Chapter 51 Her Diploma
Long-awaited class reunion, long-awaited liveliness.
Isabella was a social butterfly, able to strike up a conversation with anyone using her smooth tongue.
But Avery's arrival surprised everyone.
Many classmates surrounded her, bombarding her with questions, "Avy, we heard you got married.
You're really thoughtless, not inviting us to your wedding. Do you think we're not qualified?"
Before Avery could answer, another sharp female voice chimed in, "We're qualified, but she is not.
Maybe the Adams family went bankrupt and that was why she was hiding and avoiding people."
The one speaking was Sarah Lee, who used to have a bad relationship with Avery. Back then, the Lee
family couldn't compare to the Adams family, and Sarah was always in second place.
Clearly, the beautiful, rich, and talented image belonged to her, but she was overshadowed as long as
Avery was present. So she blamed Avery for it.
Now that the Adams family had gone bankrupt and Avery, who hadn't shown up for a long time,
appeared again, Sarah naturally seized this opportunity to mock her.
The class monitor, Andrew, quickly tried to ease the tension. "Sarah, don't say things like that. People
have their ups and downs in life, just like the moon has its phases. There's no need to rub salt into
Avery's wounds. It's been a long time since we last met, so let's not bring up these unpleasant things."
Sarah rolled her eyes. She had some respect for Andrew, so she didn't continue the topic. "Fine, I won't
bring it up. But someone is really shameless. She hasn't shown up for years. Now that there's a benefit,
she wants to come back and take a share."
"What benefit? Isn't today just a class reunion?" Avery looked confused.
"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? It's because of the Love Layla Hospital
Project that everyone came here today, isn't it?"
Suddenly, Avery felt like she had been living in a daze for the past year, completely unaware of what
was happening outside.
Andrew kindly explained, "Love Layla Hospital is the biggest medical project in the past two years,
costing 700 million dollars." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Sarah sneered and said, "The goal of Love Layla Hospital is to create a world-class international
hospital, with top-notch doctors and equipment from around the world. Of course, the benefits and
treatment are far superior to other domestic hospitals. With such a good opportunity, it's natural for a
kindhearted person like our monitor to think of us first."
The other classmates started discussing excitedly. As long as they could get a job there, their salary
would triple. Of course, the requirements were high, but it would be much easier if they had
connections.
With this explanation, Avery finally understood. Andrew was from a well-known family of traditional
medicine, so he probably had a significant stake in the hospital and wanted to bring in some talented
individuals.
Back then, most students in their top A class were talented. Although it was called a class reunion, it
was also mixed with personal interests.
Isabella was probably busy breaking up with her ex-boyfriend during this period and didn't quite
understand the nature of the gathering. She probably just took Avery here to relax.
Avery wasn't like Isabella who was already holding someone's shoulder and talking about houses. She
felt awkward in this kind of situation. Andrew, on the other hand, remained as clever and considerate as
ever, not looking down on her because of her family's bankruptcy. Instead, he asked about her recent
situation with a gentle attitude.
"If you're interested, Love Layla Hospital welcomes talented doctors like you anytime."
Avery smiled helplessly and said, "Andrew, you flatter me. I didn't even graduate..."
Andrew looked puzzled, "That's not right. Although you suspended your schooling, you did have a
diploma and degree certificate."
Avery was stunned. "Andrew, you must have gotten it wrong."
"How could it be? I distributed the diplomas to all our classmates back then, but it was your family who
went to get it for you. Didn't you get the diploma?"
Avery quickly understood that Jacob must have used other means to obtain her diploma for her.
