Too Much to Bear My Love

in-law of the Clinton family, and she should be giving you the title now. Otherwise, I’ll be so repulsed

when I’ve got to see her every festival that I can’t stomach any food. She’s simply too revolting.”

Wiping her tears, Cassie feigned hesitance as she muttered, “Don’t deliberately insult your sister-in-law

just because of me, Steph. I don’t want your pity.”

As Stephanie sat on the sofa with her hands crossed, she retorted, “You know me best, Cassie. If I say I

hate someone, that means I truly hate her. The only thing that woman knows is to act pitiful in front of my

mom. “Ever since she became the daughter-in-law of our family, my mom has been treating her like a

precious gem, afraid that she’ll shatter at the slightest hurt and spoiling her greatly. Even I, her biological

daughter, come after that woman. She has long since been a thorn in my flesh, and I even hope that

she’ll quickly get divorced with Oscar.”

Hearing this, Cassie dipped her head as a flash of malice flittered across her eyes once more.

“I do want to be your sister-in-law, Steph. But judging from your brother’s demeanor, I don’t think he

wants to divorce Amelia.” Cassie’s voice sounded extremely disappointed. In the next moment, she lifted

her head and looked at Stephanie helplessly. “Steph, you’re the only one who can help me now. You

don’t want Amelia to be your sister-in-law, and I hope I’m the only person your brother loves. So…”

Off her guard, Stephanie asked, “What do you want me to do?”

“Break the link between your brother and her.”

For a moment, Stephanie didn’t quite get her meaning.

“What link?”

“The baby in her stomach.”

Understanding abruptly dawned upon Stephanie that moment. Her eyes instantly went wide, and she

gaped at Cassie in disbelief. “Have you lost your mind, Cassie?” she gasped.

“I’m in full possession of my mental faculties, Steph. If the child in Amelia’s stomach sees the light of the

day, I don’t think your brother will divorce her anymore,” Cassie surmised.

Stricken with terror, Stephanie jumped up from the sofa and waved her hands wildly. “No, no! That’s my

nephew or niece. I’ll never kill my nephew or niece no matter how much I loathe Amelia. Cassie, I’ll

consider it a slip of tongue since you’re too anguished after suffering a miscarriage not long ago.”

At this, a flicker of malice again glinted in Cassie’s eyes.

“Steph, there are still plenty of opportunities for your brother’s children to call you aunt in the future. But

once Amelia gives birth, the link between her and your brother will deepen. Are you willing to live with her

under the same roof, seeing each other every single day?”

Stephanie went silent upon hearing this.

In truth, she truly loathed Amelia. In the beginning, she merely disdained her, but when Olivia’s attention

seemingly shifted wholly onto Amelia, her disdain slowly turned into intense hatred. Ever since young,

she’d always been the center of attention with everyone eager to pamper her. However, after Amelia had

married into the family, her status suffered a one-eighty turn.

Her mother loved Amelia more than her, so it would be a blatant lie if she were to say that she harbored

no envy at all.

And at this time, Cassie again added fuel to the fire. “Steph, I heard people saying that Mrs. Clinton loves

Amelia Winters very much, more much than she does, you, although you’re her biological daughter. If the

baby in her stomach is a boy, her status in the Clinton family will most likely be elevated accordingly. At

that time, Mrs. Clinton will probably go along with everything she says. Do you think you’ll still have a

place in the Clinton family? “When you get married later, the Clinton family will be all hers. Do you think

she’ll help you if you were to encounter any issues with your husband’s family? Don’t pin your hopes on

your brother, for men will only listen to their wives. He might not even remember whose sister you are

then!”

Upon hearing this, Stephanie’s face darkened time and again.

Indeed, she had considered everything Cassie mentioned, and that was why she envied and detested

Amelia. What enables a woman, who has seemingly nothing at all, to easily snatch everything I had from

the Clinton family? Stark resentment swamped her at this thought.

Subsequently, Cassie continued fanning the flames. “I’m not scaring you, Steph. Amelia Winters is the

kind of woman who has the ability to lead men by the nose. Do you think Mr. Yard’s stance toward her

won’t soften when she has given birth to the first grandchild of the Clinton family? With the child as the

catalyst, everyone in the family will side with her at that time. And what do you think will become of you

when you’ve once offended her?”

At this, Stephanie’s expression turned all the more forbidding.

In reality, if she actually understood Amelia’s character and trusted her family, this picture Cassie painted

would never come to pass. Alas, she was clearly blinded by her jealousy. Thus, when someone else

sowed the slightest discord, her trust in her family instantly collapsed.

Irrefutably, Cassie was indeed a rather shrewd woman, for she managed to hit Stephanie right where it

hurt.

At this moment, a myriad of emotions flashed across Stephanie’s face and eyes.

Knowing that her provocation had already accomplished quite an effect, Cassie then changed her tune.

She pretended as though she was concerned about Stephanie instead. “Steph, I know you don’t have

the guts to do it, so just regard all that as my tirade. Anyway, even if I don’t marry your brother, I can

marry other rich heirs considering my family background. But as for you… Forget it. You’re a member of

the Clinton family, so I shouldn’t be saying anything.”

After hearing all this, the range of expressions flickering across Stephanie’s face became even more

unfathomable.

“You’re right, Cassie. My brother will still have other children in the future. I don’t mind having any other

woman giving birth to the eldest grandchild of the Clintons, but not Amelia Winters. What are you

planning to do about the child?” Stephanie snarled with a malicious expression, seemingly having made

up her mind.

A flash of triumph glinted in Cassie’s eyes at once, but she feigned hesitance and murmured, “Steph, I’m

afraid that if you get involved in this matter, you won’t be able to withstand your brother’s wrath when he

learns about this.”

At this, Stephanie hesitated as well.

“How about you just forget about it? Just regard all that as crazy ramblings.”

Stephanie dithered for a long while. But in the end, she asserted, “No, this child can’t be allowed to see

the light of the day. Amelia is already the apple of my mom’s eyes, so my mom will probably love her all

the more if she gives birth to a son. At that time, I’ll be caught in a difficult position.”

Cassie was feeling increasingly smug, yet she asked with an utterly innocent expression, “Are you sure,

Steph?”

This time, Stephanie nodded resolutely.

“Well, Cassie? What do you want to do? Don’t tell me that you’re dragging me into this because you want

to make me your scapegoat?” As she stared at Cassie with a complicated look in her eyes, she also

commented, “You’ve changed a lot, Cassie. In the past, you’d never do anything to hurt someone else.”

In other words, Stephanie was saying that Cassie had now learned to scheme against someone else.

However, Cassie wasn’t at all bothered. Rather, a glint of malevolence manifested on her pale face.

“Steph, I don’t want to hurt anyone either. I just love your brother too much, so I don’t want to have him

snatched away by other women. I’m merely defending my relationship. You’ll understand when you fall in

love with someone. “Anyway, you have no right to judge me. Isn’t Amelia also hindering your interests?

Otherwise, would you have decided to make a move against her at the risk of your brother finding you

out?”

Stephanie fell silent, indicating a tacit acquiescence at her words.
