Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 779 Helping Noah

Olivia and Owen rushed back as soon as they could and went straight to the Walker residence with a few bags of

health supplements.

“You guys are here, Mrs. Clinton! Why did you guys bring so many things with you?” Carol took the health

supplements and invited her guests to sit down.

“Where’s Stephanie? When we were on the phone, she told us she was experiencing signs of a miscarriage. What

happened? Wasn’t everything all right when she went for a check-up at the hospital that day?” Olivia asked

anxiously.

Carol smiled awkwardly and answered, “Mrs. Clinton, this is rather embarrassing. Somehow, Noah pissed Oscar off,

and he accidentally revealed the details to Stephanie. Stephanie lashed out at Noah and said he had taken Oscar

for granted. Her anger affected the baby, so we brought her to the hospital after that. The doctor said Stephanie

was too emotional, and she was experiencing symptoms of a miscarriage. This is all our fault.”

Olivia was perplexed. However, her priority was to check on Stephanie. “Is Stephanie upstairs? Her father and I

would like to see her. We were visiting a friend in Machia. When we received her phone call, we were scared to

death!”

“I’ll bring you guys upstairs.”

Olivia dashed up the stairs and knocked on the door. Upon opening the door, Noah uttered politely, “Mom, Dad, I’m

so sorry that I didn’t take good care of Steph. I’ve let you guys down.”

Olivia shook her head and walked in.

At that moment, Stephanie was in bed and pretending to be weak and frail. When she saw Owen and Olivia, she sat

up and hugged her mother.

While sobbing, she said, “You’re finally here, Mom. Do you know what Noah did? He pissed Oscar off, and Oscar has

withdrawn all the funds. All the major projects are as good as dead because we don’t have enough money. I’m sure

Noah is going to destroy Walker Group. I can’t take it anymore. I don’t want the kid inside me, and I want to divorce

him! How could he be foolish enough to piss Oscar off? This is the end of us.”

Olivia hugged her and comforted her by saying, “Stop crying, okay? You’re pregnant. Tell me what happened, and

I’ll see to it. If Oscar has done something out of line, your dad and I will give Walker Group the money. We’re a

family. All we want is for you to have a happy marriage. You’ve finally conceived a child, so you have to get rid of

those negative thoughts. Don’t worry. As long as Noah hasn’t made any serious mistakes, your dad and I will take

care of the matter. You’re my only daughter, and I can’t bear to see you suffer.”

Upon hearing that, Stephanie stopped crying and looked at Olivia tearfully. “Mom, do you mean that?”

Olivia quickly nodded.

“Noah, tell Mom and Dad what you did. I’ve never seen someone as foolish as you. If not for Mom and Dad, we

would be doomed.” Stephanie pretended to be angry.

Putting on a calm facade, Noah told them how he had met June and that he wanted to collaborate with the man to

establish a new brand in order to penetrate the Erihal market. Somehow, Oscar found out about it and withdrew all

the funding from Walker Group without prior warnings.

“Dad, Mom, I don’t know much about the conflict between Oscar and June. June came to the company and showed

me a terrific proposal. Walker Group’s performance has been going down the hill for the past three years, so I

thought some changes might make things better. However, I didn’t expect Oscar to get angry. Just like that, my

plans are as good as dead. It’s all my fault. Not only did I make Oscar withdraw the funding, but I’ve also pissed

Steph off. Please punish me however you guys see fit.” Noah put all the blame on himself, which made Olivia feel

bad for him.

“Noah, we’ll look into the matter. No matter what, I can’t possibly sit by and watch Steph suffer. I’ll bring Steph to

the hospital for a check-up,” Olivia said.

Right then, Stephanie grabbed Olivia’s hand and said, “That’s not necessary, Mom. I feel a lot better now that you

and Dad are back. Stay here with me for a while, okay?”

“Are you sure you’re fine?” Olivia asked.

Stephanie nodded.

With that, Olivia kept Stephanie company for a few hours. After leaving the Walker residence, Olivia asked, “Owen,

what do you think about the situation?”

