Cara Preston felt there was a hidden meaning behind Vera Xavier's words, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Once the commotion died down, Rona Langdon finally emerged from her room. She shot Vera Xavier a cold glare, finding her more and more of an eyesore. Perhaps it was because of Zachary Preston's obvious anger, but Rona, for once, didn't fly into a screaming rage. Instead, she obediently went to make dinner.
Vera Xavier knew all about Rona Langdon's petty schemes but chose not to expose them. Zachary Preston, on the other hand, rebuked Rona, "Look at what you've turned Cara into."
"The girl's grown up now. She has a mind of her own. In this house, does Cara or Vera ever listen to a word I say?" Rona Langdon immediately deflected all the blame.
Zachary Preston was furious. He glared at her, but she acted as if she hadn't seen it. Instead, she turned and shot a vicious glare at Vera Xavier. In response, Vera simply raised an eyebrow and smiled.
