Never Late, Never Away Chapter 733
Evelyn choked as she continued talking. “My brother was the person who loved me the most and cared for me since I was a child. He would promise me anything I asked for and carry all the burdens alone. He has never let me suffer.”
That was why she hated Vivian in the first place. Not only had she taken away her position as the Morrison family’s precious daughter, but she also took away her only family, the person who had cared for her most. Without Benedict, no one would care for her that way anymore.
“However, I found out about this in the end.” Evelyn continued, “One day in school, I fought with a girl with whom I didn’t see eye to eye but behave in front of me. However, she acted rather arrogantly toward me that day. Not only did she say that the Morrison Group was going to file for bankruptcy very soon, she told me that I would lose my status and the privileges. In short, I wouldn’t be able to treat her like I used to.”
Evelyn could still remember how arrogant that girl was to her then. Every time she thought about her, she felt compelled to go up and scratch her ugly face!
“I was very angry at that time. After having a big argument with her, I ran home and wanted to ask Benedict about everything. However, when I arrived home, I saw him pleading and desperately talking to someone in the living room. I tried to eavesdrop on their conversation out of curiosity. Then, I discovered that person was an investor in the Morrison Group. After my parents passed away, he was not sure that my brother would be able to manage the Morrison Group well, so he wanted to retract his money. Ben tried every way to persuade him. He promised the investors he would manage Morrison Group well and not lose their money by any means. But not only was that person not interested, but he also said he wanted to withdraw his investments and Ben must compensate him for any breach of contract. Until the investor left, I saw Ben sitting on the sofa alone, gazing at the effigy of my parents. As he mumbled to himself, he said he was useless for not being able to protect his sister and the Morrison Group.”
Evelyn said with tears streaming down her face as her emotions had been completely caught up in the memories. The period back then in her life was definitely one of her most unforgettable experiences.
