Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 286 What If He Finds Out That You Are Blind

Tiffany’s voice softened. “Babe, calm down. If the Clintons refuse to hand over Tony’s custody, we have the right to take legal action. They might be influential, but we’re not weaklings. I know some people who could be of help. Don’t worry.”

Amelia glanced around, the confusion in her gaze evident. “Tiff, I don’t want to go to court. I owe the Clintons a favor. If Oscar hadn’t helped me, I would still be in jail now. Olivia was nice to me, so I don’t want to be ungrateful.”

“Then, are you going to leave Tony with them?”

Amelia fell silent.

“Babe, I’ll be brutally honest with you. You should’ve expected this when you thought of getting a divorce.” After careful deliberation, she added, “Tony is the Clintons’ first grandson. If you want his custody, the only way is to take legal action. But you’ve been a housewife for the past few years and had little experience at work, so I’m afraid the judge will compare your financial status with Oscar’s and give Tony to him. I think you should be prepared.”

Amelia’s hand holding her phone trembled as the color drained from her face.

“Babe, that was the worst that could happen.” Tiffany’s voice grew soft. “Oscar has agreed to give up on Tony’s custody, so you don’t have to worry. He is a man of his word. Besides, he loves you. With his support, you’ll have a big chance of winning Tony’s custody,” she said.

Amelia laughed bitterly, for she had no idea if Olivia and Owen would stay out of this. If they were against it, she wasn’t sure that Oscar’s love for her would win over his parents.

“Should I keep you company?” Tiffany inquired on the other end of the line.

Regaining her composure, Amelia answered gently, “No need. The Clinton family is in a mess right now. Your presence might make things worse. Stephanie might also attack you verbally for no reason.”

“Has she made things difficult for you?”

Amelia didn’t answer.

“That woman is seriously shameless. After everything she did to harm you, instead of feeling guilty, she never repented and even repeated her mistakes!” Tiffany exclaimed angrily.

“Don’t be mad. I’ll just think of it as being bitten by a mad dog.”

“Didn’t Mr. and Mrs. Clinton do anything to stop her?”

Amelia let out a self-deprecating laugh. “I will not be their daughter-in-law soon. Now that I’ve infuriated them, I should be glad they didn’t kick me out. Why would they punish their daughter for my sake? But I have to admit that this is my fault. I understand why they are upset. I have disappointed them by kicking up a fuss and demanding a divorce.”

“Babe, don’t say that. Just get a divorce. You and Oscar aren’t fated to be together,” Tiffany consoled her.

Amelia chuckled sadly and changed the topic. “All right, Tiff. I need to go and see Tony.”

“Sure. Take good care of yourself. Call me if you need anything.”

“Okay.” After a pause, Amelia said, “Tiff, after the divorce is finalized, I’ll leave the city at once no matter who wins Tony’s custody. There are too many memories for me to continue staying here.”
