Chapter 497
When this thought emerged, even Ethan was taken aback. He didn’t expect that he
already understood Bane so well. He’s capable of doing such things, indeed.
“So, who has the authority to do that now?” Old Mr. Morison asked again after his anger
subsided.
“I’m not quite sure,” Ethan replied. Although Bane still gave him many things to do, they
were limited to certain areas. Once it went beyond that scope, no one would listen to
him.
“You’re not sure? You’ve been by his side for so long. How can you not know? Do you
think I’m old, so I’m easily fooled?”
Yet, no matter how infuriated Old Mr. Morison was, Ethan remained calm. “The Morison
Corporation used to be under your control, Old Mr. Morison. How would I dare to fool
you? If you don’t believe me, you can investigate it yourself.”
Seeing his composed demeanor, Old Mr. Morison exchanged a look with his assistant.
In response, his assistant shook his head.
Old Mr. Morison pressed his lips together and finally dropped the subject. “Fine, since
you no longer have any power now, I’ll investigate. But you better not lie to me, or else….”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but it was evident what he intended to say.
Ethan didn’t argue further, but before hanging up the phone, he couldn’t help but say,
“Old Mr. Morison, if you truly want to save Miss Selwyn, I hope you can do it as soon as
possible.”
At his words, Old Mr. Morison’s eyebrows knitted tightly. “What do you mean?”
“I’ve said all I can say.” After saying that, Ethan quickly hung up the phone.
As Old Mr. Morison listened to the busy tone coming from his phone once again, his
frown deepened. “They’ve all grown up, haven’t they? My grandson hanging up on me is
one thing, but Ethan is just an assistant. Who does he think he is to hang up on me?!”
Hearing that, the assistant beside him awkwardly explained, “Calm down, Old Mr.
Morison. I think he doesn’t know much, so he could only say so much.”
When this was mentioned, Old Mr. Morison became puzzled. “What do you think he
meant by saying I should save that Selwyn girl as soon as possible if I want to? Is he
implying that Bane would harm her?”
“I don’t think he will. After all, everyone knows how well Mr. Morison treats Miss Selwyn,
but…”
“But what? Speak up if you have something in mind.”
Chapter 497 There’s Still a Chance to Turn Things
His assistant hesitated for a moment before delicately saying, “Seeing that Mr. Morison
refused to let her go, it’s likely that Miss Selwyn is not there willingly. My point is that
they might argue during this process, and perhaps Miss Selwyn might get hurt, or Mr.
Morison might become furious. This is just my speculation, of course. It may not be the
case.”
Everyone knew that Old Mr. Morison cherished his grandson. When his son was ruined,
the incident left him extremely embarrassed. Since then, he had placed all his hopes on
his grandson, Bane. Also, considering his advanced age, no one could know how long
he would live. So, even if his assistant wanted to speak ill of Bane, he had to be careful
with his words.
Little did he know that Old Mr. Morison would say, “Your speculation might be right.”
The assistant was surprised.
“I can’t let this brat go on like this. Book me a plane ticket now. I need to go there
myself.”
“Now?” His assistant tried to confirm.
“Yes. Book the latest flight. I need to go find him now.” My son has already been ruined.
I can’t watch my grandson meet the same fate.
Chapter 497 There’s Still a Chance to Turn Things
After Ethan hung up the phone, he glanced at the door of Victoria’s room. I’ve done
what I could. Let’s see whether it will work.
As he was thinking, a figure approached from the front. When he saw that it was Bane,
he greeted him with a nod. “Mr. Morison.”
After Bane walked up to the door, he stood still with his gaze fixed on the door. Without
a word, he pursed his lips, seemingly lost in his thoughts.
Since he didn’t speak, Ethan patiently waited by his side.
After a while, Bane asked, “How is she?”
Hearing that, Ethan was surprised. Didn’t he just check on her? Why is he asking again?
“She should be the same as before,” he replied.
“Is that so?” Bane’s voice was very low. It was as if he was asking himself instead of
Ethan.
“Ethan,” he suddenly called out.
Hearing that, Ethan looked up. “Yes, Mr. Morison?”
At this moment, Bane’s gaze seemed to penetrate through the door, and he was looking
at Victoria inside. “Do you think she would hate me now if she hadn’t lost her memory?”
Chapter 497 There’s Still a Chance to Turn Things
At his question, Ethan pressed his lips together. After some thought, he answered, “You
have been very good to her and have taken care of her over the past five years. I don’t
think she would hate you whether she lost her memory or not.”
“She… wouldn’t hate me?” Bane chuckled bitterly. “Why do I feel like she hates me now?
That’s why she refuses to eat and tortures me this way.”
Ethan looked at him for a long while before saying, “Isn’t Miss Selwyn torturing herself?”
When Bane heard that, his gaze shifted toward Ethan. “What do you mean?”
“Miss Selwyn has lost her memory and doesn’t remember your kindness toward her
over the past five years, but why did she choose to stay here? Apart from fulfilling her
promise, why did she stay? And there’s one more thing; haven’t you ever doubted it until
now, Mr. Morison?”
“What?”
“Besides the incident where Miss Selwyn accidentally bumped into the female college
student at the airport, which led to the investigation by two police officers, why haven’t ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
the police come here when things have come to this point?” Suddenly, Ethan paused
for a moment as if to deliberately remind him about something. “Have you never
thought about the reason?”
At this moment, Bane’s expression turned grim. It was evident that he had already

realized it, but he didn’t answer. He just stared at Ethan intently.
“This shows that even if you are different now, she still remembers your kindness in her
bones and has never thought of calling the police. This includes… Mr. Cadogan.” Why
are the police unaware when everyone knows that Miss Selwyn is here? Because back
in their younger days, they were all friends who used to sit together, laughing and
having a good time. That’s why everyone wants to give him a chance to turn things
around. Even though he has indeed made a mistake this time, everyone hopes he can
change, so they have been giving him opportunities over and over again.
“Just like Miss Selwyn this time. She may have lost her memory, but why didn’t she
choose to report it to the police? It’s because deep down, she still subconsciously
wants to give you a chance to turn things around.” As Ethan spoke these words, he kept
his eyes on Bane’s eyes and expression, trying to capture the emotions he wanted from
his countenance.
Just then, he saw Bane’s eyes flicker slightly. It seems like my words have touched
something within him. Ethan took the opportunity and quickly said, “That’s why I’ve
been telling you that as long as you’re willing to turn things around, there will always be
a chance.”
