Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 560 A Deserter

The next day, Amelia brought Eva to make an apology in person. The young woman that the latter beat up was only a little over twenty years old. Although she was a little arrogant, she became as meek as a lamb after her parents reprimanded her and reluctantly accepted Eva’s apology.

“You’re Mrs. Clinton, aren’t you?” the young woman’s father asked with an ingratiating smile as he walked toward Amelia. Then, he continued, “I’m the chairman of Lightning Cloud Technology. I had the honor of attending the Clintons’ party the other day and seeing you and Mr. Clinton there. The two of you are really a match made in heaven. I could only see you from afar that day, but you’re truly more beautiful now that I’m seeing you at a close distance. My daughter is impudent and failed to recognize Eva as your cousin. I’ll make sure to teach her a lesson when I get home.”

“Dad, how can you side with an outsider? She’s the one who—”

Before the young woman could finish her sentence, she was cut short by her father’s glare. After that, he said apologetically, “Mrs. Clinton, I’m sorry about that. Her mom and I have overindulged her. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Amelia shook her head. “Your daughter’s pretty adorable. My cousin is at fault, too, which is why I brought her here to apologize to your daughter.”

“Please don’t say that, Mrs. Clinton. My daughter’s too spoiled. I hope you won’t take offense.”

After an exchange of pleasantries, Amelia left with Eva.

As soon as they got into the car, Eva made a face in disdain. “I thought they’d be all high and mighty, but they turned out to be a bunch of cowards! When I was in the police station, that fat man pointed at me and swore to put me in jail. Yet, the moment he finds out I’m your cousin, his attitude took a one-eighty! Such a sordid businessman, so full of schemes. He’s just like a sycophant.”

“Eva,” Amelia called out in a warning tone.

“Amelia, am I wrong?” Eva responded indifferently as she shrugged.

“No. You’re right. But sometimes you don’t have to state the obvious, especially not with such unpleasant words. It’s better to forgive and forget. Who knows? You may cross paths with them again one day. Besides, you still haven’t told me why you got into a fight with her in the first place. Can you tell me now?” Amelia asked, bringing up the topic again.

“Didn’t I tell you? She’s after James too! She’s also too arrogant that I couldn’t stand it, so I hit her. Someone ought to knock some sense into her, especially when she’s such a spoiled and supercilious rich brat. I’m just doing her parents a favor! Amelia, you’re not trying to criticize me because of an outsider, are you?” Eva paused for a while as she looked at Amelia. After that, she continued, “I can’t accept it if that’s the case! You clearly saw how she behaved. I’m already making concessions by following you there and apologizing to her. If you continue to criticize me, I won’t talk to you again! I’ve never met someone like you who sides with an outsider instead of your family.”
