CHAPTER 513

The family was having a great time when Madeline's phone rang.

It was a call from Amy.

"Maddie, I need to go out for a while," Amy said. "I'll be going home after I'm done. Thank you for taking care of me for the past few days."

"You're going home?" Madeline asked. "Your brother entrusted you in my care and protection while he's in Dusktown. Is it inconvenient to stay here?"

After their return from Moon Bay, she had assigned Amy a room upstairs at the office. Since Amy would be staying on the same floor as Leigh and the others, it would be easy for Leigh to look after Amy.

"It's not that," Amy said. "I'm just afraid of troubling you, Maddie."

"You won't. It's more convenient for me to take care of you if you stay here," Madeline said. "If you go home, I'll have to send people from the office over to protect you. We'll have to bother your family then."

"I don't really need anyone to protect me," Amy said, embarrassed. "My brother is making a big fuss over nothing. I just broke up with my boyfriend. I don't have any enemies, so there's no need for protection."

"You're injured, though," Madeline responded. "Your brother cares about you, but he's abroad and can't come back for the time being. This is the only way he can take care of you. Having someone by your

side to take care of you will put his mind at ease." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Amy sighed. "Alright, Maddie. If it's not too much trouble for you, then I'll stay with you for a few more days."

Her ankle and her face were still injured, so she would have a tough time explaining to her father if he saw her in this state.

Her father was hot-headed. If she couldn't explain everything in a satisfactory manner, he would definitely explode in anger. Just thinking about it gave her a headache.

It would be better to stay at the office and recover here.

Besides, before leaving Dusktown, she had told her father that she was going on a trip, which was why he had no idea that she had returned to Dusktown much earlier.

"It's no trouble at all. Stay and rest. If you need anything, just let me know! You mentioned earlier that you wanted to go out, right?" Madeline asked. "Shall I accompany you? Your ankle is still hurt. You'll need help."

"There's no need, Maddie," Amy said. "I was going to go home and meet my ex-boyfriend to return the things he gave me in the past. Since I've decided not to go back, there's no rush to return them. I'll wait until my injuries are healed."

As she had decided not to leave the office for now, she would stay in her room as much as possible and cause as little trouble as possible for Madeline.

"Alright," Madeline said with a smile. "You're our employer. Your brother paid us for this. If you need anything, just let me know. Don't be a stranger."

Although Amy replied okay, in her heart, she silently reminded herself to be polite.

After all, Madeline was not just the person entrusted by her brother to care for and protect her. Madeline was also her savior.

She dared not be rude to her savior as she would have to pay the price for it!

After ending the call with Madeline, she stared at her phone for a while.

After a moment, Amy sighed and tapped on the two words "Noah Ellis" displayed on the phone screen with her finger.

Noah Ellis was the eldest young master of the Ellis Family and the general manager of Elviations.

In the eyes of many people, she and Noah Ellis were mismatched as she was not worthy of him.

The Ellis Family was considered part of high society in Dusktown while she came from a humble background. Her parents were divorced. When her mother went abroad, she stayed with her father.

Her father was just part of the ordinary working class and he had to retire due to his injuries.

Others would find Noah to be a talented young man while she was just a poor girl. She was not worthy of Noah Ellis.

It was the same thought that Amy had.

Thus, when Noah asked her out, she kept rejecting him.

However, Noah liked her too much.

He pursued her for more than two years before she finally agreed to be his girlfriend.

Frankly speaking, she liked Noah Ellis.

However, her parents were a similarly mismatched couple and their marriage had ended in a divorce.

Amy had told herself a long time ago that she must find a boyfriend who was compatible with her in all aspects.

Noah was too outstanding, and she was just an ordinary girl. Although she had a good impression of him, she always remained rational and rejected his advances.

Still, time could change everything. A drop of water could eventually wear through a stone. After he kept pursuing her for more than two years, she finally couldn't resist the temptation and agreed to be his girlfriend.

They had only been officially dating for a little over six months when his ex-girlfriend returned from abroad.

That was when Amy realized why Noah fell in love with her at first sight. It was because she looked a

little like his ex-girlfriend.

Their story was not a fairy tale with Cinderella finding her Prince Charming. Instead, it was a melodramatic drama with substitute lovers.

"Alright," Madeline said with a smile. "You're our employer. Your brother paid us for this. If you need anything, just let me know. Don't be a stranger."

If her father found out about it, he would be so furious that he would stab Noah to death.

However, Amy was a mild-mannered and tolerant woman, just like her mother.

Her mother would not have divorced her father if not for the fact that she could no longer deal with the man anymore.

Now, if Amy had not reached her limits, she would not have chosen to break up with Noah.

The call was answered. Noah's voice was as calm and steady as ever. "You're back."

She could not help but sneer upon hearing those words.

In the few days she had been away, she had almost lost her life. However, he did not even call her once. How could he have the audacity to say that he fell in love with her at first sight and was so deeply in love with her that he wanted to marry her and grow old with her?

In the end, Amy was just a substitute. The main character was back, so Amy should obediently make way for the person.

She took a deep breath, chuckled in self-deprecation, and smirked as she said, "Let's break up, Noah."

In his spacious and luxurious office, Noah, who was sitting behind the large desk, stopped typing and frowned. "Haven't you calmed down yet?"

"Oh, no. I'm very calm," Amy answered. "Considering the past three years of our relationship, I am at my calmest today."

"Amy, can you stop with the tantrum?" He massaged his temple in annoyance. "My grandfather's company is in serious trouble. I'm busy helping him resolve this crisis. Can we talk about this later?"

"No way!" She coldly refuted. "I want this settled down. I'm breaking up with you. From now on, we will be strangers. I'll be sending the gifts you gave me in the past and my resignation letter through courier. May we never meet again."

"Stop it already, Amy. I'm truly busy! Your unreasonable behavior will only make me detest you." Noah did not believe that Amy was breaking up with him.

He thought that it was just a threat.

Based on her financial and social situation alone, it would be harder than winning the lottery for her to find another boyfriend as amazing as he was.

There were so many women who liked him and threw themselves at him.

Still, Amy was his acknowledged girlfriend, the person he planned to marry in the future. Everyone

envied her. How could she bear to break up with him?

Although he did not voice his thoughts, his tone and the words he used were telling enough to Amy.

Amy laughed at herself.

Such was the tragedy that happened with dating someone not of the same league.
