Chapter 15: Something Lost Yet Not Regained

Vera was so angry that she wanted to go to them for an argument, but Amy stopped her.

"Forget it.There are many other empty seats."

Vera could only give up and follow Amy with her lips shut.

"Amy, what about your upcoming speech? I shouldn't have gone to buy water.I'm so sorry” Vera
apologized with a worried look on her face.

Amy lowered her head, flipped through the book in her hand, and calmly said, "Vera, there is
something that can’t be found after being lost.So there is no need."

Vera didn't speak again as her face stiffened.

Soon the hall was crowded.

At this time, several leaders came onto the stage, sending all the audience into silence.

Vera moved her butt around in her seat and looked at Amy anxiously.

"Why is she still calm after losing her speech draft?’

"Next, we have Amy Turner deliver a speech."

The teacher smiled at Amy.

Amy stood up and walked slowly towards the stage under everyone's gaze.

"Hello, everyone,’ Amy bowed and said calmly.

The speech draft was not important to Amy because she had memorized the content.



Vera looked at Amy on the stage with a sullen face and clenched her hands into fists.

It was admitted that Amy was competent since she could make such a wonderful speech without a
draft.

Everyone in the hall applauded.

After finishing her speech, Amy bent over and bowed again before walking down.

"Amy, you're so good.I knew you could make it," Vera sincerely congratulated.

Amy smiled and didn't say anything.

Suddenly, everyone in the hall curiously looked back at the door when a few bodyguards in black came
in, wondering who it was.

After over ten minutes, the school principal walked in, making them disappointed.

"I believe you're waiting for the President of the Grand Group.Unfortunately, he has something urgent
to handle, so he can't come here.But he has asked his assistant, Mr.Nam, to help him deliver the
speech.If you have any questions about the interview of the Grand Group, you can ask him."

Amy was shocked when she saw who the assistant was.

‘If Tim is the assistant of the Grand Group, then that man should be the president” She immediately put
on an understanding smile.

Graduates were most concerned about employment.

They all wanted to work in the Grand Group, a top company around the country.

However, it was extremely difficult.



Tim briefly explained the business scope of the Grand Group and its business advantages and then
began to answer the questions of the graduates.

"Amy, do you think this assistant is very good-looking?" Vera asked.

She blushed and was enchanted by Tim when looking at him.

What did Tim look like? Probably the first time people saw him, people would instantly feel he was a
business elite.

He wore a pair of golden glasses and spoke in a gentle and soft voice.

As a result, the female students below the stage were screaming.

After Tim finished talking, many of the girls wanted to surround Tim.

However, he walked out of the hall under the protection of a few bodyguards.

At this time, the principal walked over to Amy and looked at her with satisfaction.

"I was going to introduce you to Mr.Howard.Unexpectedly, he didn't come.Come to see Tim with
me.He's in charge of the interview of the Grand Group."

Vera, who was ignored by the principal, was unsatisfied and followed Amy quietly because she also
wanted to see Tim.

The Legal Department of the Grand Group was highly strict in terms of hiring new employees.

Although the Imperial City University had ranked first in the country for many years, very few of its
graduates could work in this department.



The Legal Department of the Grand Group was designed to solve all kinds of disputes for the Grand
Group.

Some employees came from domestic and some from abroad.

In other words, top students from various famous schools in the world worked in this department.

The principal wasn't so confident about Amy, so he wanted to introduce her to Tim.

"Tim, this is Amy Turner, a law major.I told you, this girl is very excellent." The principal said.

Vera was embarrassed because nobody noticed her.

She slowly raised her head and looked at Tim with an admiring look in her eyes.

"Hello, I'm Amy Turner's friend.My name is Vera Nearing."

She felt Tim was very handsome and wanted him to pay attention to her.

The principal was unhappy instantly.

It was embarrassing.

Tim shook Vera's hand with a smile.

"Hello, you're very cute."

Vera became happy instantly with her bright eyes and began to chatter, "Thank you.The principal is
right.Amy is really excellent.Tonight, she delivered a perfect speech without her draft.She has won a lot
of scholarships in the past four years.What's more, she..."

