CHAPTER 517

Anika's smile froze. "What did you say? What do you mean?"

"In a literal sense," Madeline said, "have you ever wondered why Ewan never handles domestic business but specifically handles your family's business? Could it be that your family has something extraordinary that caught his eye?"

Anika's heart sank. "What do you mean? Is Ewan's original surname Atkinson? Atkinson..."

She looked at Amy with disbelief.

The surname 'Atkinson' was very rare.

Her hand on the table involuntarily clenched into a fist, and she asked Amy in a raspy voice, "Ewan... Who is he to you?"

Amy said lightly, "He is my brother."

"Your brother? You said Ewan is your brother?" Anika was stunned. "But your surname is Atkinson, and his surname is Bennett."

"Because my parents divorced," Amy continued. "I took my father's surname of Atkinson, and my brother took my mother's surname of Bennett."

At that, Anika's back felt cold. "Does Noah know?"

"Noah?" Amy shook her head. "He doesn't know."

Anika clenched her fists and questioned, "Why didn't you tell him?"

"Why should I tell him?" Amy retorted, "Noah and I are dating, but why should I tell him who my brother is? Is he going to marry me or my brother?"

"You... You..." Anika's head was spinning.

This sudden news left her momentarily flustered. Her mind went blank, and she couldn't think of anything to say.

Ewan Bennett, an internationally renowned economist and financial expert, had led several sensational international economic mergers and acquisitions and was a senior advisor to several multinational conglomerates.

Moreover, his grandfather was one the richest man in a foreign country. He was rich enough to rival a nation.

Anika only knew that Amy's father was a worker, and she never thought that Amy would have such a powerful grandfather and brother.

She now understood why her family was lucky enough to hire Ewan when the others couldn't do so.

It must be Amy who helped her family hire Ewan.

But why didn't Amy say it?

If Amy had told them earlier that Ewan was her brother, she wouldn't have treated Amy poorly just now.

She wouldn't have advised her son to marry his ex-girlfriend.

What was his son's ex-girlfriend compared to Amy's extended family and brother?

Amy's brother was the Midas of Wall Street!

If they could hire Ewan as an advisor, both the Ellis Family and her family would soar to success in no time.

Amy felt quite relieved when Madeline mentioned her brother's name.

After all, she couldn't bring herself to say such things.

It was too childish. Content is property © .

It was like when children fought, they would always bring up their dad to intimidate the other person which was embarrassing!

However, it was different when someone else said it.

It felt satisfying.

Anika, who was just proud and arrogant, looked pale as sweat covered her forehead. She was completely different from before.

Dealing with people like Anika required such an advantage. As long as the other party's status and position surpassed hers, she would immediately switch to a different demeanor and interact with them.

It gave Amy a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction!

Following that, Amy turned to Madeline and asked, "Maddie, let's go back?"

After hearing that, Madeline nodded. "Okay."

She had said what she needed to say, so they could leave now.

"Wait!" Anika suddenly stood up and called out anxiously to them.

"Mrs. Ellis, is there anything else?" Amy turned to look at her.

"I... I... You..." Anika's face turned red, but she couldn't utter a word.

What could she say?

She had already said such harsh words just now, and if she said anything else now, wouldn't she be slapping herself in the face?

She could only watch speechlessly as Amy and Madeline left together.

Her legs went weak and she sat down on the chair as she watched Amy and Madeline walk out the door.

After a while, she recalled something. With trembling fingers, she took out her phone and called Noah.

The phone was quickly connected, and she asked straight away, "Noah, do you know that Ewan is Amy's brother?"

Noah was stunned upon hearing that, "What? Ewan is Amy's brother?"

"You didn't know? How could you not know?" Anika said anxiously, "You've been with Amy for so long, and you don't even know that Ewan is Amy's brother. Y-You..."

She didn't know if she was angry or scared, as her whole body was trembling.

Ewan was introduced to her family through many connections, and it took a lot of work to hire him.

Her family's company now faced the same problems as the Ellis Family, and a slight mistake could lead to bankruptcy.

Whether her family's company could be saved depended on Ewan.

If her family's company went bankrupt because Ewan refused to help her family due to her actions, she would be the one responsible for her family's downfall.

Amy felt quite relieved when Madeline mentioned her brother's name.

Her parents, brother, and sister-in-law would never forgive her.

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Noah was confused.

"Never mind what I'm saying. Why did Amy want to break up with you?" Anika questioned, "Didn't you say you won't marry anyone but Amy? Then, why does she want to break up with you? What happened between both of you?"

"Amy wants to break up with me?" Noah asked, "Mom, how do you know that Amy wants to break up with me? Did you look for her?"

"Yes, I met her," Anika said in a trembling voice. "She asked me to return you the things you gave her before. She said she wants to break up with you and never wants to see you again in this lifetime!"

"Mom, why did you meet Amy for no reason?" Noah asked irritably, "Do you want to make things worse for me now?"

His grandfather's company had problems, and he originally wanted to help his grandfather. Who knew that because he was too eager for quick success, he made the wrong decision, resulting in his own company now having problems?

He was in a tight spot. Anika wasn't of any help to him; instead, she was causing trouble for him.

After hearing his impatient tone, Anika didn't dare to say anything else. "Okay, okay, I won't cause trouble for you. Call Amy now and coax her well. No matter what, you can't break up with her!" she said hurriedly.

"I never thought about breaking up with her," Noah replied.

"Noah, you need to think straight," she said anxiously. "It's not about whether you want to break up with Amy or not now. It's about Amy wanting to break up with you instead. I can tell that she's not just saying it. She seemed determined to break up with you, but no matter what, you have to win her back!"

If Amy and her son broke up, Ewan would definitely not help her family anymore.

Even if Ewan dared to help, would her family dare to accept it?

Only if Ewan exhausted all his efforts and planned wholeheartedly for her family could they overcome the difficulties.

If Amy and her son broke up, even if Ewan didn't go back on his word and still helped her family, if Ewan secretly sabotaged them, her family would only go bankrupt faster. Thus, her family wouldn't dare to accept his help.

By then, her family's company would be on the way to bankruptcy!

"Amy is determined to break up with me?" Noah frowned. "Mom, you must be mistaken. Amy likes me, so she won't break up with me!"
