Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Admitted

The only response Master Nathan received was the sound of Nathaniel Nathan closing the door.

Master Nathan was instantly filled with regret. ’If I’d known it would come to this, I wouldn’t have been such a good grandfather. I should have coaxed Vera to cook first, no matter what!’

’I sacrificed a delicious meal for my grandson’s happiness,’ he thought. ’What a huge loss!’

Vera Xavier ran a good distance before she stopped. Seeing that Nathaniel Nathan hadn’t followed, she finally let out a sigh of relief. ’So that’s what it feels like to tug on a tiger’s whiskers.’

’Hmm... It was terrifying, but I’ve decided to try it again next time.’

Vera got what she wanted and had even managed to tease Nathaniel again. She was in a fantastic mood.

When her grandmother saw that she had obediently come home early, she silently praised the girl’s sensibility and good judgment.

That night, Vera found an opportunity to stuff all the Training Vouchers into the jar where Cara kept her money. Of course, she wrapped the bundle with a real banknote on the very outside.

The next morning, her grandfather took Zachary Preston out for a walk in his wheelchair, while Vera accompanied her grandmother to the market.

Cara, who usually disappeared for the entire day, obediently stayed home to watch the house. The moment they left, she dug up the dirt and pulled out all the money from the jar. She could hardly contain her glee when she saw the money was still there, so she didn’t bother checking carefully to see if it was all real.

She figured that after so much time had passed, no one was paying attention to that old case anymore. She could take the money and leave, and she would never again have to put up with Vera’s attitude.

She was even more convinced that with these four hundred thousand yuan in hand, her intelligence would ensure she’d thrive. Sooner or later, she would have Vera groveling at her feet!

With the money in her hands, her confidence surged. There was nothing to be afraid of now. But before she left, she had to give Vera a special "parting gift," or she’d never be able to quell the hatred in her heart!

She just couldn’t immediately think of what kind of "parting gift" to give Vera, which left her feeling a bit conflicted.

Just then, the phone rang.

Cara answered the phone. Elise Langdon’s voice came from the other end. "Cara, I’m so pissed! I just went by the school and found something out. That little bitch Vera actually got into Veridia University! I saw her acceptance letter!"

Earlier that morning, Elise Langdon’s mother had dragged her to the school to pull some strings with a teacher, hoping to arrange for her to repeat the year and retake the college entrance exam.

Because they had been caught cheating, Elise’s mother had forbidden her from associating with Cara anymore. So, the two hadn’t met much recently, mostly keeping in touch over the phone.

Cara’s mind went blank the moment she heard that, a buzzing sound filling her ears. She had known for a while that Vera was the provincial top scorer this time, which meant she could basically get into any university she applied to.

Still, hearing it confirmed was a massive blow. ’Veridia University! That’s the best university in the country!’

’Why was I disqualified from the college entrance exam while Vera gets into Veridia University? It’s not fair!’

She stomped her foot in fury, but an idea suddenly flooded her mind. In a soft voice, she said, "Elise, don’t say that about my cousin. She got into Veridia University on her own merit."

"Merit, my ass!" Elise scoffed. "I bet she cheated to get in!"

In Elise’s mind, thanks to all of Cara’s insinuations, no matter what score Vera achieved, it absolutely had to be the result of cheating!
