Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 51

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.
