The CEO's Wife Is a Medical Master-Chapter 125: You’re Too Vicious
A cold smile touched Vera Xavier’s lips when she saw the look in Cara Preston’s eyes. ’Looks like Cara is ready to drop all pretenses. A bit earlier than I expected!’
She said calmly, "I’ve loved him for a lifetime. The bond between us is far deeper than you could ever imagine."
Cara Preston sneered, "A lifetime? You’ve got some nerve! You’ve only known him for a few days!"
After she finished, she seemed to realize her attitude was a bit off. She took a deep breath, put on a pitiful expression, and said, "Sister, I know you’re the kindest to me. How can you bear to watch me suffer from this unrequited love? I’m truly in love with Nathaniel Nathan. I can’t live without him. So, Sister, I’m begging you. Please, let me have him!"
She finished and then added emphatically, "As long as you agree to this, I’ll do anything you ask!"
Vera had to admire Cara’s gall. She looked into Cara’s eyes and said, "In this world, you can give up almost anything, but love is the one thing you can never surrender. Not even for a real sister, let alone for someone I share no blood with."
Cara’s expression instantly turned vicious, her entire face twisting into a distorted mask.
Ever since she was young, Nathaniel Nathan was the man she was determined to marry. She had always worked hard to be worthy of him. She pried into his hobbies and tried every trick in the book to show up wherever he might be. She even stooped to befriending that idiot Elise Langdon just for a chance to interact with him more.
She believed that with just a little more effort, Nathaniel Nathan would be hers. She never expected Vera Xavier to come out of nowhere and ruin everything.
It would have been more bearable if her rival were any other woman. But for it to be Vera Xavier—someone she’d always looked down on, someone she wanted to crush under her heel—jealousy gnawed at her heart like a venomous snake.
She spat viciously, "Do you really think an exceptional man like him could ever genuinely like you? You’re stupid, clumsy, and have no class. A complete country bumpkin! He’s only being nice to you now because you saved his grandfather. The moment the novelty wears off, he’ll kick you to the curb!"
In her past life, Vera might have actually believed her.
But in this life, Vera already knew Nathaniel Nathan would die for her. What reason did she have to doubt his feelings?
So Vera said calmly, "So what? Even if that were true, he still wouldn’t like you."
Cara was so furious her chest heaved. "Vera Xavier, you’re so vicious! You’ll get what you deserve!"
With that, she stormed back to her room.
Vera found her words laughable. ’So, not giving Nathaniel Nathan to Cara makes me vicious? In that case, I don’t mind being a little more vicious.’
After returning to her room, Cara took out a doll made to look like Vera. She stabbed it viciously until the cotton stuffing began to spill out.
With no other outlet for her seething rage, she threw the doll on the floor. Pretending it was Vera, she jumped on it and stomped hard twice.
Vera watched Cara’s display through the wall, a chill creeping into her eyes. She then withdrew her gaze, not bothering to look any longer.
Once Cara had vented most of her anger, she began to list her strengths and weaknesses, looking for any possible leverage. ’No matter what it takes, I *must* marry Nathaniel Nathan!’
