Chapter 17: She's Stolen My Hairpin
"Amy, you're nothing compared with my daughter.My daughter was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, while you're from a poor family.You should look up to her.I heard that you also learned ballet.Children from poor families like you have no right to learn ballet.’
"Mrs.Nearing, I learn ballet not because of your daughter.Your daughter and I are equal.I hope you can show some respect."
"Do you deserve it? You always imitate my daughter.Why should I respect you?"
Suddenly, a voice got her back from the muse.
"Amy?"
Vera walked over in a pure white dress, followed by several young ladies from noble families.
"Amy? The woman you just mentioned who married into the Howard Family?"
"Isn't her husband seriously ill? What a pity.She's going to be widowed at such a young age."
"People can even sacrifice their youth to climb to a higher status."
The girls next to Vera mocked as if they'd like to keep a distance from Amy.
Aglint of happiness flashed in Vera's eyes.
When she saw Amy's makeup, she felt jealous again.
Her eyes then fell on Amy's hairpin, a limited edition that had just been released.
‘How could she afford it? The Howard Family doesn't like her, so they can't buy it for her: Instantly, an evil thought flashed in Vera's mind as she curled her lips into a smile.
She had always wanted to trample Amy under her feet.
Now came the best opportunity.
"My hair clip disappeared in the dormitory not long ago.I didn't expect it to be on your hair.Give it back to me now, and I can let you go.Otherwise, I'll tell the host that a thief has sneaked into the banquet,"
Vera said so loudly that the people around her could hear it and look at Amy in an instant.
No one of them knew Amy's identity, so they believed Vera's words.
After all, such a thing happened every year.
Poor girls wanted to take this opportunity to hook up with handsome boys from rich families.
All the guests thought Amy looked pure and simple, but she turned out to be a thief.
Amy touched the hair clip that Howard gave her.
Rose, who was chatting, noticed the commotion here.
As the host of the banquet, she had to come over to have a look.
When she saw Amy, her eyes widened.
"Why are you here?"
The wedding of the Howard Family was so low-key, and the news didn't spread in the upper class.
As a result, Rose didn't know the relationship between Amy and the Howard Family.
"Auntie,’ Vera said to Rose with a smug face.
Amy's face was tinged with a touch of surprise.
She knew that Vera was from a well-off family, but she didn't know that Mrs.Nearing was her aunt.
Rose looked at Amy with disgust.
"Why did you come here? Do you know what occasion this is? Where did you get your dress? Did you forget what I told you back then? Do you want me to humiliate you in public again?"
Amy hated Rose because her grandma's illness became more serious because of this evil woman.
But she could do anything.
"Auntie, did you see her before? She's my roommate.I don't know how she could enter here.She even stole my hair clip."
Hearing that, Rose looked at Amy.
When she saw the exquisite hair clip, she reached out angrily and tried to grab it.
Amy stepped back.
"Mrs.Nearing, this is my hair clip.If you want to rob me of it, I will call the police"
Rose laughed with anger.
She thought Amy was so naive.
It was Senior Mr.Tache's birthday banquet.
Even if the police came, they had to wait outside! More and more people gathered around them.
Rose felt embarrassed and hated Amy even more.
"Vera, it's just a hair clip.If she likes it, just give it to her.It is not a luxury for you.Why do you bother to talk to a shameless woman?" Rose said to Vera.
Vera twitched her mouth, looking a bit reluctant.
But she had to behave well in front of Rose.
"Mrs.Nearing, I'm telling you, my family gave this hair clip to me.It's mine, not Vera's.”
Amy's words were loud and powerful with a dominating air.
What Vera hated the most was Amy's aura.
When she was next to her, Amy was always more awful than her.
But why? She was a lady from a rich family! She did not dare to admit that she felt inferior in front of Amy.
The first time she saw Amy, she didn't like her.
Amy looked aloof as if nothing in the world could cause any disturbance in her heart.But other women hated this look the most!
"Who could give you such a valuable thing in your poor family? I'd rather throw my things away than give them to you!"
Vera was beside herself tonight.
She couldn't suppress the desire to embarrass Amy anymore after the four years of playing her bestie! She strode forward and grabbed the hair clip away.
Looking at Amy’s messy hair, she got perverse satisfaction.
Amy looked at Vera's twisted face and compressed her lips even tighter.
"Do you want to throw it?" she then asked calmly as if she wasn't an underdog. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Vera was instantly enraged by her attitude and slammed the hair clip to the ground.
The diamonds on the hair clip shattered in an instant.
Vera had never been so unruly before, but the word "inferior" that Amy said that night had been lingering in her mind.
Her secret was exposed to her, so she had to retaliate against her! The people around were whispering about Amy.
Rose sneered.
'What a lowly and shameless woman Amy is! I can't believe she is a thief?”
"Get her out of here!"
Rose ordered with contempt as if Amy was just a piece of trash.
But as soon as she finished speaking, a voice with anger and authority resounded.
"Who dares to drive my Amy away?"
