Chapter 796: Chapter 796: She Is Excellent (2)

At first glance, Susan Caldwell seemed quite outstanding, but she paled in comparison to Vera Xavier.

Beckett Nathan added, "And as for things like family background, you know Nathaniel doesn’t care about that in the slightest."

Brooke Mitchell was instantly displeased. "I just don’t like Vera Xavier. Yes, she’s beautiful and smart, but she’s not the least bit likable!"

Beckett Nathan found himself in a difficult position. He had promised his son he would act as an advocate for his daughter-in-law-to-be, but now he was caught in the middle.

So, after a moment of thought, he brought up another fact. "Vera Xavier may have a modest background, but her abilities are extraordinary. As a student from Veridia University, she participated in the exhibition and took first place. I hear her marksmanship is exceptional. After only a short period of training, she hit the ten-ring with all fifteen shots."

Brooke Mitchell froze for a second. Beckett Nathan continued, "Her outstanding performance stunned the entire Northern Military Command. Now, everyone at military headquarters is incredibly curious about her, and several senior commanders can’t stop praising her."

"So what?" Brooke Mitchell retorted defiantly. "No matter how outstanding she is, isn’t all that just a bunch of fighting and killing? Her temper is absolutely terrible. If we actually let her marry into the family, I’m afraid she’d shoot me dead the first time she gets angry!"

Beckett Nathan felt a prickle of annoyance at her words. ’Anyone else would see Vera Xavier’s accomplishments as outstanding, but to her, it’s just ’fighting and killing’!’

Brooke Mitchell continued, "I ran into Vera Xavier at the flower and bird market today. You should have seen how smug she was. For every one thing I said, she had ten comebacks! And then she picked up a stray puppy with a missing leg. I’m telling you, she only rescued that dog to put on a show of kindness for Nathaniel!"

Beckett Nathan knew that she was saying this because she truly had a huge problem with Vera Xavier. He, on the other hand, was more inclined to believe Vera had picked up the puppy simply because she felt sorry for it.

But Brooke Mitchell only grew angrier as she spoke. "Did you know she bought a house in Veridia? I suspect Nathaniel bought it for her. Otherwise, where would a girl from the countryside like her get that kind of money?"

She bit her lip and said, "I also suspect she demanded that house from Nathaniel, just to seduce him! Otherwise, why would someone from out of town buy a house? She could just live at the university!"

The more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Biting her lip, she said coldly, "I never would have thought Vera Xavier could be so calculating. And Nathaniel... honestly! How could he be so foolish about something like this?"

Seeing her furious expression, Beckett Nathan put an arm around her shoulder and said gently, "I still think Nathaniel knows what he’s doing. For years now, he’s managed his own money. Our son has always had a mind of his own since he was a child. You shouldn’t interfere too much in his affairs."

"I rarely interfere with his daily life, but choosing a daughter-in-law is something that requires my approval!" Brooke Mitchell said, agitated. "I will absolutely not allow a woman of questionable character to marry into our Nathan Family!"

Seeing how worked up she was, Beckett Nathan knew there was no point in trying to persuade her further. He’d have to talk to Nathaniel later and have him handle his own mother.

Vera Xavier had no idea what was happening across town. After carrying the puppy home, she went to a nearby supermarket to buy a box of powdered milk and a baby bottle. Once she’d prepared the formula, she began to feed the puppy.
