Chapter 260: Chapter 260: No Need to Rush
The expression on Cara Prestonās face froze. Vera Xavier added, "But I think I need to remind you of something. If āIām sorryā could really undo all wrongs, then thereād be no need for police in this world. You could just commit a crime, say youāre sorry, and everything would be fine! After all, theyāre just words. Anyone can say them, right?"
Cara Preston felt as if her all-conquering weapon had just been bluntly exposed by Vera. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldnāt keep her composure. A crack appeared on her pitiful, damsel-in-distress face, which then twisted with venom. "Youāre the one who harmed me! I lowered myself to apologize to you, and this is how you treat me! You know I have a weak heart, and youāre still trying to provoke me! You..."
"Are you about to have a heart attack now?" Veraās lips curved into a slight smile as she cut her off. "Go on, have one for me. Iāve never seen anyone have a heart attack before! Iām actually curious!"
Cara Preston felt like Vera Xavier really was going to give her a heart attack from pure rage!
Seeing her expression, Vera Xavier smiled. "If youāre not going to have that attack, please move aside. I need to go back to my room and study."
Cara Preston stood there, not moving. Vera said coolly, "Oh, right. Thereās something I think you should know. Wesley Kane was beaten up. He was badly injured and confessed to something... something that involves you and Mom."
Cara Prestonās face instantly turned ugly. She knew perfectly well what she had incited Rona Langdon to do, so of course she knew that Rona had contacted Wesley Kane.
Vera Xavier raised an eyebrow and shoved her aside. "Cara Preston, Iāll settle the score between us eventually. Donāt be in such a hurry."
After saying her piece, she went straight back to her room and shut the door.
Cara Preston stumbled from the shove, looking disheveled and nearly falling over. Once Vera had decided to stop playing the part of a loving sister, she naturally saw no need to be polite to Cara.
Cara Preston stood in the hallway, panting. She suddenly understood. All this time, she had treated Vera Xavier like an idiot, but it turned out she was the one being played for a fool!
She had come to find Vera today intending to make her give up Nathaniel Nathan. But before she could even say a word, Vera had shut her down completely. And now she knew that no matter what she said to Vera in the future, it would never be believed.
The realization made Cara Preston absolutely livid!
The next day, on her way to school, Vera Xavier felt like someone was following her. She looked back but didnāt see anyone. It felt a little strange, but the rest of her trip to school was uneventful, so she didnāt think much of it.
At school that day, they were given their exam admission tickets and other related documents. Juliana Taylor went over the exam procedures in detail, repeatedly emphasizing that everyone should read the questions carefully, answer calmly, and double-check their work afterward. She told them not to be nervous.
Since the exam was the next day, cramming with practice problems was pointless, so the atmosphere in the class was actually a bit more relaxed than usual.
After school, Shane Caldwell asked Vera Xavier, "How confident are you about getting into Veridia University?"
Vera Xavier raised an eyebrow. "You should ask me that after Iāve taken the exam."
Shane Caldwell smiled. "Then Iāll see you at Veridia University."
Vera Xavier paused for a moment, but he had already slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked out of the classroom. She was completely baffled. Shaking her head, she didnāt give his words a second thought.
Shane Caldwell, however, clenched his fists. āI have to do well on this exam. I have to get into the same university as her. Iāll make her see that Iām the one whoās right for her!ā
PS: I highly recommend September Drakeās *The Tycoonās Dominion: Rebirth of the Master Diviner*. Itās a fantastic book, donāt miss out on this exciting read!
Thank you to "All say he like a dream" for the tip! Mwah!
