they went their separate ways.

The guest who wasn't in the know got curious. “Ms. Walker is all right, but she isn't as charming as this ex-wife. I wonder what Mr. Clinton was thinking. How could he dump his gorgeous wife and went after an obviously ill-tempered socialite?”

The other guest snorted. “Perhaps he got bored and wanted a change. That's the people in the upper-class society for you. Many couples might look loving but they are faking it. Maybe we can get to see how she gets Mr. Clinton back later. Life has been boring lately. I think it's interesting that we get to gossip about them. Just relax. Don't worry about the gorgeous lady. It isn't your place to worry about her.”

The guest who didn't know anything grinned and sipped on his champagne. However, he kept looking at Amelia from the corner of his eye, thinking that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.

Tiffany inched nearer to Amelia and chuckled. “Amelia, all eyes are on you tonight.”

Amelia's lips curled into a smile that didn't reach her eyes. She quickly scanned the crowd in the hall to discover that Oscar had yet to arrive.

She was both delighted and nervous to meet him later. In fact, she was scared of seeing something that might upset her.

When her gaze landed on Oscar and Isabella who came in together, she was no longer afraid and gazed fervently at Oscar, whose expression was sterner after a year of not seeing each other.

As if sensing her gaze, Oscar turned over his shoulder and glanced at her. An unfathomable glint flashed across his eye.

Isabella sensed Oscar's change and looked in the direction he was looking too. Her eyes narrowed in surprise at the sight that greeted her. At once, she raised her hand and held Oscar's arm in a possessive manner.

“Oscar, let's meet Mr. Ferguson now. He sent his men to invite you personally, so you should meet him,” Isabella said softly.

Oscar looked away and gave her a nod.

Isabella's eyes crinkled in laughter as she went to Wilbur with Oscar. When the latter wasn't paying attention. she shot Amelia's direction a displeased look as fear rose in her heart. Why did Amelia return to the country after one year of living abroad?

Beside Amelia, Tiffany glared at Isabella.

“I don't think Isabella has changed much. She is only good at using tricks,” Tiffany sneered.

Amelia merely pursed her lips.

“Tiff, don't forget how she used those tricks to steal Oscar from me. I think Oscar has lost some weight. I wonder if he got so busy with work and didn't eat on time,” Amelia replied worriedly. When she remembered that Kurt was still with her, she hid the look of concern and looked elsewhere.

Tiffany's lips twitched, for she didn't think it was a big deal. Oscar was an adult who was perfectly capable of taking care of himself. It was Amelia who got too worried and treated Oscar like a son. That was why she purposely ignored the intimacy between Oscar and Isabella.

Does she really not care? Or is she merely pretending to be tough before me?
