Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 890 The Worst Punishment

Matthew and Carol got really mad when they heard that Noah had been hurt. After instructing their maids to take good care of Noah, the two of them headed straight to the Clinton residence.

Oscar has gone too far! Not only did he break Isabella’s arms and legs, but he also broke one of Noah’s ribs! We can’t just sit around and do nothing about this! No one walks all over the Walkers!

Upon arriving at the Clinton residence, however, Matthew and Carol were stopped by the security guard outside the front gate. They tried calling Stephanie as they knew she was home, but she declined their call without even answering the phone.

They tried calling her again, only to realize she had switched off her phone. Carol was so furious when she heard the automated message that she nearly smashed the phone on the ground. It was at this moment that she realized the Clintons meant business.

In its current state, the Walker family is no match for the Clinton family at all. Noah has been keeping Walker Group up and running all by himself throughout the past few years. All Matthew did was give him a bit of guidance and advice every now and then, so he can’t possibly take charge of the company. Now that Noah is injured, Walker Group is bound to fall apart. Oscar sure is a cunning one, going straight for our weak spot like that. No, I can’t let him have his way! I still want to enjoy a life of luxury! What should I do? Hmm… Oh, I know! I’ll go to the police! The Clinton family may be powerful and all, but the police will surely do something about them!

With that in mind, Carol called the police and told them everything that had happened.

To her surprise, the police officer on the phone replied, “I’m sorry, but we don’t handle cases involving the Clinton family.”

The police officer hung up the phone immediately after.

Carol paled. What? The Clintons managed to get the police to turn a blind eye to their affairs? This is unbelievable!

“What’s wrong? You don’t look so good,” Matthew said.

“What do you think? Oscar has already spoken to the police ahead of time, so they won’t entertain us even if we make a police report! Hmph! I’ll figure out a way to sue him!” Carol retorted.

Matthew grabbed her by the arm and shook his head.

“Right now, we need to focus on getting Oscar to forgive us. Even if we succeed at making a police report, it’ll just worsen the conflict between both our families. In the end, it will still be us that receive the short end of the stick. Stephanie is our only hope of turning the tide around. As heartless as Olivia might be, she wouldn’t hurt Stephanie and Nolan.”

Carol got even angrier when she heard that.

“Are you seriously still hoping for Stephanie to help us out? She wouldn’t even answer my calls anymore! I bet Olivia forced her to divorce Noah and cut ties with our family!” Having spent a lot of time around Stephanie, Carol was all too familiar with her personality. She knew Stephanie was the type who would only take the side of those who would benefit her. Given the state of the Walker family, it made more sense to assume Stephanie would leave them at the first chance she got.

Matthew, too, was familiar with Stephanie’s behavior. He could only hope the Clinton family would take into consideration that Stephanie was married to Noah and have mercy on the Walker family. With both Isabella and Noah hospitalized and the police turning a blind eye to this case, he knew the Clinton family was a lot more powerful than he had imagined.

The Walker family wouldn’t stand a chance against the Clinton family unless Stephanie got herself involved.

Meanwhile, at the Clinton residence, Stephanie was like a cat on a hot tin roof.

“Give Nolan back to me, Mom! Also, it’s not appropriate for me to keep ignoring my mother-in-law’s phone calls!” she exclaimed with a conflicted look on her face.

Olivia had one of the maids bring Nolan upstairs before turning to face Stephanie.

“I’ve spoiled you way too much in the past, Stephanie. You stepped out of line on many occasions, but I chose to turn a blind eye each time. I can’t believe you’d go as far as betraying your brother. Now that Oscar has finally recovered, I need to put a stop to your shenanigans.”