“Let’s ask Oscar about it first. It’s not like him to go overboard, and he wouldn’t act rashly and withdraw the funding

for no reason. I think Noah has done something terribly wrong.” In a calm manner, Owen added, “It seems like the

Walker family is quite greedy. Ever since Steph married into their family, they’ve been coming up with all kinds of

schemes and plots. Steph is on their side now. All she cares about is the Walker family. She’s even using her baby to

lure us here. I think they want you to knock Oscar down a peg.”

“Are you saying that her baby is actually fine?”

“Didn’t you see how ruddy she looked? Did she actually look like she was unwell?”

Olivia fell silent at his words. I can’t believe Steph actually lied to us for the Walker family’s sake. We’ve turned

down the opportunity to visit Archulea with our friends, yet she conspired with the Walker family to trick us.

Owen patted her shoulder and said, “Calm down, Olivia. I think she just wants to have a better life. Meanwhile, I

need to check Walker Group’s financial status. Back then, we trusted them and let Noah marry Steph. Now, it

seems like the Walker family isn’t as rich as we first thought.”

Olivia nodded.

The two of them then went to Clinton Corporations, where Linda welcomed them herself and served them drinks

and snacks.

“Old Mr. Clinton, Old Mrs. Clinton, please wait for a while. Mr. Clinton is having a meeting with Atlas Corporation’s

representative, Mr. Rice. I think they’ll need another half an hour,” Linda uttered politely.

Olivia nodded. “Got it. Carry on with your work. We’ll keep ourselves entertained.”

Linda nodded and left.

After the meeting, Teddy and Oscar were walking toward Oscar’s office. The former said, “Oscar, have you given it

some thought? I would still give you the same advice. I think your wife is a very talented designer. If she were to

study abroad for a couple of years, she’d be even greater! You can’t be so selfish and limit her potential.”

Oscar rolled his eyes at Teddy before saying domineeringly, “If that’s what she wants, I can invite the best designer

in the world to tutor her here. I can even introduce her works to the world. All she needs to do is say the word. I can

make her the best designer there is. Do you really think she needs to go abroad to study?”

Teddy could only keep quiet in response. However, he still did not agree with Oscar. Deep down, he considered

Amelia’s potential to be limitless, and it would be such a shame to waste that talent.

He kept rambling all the way into Oscar’s office, so he didn’t realize that there were people in there. “Oscar, think

about it again, okay? Ms. Winters is full of potential. It would be such a shame to keep her here.”

“That’s not necessary… Mom? Dad? When did you guys come back?” While adjusting his tie, Oscar finally noticed

their presence.

Teddy immediately stopped talking and turned solemn. He then greeted politely, “Hi! I’m Teddy Rice. I’m the person

in charge of Atlas Corporation in Chanaea.”

Olivia reached out her hand for a handshake. “Teddy, I’m Oscar’s mom. I heard about the collaboration with Atlas

Corporation. I’m finally seeing you in person! You’re so good-looking. Welcome to Chanaea.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Clinton! You’re very pretty, as well!” Teddy uttered sweetly. “I’ve already discussed the

collaboration with Oscar. I shan’t bother you guys any longer, then. Goodbye.”

Olivia nodded in acknowledgment.

After Teddy left, Olivia asked, “Oscar, what were you guys talking about? Was he trying to get you to send Amelia

abroad to study? What’s that about?”

Oscar didn’t want to talk about it, so he changed the topic. “Mom, Dad, when did you guys come back? When

Amelia called you guys the other day, didn’t you guys say you were going to stay in Machia for a couple of days

before traveling to Archulea with your friend?”

Olivia waved dismissively and answered, “Your sister called me and told me she wasn’t feeling well. She even said

she was experiencing symptoms of a miscarriage. Hence, your dad and I rushed back at once. We then found out

that you’ve withdrawn your funding from Walker Group. May we know why?”

Oscar sat on the couch and crossed his legs elegantly. “So, has she cried to you guys about it already?”

Olivia sighed and tried to persuade him, “Oscar, she’s your only sister. Perhaps you shouldn’t be so harsh on them.

Walker Group hasn’t been doing well financially, right? Why don’t you lend Noah a hand?”
