Chapter 45: She's Born a Rat in the Sewer
The nurses shuddered and quickly came in to clean up the mess on the floor.
Selma grinned and watched it in silence.
When the ward turned quiet, she slowly clenched her fists.
Hardly had she thought that Amy was being with Paul now when she became angry.
She was like a maggot in the gutter.
Her parents both had an affair with others.
Her father was such a bastard that he would punch and kick her when she was at an early age.
She had thought she would be like this for the rest of her life.
But later, it was lucky enough for her mom to enter the Howard Family and gain the trust of Old Mrs.Howard.
Only then did her life get better day by day.
If she had not seen the sun, she might have been able to stay in a place full of rubbish for the rest of her life, but she had fallen in love with the sun, even if she would be burned.
Before she had met Paul, she was humble and cowardly.
She knew very well that she was neither pretty nor tall.
Compared with other optimistic girls, she was introverted and hadn't been well-educated.
She was ineloquent and had an ordinary appearance.
To her, all the outstanding boys were like fireworks, and she was like the red carp underwater, overlooking the high city.
But Paul was different.
When she saw him, she fell in love with him.
She wanted to get close to him crazily at all costs.
She tried to go to the best college, but she failed.
She closed her eyes.
"Amy Turner."
She repeated her name over and over again as if she was going to chew up and swallow her.
However, at this time, Amy had returned to the Shallow Bay.
When she saw her luggage, she was stunned for a moment.
Tim should bring everything over.
"Amy, the room you are living in is yours from now on.I have bought all the toiletries for you.If you need something else, you can tell me.’’ Amy nodded, took the luggage, and went to the room.
There were several more wardrobes in the room.
She opened one of them and found it was full of clothes with tags.
There were at least 30 suits of clothes for each season.
The other one was full of handbags, shoes, and hats, neatly arranged.
And there was a large dressing table in her room with skincare products on it.
They were all international brands, ranging from facial cleansers to essence.
Amy was so shocked that she couldn't even close her mouth.
She had visited Jane's room before, but she hadn't expected that she could get the same treatment one day.
She looked at the skincare products on the dresser in a daze and reached out to touch them.
When in college, many girls around her would spray perfume and put on lipstick.
At that time, she envied them very much.
After all, no girl didn't love these things.
But all the money she earned had to be given to the hospital.
All year round, there was always only a bottle of CeraVe on her dresser.
Outside the door, Paul passed by her room and saw her staring at the dresser in a daze.
He stopped to look at her.
Amy happened to turn around, so they saw each other ‘’I simultaneously.”
She suddenly smiled.
"Thank you for all these things.I'll work hard at the Grand Group.’’
Besides working hard, she really didn't know what else she could repay him.
Love? He didn't want it at all.
Compared with this, winning a few more battles for the Grand J Group would make him happier.
Paul withdrew his look and walked towards his study without saying anything.
She closed the door, and they did not say anything else.She remembered when she lived in this room for the first time, she jumped down from the window in fear due to Jane's arrival.
Now she thought it was silly of her to do such a thing.
In Paul's opinion, she must be very stupid, right? She smiled, went to the bathroom to wash up, and came out to sit in front of the dresser, quietly applying the essence to her face.
The next morning, someone knocked on the door and said that Old Mrs.Howard was back so they had to have dinner in the old house tonight.
Amy felt that Tim looked at her worriedly and knew that she would be probably not easy to get along with.
She had been absent-minded at work all day and searched the Internet for information about Old Mrs.Howard.
However, there were very few introductions to the Howard Family on the Internet, even not as much as she had so far.So Amy gave up.
Paul probably wouldn't be there tonight.
After all, some members of his family hadn't known his identity.
When she got into the car in the evening, Tim spoke in front of her.
"Amy, if Old Mrs.Howard says something offensive, ignore it-’ Amy frowned.
Was she really so frightening? When she arrived at the Howard Family, she realized that many people had come today, including several uncles of Paul's, who she had never seen before.
But strangely, she had not seen Paul's father.
And during these days at the Howard Family, Paul's father had never appeared.
"Amy, come here.’’ Old Mr.Howard gave a bright smile and waved at her.
Amy felt all the people in the living room looking at her in an instant.
She compressed her lips and walked over slowly.
"Is she Amy Turner?"
Old Mrs.Howard was dressed in a Tang suit, with a hint of sadness between her brows, as if she could not untie the knot of life.
She thought that she was not satisfied with her life.
"Hello, grandma."
"Don't call me that!" Her face froze instantly.
When she heard her address, she raised her head and roared as if she had been stabbed by something.
Amy was stunned.
She had thought that with Old Mr.Howard here, she would not embarrass her.
She hadn't expected that she would deal her a head-on blow at the first encounter.
He frowned disapprovingly, thinking that she was as unreasonable as ever.
She snorted coldly and looked at Amy unfriendly.
"I think someone is really old and stupid.Such a vulgar girl could be allowed to the Howard Family.’’
She was mocking him obviously, without any mercy.This was common for the Howard Family.
Decades ago, she had fallen in love with him.
But he had given up his favorite woman under the pressure of the family and finally married her.
She had thought that she could move him over the years, but apart from children, he never had loved her.
So her deep love turned into hatred. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Old Mr.Howard knew that he owed her a lot, so he tolerated her in all respects.
"Julia Lannan!"
He couldn't help but call her name and stamped his feet in anger.
She was on the verge of tears so she turned around and said.
"If you have time to worry about your granddaughter-in-law, it's better to worry about your own health.Don't die sometime.’
Everyone forgot Amy, but she did not speak.
In this situation, it was not the time for her to say something.
Fortunately, John was there too.
He laughed, "Grandma, Amy is the granddaughter-in-law that grandpa personally chose.She must have something special.I think she's pretty.’
"Oh, I think the lady from the Mellis Family is much more impressive.And the girl of mine is a hundred times prettier than her.’
Julia was deliberately not in favor of Old Mr.Howard.She had a grudge against him.
