Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 897 The Special Invitation

Instead of looking at Oscar, Rory shot Amelia a glance and flashed a smile. As her looks slightly resembled Amelia’s, the way she smiled made her look like a replica of the latter.

As Amelia watched her grin, she somehow felt an inexplicable disdain in her heart. Subconsciously, she glanced at Oscar and noticed he was staring at Rory. Amelia’s heart skipped a beat because she feared Oscar would have different feelings for Rory.

“Rory, right? You should know what I like before you try to seduce me. Dressing up and getting plastic surgery to look just like my wife doesn’t mean I will like you. A defective product will always be flawed. Don’t imitate my wife on purpose. You’re only making a fool out of yourself, and the sight of you disgusts me,” uttered Oscar unwaveringly with the corner of his lips quirked up. His words sounded rather malicious to others.

Rory’s picturesque and exquisite face grew slightly distorted from her grimace as she dug her slender fingers into her skin. “Mr. Clinton, she is my companion. Don’t you think you are being disrespectful to me for saying those words in my face?” the man said angrily.

All it took was a glance from Oscar for the man’s aggressiveness to subside. “Since she is your woman, you should stop her from hitting on other guys, especially with that face of hers after she had plastic surgery. Even if she looks exactly like my wife after the surgery, she is still a defective product,” Oscar said imposingly.

Rory’s expression became even grimmer. With that, Oscar took Amelia with him to the side, leaving Rory and the man. The latter’s face was contorted from anger, but he dared not do anything to Oscar.

“Rory, how dare you persuade me to come over so that you could seduce Oscar? I turned out to be just your pawn.” The man immediately flung her hand away and left in a huff.

Rory froze on the spot, biting her lip. Initially, she thought she could catch Oscar’s attention by dressing up, but she didn’t expect to be mocked by him instead.

Undoubtedly, Oscar and Amelia, who had already left, couldn’t be bothered with whatever went on in Rory’s mind.

Oscar helped Amelia to take some food. Seeing the faint frown on her forehead, he lifted his hand to caress the furrow.

“Stop frowning. Otherwise, it will ruin your looks,” said Oscar gently.

Amelia snickered at that.

“Oscar, I suspect the actress who calls herself Rory earlier is actually Rory Sanders. I don’t believe there would be that many who look like me in a city.” She finally voiced out her suspicions.

Oscar caressed her cheeks. “Don’t worry. She is nothing but a clown. I’ll have someone find out more about her. If these people think I am someone who easily yields to seduction, they would surely lose badly.”

After the banquet ended, Oscar took Amelia home and called Hugo, asking him to run a background check on Rory after Amelia fell asleep. Hugo sent all of Rory’s information to Oscar in less than two hours.

It turned out Rory had indeed undergone plastic surgery, and she was the one who had taken care of Amelia before that. After she was exposed and kicked out of the company, she hooked up with Jennifer, who paid for her surgery. Jennifer also exploited her networking to gain sponsors for Rory and helped Rory become an actress in the entertainment industry. Besides that, now that Rory’s facial features resembled Amelia’s, the media was spreading rumors saying she was the sister of ClintonCorporations’ heir’s wife. Regardless of the veracity of the rumors, the entertainment industry treated her with a measure of respect just to be safe. Anything was possible when it came to family background.

Perhaps because of such an advantage, Rory quickly rose to fame in the entertainment industry. In just a year since she made her debut, she had acted in many series and had gained many diehard fans who called her a sexy goddess.

As Oscar read the facts, the corner of his lips curled up into a smirk.

Just then, Hugo’s call came in.

“Boss, I’ve hacked into Jennifer’s computer and found many photos of Rory before and after the plastic surgery. There are also photos of her sleeping with many investors. If these photos were uploaded to the internet, her acting career would be completely over,” stated Hugo.

“Go ahead,” ordered Oscar.

He had no interest in playing childish games with a woman who tried to ruin his family and would nip the problem in the bud if there were any danger. Isabella’s tricks had made him beyond wary. He dared not overestimate himself and underestimate his enemies’ capabilities again. Any threat had to be eliminated so that his enemies wouldn’t rapidly grow more powerful and threaten his family. If that happened, there would be dire consequences.

The next day, intimate photos of the rising actress Rory getting drunk with many producers and being taken advantage of while sitting in some older men’s laps were all over the newspapers from major media companies. Various photos of her hit the headlines of the entertainment news. The news also spread fast on the internet. Her Twitter account—which she had only recently created—and the social platforms related to her were flooded with comments. Many were disappointed to find out about her true colors. At the same time, there were some who were enjoying the show on the internet as the matter was no concern to them.

In short, Rory became a hot topic almost everywhere in the country in a day, but her acting career was over.

Meanwhile, Rory, who had been acting arrogantly in the agency, was yanked into the office by her manager. He then took out his phone to show her the articles about her scandal spread across the internet.

“Oh my God. This is surely the end for you. Your scandals are now all over the newspapers and the internet. You have truly become famous this time, but your acting career is utterly ruined. I think it would be hard for you to start over even if you have influential people to back you up,” her manager said fretfully while walking in circles.

Rory’s expression turned grim. As she stared at the photos of her drinking recklessly with the producers and investors on the website, the words “It’s over” couldn’t stop reverberating in her head.

Everything she had worked hard to achieve might be at stake because of the scandals.

The first thought that came to her mind was Oscar. All she did was show up before him once yesterday, yet her scandals were already spreading all over the place the next day. She had always known that Oscar was so powerful that he could hide any truth as he pleased. However, she did not expect he would be so ruthless as to force someone who had only appeared before him once into a corner.

Her limbs turned cold in an instant while her mind was a mess. As her manager continued to lament and fret over the news, his voice sounded like a buzzing fly to her.

Picking up her bag, she planned to leave without looking back. Before she could do so, her manager grabbed her hand.

“Where do you think you’re going, Rory? Hordes of reporters are camping outside, just waiting for you to appear! You’ll be surrounded by them as soon as you step out of here. We’re already in a mess right now, so please stop causing trouble. Once the heat is off us, we’ll arrange a press conference to clear things up.” The manager pulled Rory back inside and added, “Right now, you need to stay in here, and I’ll go find the higher-ups to deal with the photographs.”

Rory could only purse her lips tightly without saying a word.