The principal became angry and interrupted Vera, "Enough, Vera."



Vera cutely stuck out her tongue.

"Sorry, I'm just a chatterbox.Amy, you can talk to Mr.Nam.With the principal's recommendation, maybe
you can work in the Legal Department of the Grand Group.”

The principal was even more embarrassed because Vera spoke out his purpose.

Tim raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "There is no need.Amy has passed the interview.She can go to
work whenever she wants.Principal, you've cultivated a good student"

When hearing these words, Vera had mixed feelings.

Vera was stunned for a while and pouted unhappily, "Amy, congratulations! I know you can make it.But
how could you hide it from me? You're my bestie."

A glint of jealousy and resentment flashed in her eyes as she held Amy's hand.

"Amy, I'll take you back.I hope we can work together soon,"

Tim smiled as he opened the car door for Amy.

Just as Amy stepped forward, Vera said, "Amy, how about I go back with you?"

She thought that Amy would agree, so she planned to get into the car first.

"Vera." Amy stopped her.

"Do you remember what I just said?"

Vera frowned and did not understand what she meant.

"Some things can't be found back after being lost,’ Amy explained.



Vera was awkward.

"Amy, what do you mean?" Amy didn't even bother to shoot a glance at Vera before getting into the car.

"I appreciate you treated me sincerely before, but I won't forgive the one forever who has betrayed me.”
Vera answered with contempt.

"What about Carlos? Thoughhe has betrayed you, you're still missing him.Amy, it seems that you only
forget your so-called dignity in front of men.’ Amy felt a lump in her throat.

She couldn't explain or retort.

Seeing her silence, Vera chuckled with contempt.

Her gaze was like a sharp knife, stabbing Amy's heart.

"I dislike you.I helped you just so as to show you that it's no use studying hard.No matter how
outstanding you are, your family background will be unchanged.Amy, from the first day you entered the
dorm, you have fascinated everyone.Only by following you can I get a little attention.Indeed, you're
distinguished, but so what? You're just an ordinary girl of humble origin." Vera sneered.

The principal and Tim both held their tongue because it was improper for them to interfere in the fight
between women.

What Vera said was cruel yet irrefutable.

Tim was wondering how Amy would respond to it.

Amy stared at Vera with surprise that her bestie of four years would bear so much resentment against
her.



She didn't even notice it until now because she had been busy looking after her ill grandma.

"Vera, if you want to draw attention, what you need to beat isn't me, but your vanity and desire to play
the peacock.I suddenly realized you did all this just to show off your nobler background.So from now
on, we're no longer friends.That's it.Bye."

Amy replied resolutely.

Tim really wanna applaud Amy's excellent retort.

Pale around the gills, Vera staggered back in dumbness.

Amy turned her head and looked ahead, "Here is one last thing.A truly endearing girl never flaunts her
experience because she has no sense of inferiority.’

The single word "inferiority" touched Vera on the raw.

She trembled as if the skeleton in her closet got divulged.

Vera watched the car drive away and clenched her fists.

In the car, Amy stared at the passing streetscape dazedly with eyes flickering, absorbed in thought.

Meanwhile, Tim was driving quietly, not interrupting her contemplation.

Tim parked at the gate of the Howard Family and got off to open the door for Amy.

"Amy, please.’ Amy nodded and walked into the mansion as if she had regained her senses.

She was sad to end her friendship with Vera.

But what made her sadder was that Vera disappointed her.



Vera snitched on her to Mrs.Tache, trampled on her book, and took away her speech draft.

Amy gave her a chance, but she didn't cherish it.

‘‘That's reasonable.One only betrays for zero or heaps of times” Amy smiled wryly.

Amy found it was very quiet in the house.

Only the servants were doing their work.

She then asked one of the servants about what had happened and knew Old Mr.Howard came back.

No wonder that man was absent.

She then went straight to her room because she had no appetite.

At about seven o'clock, she received a phone call from Old Mr.Howard.
