Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Secretly Pleased

Vera Xavier gave a meaningful smile and nodded in agreement. As the two of them reached the door, they saw Nathaniel Nathan’s car parked there, with him leaning against it.

The moment Cara Preston saw Nathaniel Nathan, her eyes lit up. She hurried over to greet him, “Nathan, good morning!”

Nathaniel Nathan didn’t even glance at her, speaking directly to Vera Xavier. “Get in. I’ll take you to school.”

Vera Xavier hesitated for a moment, but Cara Preston had already shamelessly pulled open the car door and gotten in. She then said sweetly to Nathaniel Nathan, “Nathan, thank you so much for coming all this way to take me to school.”

Nathaniel Nathan was a man of good breeding, but that didn’t mean he had a good temper. He had gotten up extra early to wait here, wanting some time alone with Vera Xavier. ’Who the hell does this Cara Preston think she is?’

After getting into the driver’s seat, he said in a cold voice, “Get out!”

Vera Xavier froze, thinking he was telling her to get out. She glanced at him and went to open her door. Cara Preston was gloating internally, but then she heard Nathaniel Nathan say, “Not you. Her!”

The smile on Cara Preston’s face froze. Nathaniel Nathan spoke again. “You, there. I don’t know you. Please open the door and get out.”

Cara Preston had never been humiliated like this before. She said in an aggrieved voice, “Nathan, how could you not recognize me? I’m Cara! I’m Vera’s biological sister!”

Nathaniel Nathan’s patience ran out. “I’ll give you a choice. Either you get out of the car yourself, or I’ll throw you out.”

From her past life, Vera knew that a word like “chivalry” simply wasn’t in Nathaniel Nathan’s vocabulary. If he said he was going to throw Cara Preston out, he would actually do it. It was precisely because of this coldness and his domineering ways that she had misunderstood him so much back then.

Cara Preston rarely got a chance to be with Nathaniel Nathan, and she wasn’t about to give it up. She turned to Vera in the passenger seat with a pitiful look. “Sister, I accidentally twisted my ankle yesterday. Can you please put in a good word for me?”

Vera Xavier cleared her throat and said, “Um, Nathaniel, could you possibly…”

“No.” Nathaniel Nathan’s voice was devoid of warmth. “I’m going to count to three. If you still can’t make a decision by then, I’ll make it for you.”

Cara Preston’s expression instantly turned nasty. She looked pitifully at Vera Xavier and pleaded, “Sister, come with me!”

Vera Xavier mulled it over for a moment. ’Being driven to school by Nathaniel like this is a little intimidating.’ So she got out of the car first, then opened the back door to let Cara Preston out as well.

Just as she was about to apologize to Nathaniel Nathan, Master Nathan’s temper truly flared.

He got out, strode over, yanked open the passenger door, and shoved Vera Xavier right back into the seat. He hit the central lock, walked around to the other side, used his key to open the driver’s door, and got in. Then he slammed on the accelerator, and the car shot away.

The series of actions was executed in one smooth motion. Vera Xavier was completely stunned through the whole ordeal. By the time she came to her senses, the car was already far down the road. She glanced in the rearview mirror, saw Cara Preston still standing by the curb in a daze, and lightly pinched her nose.

Although Vera Xavier found his behavior just now to be overly domineering and unreasonable, she couldn’t help but feel a secret thrill at being treated so differently.

’In her past life and in this one, Nathaniel Nathan had always done things so… directly.’

Vera Xavier coughed lightly and asked, “Wasn’t that a little… inappropriate?”
