Chapter 455: Chapter 455: I Will Make You Cry
Cara Preston knew she couldn’t do anything to Vera Xavier today. Her reputation had been utterly destroyed by Vera, so she couldn’t be bothered to keep up the act. She said through gritted teeth, "Vera Xavier, for scheming against me like this, you’ll get what’s coming to you one day!"
With that, she pushed through the crowd and went back to the compound. Grandma announced loudly, "From this day forward, Cara Preston has nothing to do with our Preston Family! Whatever she does from now on is not our family’s concern! I ask you all to bear witness to this!"
Grandma felt a deep-seated disgust for Cara Preston. She also knew Cara was shameless, still trying to sling mud at the Preston Family even in this situation, so she had to make things perfectly clear.
The onlookers all nodded in agreement. After all, someone like Cara Preston was truly disgusting.
They all pointed at Cara Preston, their eyes filled with disdain.
After Cara Preston returned to the Preston Family home, Vera Xavier and Grandma watched her pack her things.
Cara Preston was seething with anger. After gathering her belongings, she prepared to leave in a huff. Seeing Vera Xavier standing at the door, she still couldn’t swallow her rage and said coldly, "Vera Xavier, don’t be so smug. One day, I’ll make you cry!"
Vera Xavier returned a smile. "Alright, I’ll be waiting."
She was already beautiful, and now, with a slight raise of her elegant brows, paired with her cool and incomparably exquisite face, that smile gave her a brilliant and dazzling radiance.
It had been a while since she’d bullied someone like this. ’This feels pretty good.’
She even hoped that Cara Preston would manage to escape her grasp this time. It would mean they’d have a chance to meet again, and only then would Cara be worthy of being her enemy.
The sight was only more jarring to Cara Preston. She snorted coldly, shouldered her bag, grabbed her suitcase, and walked out of the Preston Family home.
Vera Xavier watched Cara Preston’s retreating back, the corner of her mouth curling up slightly. In this life, Cara’s starting point was far, far worse than in her previous one. With her reputation now in ruins, she would be nothing after leaving the Preston Family.
’But after how miserably Cara made me suffer in my past life, her current fate is far from enough.’
’I’ve also prepared an ultra-deluxe combo meal for her. I hope she enjoys it.’
Seeing Vera Xavier watching Cara Preston’s back with a pensive look, Grandma thought Vera was upset because Cara had torn up her college admission letter.
So, Grandma gently comforted her, "We let her off too easy this time. But at least she’s no longer part of the Preston Family. Don’t worry about the admission letter. I’ll go with you this afternoon to see Principal Gage and ask him for help."
Vera Xavier secretively pulled her grandmother into the courtyard, then took the admission letter out of her backpack. Grandma was both shocked and delighted, her voice involuntarily rising a few notches, "The admis—"
Vera Xavier quickly put a finger to her lips in a shushing motion. Grandma immediately understood and lowered her voice. "Didn’t Cara Preston tear up the admission letter? How do you still have one?"
The corners of Vera Xavier’s mouth turned up. She said softly, "That’s because I knew Cara would definitely try to pull something with it, so I took the actual letter out early on. What Cara tore up was just the envelope."
Grandma was stunned for a moment. Vera added in a low voice, "If I hadn’t done this, I bet she would have kept freeloading in our house, constantly plotting to cause trouble."
Grandma reached out and poked her on the forehead. "You clever little imp, you really had me worried sick today!"
