What Vera Xavier needed to do now was study her politics textbook. Her schedule was incredibly tight. She had already reviewed several subjects, but she still had a lot left to cover for politics. ’Even if it ans just skimming, I have to get through the whole thing tonight!’
She ended up studying until three in the morning and almost couldn’t get out of bed. Because she had gone to sleep so late, she didn’t look very well-rested today.
Rona Langdon wasn’t about to make her breakfast, and Cara Preston had already gotten up early and left for school, not even bothering to put on an act for her today.
Vera Xavier yawned as she ate a bowl of beef noodles with an added egg at a roadside breakfast stall. Only after refueling her energy did she head to school.
There were still so topics in the three subjects being tested today that she hadn’t managed to review, so she was a little slower on the exam. When Cara Preston noticed she didn’t turn in her paper early like she had the day before, she assud Vera had taken her advice and was deliberately finishing later.
This thought made Cara Preston feel even more contemptuous of Vera Xavier. ’And here I thought she’d actually made so progress lately. Turns out, she’s nothing special after all.’
After the exam, it was Sunday. Cara Preston went out to have fun with her friends again, while Vera Xavier, who was dead tired, planned to go straight ho and crash.
But while the dream was nice, reality had other plans. As she was leaving the school gates, she heard soone call her na. She turned her head and saw a tall, thin young man.
At first glance, she didn’t recognize him and prepared to walk around him. To her surprise, he stepped directly in front of her, blocking her path. "Vera Xavier, didn’t you hear calling you?"
Vera Xavier looked up at the man. "Excuse , who are you? Have we t before?"
The man’s face instantly twisted, his expression becoming downright bizarre. Her words seed to have caught him so off guard that he was montarily speechless.
Vera Xavier shot him a look like he was a lunatic and decided to keep her distance. But he suddenly grabbed her hand. "Vera Xavier, stop pretending!"
Vera Xavier’s gaze instantly turned icy. Staring at the hand gripping hers, she said coldly, "Let go!"
Instead of letting go, the man started dragging her toward a nearby side path. Vera Xavier completely lost it and slapped him across the face. "If you don’t let go right now, I’m calling the police!"
The man clearly hadn’t expected her to strike him. He stared in utter disbelief. "Vera Xavier, you dare hit !"
Vera Xavier sneered. "You’re just a thug. So what if I hit you?"
The man was trembling with rage. He finally managed to say, "Vera Xavier, I’m Wesley Kane!"
This ti, it was Vera Xavier’s turn to be stunned. Staring at the man—who looked much younger than she rembered from her past life, yet also strangely unfamiliar—she finally recalled sothing.
In her previous life, there were rumors that the Best Actor award-winner, Wesley Kane, had gotten plastic surgery. She had always been skeptical about the matter. Now, seeing the not-yet-famous Wesley Kane, she was finally certain those rumors were true, because his current appearance was a far cry from how he looked in her past life.
Furthermore, after Nathaniel Nathan had swept her away from her own wedding in her previous life, she hadn’t seen Wesley Kane for several years. By the ti they t again, his appearance had already changed, so much so that she had now completely forgotten what he used to look like...
The current Wesley Kane’s features were actually quite striking among n, but his overall aura was sowhat effeminate. His nose wasn’t particularly prominent, and his narrow eyes had monolids. Compared to the man he would beco in her previous life, he was lacking by more than just a little.
Vera Xavier gave a hollow laugh. "Oh. So, did you need sothing from ?"
