Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 812 Helping Out

Over dinner, Terrence grew increasingly satisfied with Tiffany after he received Oscar’s promise. As they headed out, Oscar said, “Mr. Terrence, I shall leave my friend in your hands. Please take good care of her in the Hisson residence. The Clintons are willing to collaborate with your family as long as she is doing fine.”

Terrence nodded and flashed a pleasant smile. “Tiffany is my granddaughter-in-law. There’s no way I’ll treat her harshly.” Oscar shot him a nod. “Mr. Terrence, if that’s it, Amelia and I shall take our leave. Our kids are still at home.”

Terrence chuckled. “Sure. We shall meet another day when you’re free. You’re a sensible man, so we can go fishing together,” he suggested.

“No problem. I’ve always wanted to learn how to fish from you, Mr. Terrence. Why don’t we do that this weekend? If you’re free, of course.”

Hearing that, Terrence let out a hearty chuckle.

“That sounds like a great idea! It’s decided, then.”

Oscar exchanged a few pleasantries with him before he got into the car with Amelia.

Terrence stood in his spot as his smile slipped. Glancing at Kate, he said coldly, “Let’s go.”

Back in the Hisson residence, Terrence told Derrick to bring Tiffany to their room before he led Kate to his study.

“Dad, is there anything you need from me?” Kate asked, feigning ignorance.

Terrence cast a look at her. “When will Crystal leave?”

Kate’s lips curved up into a smile. “Dad, I’m bored at home, so I want her to stay for a few days to keep me company. You won’t object to it, right?”

“Kate, you’re a smart woman. I believe you realized that I asked for your help to invite Oscar and Amelia here to provide them assurance. I need Oscar’s help since Clinton Corporations has been developing at a fast rate these few years. It’s doing so much better than the other companies that were established at the same time. If we want our company to do better, we must collaborate with Clinton Corporations. I hope you won’t create any trouble for me,” Terrence said sternly.

Instantly, Kate’s expression turned dark. A myriad of thoughts flashed across her mind before she said, “Dad, you acquiesced to Crystal’s presence previously. Why did you suddenly change your mind after a few days?”

Hearing that, Terrence let out a sigh.

Glancing at Kate, he reminded her, “You’ve led a lavish and easy life for too long, so you assume our family is still as prominent as ever. You have no idea that most of the businesses in Tayhaven have been acquired by the Clinton family. Their influence is beyond your imagination. A few days ago, Oscar came to me and claimed he wanted to work with our family. Actually, he was exerting pressure on us. It looks like Tiffany is pretty important to him. He wasn’t joking around when he said he took her to be his god-sister. Don’t destroy the Hisson family just for your greed.”

Kate hung her head low as reluctance flashed across her gorgeous face. After all, she went to great lengths in order to kick Tiffany out. As such, she was unwilling to give up and let her plan fall short.

“Kate, there’s no doubt that you’re clever. Previously, you looked down on Tiffany because of her background. But now that the Clinton family is backing her up, you should stop scheming against her,” Terrence added.

Despite her reluctance, Kate had to listen to Terrence’s words. I’ll have to hold back my plans, then.

“Dad, I got it. I won’t interfere in their relationship anymore. However, it won’t be my fault if they don’t end up together.”

Terrence bobbed his head to acknowledge her words.

“Dad, I shall take my leave now. Good night.”

“Go, then.”

After that, Kate padded back to her own room. Finnick took one look at her dark expression and knew that she had suffered a setback before his father.

He asked, “Why? Did Dad reprimand you?”

After she heard his question, Kate’s expression turned a shade darker.

“Stop fretting. If you don’t like her, we can just kick her out. I think we can deal with a young lady like her easily,” Finnick declared.

Kate sighed. “Dad values her as the Clintons are backing her up. He even warned me to stop making things difficult for her.”

Finnick lowered his gaze and gave it some thought.

“Dad’s gone senile. Clinton Corporations is the leading company in Tayhaven, and Oscar is well-known for his ambition. Is he using Tiffany to target our company? Did he strike up a friendship with Dad to get our company for himself?”

Kate’s brows furrowed up as she asked, “Darling, what do you mean?”
