Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 458 Hit A Child

The front door slammed open. Before Amelia could see who came in, Tiffany’s barrage of questions reached her ears first. “Amelia, what’s wrong? You said you were threatened on the phone earlier. Are you okay? Who is the culprit? Have you called the police?”

Amelia shook her head and walked toward Tiffany, taking a seat on the sofa.

“Babe, tell me from the top what exactly happened. You weren’t clear on the phone earlier. I almost ran a red light, worried something bad had happened to you.” Tiffany was worried sick. She figured someone had cursed Amelia with bad luck. The latter hadn’t had even a single day of peace ever since she came to Tayhaven. Everyone wanted to mess with her.

Tiffany’s gaze scanned the entire room, but she didn’t see Oscar anywhere. She frowned as she asked, “Where’s Oscar? How can he not be here when something so serious has happened to you? What kind of husband is he?”

Amelia reached for Tiffany’s hand and lightly slapped it on the back. “Tiff, calm down. I’m fine. Oscar was with me earlier, but he left to pick Tony up when he heard you were almost here.”

“I guess he’s not that bad then.” The creases on Tiffany’s forehead smoothened. She continued, “Babe, tell me about the threat.”

Amelia gave Tiffany a run down of the entire incident.

“What? Who could have done such a thing? Have you called the police? The culprit is so immature and evil. Why did they involve a young child if they just wanted to scare you?” Tiffany’s voice rose an octave as rage filled her.

Amelia merely sat on the sofa silently with a grim look.

Upon noticing the gloominess on Amelia’s face, Tiffany calmed herself down once again and comforted her, “Babe, don’t worry. If that evil and immature culprit wants to hurt Tony, they’ll have to go through us. Do they think they can do anything they want? Let them come. Once I have my hands on them, I’ll teach them a lesson they’ll never forget. They’ll regret having been born into this world once I’m through with them.”

Amelia couldn’t help her laughter at Tiffany’s threat. Her sadness and worries always disappeared with Tiffany around.

“Tiff, you look just like one of those creepy witches in children’s bedtime stories right now. The person who wants to hurt Tony will be terrified if they catch a glimpse of you,” Amelia teased.

Tiffany cast Amelia a side glance to express her dissatisfaction at being compared to an ugly witch, but she wasn’t angry at the latter’s teasing.

“Babe, do you have anyone you’re suspicious of?” asked Tiffany as she took a seat beside Amelia.

“The only people who hate me so much in Tayhaven are Cassie and Isabella. However, I don’t think Isabella will threaten me irrationally like that. It doesn’t fit her character. My bets are on Cassie.”
