The CEO's Wife Is a Medical Master Chapter 32: Brainwashing Master

’Cara Preston has so real nerve! If she hadn’t been trying to drag down with her, none of this would have happened in the first place.’

Vera Xavier said with an innocent look on her face, "I was just telling the truth. Should I have lied? Ever since we were little, our teachers have always stressed the importance of being honest. Am I supposed to admit to sothing I know nothing about?"

Cara Preston said pitifully, "I only said that because I didn’t want you to be ostracized by the entire class. I can’t believe you’d misunderstand like this!"

Finishing her sentence, she added with tears in her eyes, "Sister, you’ve changed! You were never like this before! Even if you were a bit slow and couldn’t see my good intentions, you would never have just thrown them back in my face."

Vera Xavier had to hand it to her. ’Does Cara Preston really think I’m an idiot?’

’In a situation like today’s, if I took the bla for this, I’d definitely be expelled.’

Elise Langdon stood up and said, "Vera Xavier, how can you be so an? Bullying your sister like that!"

Several other girls nearby imdiately chid in to agree.

Wiping her tears, Cara Preston said, "Don’t be so harsh with my sister. She is from the countryside, after all, and hasn’t been in the city for long. Plus, she’s not very bright, so she has trouble understanding a lot of things."

The girls nearby erupted in jeering laughter.

Elise Langdon also sneered, "I almost forgot. Vera Xavier is just a country bumpkin. She’s stupid, dense, and crass—she doesn’t even know the first thing about manners!"

’Vera knew that in her past life, Elise Langdon had been completely brainwashed by Cara Preston. The two of them were thick as thieves, so there was no point in saying anything to Elise.’

Unexpectedly, Cara Preston wiped away a tear and said, "Elise, don’t talk about my sister like that. She’s actually a very nice person."

"Cara, you’re just too kind!" Elise Langdon concluded. "She bullies you every day, and you still defend her!"

With that, she rapped on Vera Xavier’s desk. "Vera Xavier, you’re not to bully Cara anymore!"

’Elise Langdon must have rocks for brains,’ Vera thought, not bothering to grace her with a response.

Just as Elise Langdon was about to blow up at being ignored, the class president, Shane Caldwell, walked over and said, "Have you all forgotten what Mr. Taylor just said?"

Elise Langdon gritted her teeth and scoffed, "The diagnostic exam is this Friday. I’d like to see how much longer a certain soone can stay in this school!"

Cara Preston quickly put on a concerned facade and asked Vera Xavier, "Sister, how confident are you about this exam?"

Vera Xavier replied in a flat tone, "I’ll do my best."

With that, she buried her head in her book. She had been up studying until the early hours of the morning. There were too many concepts she needed to cram, and she really didn’t have the spare energy to play gas with Cara Preston.

Seeing her dismissive attitude, Cara Preston gritted her teeth. This Vera Xavier felt like a stranger to her.

’But in her eyes, Friday was only four days away. No matter how hard Vera Xavier tried, she couldn’t possibly change anything.’

’She, on the other hand, had always been a top student. No matter what, her scores would place her at the top of the class, and she was guaranteed a spot in a university.’

She glanced at Vera Xavier, her eyes filled with triumph. No matter how hard Vera tried, she would take everything from her, leaving her with absolutely nothing.

During the long break, Cara Preston went to see the Dean of Students. She had always had good grades, knew how to act cute and obedient, and was a sweet-talker. By twisting the story a little, she portrayed her actions today as an attempt to help Vera Xavier integrate into the class. By the ti she left, not only had the dean not punished her, but he had even praised her extensively.
