Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 902

Chapter 902 Bankrupt

“Mr. Walker, your company has been charged with tax evasion and smuggling. We already have the primary evidence so far. Here’s the warrant of arrest. Please come with us,” informed a male police officer while presenting an arrest warrant.

Noah was too stunned that he was in a daze even when the handcuffs were placed on his wrists. Carol, on the other hand, trembled in fear and rushed forward to grab his hand.

“You can’t take my son away. He’s accused wrongly. He has always been a trustworthy person in his business. I’m sure there must be a misunderstanding here,” Carol cried.

“Ma’am, it’s up to the court to decide whether Mr. Walker is accused wrongly.” The police pulled her away and brought Noah into the police car.

Carol trembled from head to toe, and her eyes were filled with panic. She had no one to help her now that Noah had been taken away. After pondering for some time, she decided to go upstairs to talk to Isabella.

Looking pale, Carol stepped into Isabella’s room and glanced helplessly at her daughter.

Isabella’s eyes glinted with glee when she saw Carol’s expression.

“So Noah’s taken away, huh? That’s great. He deserves it,” Isabella remarked happily.

The second Carol heard that, anger rose within her, which replaced her feelings of anxiousness. She rushed forward, grabbed Isabella’s hair, and started beating the latter. The attack was so violent that the latter had no chance of fighting back.

Isabella had already slumped onto the bed, panting by the time Carol stopped when she ran out of energy. However, she still fixed a provocative glare on Carol.

Swinging her sore hands, Carol sneered, “Isabella, I’ve been your mother for over twenty years, yet I never knew you were such a despicable person. I really wanted to strangle you to death just now, but I figured I’d be giving you an easy way out if I killed you just like that. So, I’ve decided to ignore you for the rest of your life.” A few minutes later, two maids walked in and carried Isabella out the door without saying a word.

Isabella struggled with all her might, shouting, “Put me down! I’m the daughter of the Walker family!”

However, the maids kept silent, which made her struggle even more.

Sadly, Isabella’s struggles were useless. In the end, the two maids placed her in the car, while one of them informed the chauffeur, “Joe, Mrs. Walker says you only need to send Ms. Isabella to the shelter. Suppose someone there takes her in; then good for her. If not, let her face her fate alone, even if she has to beg on the streets.”

Isabella’s face instantly drained of color. She regretted arguing with Carol earlier. After all, she was nothing without the Walker family’s support. Moreover, her limbs were not fully recovered. There was no way she could work in that state. Without a job, she would have no income and starve to death.

Alas, no one seemed to care about her feelings. As soon as one of the maids shut the door, the chauffeur drove off.

Isabella stared unblinkingly at the roof of the car.

Suddenly, she said, “Joe, you’ve been working for my family for over thirty years, haven’t you? You practically watched me grow up. I never treated you poorly over the years. Besides, you never fail to pick me up no matter how late I hang out with my friends abroad. Are you really going to send me to

the shelter when I’m at my weakest? I might starve to death, you know?” She was finally playing the sentiment card, feeling as if she had lost all hope.

Without her family and good friends, who left her when she ended up in that state, there was literally no one left who could help her. Finally, she had no choice but to place her last hope on the quiet, fifty-year- old chauffeur who had been assigned to her since she was young.

Joe said nothing. Instead, he stopped the car by the roadside, turned around, and glanced at her with a meaningful look.

However, Isabella did not look at him.

“Ms. Isabella, I can choose not to send you to the shelter, but under one condition—you have to marry me. I can take care of you for the rest of your life as long as you say yes,” Joe said, taking advantage of the situation.

Just like what Isabella said earlier, he had been the Walker family’s chauffeur for a long time and watched Isabella grow up. Naturally, he was already viewing her differently. However, the difference in their age and status gave him no choice but to suppress his desire. However, things were different now. Isabella was desperate and looked no different from a disabled person. Though Joe was much older than her, they were currently pretty close in terms of status. At that point, age was ignorable. That was why he dared to make such a ridiculous suggestion.

Finally, Isabella turned to meet his gaze, her eyes filled with mockery.

“Joe, are you taking advantage of me just because I’m desperate? Tell you what! I’ll never marry a rotten old man like you, even if I die. I’m not that shameless to sell my body to a man in his fifties just to earn myself three meals a day,” Isabella hissed.

She was indeed desperate, but her pride would never allow her to give in to reality. She would rather die than marry an old man.

Upon hearing that, Joe merely cast her a final glance before turning back and continuing driving.

To Isabella’s surprise, Joe actually dropped her off at the shelter and drove off.

As Isabella watched the car gradually disappear from her sight, she slowly lowered her hand that was raised.

She was officially alone.

After that, an employee there found her and took her in. In the end, no one knew where she was taken to.

Of course, Amelia was unaware of all that. In the meantime, she walked out of the kitchen with a plate of cut watermelon.

Oscar typed a few more words before shutting the laptop and saying, “Noah was taken to the police station. The trial will be held in three days. The judges will convict him based on the evidence collected by the police. I’m going to make sure he’ll be imprisoned for life for his crimes of evading tax and smuggling.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Amelia placed the plate of fruits on the coffee table and took a seat beside Oscar, asking, “Did you collect all this evidence?”

Oscar nodded.

