Chapter 509
"So, you''ve been at the foot of the hill from noon up until now?" Ewan''s voice was instantly raised.
"Yes…" Amy said weakly. "Fortunately, some kind souls saved me, or I wouldn''t have made it out even
till now…"
She had said everything she should and should not say, so she decided to juste clean.
"You…" Ewan was both angered and scared. "What about your boyfriend? You were showing off a few
days ago about how your boyfriend took some time off just to go on a trip with you on your birthday,
right? Why are you all alone now?"
"We got into a fight…" Amy expressed sullenly, "We''ll probably break up…"
"That jerk bullied you?" His already cold and angered expression turned even angrier.
She was silent for a moment. "Ewan, it''s not easy to tell who''s right and who''s wrong in terms of
rtionships. Perhaps we''re just… not suited for each other, so we can''t stay together. We''re just
lovers, not a married couple, so it''s normal to break up. Don''t get so worked up about it, Ewan."
He took a few deep breaths, suppressing the heartache and fury within his heart as he said, "I still have
something to work on over here and I''ll only be able to go back after a few days, but now that you''re
alone—"
At the thought of Amy all alone and helpless in the country, he felt both heartache and guilt.
Originally, when their parents divorced, he was sent with his father, whereas his sister would follow his
mother. However, due to his fight with his father, his mother was worried that if he stayed with his
father, his father would abuse him. So, after discussing with his sister, his mother took him away and
his sister was left with his father.
Frankly, girls should be with their mothers. Mothers were more sensitive, and since they were both
females, the mother could take better care of the daughter. As for his father, he was an irritable man.
He rarely thought twice about his actions and he was not skilled at anything at all.
As his sister lived with his father all these years, she had endured a lot of injustice… and all the
injustice was originally meant for him to endure.
Every time he thought of that, he wished that he could raise his sister like his own daughter as he did
not want his sister to suffer any bit of injustice.
However, in recent years, his mother''s health was failing, so he had to stay abroad to take care of his
mother.
Since his father refused to leave the country, his sister had to stay in the country to take care of his
father. That was how the two siblings were physically separated.
Except for the asional business trip where he could see his sister, the siblings had very few chances
to see each other in a year.
His sister''s personality took after his mother''s. She waspliant and considerate as she would hide
her troubles more often than not. No matter when he contacted her, she would im that she was fine
and nothing was wrong.
However, a young girl taking care of an irritable old man would definitely face a lot of sorrow and
injustice, so how could she be fine?
After a lot of effort, his sister finally got a boyfriend. He and his mother both hoped that his sister could
get a good man who could take care of his sister in their stead.
Some time ago, the couple even started discussing marriage. His sister even asked him and his mother
to make time to return so that they could meet her boyfriend and have a marriage talk. Yet, they
suddenly wanted to break up now.
That jerk must have bullied my sister!
He was so pissed that his face turned pale as he kept shivering. He wished he could rush home and
tear that jerk apart, but he could not.
Some time ago, he received a merger and acquisition case. He had been so busy these days that he
could only get four to five hours of sleep per day. His work was at a crucial point right now, so he could
not possibly leave no matter what.
He needed at least four days before he could wrap things up and it might even take longer than that.
But with how she is now, how can I rest assured?
He took a few deep breaths, trying hard to calm himself. Then, he thought of an idea that could
probably work. "Where are you right now? I''m still busy with work, so I can''t go back in the next few
days. I''ll get my friend to take care of you for me."
"It''s okay, Ewan. I''m alright. I just scratched my face a little, but I''m fine otherwise. You don''t have to get
someone to take care of me." Amy hated causing trouble for others and she despised being someone
else''s burden.
"Is that so?" Ewan looked at her, then narrowed his eyes dangerously. "What about the kind person
who lent you their phone? They saved you, so I have to thank them properly!"
Amy fell silent.

She sensed that something was going wrong, but she could not keep silent about it and stop her
brother from thanking the kind person who saved her.
If she did, she might seem too childish and unkind. Hence, she could only say to the bodyguard near
her, "Sorry, but can you ask your young mistress toe here for a bit? My brother says he wants to
thank her for saving me."
The bodyguard nodded. "Please wait a moment."
His sister''s personality took after his mother''s. She waspliant and considerate as she would hide
her troubles more often than not. No matter when he contacted her, she would im that she was fine
and nothing was wrong.
Soon, Madeline and Sebastian went over to Amy.
After Amy exined her brother''s intentions and received Sebastian and Madeline''s permission, she
aimed the camera lens at the couple.
"Miss Taylor?" After making out Madeline''s face, Ewan was surprised.
"Mr. Bet?" Madeline''s shock was the same as his. She never thought that she actually knew the
brother of the girl she rescued.
"I never expected that you''re the one who saved my sister, Miss Taylor." In just an instant, an idea
popped up in Ewan''s mind. "Thank you for saving my sister. I''m indebted to you. When I wrapped up
work on my end, I''ll return as soon as possible. I''ll thank you properly then, Miss Taylor!"
"You''re too kind, Mr. Bet," said Madeline. "I didn''t do much, anyway. It was a small matter. You
don''t have to take it so seriously."
"It may be insignificant to you, Miss Taylor, but you''ve saved my sister''s life. Thank you so much for
helping her." After the long string of thanks, Ewan changed the subject. "May I ask, Miss Taylor, if
you''re still epting work for your office?"
"Yes, I am," she replied, "but we''ve closed our office in Wingston. I''ve now opened up another office in
Dusktown."
The name of the office was still the same and the employees had not changed either. However, after
switching locations, they had yet to rise in fame due to the new environment, so their business was
practically terrible now!
Fortunately, she was not counting on the office to feed her family. Otherwise, the office would have
closed down a long time ago.
"It doesn''t matter. As long as you still ept jobs." Ewan asked, "Miss Taylor, do you mind if we
discuss something in private?"
Madeline looked at Sebastian, who then smiled and nodded at her.
"Yes, sure." She took the phone to a deste spot nearby. "Please, proceed."
"I want to entrust my sister to you, Miss Taylor. Before I fly back here, please take care of her," Ewan
said. "I have a very important merger and acquisition case on my hands, and thepany''s existence
depends on it, so I can''t go back at the moment. Still, I''m very worried about my sister, so I hope you
can ept this request of mine, Miss Taylor, and take care of my sister for me. I can pay you double or
more; money isn''t a problem!"
Madeline fell silent. Oh, people will definitely take advantage of your wallet if you say things like that,
dear customer!
Nevertheless, she was a business operator, so she loved getting customers who were generous with
their money.
