Vera Xavier was now thankful she hadn't known Laura White for long, and they had no real emotional attachment. Otherwise, this would have been truly disheartening.
She said flatly, "I should say the same to you. There's always someone better out there. I didn't think it was a big deal that you had a problem with me, but Shirley and Fiona have nothing to do with this. You really didn't need to drag them into it."
"That's because they're both stupid," Laura White said coldly. "I'm clearly superior to you, yet they always take your side. More importantly, Shirley Ewing dared to lay a hand on me today, so she has to pay the price. As for Fiona Wright... since she's such good friends with you, she can just get expelled with you!"
Hearing this, Vera Xavier realized deep down that she had completely misjudged Laura White. 'So she really does have such a dark side to her.'
