Too Much to Bear, My Love

Chapter 905 The Finale

“I’m sorry, Ms. Larson. Please spare me. I was hired by someone to do this. I’ve never thought something bad will happen to Mrs. Larson. This is just a mistake. Please spare me, I beg you.” The man flung himself on Jennifer and pleaded for forgiveness.

Jennifer was utterly confused. Yet, she realized something after looking at the pleading man before her eyes. She didn’t want to believe that her previous hatred toward Oscar and Amelia was merely a misunderstanding, as it would make her grudges seem like a cosmic joke.

Jennifer really didn’t want to believe any of this was true.

“Ms. Larson, we didn’t mind that you kept accusing Oscar and me of hurting your mom. But being misunderstood still made us feel uncomfortable somehow. So, I asked Oscar to find the culprit who poisoned your mom. We got lucky and found out it was this man’s doing. I think he will tell you the truth,” Amelia explained.

Jennifer’s lips shivered as she lowered her head and looked at the man kneeling in front of her, then said, “Tell me.”

“Ms. Larson, I was forced to do so by a foreigner named June. He gave me a huge amount of money and asked me to mix the drug into Mrs. Larson’s food but reassured me that nothing bad would happen. I agreed for the sake of money, but I never wanted to harm Mrs. Larson. Please believe me. I was horrified when the dog bit her, and I didn’t know she was dead after she went overseas,” the man said in a petrified tone.

Jennifer took a step backward and became dumbfounded. She had never expected the truth to be so ugly and cruel.

Jennifer’s lips trembled as she questioned, “Are you saying that it was June who instructed you to poison my mom?”

“I won’t lie to you anymore, Ms. Larson. At that time, he transferred a large sum of money to me via his bank account. You can fact-check this if you don’t believe me. There are three hundred thousand, and I have used none of the money.”

Jennifer glared at the man who used to be their family cook. Losing all control, she grabbed him and shook him violently.

“Why? Why did you do that? The Larsons have always been kind and generous to all our helpers. We would even prepare gifts for you during the festive seasons. Although my mom could be arrogant sometimes, she never mistreated you. How can you be so cruel to hurt her? Do you know she died because her chronic illness relapsed? She even died a painful death! My dad and I lost an important person. Why would you hurt her? Why?” Jennifer wailed in a desperate tone.

She was deeply affected because the people whom she once thought were her enemies turned out to be someone else. It was as if someone had destroyed everything she used to believe in.

“I didn’t do this on purpose, Ms. Larson. The temptation of money was too great for me. I never thought the drug would cause Mrs. Larson to become violent and psychotic. I beg you. Please spare me this time.”

“In your dreams! You killed my mom and ruined my family. I will make you spend the rest of your life in prison!” Jennifer said while gritting her teeth.

The man continued begging her.

After Jennifer was tired of beating the man up, she lifted her head to look at Oscar and Amelia with her reddened eyes. She then spoke in a raspy voice. “Mr. Clinton, Amelia, I owe you an apology if this is the truth. I will come to beg for forgiveness after I’ve dealt with my own issues. Please leave this person with me for now. I will return when I’ve settled the matter.”

“We can’t leave this person with you, Ms. Larson. We’re afraid you’ll do something silly. Let’s hand him to the cops instead. I’m sure the cops will help you get the justice you deserve,” said Amelia.

Jennifer looked at Amelia. The latter didn’t give in and stared back at Jennifer as well.

After a few minutes went by, Amelia spoke again. “Ms. Larson, I promised someone that I’ll forgive you and help you seek the truth, as long as you don’t make any mistakes that cross my boundaries. I’ve delivered my promise, so I can’t let you take this person with you to do something stupid. I’m sorry. Besides, the cops will be here soon. I believe they will seek justice for you.”

Jennifer smiled upon hearing Amelia’s words. However, the smile looked bitter. “All right. We’ll leave this person to the cops. I’ll go home first, and I’ll come back after I’ve settled everything on my hands.” With that, she turned around and left.

Just then, the police arrived. They arrested the man on the ground. Amelia went to them and said, “Thank you for coming. This man committed a crime that murdered someone indirectly, and it was very serious. Thus, it would be best if you interrogate him properly. Not only is this my instruction, but it’s also my husband’s. I’m sure the chief will agree.”

The police in the lead nodded his head in acknowledgment.

After the police took the man away, Oscar wrapped his arm around Amelia’s shoulder and asked, “Are you happy now?”

“I’m just doing this to help Carter. After all, it’s a pity for a perfect couple like them to miss out on each other,” Amelia answered while leaning against his chest.

However, Oscar’s opinion differed from Amelia’s. He thought it was difficult for Jennifer and Carter to get back together. Instead of compromising and staying in the relationship, perhaps it was the best outcome for Jennifer and Carter to stay apart. After all, if Jennifer remained bothered by this matter, it would be better for them to stay separated from the beginning.

Yet, Oscar didn’t express his opinion out loud.

After Jennifer left the farmstay, she returned to the Larson residence and didn’t step out of the house for two days. On the third day, she changed into a black outfit and left the house. No one knew where she went. Two months later, she appeared at the police station.

“June, why did you attack my mom?” Jennifer asked calmly while staring at June, who was sitting across from her with a tired look on his face. Although she wanted to murder June so badly, she believed karma would eventually hit him for all the crimes he had committed.

June scoffed. “You found out, huh? I was still planning to use you as my pawn to deal with Oscar. I didn’t expect you to find out so soon. Anyway, this is actually good as I feel bad about lying to a foolish woman like you.”

The look on Jennifer’s face shifted, and there was a hint of hatred in her eyes when she looked at June.

“You’re really ruthless, June. In order to fight against Oscar, you’re willing to attack my mom and set Oscar up as the scapegoat. But there’s a saying in Chanaea that goes, ‘what goes around comes around. Don’t you care about Cassie? Then let me destroy her for you so that you two can share the same fate,” Jennifer said smilingly.

There was a slight change in June’s expression, and he glared at Jennifer while gritting his teeth in fury. “If you dare touch her, I’ll kill you as soon as I get out of here.”

“In that case, we shall discuss further after you’re released. Having said that, who knows if you’ll ever leave this place. By then, even I don’t know where I’ll be.” Jennifer burst out laughing. “However, the woman you miss dearly won’t be as fortunate. What do you think I should do to her? Should I disfigure her face or cripple her? Perhaps I should cripple her. I think it’s better to turn her into a disabled person.”

“How dare you!” June lurched forward in agitation to strangle Jennifer, but the door was in his way.

“I’ll be taking my leave now, June. Soon, you’ll hear about Cassie’s tragic news. Do thank me by then.” Jennifer left the police station wearing a smile.

After exiting the facility, she contacted Cassie for them to meet at a coffee shop.

Cassie showed up in a relatively simple outfit.

“It feels like you’ve changed a lot, Ms. Yard,” Jennifer said.

Cassie ordered a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and responded with a faint smile.
