Cara Preston's expression flickered, but Vera Xavier's eyes held a bone-chilling coldness. "A moment ago, you fell into a ditch. No one paid you any mind. I was the only one who wanted to save you. I don't know what Mom and Dad taught you, but if repaying kindness with malice is what you call 'integrity' and 'good character,' then I'd rather have none of it!"
Many people had seen what just happened. Vera Xavier had indeed tried to save Cara Preston, but she had been held back by Daisy Archer and Wesley Kane. This made them start to doubt Cara Preston's character.
"No, that's not it!" Cara Preston said hurriedly. "That's not what I meant. I just don't want you to go astray."
Vera Xavier's expression was frosty. "So, according to you, I should thank you for calling me despicable?"
