Chapter 775: Chapter 775: Kissing Her in Public (3)

Sheldon Caldwell felt like Vera Xavier was going to be the death of him. As Veridia University’s best female competitor, she had been doing perfectly fine, but now she was suddenly trying to back out. ’Is she just messing with me?!’

He thought for a good while before saying, "Little sis Vera..."

"Stop!" Vera Xavier felt goosebumps break out all over her body when he called her that. It was beyond disgusting. "Speak normally!"

But Sheldon Caldwell was just getting started. "Look, when you were in trouble before, I stepped up to help you without hesitation. Now, this is a matter of my reputation. If you help me, I’ll... just keep calling you, ’little sis Vera, little sis Vera’..."

Vera Xavier felt she must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to end up with such a pain-in-the-ass brother. She took a deep breath and said, "It’s not impossible for me to compete in the rest of the events, but you have to agree to three conditions!"

"Deal! Never mind three—I’d agree to thirty, or even three hundred!" Sheldon Caldwell said with a wide grin. "What are the three conditions?"

"I haven’t thought of them yet. I’ll tell you when I do," Vera Xavier said flatly.

Sheldon Caldwell wasn’t bothered. He’d made a bet with someone this time, and he had to fight for first place no matter what. As for Vera Xavier’s conditions, he could temporarily ignore them. She had Nathaniel Nathan backing her up, so even without this agreement, he wouldn’t have the power to refuse anything they asked of him.

’That being the case, what was there he couldn’t agree to?’

On this matter, he felt he was quite self-aware.

Vera Xavier looked at his smug, punchable face and pursed her lips. ’Oh, whatever. He helped me out last time, so I can’t just ignore him now. Worst case, I’ll just have to really push myself and go all out for him this once.’

So, in the next few events that required her participation, she swept first place with overwhelming dominance.

The other students from Veridia University also achieved excellent results. Although a student from Veridia University had a small mishap in one of the events, it didn’t affect the overall outcome.

Veridia University’s performance this time was enviably good!

By the time the showcase ended, Vera Xavier’s name had spread throughout all the participating universities, and Veridia University had proudly secured first place.

The president of the host university was a bit dejected. On their own home turf, they had only managed to secure second place. It was something of a slap in the face.

His only consolation was that Veridia University had taken first place, beating all the other specialized universities. ’Well, if we’re going to lose face, at least we’re all losing it together!’

Finally, it was time for the award ceremony. Vera Xavier went on stage as the student representative for Veridia University to accept the award. Who knows what strings Nathaniel Nathan had pulled behind the scenes, but he was the one who came on stage to present the award.

Vera Xavier’s eyes lit up when she saw him approaching. Her gaze seemed to ask, ’How did I do today?’

But Nathaniel Nathan pretended not to see her, walking right up to her and stopping. Just as Vera Xavier thought he was about to hand her the trophy, he suddenly stepped closer and planted a kiss on her forehead.

Vera Xavier instantly froze, petrified. The once-raucous athletic field fell so silent you could hear a pin drop. Several of the leaders present were so shocked they just stood there, stunned.

The only calm person in the entire venue was Sheldon Caldwell. He had been subjected to their lovey-dovey displays so many times that one more barely registered.

In fact, seeing everyone’s reactions, Sheldon Caldwell actually felt a small, secret sense of glee.
