Chapter 537: Chapter 537: The Scumbag’s End (3)
Gasps rippled through the crowd. In this day and age, a university student getting married was newsworthy enough, let alone a student from a top-tier institution like Veridia University. This was practically explosive news!
This was one of the reasons Vera Xavier had insisted on keeping her marriage to Nathaniel Nathan a secret after they’d registered it. She didn’t want to be the center of a spectacle!
Vera Xavier smiled. "How could that be? I always take responsibility for my actions. But I will never, under any circumstances, admit to something I didn’t do."
At this, she sighed. "What a pity. You and I are simply not fated to be. We can never be together in this lifetime. Every time I think about it, my heart aches as if it’s being pierced by needles."
Wesley Kane had been fully prepared for her to start making excuses in front of everyone. He had it all planned out; the moment she tried to defend herself, he’d cling to the subject and refuse to let go. With matters between men and women, the more you try to explain, the more tangled things become, and the more it fuels people’s suspicions.
But now, she was admitting it! Admitting to the "relationship" between them. All the lines he’d prepared were suddenly stuck in his throat; he couldn’t get a single one out.
The rims of Vera Xavier’s eyes reddened. Suddenly, she slapped him across the face. As her hand made contact, she deftly shoved a pill into his mouth. When he tried to spit it out, she struck him sharply on the chest.
He glared at her, his eyes wide with rage, but her expression was one of pure heartbreak. "But just yesterday, I caught you in bed with another woman! You showed no remorse, and today you have the nerve to chase me all the way to my school! You betrayed me so cruelly—you’re utterly heartless and vile! A faithless man like you is no one’s idea of a good partner. I don’t want anything to do with you for the rest of my life."
Wesley Kane didn’t know what Vera Xavier had forced him to swallow, but based on his understanding of her, it was definitely not something good.
He wanted to demand what she’d given him, but then he heard her say, "You are so cruel, so fickle, so unreasonable! We’re better off splitting up! Don’t you ever come and pester me again."
Wesley Kane frowned at her words. She finished speaking and made to leave, but how could he possibly let her go? He subconsciously reached out to grab her shoulder.
Without a word, she executed a clean shoulder throw, slamming him onto the ground. She followed it up with a backhanded slap.
The sudden move created a huge commotion, sending a plume of dust into the air.
The moment Wesley Kane hit the ground, he felt his stomach churn. He scrambled to sit up, and then a noise escaped from his body. It wasn’t loud, but with everyone around him watching in silence, the sound was quite distinct.
The noise was accompanied by a strange smell. Students standing close enough to catch a whiff of it instinctively fanned the air in front of their faces; others pinched their noses.
Wesley Kane felt his stomach cramp even more painfully. At this point, he couldn’t care less about teaching Vera Xavier a lesson; he scrambled to his feet, wanting only to escape.
He could endure one loud fart, but he absolutely could not shit his pants in front of this many people! He had his pride to consider!
But Vera Xavier wasn’t about to let him leave. She grabbed him, bowed to the crowd of students, and announced with a beaming smile, "Thank you, everyone, for watching our performance just now! Thank you!"
Everyone, Wesley Kane included, was completely bewildered. He wanted to speak, but his stomach was in such agony that he couldn’t get a single word out.
