Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 874 The Encounter

“Don’t overthink it, Isabella. I saw the video a year ago. If I were angry, I wouldn’t have agreed to marry you. Don’t worry about it. I’ll deal with it properly,” Oscar said on the other end of the line.

It was then Isabella became at ease. “Thank you for believing me, Oscar. I love you, and I never was and would never be unfaithful to you,” she said in order to win his sympathy.

“I know. Be good and rest at home. Don’t come to the office for now; come back only when the topic dies down,” he uttered in a gentle voice.

Isabella mulled over his words and agreed in the end.

After ending the call, she beamed with bliss, under the impression that Oscar was truly in love with her. Unbeknownst to her, the man had a cold countenance as he stared at his phone.

“Boss, do you want me to delete the video?” a beautiful woman asked solemnly.

Oscar put down his phone and shook his head.

“We’re in no hurry. Let it trend on the internet for a while longer. Have you made any progress on the IP address I asked you to track?” he calmly inquired.

The woman gave him a confused look, for she could not figure out what was on his mind at that moment.

Technically, Isabella was his fiancée, and the video trending on the internet would ruin her reputation, as well as Clinton Corporations’. Yet, instead of removing the video and countering the scandal immediately, he wanted to add fuel to the fire by letting the video gain more exposure.

It’s getting harder and harder to figure out Boss’ thoughts.

“What’s wrong? Do you find my actions strange?” Oscar asked, arching a brow.

The woman quickly lowered her head and said with a tint of panic, “No, Boss, that isn’t what I’m thinking about.”

Still, he only spared her another glance before waving his hand at her to dismiss her.

The woman could only heed his order.

In the meantime, Isabella waited at home for the video to be deleted. However, not only was it not removed, but the situation was also worsening. In fact, photos of her partying in bars and being intimate with foreign men overseas in the past were emerging on the internet. The netizens took in all the information like ants to sugar. Every one of them was more than delighted to hurl terrible comments at her from behind their screens. Some even felt indignant on behalf of Oscar, stating that the woman he was about to marry was not a daughter from a prestigious family but a promiscuous woman who would take any man.

One video and various photos were enough to stir up an uproar on the internet.
