Chapter 795: Chapter 795: She Is Excellent (Part 1)

Brooke Mitchell gave a slight nod. Susan Caldwell had emphasized that she was this year’s top scorer in Veridia, but now that Brooke knew Vera Xavier had achieved a perfect score in every subject, Susan’s accomplishment paled in comparison.

Still, Brooke Mitchell said politely, "That’s impressive. You’re an exceptional young woman."

Brooke Mitchell then recalled something. "You and Vera Xavier both attend Veridia University. You must know her quite well, then?"

"She’s a great person," Susan Caldwell said, a master of the subtle takedown. "However, as you know, Ma’am, we aren’t on the best of terms, so it wouldn’t be right for me to comment on her."

Brooke Mitchell smiled. "Then just tell me a few things that have happened at school. Just the events, no commentary."

Susan Caldwell appeared hesitant, so Brooke added, "Nathaniel feels differently about her. I just want to understand what kind of person she truly is."

Only then did Susan Caldwell relent. "Alright. In that case, I’ll tell you about some recent events at school, just for your reference, Ma’am."

Brooke Mitchell smiled and nodded. As they were speaking, the door opened and Beckett Nathan came home. Susan Caldwell greeted him with great respect. He hadn’t expected a guest, so he just gave a slight nod in acknowledgment. His gaze then fell on the delicate pastries on the table, a knowing look in his eyes.

Susan Caldwell was a clever woman. She made an excuse about having matters to attend to at home, bid farewell to Brooke Mitchell, and left the Nathan residence.

Brooke Mitchell enthusiastically walked Susan to the door. Watching her, Beckett Nathan glanced again at the box of pastries, and a flicker of concern rose within him.

After seeing Susan off, Brooke Mitchell picked up a fork and took a bite of pastry. It was surprisingly delicious. Her face lit up with praise. "I never would have guessed that girl from the Caldwell family was such a good cook! You have to try some!"

Beckett Nathan, however, didn’t take her up on the offer. He just looked at her and asked, "The Caldwells? Which Caldwell family?"

"The one on the same level as your family," Brooke Mitchell said with a smile. "Don’t you think this young lady is in a completely different league than Vera Xavier?"

Beckett Nathan knew his wife’s temperament. If he were to object now, he feared she would give him the silent treatment for the next month. However, he understood his son’s heart perfectly. News had already reached him that Vera had not only placed first in Veridia University’s military training but was also a sharpshooter. In his mind, this made Vera the more satisfactory choice.

So, he smiled and asked, "Is she prettier than Vera Xavier?"

"Susan Caldwell is certainly striking, but she’s still a notch below Vera Xavier in terms of looks." Even though Brooke Mitchell disliked Vera, she remained relatively objective on such matters.

Beckett Nathan asked again, "Did Susan also get a perfect score on her college entrance exams?"

"She didn’t get a perfect score, but she was still the top scorer on the exams," Brooke answered.

Beckett Nathan smiled. "Then is her painting better than Vera’s?"

"She’s studied painting, but her work lacks a certain spark." Earlier, while they were chatting, Brooke had pulled Susan into the study to have her paint something.

Although she had been furious with Vera that day, she had to admit the girl was incredibly talented when it came to painting. Susan wasn’t even in the same league.

Beckett Nathan looked at his wife with a smile. "So, other than her family background, in what way is Susan superior to Vera? Do you really think Nathaniel would give up Vera to choose Susan instead?"

Brooke Mitchell was instantly stumped.
