Chapter 5 Vera had been in the bedroom for ten minutes , and Jeremy let Jason urge her . Vera took a deep breath and repeatedly made emotional adjustments . She didnt walk out of the room till she managed to keep her true feelings concealed . Jeremy stood by the car , considerately pulled its door open , and placed one hand beneath the door frame to prevent Vera from hitting her head . Vera forced a smile and then got into the car . One hour later , the car stopped before the Perrys house . Jeremy excitedly got out of the car while Vera stood rooted to the entrance of Perrys house . Vera didnt know the alarm code of her home , and she needed a lot of courage to ring the doorbell . The reason was that her biological parents did not welcome her . Her mother often said , Why did you take all the nutrition away from your little sister ? She is weak because you are selfish and evil . All the malice stemmed from the fact that she had been born two minutes earlier than Elsa . Nobody had ever asked her if she wanna come into this world . She had thought that she could get rid of her family after a difficult childhood . Her plan had failed because of her love for Jeremy . The Fawcett family and the Perry family were close friends , and nearly all their businesses were interwoven . Vera didnt want to attend her fathers birthday banquet . She had changed her mind because this banquet would be her last meeting with her family . She mustered up the courage to press the doorbell . After quite a while , a maid answered the door . Upon her entry , Vera saw her family happily taking photos . Elsa was flanked by her parents like a spoiled child , and the atmosphere was warm and happy . When Andrew Perry saw Vera , his smile froze in place . He snapped , Why did you come ? You know that today is my birthday , so you deliberately came to anger me , didnt you ? His wife , Clara Wilson , looked at the doorway because of his anger . Her expression quickly became stern , and her voice became sharp . You dont come home , so why did you show up now ? Both you and Elsa are my children , but why do you two differ so much ? Elsa is such a sweet girl . The sarcasm was so familiar to Vera because she had lived with it for more than twenty years . She Chapter 5 1/3 didnt feel hurt as she had . Her expression remained calm as if she hadnt heard her mother . Right then , Jeremy walked into the house with many gifts . The tension in the house made him say , Andrew , Vera , and I came to celebrate your birthday . She misses you , so she came . By the way , she chose these gifts for you and Clara . Here you are . Thanks to Jeremy , the Perry couple stopped making things difficult for Vera . They let their butler take the gifts and then invited the Fawcett couple to sit down . Andrew didnt like noise , so his birthday banquet was a family gathering without any outsiders . Vera chose the seat far away from her parents while Jeremy sat next to Elsa . Realizing his problem , Jeremy invited Vera over . After one glance at Jeremy and Elsa , Vera moved as her husband wanted . Her glance was emotionless , but it made Jeremy panic . Jeremy slightly leaned over to Vera and explained , It is convenient to talk with your parents from this spot . What a poor excuse ! However , Vera didnt get Jeremys lie exposed . Thank you for taking me home yesterday , Jeremy . Without you , I might have gone to the hospital . Speaking , Elsa smiled at Vera and waited for the latter to break down and make a scene . Vera remained calm as if she hadnt heard Elsa . Elsa was disappointed by Veras reactions . She soon came up with a new trick . She deliberately covered her mouth to feign astonishment and then said , Oh , sorry , Jeremy . A slip of the tongue . I shouldnt have brought up your escort , should I ? Vera seems unhappy with it . Instantly , Vera became the focus of attention . Before Vera could speak , Clara snapped , Just ignore her . How dare she be mad at you ? You wouldnt be so weak if she didnt take the nutrition away from you . She should try her best to make it up to you . Even if you want Jeremy to be your boyfriend , she should agree , let alone let him take you home . Vera coldly looked at the people before her , chuckled , and slowly rose to her feet . He will be yours if you want him , Elsa .
