Nathaniel Nathan, however, didn't even spare her a glance. He simply looked at Zachary Preston and said, "It isn't my place as an outsider to interfere in your family matters, Mr. Preston, but Vera is the Nathan Family's savior. Anyone who bullies her is bullying our family."
Vera Xavier was a little surprised to hear that. 'While his words didn't spell out their relationship, they came pretty close.' She stole a glance at him. He wore his usual public mask of refined indifference, his face completely expressionless.
Cara Preston, however, was so furious upon hearing this that she nearly fainted. 'Is he developing feelings for Vera? No! Absolutely not! He can only have feelings for me!' Her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging into her palms without her even noticing.
Zachary Preston was not the least bit intimidated by Nathaniel Nathan's powerful aura. He simply said, "Vera is my daughter. I won't let anyone bully her."