He pulled her into his embrace and kissed her head, explaining, “Noah has been quite cautious during the past years. It took me a lot of effort to find all this. Anyway, he pretty much asked for it. The Walker

family never should’ve messed with you and Tony. I would’ve lent them a helping hand for Stephanie’s sake, but they just had to bring it upon themselves.”

Similarly, Amelia did not feel bad for them; she was only amazed by his courage. Back then, he would go easy on the Walker family because of Olivia. Now that Olivia was not there to protect them, the Walker family was utterly defeated by Oscar.

“Tiff and I saw Isabella begging on the streets when we went shopping today. Remember how she used to act arrogantly around you? It took only two months for her to end up in that state. I can’t help but feel pity for her,” Amelia said in an ambiguous tone.

However, Oscar was unfazed. “She’s just an unimportant stranger.”

“Don’t forget, she was once your fiancée for almost a year. How could you say that?”

“She’s the fiancée of the other Oscar who mixed up his memories, not me. Whether or not my memories were mixed up, I’ll never be interested in her,” he assured, squeezing her waist that made her chuckle.

Oscar then lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers to perform a rather invasive kiss. He then scooped her up and positioned her legs around his waist. With that, they made their way upstairs in that position.

After the intense moment, Amelia lay on his chest and shut her eyes from exhaustion.

“Are you tired?” Oscar asked gently as he stroked her hair.

Hearing that, Amelia nodded.

“Honey, please don’t bring up Isabella anymore. My relationship with her is all in the past. Wait. No. Nothing happened in the first place. I swear no other woman can get near me apart from you,” he

promised seriously.

Amelia could not help but laugh at his words.

She liked seeing him worried about her.

After chatting for some time, they soon fell asleep.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Noah was prosecuted by the court for tax evasion, smuggling, human trafficking, and other crimes. The evidence of his crimes was solid. The court believed his crimes were too severe, so they gave him a death sentence with a two-year probation. Upon hearing the news, Carol almost passed out.

Meanwhile, Matthew, who had to take care of the brokenhearted Carol on top of his unstable company, was exhausted. No matter how hard he tried to save his company, there was no stopping Walker Group from meeting its end.

Unwilling to give up, Carol went to Amelia’s company to cause a ruckus, but the guards threw Carol out before she could step foot into the building.

Hence, Carol decided to wait outside. When she finally saw Amelia walking out of the company, she rushed forward.

“You vixen! Jinx! You ruined my family! I’m going to teach you a lesson today.” Before the crowd in the company, who were busy having a discussion, could even react, they saw Carol running toward Amelia with a dagger in her hand.

“Watch out, Mrs. Clinton!” Jolin appeared out of nowhere and swung her leg, disarming Carol. It took her only a short while to restrain the latter.

After locking Carol’s hands behind her back, Jolin called the police.

Soon, the police came to take Carol away, and Amelia thanked Jolin before leaving.

However, Jolin followed Amelia from behind, looking hesitant to speak.

As Amelia turned around, she spotted Jolin’s awkward expression, which seemed quite funny to the former.

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s my fault that you almost got injured, Mrs. Clinton,” Jolin said with her head hung low.

“Jolin, you did well. Ever since I had you around me, I was never injured once. In fact, I’m extremely grateful to you, so you don’t have to feel guilty about it. Come on. Let’s go home. The Walker family is only reaping the fruits of their actions. If Noah hadn’t committed so many crimes, Oscar never would’ve found so much evidence. I won’t pity anyone who wants to harm me,” Amelia uttered coldly.

Jolin let out a chuckle.

When they arrived at Amelia’s home, Amelia made Jolin stay for dinner. Oscar, on the other hand, was still in a meeting. That was why he did not pick Amelia up.

It was only after dinner that Oscar arrived home.

Jolin entered Oscar’s study and informed him about the earlier incident, which made Oscar’s expression darken, and his eyes glint with rage.

Since the Walker family is keen on facing bankruptcy soon, I’ll grant their wish.

“What do you plan to do, Boss?” Jolin asked.

“The Walker family is already at the end of their rope. I’m going to make them announce their bankruptcy in three days,” Oscar explained calmly.

Despite that, Jolin knew Oscar’s character well. The calmer he looked, the more furious he was on the inside.

Sure enough, three days later, Matthew finally announced Walker Group’s bankruptcy due to their inability to cope with the debts.

On the television, he looked disheveled and tired, as if he had aged a lot.

Everyone could not help but feel that it was a shame for a major company to face bankruptcy in just one night. At the same time, it caused thousands of its employees to become jobless in an instant.

Meanwhile, Amelia had read about the Walker family’s bankruptcy on the internet. Though she felt the same as everyone, she did not think too much about it.

That night, Olivia phoned Oscar and Amelia to get them to go home.

When dinner was over, Olivia sat on the couch, sipping elegantly on a cup of coffee.

“Amelia, Oscar, my purpose for getting both of you here is to tell you that Nolan is still the Walker family’s grandson. Although he’s currently transferred under your names, he still has their blood running in his veins. I really hope you two can eliminate everything about the Walker family. Don’t wait until someone gossips about the family to him when he’s older. You won’t want him to fall out with you,” said Olivia.

Oscar’s and Amelia’s expressions instantly darkened.

Of course, they understood Olivia’s concern.
