Too Much to Bear, My Love - Season 1 Episode 72

Halfway through the meal, Amelia excused herself to go to the washroom.

She exited the room and took a deep breath before leaving for the washroom.

Amelia was washing her hands when the door was suddenly pushed open. It was Jennifer.

Her high heels clicked on the floor as she walked over. Jennifer said coldly, “Carter spoke up for you during dinner. Are you proud of yourself now?”

Amelia turned around and replied, “Ms. Larson, I think you’re mistaken. Mr. Scott is only a friend. He just takes more care of me because we’ve already known each other for a very long time. If you like him, you can go confess, but don’t drag me into it. I don’t want my husband to hear any weird rumors.”

Jennifer folded her arms. “As long as you don’t try to seduce him, he’ll fall in love with me someday.”

Amelia forced a smile. “Mr. Scott is a grown man. He knows what he wants for himself. It’s not something we can decide for him. I’ll say it again. I already have a husband. I’m not interested in seducing anyone else.”

“So are you not going to resign anymore?”

“I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I resign?”

“Fine, don’t resign then. You better make sure I don’t find out any dirt about you, or else, I’ll make the Clintons kick you out of their family. I’m sure the Scotts will also be on my side.”

“Whatever.”

Amelia shrugged. What’s important between two people is that they understand each other. Otherwise, they’re just wasting their breaths. Just like how this conversation is going.

“If there’s nothing else, Ms. Larson, I’ll leave first.”

“Stop there!”

Amelia rolled her eyes in exasperation and asked, “What now?”

“Stay away from Carter. He’s mine.”

Amelia lowered her head and replied, “Mr. Scott and I are merely platonic friends. Don’t blame me for whatever is happening between you two. Tie him up and keep him for yourself if you can. Otherwise, he’s my boss, so I definitely will continue interacting with him.”

Amelia then left the washroom without looking back.

Jennifer stared at herself in the mirror and said angrily, “Amelia, just wait and see. One day, I’ll destroy your entire life.”

Jennifer then gave someone a call. When the other person picked up, she said, “Loren? Get someone to track a person for me. I’ll send you the details via email. I need pictures of her acting intimately with other men.”

Carter glanced at Amelia subconsciously, then denied it. “This has nothing to do with Amelia.”

“If it has nothing to do with her, then tell me, what did I do wrong? I’ve been getting along well with everyone else since I joined your company. No one has complained about me at all. If you’re going to fire me without giving me a reason, I’ll go tell Mrs. Scott.”

Carter pressed his lips together.

Just then, Amelia pointed outside the window and said, “Mr. Scott, you can let me off here. I need to go buy something. I’ll go back to the company myself later.”

Carter stopped the car and asked, “What do you want to buy? I’ll go with you.”

“It’s fine. You can send Ms. Larson back first. I’ll head back by myself later,” said Amelia as she unbuckled her seatbelt.

Carter then unfastened his seatbelt and said, “I’ll just go with you. You’re pregnant, so if there’s something heavy, I can help you carry it.”

He then turned to Jennifer. “Jennifer, drive the car back first. I’ll take a cab with Amelia later.”

Jennifer was furious. “Carter, don’t cross the line. Back then, it was the Scotts who requested a marriage of convenience with the Larsons. If your mother hadn’t said that you had no partner, my family would never have rushed back from overseas, and I wouldn’t be here lowering myself for you right now.”

Carter replied, “Since it was my family who said it, you can go marry them. I’ve never said such a thing.”

He then got off the car. Amelia, who had already alighted, shook her head at them. Jennifer was too irrational. Although she was very capable at work, her emotional intelligence was close to zero. She was acting as if she were Carter’s girlfriend even though they had no relationship. She tries to control everything around Carter and even gets unreasonably jealous. No man would be able to stand such a domineering woman.

If a man loves a woman, he would love even the bad parts about her. However, if he doesn’t love her, regardless of how good her personality was, he would always find something to dislike.

Jennifer then rushed out of the car and stood in front of Carter. “What do you mean by this? Don’t forget that our parents have already agreed on our engagement and will spread the news soon. Now, you’re telling me to go marry your parents. What are you trying to say?”

Carter moved to block Amelia from Jennifer’s view, then replied coldly, “What engagement? Why haven’t I heard of it?”

Jennifer’s eyes flicked in anger. Carter continued, “Jennifer, I only treat you as my younger sister. I’m okay with being your friend, but I’ll never marry you.”

Jennifer looked upset. “Carter, do you really hate me so much?”

Carter frowned. His frustrations had long been growing, but since he was in public, he endured his anger and said, “Jennifer, let’s talk about it when we get back.”

However, Jennifer was stubborn. “I want an answer today. Tell me. Are you breaking off our engagement because of this woman?”

When she said that, the onlookers looked at Amelia weirdly.

Carter frowned. “Jennifer, this is our problem, don’t drag innocent people in. Amelia and I are just friends. Even without her, I’d never fall for you. You’re pretty, have a good family and education, and you’re very good at work. I’m sure many other men are interested in you. Stop bothering me. Otherwise, we can’t even be friends.”
