Too Much to Bear My Love

Simply put, Oscar was not going to divorce Amelia anytime soon. Cassie could only bear with it for the

time being. On top of that, nothing was certain in the future.

His answer was very ambiguous.

Elizabeth became increasingly upset.

“Oscar, Cassie aborted the child because of you. But it looks like you won’t lose anything since you have

both a wife and a child soon. Is Cassie just one of your little playthings?” asked Elizabeth with a sneer.

Oscar frowned.

“Mrs. Yard, Oscar’s not an ungrateful person. He’s always been trying to find a balance in this love

triangle. Ms. Yard gave up previously then decided to interfere in our relationship again, so she inevitably

became a mistress. I’m the one who has been hurt the most all this time. When it comes to giving

criticisms, I think I should be the one to do it.”

Although Amelia had spoken calmly and had kept on a straight face, you could hear the seriousness in

her words.

Elizabeth was stunned. Indeed, her daughter was the one in the wrong. Not considering when she jilted

Oscar four or five years ago, she was still a mistress this time, imposing on their marriage.

“Ms. Yard has always presented herself as the victim, but I’m the person who actually has been hurt the

most in the whole fiesta. I have no idea why you think you can simply criticize Oscar like that and order

me to get a divorce. I just want the best for my child and me. Am I doing anything wrong?”

Amelia’s words were starting to become aggressive.

The facial expressions on Mrs. Yard had changed by now.

Oscar hugged Amelia possessively and said, “I’ll take Amelia to get some food first. I’ll be back at night.”

Although Elizabeth still looked unhappy, she still nodded.

As she watched them leave, Elizabeth glowered. She gritted her teeth and retrieved her phone to make a

call. When the call connected, she said, “Mr. Hisson, have you decided whether or not to terminate the

contract with Tiffany?”

After the person on the other end replied, she continued, “She’s just a best-selling author. Your company

is big. I’m sure there are many more authors like her under your management. As long as you agree to

terminate the contract, Yard Group will invest in your project. All you have to do is to lose an author and

win the support of Yard Group. You’re a smart man. I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you if it’s worth it.”

After the other party responded, Elizabeth became upset. “Are you looking down on Yard Group?

Although we’re not the best, we’re not weak either. I hope you’ll consider this carefully. Don’t lose out just

because of an insignificant author.”

Another response later, Elizabeth remained unhappy. “You seem to be asking for a lot, don’t you think?”

Another pause later, she replied, “I’ve always thought you were a smart man. I didn’t expect that you

would give up on your own interests just for an author. Are you sure your company’s not actually a

charitable organization?”

The person spoke again before Elizabeth said, “I advise you not to be so impulsive. If you offend the

Yards, your company won’t go away unscathed. Is it really worth doing this?”

The person on the line spoke for a long time. Then, Elizabeth’s expression brightened up. She smiled

and replied, “You’re a smart man indeed. As long as you give up on Tiffany, providing you with

investment is not an issue. Although there’ll be less profit if we invest in publishing, our company has

been testing the waters in this market for the past two years. So in response to what you just said, I

agree on behalf of my company.”

The other party replied before Elizabeth spoke again. “I believe we’ve struck a deal on this. I hope you

will give me a satisfactory answer. After all, only a fool would be willing to offend the Yard family over a

small author.”

After she hung up, Elizabeth smirked. “Tiffany, weren’t you good at picking fights? Since you humiliated

me yesterday, I won’t let you live peacefully. There’s more to the Yard family than just a name.”

At the same time, Tiffany, who had rushed through the night to finish her manuscript, was sleeping

soundly in bed. Her phone rang loudly, sounding as if it were coming after her life, forcing Tiffany to drag

herself out of bed.

She felt around for her phone, and without looking at the screen, she answered the call. Her voice was

small and sounded like a baby. “I don’t care who you are, you’d better have something urgent to tell me.

If not, I won’t let you die a peaceful death since you’ve interrupted my sleep!”

Although she sounded like a child, her words carried no hint of innocence at all.

“Oh my god, why are you still asleep at this time? Hurry up and come over to the company. The boss

says he wants to terminate your contract,” replied her editor anxiously. Tiffany was the best-selling author

who she managed. Without Tiffany, her editor could be out of work. Moreover, they had been working

together quite well all these years. Although Tiffany sometimes submitted her manuscripts late, she was

still a very competent author compared to the others and was considered highly productive.

Tiffany suddenly became alert. Her hands shook, not in fear, but anger and confusion.

Tiffany had been working with her current company for two to three years. She started off being criticized

for every little thing. Slowly, she gained more recognition for her writing and her books started to sell

quite well. She eventually managed to get her books on the best-selling s list. Basically, her

company and editor were the ones who watched her grow from a small ist to the best-selling author

that she currently was. However, they wanted to terminate her contract out of a sudden. This was a big

blow to her.

“Why? Give me a reason.” Tiffany thought of a thousand things to say but only managed to get that one

sentence out.

Her editor was restless. “Stop asking questions. Just hurry and wash up then come over to the company.

I’ve no time to explain so much to you now.”

When the call ended, Tiffany felt very uneasy but still washed up as quickly as she could, changed into

some clean clothes, then headed out the door.

After almost an hour, she arrived at the company.

Her editor had been waiting for her at the entrance.

“You’re finally here. Hurry, let’s go up. Don’t become too agitated when you see Mr. Hisson later. You

know he’d always been taking good care of you. Just talk things out properly and try your best to keep

your contract with the company. You’re a best-selling author, so it’s a huge loss to the company if they

stop working with you. There should be some misunderstanding here,” her editor rattled on and on.

Tiffany replied with a straight face, “I want to know what’s going on too. I’ve always been working well

with the company so I want to hear an explanation from Mr. Hisson. Otherwise, it’s not simply about

terminating a contract anymore. Although I don’t have any riches or connections, I got to where I am

today all because of my hard work. I won’t allow the company to treat me like a toy, forcing me to

terminate the contract for no reason.”

Her editor was getting increasingly concerned. “You’d better keep calm when you meet him and hold

your temper. If you really get into an argument then it would be hard to mend the relationship.”

Tiffany took in a deep breath and replied, “Shannon, I know that. I’ll control my temper. But if the

company insists on terminating the contract, I don’t know if I can continue to keep it in. After all, no one

likes being someone else’s toy and having to accept whatever that was thrown at them.”

The editor kept silent after that.

The pair then took the elevator up. Outside the office, the editor knocked on the door. A pleasant male

voice came from inside the room.

The editor glanced at Tiffany and whispered, “Remember to speak calmly and don’t get too agitated,

okay?”

Tiffany took a breath and composed herself. When she was ready, she gave her editor an OK gesture.
