The confident, composed smile on Cara Preston's face froze the moment she saw the question on the test paper. Her expression turned quite ugly.
Vera Xavier clasped her hands to her chest. "Cara, you have such a strong grasp of the basics. I'm sure this problem is no trouble for you. Come on, hurry and show us how it's done."
After she finished, she turned to Nathaniel Nathan and said, "Cara is really brilliant. She always placed in the top three in our class on exams. Even if she messed up this time, her fundamentals are still solid. Let's see how she solves it!"
Fine beads of sweat broke out on Cara Preston's forehead. She instantly realized she had bragged too much. Her original plan was to put Vera Xavier down a peg and show off for Nathaniel Nathan, but now it looked like she was the one who was going to make a fool of herself.
Vera Xavier looked at her and said, "Go on, Cara. I'm waiting for you to enlighten me!"
