After speaking, Cara Preston shot Rona Langdon a look. From their last few clashes, she'd already realized Vera Xavier was a completely different person now—cunning and resourceful. The situation tonight was still unclear, so it was best not to reveal their hand too early. Most importantly, this ensured they wouldn't be implicated if anything went wrong.
On top of that, Vera Xavier had gotten the upper hand on her today, and she was so bitter about it she couldn't even be bothered to keep up her act.
Vera Xavier had initially thought tonight's events were solely Wesley Kane's doing. But now, seeing the mother-daughter duo's behavior, something seemed off. Her cold gaze swept over Rona Langdon and Cara Preston before she smiled faintly. "I'm not you. I'm not that shameless."
Tears welled in Cara Preston's eyes. "Sister, how could you say that about me!"
Rona Langdon immediately flew into a rage. "Vera Xavier, apologize to Cara!"
