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.

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.
