Vera Xavier turned to Susan Caldwell and said, "I'm so sorry about that. I got a little carried away and went a bit too far. I hope you don't mind."
When Susan Caldwell heard this, she nearly exploded with rage. Vera wasn't apologizing at all; she was shirking all responsibility while deliberately rubbing salt in the wound. The "Mom" Vera had mentioned was Rona Langdon—Susan's own biological mother!
Susan Caldwell glared viciously at Vera Xavier, who met her gaze with a faint smile. At that moment, Susan was a complete disaster; her face was swollen like a pig's, and blood was still trickling from her nose. It was a stark contrast to the calm and composed Vera.
Susan Caldwell couldn't take it anymore. She scrambled to her feet and lunged at Vera, ready to tear her apart, but Sheldon Caldwell stopped her just as she got up. "Zhang, take her to the infirmary."
Susan Caldwell was furious. "I'm not going! Vera did it on purpose! You have to punish her!"
