Nathaniel added, "I have unconditional faith in Vera. I believe every single word she says is true, and I hope you can trust my judgment, Mom."
Hearing his words, Susan Caldwell felt a stifling frustration. 'He... What on earth did Vera do to him to make him trust her so completely!'
Brooke Mitchell glanced from Vera to Nathaniel. She couldn't quite make sense of her own feelings, only that a fire was simmering in her chest.
Nathaniel was her son, her pride. Over the years, his actions had always proven his excellent judgment. But what Vera had just done had crossed a major line for her.
But she was a rational woman and would always give her son enough face. No matter how displeased she was with Vera, she would never publicly humiliate her own son.
So, she took a deep breath and said, "Is that so? Then perhaps it really was a misunderstanding."
With that, she turned her head to look at Susan Caldwell.
