Chapter 547Chapter 547
When Amelia appeared while holding Oscar's hand, they attracted quite the attention. Everyone's
gazes were set upon her. Their eyes showed surprise, admiration, jealousy, and many other emotions.
Everyone showed different expressions toward what they saw.
Oscar calmly walked passed them with a smile on his face. That was exactly what he wanted. He was
trying to intimidate everyone there. Most people were not even qualified to judge his woman.
Amelia had her back straight. Although she was worried about Olivia's thoughts, she still looked
confident and dignified on the outside.
Being a part of the Clintons for so many years had already trained her temperament and aura to
perfection. Every gesture of hers carried a sense of confidence. She was at a standard that no ordinary
girl could ever attain.
Isabella, who was mingling around Olivia, saw Amelia holding onto Oscar's shoulder. Jealousy and
hatred were flowing out from her. Her emotions were radiating out. However, being afraid that Olivia
would notice, she didn't dare to show too much of it.
“Mrs. Clinton, Oscar is here,” Isabella said softly. After the incident with Tony, it took a lot of care for
Isabella to win back Olivia's heart. She was afraid to do anything to anger Olivia. Otherwise, her little
chance of being a Clinton would vanish into thin air.
Of course, Olivia already knew Oscar had appeared after hearing the commotion, but her face looked a
little gloomy as she saw Amelia holding onto Oscar's hand. However, her expressions turned normalagain in an instant.
Olivia tapped on Isabella's hand. “Don't worry. I'm here.”
It was the problem with the photos that made Olivia displeased toward Amelia. Otherwise, Olivia was
comforted by Tony's pleasing and wouldn't be trying to make things hard for Amelia at that moment on
purpose.
Olivia was prideful. She couldn't accept that someone had taken her as a fool. In her mind, the first rule
after becoming a Clinton was to obey her. She wanted them to forget and cut off their past. Obviously,
Amelia still hadn't done that. Photos and gossip about her were repeatedly spreading. If she didn't do
any of that, then no one could have gotten those photos.
Olivia couldn't stand the mess created by Amelia. Naturally, the former wanted to show her who was
the boss and warn her that she couldn't just do as she pleased with Oscar as her shield.
Olivia went over while grabbing Isabella's hand. “Where's Tony?”
“He will be here in a bit, Mom,” Oscar replied.
Olivia gave Amelia a glare and said purposefully, “You know my reason for holding the party, and yet
you came. Are you trying to make things hard for the Clintons and the Walkers? Or are you trying to
embarrass me?”
Oscar said nicely, “Mom, I thought you'd already acknowledged Amelia's presence? You doing this now
sure makes things hard for me. I do care about your feelings. However, I don't think I need to take
responsibility for what the Walker family did, right? They are the reason my son got hospitalized. Doyou think I will marry their daughter? You love Tony the most. I'm sure you don't want to see him suffer
as well, right?”
Isabella looked surprised as she dug her nails into her hands.
She bit her lips lightly and used a tremendous effort to calm herself down.
“Oscar, for what happened to Tony, my brother and I are extremely sorry about it. We do feel very guilty
about it, and we've apologized countless times. It wasn't intentional. Please forgive us.” Isabella looked
at Oscar with gleaming eyes.
However, Oscar couldn't care less about how she felt.
Isabella looked embarrassed and ashamed.
Olivia tapped on her hands again, reminding her to be patient.
Olivia then looked at Shane, who kept quiet the whole time, and asked, “This is?”
“He is Amelia's boss. We met him coincidently after work. Hence, I invited him here,” Oscar briefly
explained.
“Mrs. Clinton, nice to meet you. I'm Shane Franklin. Sorry for not bringing any proper gifts as I was
invited out of the blue. This is only a small gift. I hope you don't mind.” Shane passed Olivia the gift
politely and smiled. “I was always a little skeptical when people say that Mrs. Clinton is still a very
elegant and charming lady at the age of sixty. However, after meeting you in person, I am fullyconvinced that you, Mrs. Clinton, are a world-class beauty. No wonder Amelia is always praising how
amazing you are. I forgot to mention. Amelia and I were friends since university. After getting married to
the Clintons, you are the one she mentioned the most, saying that you are truly a highly respected
elder.”
Olivia was always very nice to her guests. As a woman, she naturally enjoyed the flattering words given
to her. Even though she knew that some of the things were overstatements, her heart still very much
enjoyed the praise.
Olivia had a maid take over Shane's gift. She then smiled. “Mr. Franklin, welcome! You're our guest.
Please don't be shy and make yourself at home. Mr. Franklin, you look like a fine gentleman, looking
strong and full of energy. I can tell that you're a man of great accomplishments. Are you married?”
Shane laughed. “Mrs. Clinton, you can just call me Shane. I am married with a cute little daughter.”
“Daughters are their parents' little sweetheart. How lucky are you to have your daughter.” Olivia
chuckled.
Shane laughed again. “I sure hope so!”
Olivia kept her smile.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a short while.
