Cara Preston took a deep breath, having already made a decision. She knelt directly in front of Vera Xavier and said, "Sister, I'm begging you!"
Elise Langdon's eyes were bloodshot. In her eyes, Cara Preston's actions proved she was a true friend. Because she had knelt, Elise was now willing to do anything for her!
She pulled Cara to her feet and said, "Cara, stop begging her! She's just a black-hearted scumbag!"
Crying, Cara Preston said, "Elise, if you're really forced by my sister to do that, your dad will kill you!"
Then she turned to Vera Xavier and said, "Sister, I'm begging you! If you don't let Elise go today, I'll kneel here and never get up!"
Vera Xavier hadn't expected Cara Preston to do this. Suddenly, she felt she'd underestimated Cara's shamelessness and cunning. This single act of kneeling was enough to completely win over Elise Langdon while also making Elise hate her to the bone.
But she had never cared what they thought of her.
