Revenge After Death

Chapter 244

At first, I suspected that Ewan was secretly some big shot. But then, I saw how respectit he was toward Steven. Later, I suspected that Ewan was using Stever’s position as the Lincoln family’s heir and his mental disability to give himself free rein.

“You’re still young, so you don’t know how evil people can be.” Ewan didn’t really answer my question. He seemed to be changing the topic, but there was an underlying meaning to his words that I didn’t really get.

“My father died in an accident at a construction site when I was a teenager, and my sister was only five at the time. My mother abandoned us and fled after taking the compensation for my father’s death.

“From then on, my sister and I only had each other. I studied and worked at the same time. I had to pick up trash just to make a living. Thankfully, there were kind people in our lives who helped us out of the slums.”

Ewan walked beside me as we headed to the courtyard. He looked at the weeds poking out from the ground and pulled them out with a smile. “My sister was beautiful. Everyone said she was lucky that she could marry James.”

At the time, Ewan’s sister had indeed married above her station by marrying James.

I looked at him in surprise. James had indeed had a wife, but I never expected her to be

Ewan’s sister.

“If I wasn’t working as Mr. Lincoln’s assistant, James would have never met my sister.” Ewan sneered. “He married her, but it was likely only because he wanted me to take his side–he thought Mr. Lincoln Senior had high hopes for me. It was too bad that he was a

scumbag, though.”

His gaze landed on my belly. “When my sister was six months pregnant, her looks and figure took a turn for the worse because of her hormones. James didn’t like that she was no longer pretty, so he had affairs left, right, and center.