After that, Shane walked to another side and started chatting with other people at the party. He was a
master in socializing. With a quick chat, Shane was able to fit in the high-class circle where people
judge each other's status and standing. And with a few more tricks, he was able to exchange businesscards with them.
Oscar took a look at the skillful Shane and said, “Shane sure is no ordinary man. You need to be a little
careful.”
Amelia nodded her head.
“I know. I'll be more cautious.”
In that circle of people, one should never have intentions to harm others. However, one should always
be prepared to protect themselves from others. Otherwise, things would get very miserable for the
unprepared.
Amelia always maintained a simple relationship with the opposite gender that didn't dislike her. She
tried not to have any beneficial relations with them. Only by doing that could she be able to maintain
her friendships.
Oscar then got her a cocktail. “For what Mom said just now, you don't have to take it seriously. Time will
prove everything. Both of you have gotten along for five years. She does know what kind of person you
are. She's probably just a little angry for now. Just try to please her for now. If anything happens, I'll be
backing you up.”
“I'm fine. I'm not a twenty-two-year-old girl who just stepped into society. A lot of things don't bother me
as much anymore. I honestly think Mom is pretty good.” Amelia smiled.
Oscar knew that Amelia was only making things easy for him. He was feeling really grateful for her
maturity. The olden sayings were right. Getting married to a capable wife was the best choice he couldmake.
As Oscar brought Amelia to get some food, he whispered to her ear, “Honey, you're the most stunning
girl in here tonight. Sometimes I want to hide you. Then, none of these guys will be able to look at you
with those perverted eyes of theirs.”
Amelia had no idea if she should be laughing or crying after she heard that.
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm not as gorgeous as you say, okay? There are so many rich
princesses here. All of them look young and beautiful. I can't compete,” Amelia scanned through the
place and replied honestly.
“You have an aura that they don't have. In my eyes, you're a sly fox. That's how you're able to steal my
heart away.”
The two of them were flirting at the side of the venue as there was no one watching them.
One of the maids walked over and said, “Mr. Oscar, Mrs. Clinton wants to see you. She said that Mr.
Zimmer and his family are here, and she wants you to go and say hi.”
Oscar replied, “All right. You can carry on with your work now.”
The maid then looked at Amelia with a weird expression and hesitantly said, “Mr. Oscar, Mrs. Clinton
also mentioned that Ms. Amelia shouldn't go with you. She's a-afraid...”
“Afraid?” Oscar's gaze darkened. The maid gulped and said, “Afraid that Ms. Amelia would be too ignorant and offend the respected
guests.”
Oscar laughed in anger, and the maid was terrified.
Amelia quickly held onto his hands and locked their fingers. She then said to the maid, “You can carry
on with your stuff.”
The maid was relieved and quickly left.
“Oscar, calm down. You've scared the maid.” Amelia spoke with a gentle voice.
Oscar looked at her and twitched his lips. He then wrapped his arms around her waist. “Let's go. We'll
meet Mr. Zimmer together. I'm sure the old man will like you.”
“Who is this Mr. Zimmer? I've never heard of him.” Amelia furrowed her brows.
“You'll know when we get there.”
Oscar brought Amelia over. Olivia was talking to Isabella and an elderly with full grey hair, who looked
pretty well-spirited.
Amelia wondered what kind of a person was this Drake Zimmer. He actually had the Clintons come to
greet him personally.
“Mr. Zimmer, you're here. I thought you didn't want to attend our party.” Oscar had his arms around
Amelia as he walked over. His attitude toward Drake was very respectful. “Let me give you anintroduction. This is my wife. My son will be here in a bit. Amelia, this is Mr. Zimmer.” He introduced
them to each other.
Amelia then greeted Drake with a polite demeanor, “Good evening, Mr. Zimmer. I'm Amelia, Oscar's
wife.”
The two of them continued chatting. On the other hand, Olivia and Isabella's expressions didn't look
very nice.
Drake couldn't help but look over toward Olivia. “Olivia, didn't you say that this lady was your daughter-
in-law? Why is there another? Don't tell me Oscar has two wives.”
Olivia glared at Amelia and put on a polite smile. “Amelia is actually my ex-daughter-in-law. Oscar had
already divorced her. Oscar and I are talking about having him marry Isabella. Everyone knows this. I'm
counting on you to take good care of Isabella in the future then. Please help her a little in her career.”
Drake then glanced over at Oscar's hand that was around Amelia's waist. He was a smart man. There
was no way he didn't understand what was going on.
“Olivia, we've been friends for more than thirty years. Even though we don't meet often, let's not make
jokes like this. Amelia looks like a decent lady. She's beautiful, generous, and elegant, just like you. It's
obvious that she's your daughter-in-law. Pretty good.”
Olivia could only smile. “Drake, you've learned how to make jokes too. In a short while, I'll be
announcing Oscar's marriage to the Walker family's daughter. I'll be needing your support then.”
Drake looked around and realized that it was their family's problem. He then found an excuse and left. Right after he left, Olivia's face turned dark. She glared at Amelia and Oscar furiously.
