Chapter 6: Pipe Dream
Chapter 6: Pipe Dream
The next morning, Amy sat at the table and saw Laura's eyes were swollen.
Even the concealer couldn't even cover her deep dark circles.
She asked politely, "Are you okay?"
But Laura didn't appreciate her care.
"Mind your own business! I'm telling you, I will never take you as my sister-in-law!"
Hearing her words, Amy stopped talking and continued eating.
After breakfast, the servants began to get busy, and the quiet mansion became slightly lively.
Rachel sat on the sofa with a cup of tea in her hand.
"Where are you going?"
She couldn't help asking when she saw Amy going out with a bag in her hand.
"Mrs.Tache, I want to go to the hospital to visit my grandma."
Rachel frowned and took a sip of tea.
"Remember to take a shower when you come back.Don't bring back the bad luck from the hospital.You are now a member of the Howard Family, so you have to always pay attention to your identity.Don't do anything that will bring shame to the Howard Family.’ NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"I heard you hadn't graduated yet.There are lots of men inthe school.Remember to stay away from those bad men."
Indeed, Amy had not graduated now.
The graduation ceremony was right in a week.
She didn't say anything after a while of hesitation.
It was known to all that the atmosphere of her college was pretty good.
But Rachel thought Amy was a meek, timid, and unassertive girl.
Her prejudice against her could not be changed overnight.
‘‘So let it be.I can be free from much trouble “
Rachel was satisfied with Amy's sensibleness, so she let the girl go.
After leaving the gate, Amy felt relieved and took a taxi directly to the hospital.
Because her grandma was so seriously ill, she couldn't transfer her to another hospital to hide from the Turner Family.
Shortly after Amy paid off all the medical bills, she was informed that her grandma could be transferred to a premium ward.
The premium ward at the Imperial City Central Hospital was in short supply.
Many people couldn't get one even if they had a large sum of money.
Soon, she figured out the reason.
It was because of that black card.
Although she had known that the Howard Family was powerful, she had never thought that they could get special services in such a hospital.
After getting her grandma settled, Amy stood near the bed and felt relaxed.
Her grandmother would recover soon only if she could get the right kidney.
She stayed in the ward and watched her grandma for a while.
As she was about to leave, her phone rang.
It was Myrna’s call.
Amy didn't pick it up but just looked at the flickering screen for a while.
She thought that the phone caller was about to run out of patience, and then she answered the phone.
"What the hell are you doing? What took you so long?" Myrna scolded her angrily.
"What's up?"
"You have to come to see Mia more often.As you know, ordinary people can't get access to Howard's house.It's said that John Howard is yet married.If you meet him, you should say something good about your sister in front of him.If they can get married, we will take care of your grandmother, and you'll also have someone accompany you there..."
Mia was Myrna's biological daughter, young and beautiful, but extremely picky.
Amy had known her thoughts before she finished speaking.
Mia's dating resume, quite literally, could be written in a thick book.
Promiscuous though she was, she still wanted to find an excellent man to marry.
The cousin of Paul, John Howard, was a handsome and famous playboy who had seen all kinds of beautiful women.
So Amy didn't want to play matchmaker between John and Mia.
"Mrs.Becker, take a closer picture of the two.John, the rich boy, graduated from one of the world's top universities, while Mia has never studied hard since high school.Will John choose Mia?"
That outright remark made Myrna angry.
However, she couldn't refute it.
A glint of viciousness flashed in her eyes, she grasped the phone tightly.
"Amy! How dare you talk to me like that? Do you want your grandmother to die right now?"
"I just want you to wake up from your pipe dream.’’ Amy said coldly, "Even if the sons of a large family are not so good, they won't marry a stupid woman.John will not like her, let alone Senior Mr.Howard"
In the Howard Family, Nicholas had absolute say in every decision.
The woman he didn't like couldn't get into his mansion, let alone date his grandson.
Myrna's chest rose and fell rapidly.
But she suppressed the anger after thinking of something.
"You'll return after two days, and I will talk to you in detail then."
After hanging up the phone, Myrna immediately got through to the hospital, learning that Amy had changed the ward for her grandmother.
‘‘It turns out that she has got backed and wants to get rid of me.” Myrna sneered.
Unfortunately, from the day she approached Amy.
She was destined to be nothing but a stepping stone for the Turner Family, and she had no chance to fight against them.
After hanging up the phone, Amy should go to Howard's now, but she didn't want to go back.
She would rather stay in the street for a while longer.
That place was nothing but a magnificent cage for her.
"Sir, that woman seems to be Mrs.Howard."
In Bentley, Tim's hands were holding the steering wheel.
He was Paul's assistant, so he naturally knew his newly married wife.
There was a traffic accident ahead and the cars on the street stopped moving.
Hearing this, Paul turned his head and saw her face.
It was scorching heat outside.
But she was sitting straight ina burning chair, looking absent-minded.
No woman from a large family would be exposed to the scorching sun.
They would choose to hold an umbrella even for a short walk.
She sat motionless there as if she could not feel the burning sun.
Paul's brow furrowed.
His wife seemed to have a lot on her mind.
He looked out of the translucent glass, no emotions in his eyes, for a while, and then looked away.
He could see her expression while she could see nothing but the black glass.
"Sir, shall I invite her into the car?" The traffic started to flow, so Tim made a well-timed question.
"No"
Paul lowered his head and continued to look at the statement in his hand, looking dignified and unapproachable.
Tim did not dare to say more, knowing that his boss was not satisfied with the marriage planned by his grandfather.
Amy was startled by the ringing of her phone.
Her heart fluttered at the sight of the unfamiliar number.
"Excuse me, is this Miss Turner? You have passed the first selection.The first round of interviews will be held this afternoon.I hope you can attend on time."
That was good news to Amy.
She finally smiled and said, "Okay."
Only after she rose to her feet did she feel a little dizzy because of having been exposed to the sun for so long.
She checked her dressing and found it suitable for the interview.
At this time, a large number of students graduated and hunted for jobs.
She sent her resume to the Grand Group last night.To her surprise, it gave her a response so quickly.
