Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Winona glanced at her phone/ greeted Richard, and asked Victor and the others to go ahead. Then, she went to a

corner to answer the call.

“Hello.” A stranger's voice cthrough the phone. “Ms. Chambers, I've given Lucas the sleeping pills as you

instructed. He just thought he felt unwell and didn’t suspect anything. He's already lying down. Like you said, he

askedto pick up Ms. Zeller, so I'm heading out now. I'll take her to the hotel as you requested.”

He paused, then continued, “Ms. Chambers, you know how strict Lucas is with the household staff. If he finds

out, I'm finished. So | hope you make sure to sendthe 150 thousand dollars as promised. I've already booked

my flight back home.”

Winona was afraid that Fabian would make mistakes and get caught by Yvette, so she patiently reassured him,

even though she was utterly disgusted on the inside. She usually felt dirty just by looking at this kind of

household staff.

“Don’t worry, Fabian. As long as you bring her over today, I'll make sure the 150 thousand dollars is transferred

to your account. With that money, you can return to the countryside and reunite with your wife and children.”

Winona first dangled a promising reward in front of him.

Then, she paused and threatened him. “But don’t get too excited too soon. If you screw this up, you know the

consequences. Crushing you would be as easy as stepping on an ant...

On the other end of the line, Fabian was startled by Winona’s tone. He couldn't believe that the usually gentle

Winona could be such a frightening person!

Fabian also couldn't grasp why Winona wanted him to take Yvette to the hotel instead of back to the Chambers

residence. When he got Winona’s message in the middle of the night, he couldn't believe it. He hesitated for a

long tbefore agreeing.

After all, it was just taking Yvette to a hotel in broad daylight. Winona wouldn't do anything inappropriate.

Ultimately, Fabian couldn't resist the temptation of money and agreed to Winona’s deal.

Winona hung up the phone with a sinister smile on her face. She deleted the phone number and transaction

details, ensuring she left nothing incriminating.

Yvette walked out of Argrol University with a black backpack, still simply dressed in athletic wear and worn-out

canvas shoes. With her current attire, who would guess she was the eldest daughter of the Chambers family, one

of the four great families in Seacrity?

Fabian was standing next to the car and immediately spotted Yvette. In terms of looks and charisma, the eldest

daughter outshone Winona by a mile. Before Yvette appeared, the housekeepers had already considered Winona

beautiful. After Yvette showed up, they understood that there was always someone better.

He approached and lowered his head. “Hello, Miss. I'm Fabian Evans, Lucas’ assistant. Lucas is suddenly unwell,

so I'm here to pick you up. Please get in the car.”

Yvette nodded and got into the back seat of the car. She took out her phone and opened the chat. The latest

message was from Jeremiah. It read: [Aren't you planning to invitetomorrow?] The message was followed by

a cute smiley emoji.

An imperceptible smile flickered across Yvette’'s eyes, appearing and disappearing in an instant. Yvette was

silent for a few seconds, chose not to reply to Jeremiah, and put her phone away

Then, she turned to look out the window, propping her chin up with one hand as sunlight streamed in through it.

When the breeze blew, light and shadow danced, lending an air of tranquil leisure.

Yvette casually glanced at Fabian, who was driving. “What's wrong?” she asked.

Fabian panicked, nearly losing control of the steering wheel. He had indeed peeked at Yvette several times. He

thought she hadn't noticed, but it turned out she was aware of his every move.

He remembered Winona’s warning and quickly explained to Yvette, “Ms Zeller, I'm sorry. | wasn’t peeking on

purpose. It's just... The more nervous Fabian got, the more incoherent he sounded. Cold sweat broke out on his

forehead.

Yvette looked away, her cool expression carrying a hint of sharpness. Fabian wiped his sweat. Yvette’s gaze was

too piercing If she kept it up, he'd be unable to withstand it.

As he tried to hide his nervousness, Fabian’s breathing becheavier. He didn’t notice it, but Yvette

immediately sensed the change in the car's atmosphere. The next second, she said, “This isn’t the way to the

Chambers residence, is it?”

Just as Fabian was calming down, he got nervous again. However, Winona had already taught him how to handle

Yvette, so he had mentally prepared himself. His answer was much smoother this time.

“Ms. Zeller, today is the welcparty for Winona’s teacher, Mr. Griffin. The family is at Exoir Hotel, and Mr.

Chambers instructedto take you there,” he replied,

Fabian thought his explanation was perfect, but in reality, it was full of holes. Yvette glanced at Fabian, gave an

amused smile, looked down, and stayed silent.

Since Yvette didn’t ask any more questions, Fabian thought he had managed to fool her, and he felt much less

nervous. After today, he'd take the money and disappear. It wouldn't concern him anymore.

Zachary rushed over to Room 203 of Exoir Hotel right after finishing work because he couldn’t overlook Richard's

reputation.

At first, Richard was unhappy when he didn’t see Zachary. Nellie repeatedly explained that he was stuck in

traffic, apologizing sincerely at the dinner table. Winona also chimed in with explanations until Richard's mood

improved.

When Zachary finally showed up, it was obvious he was in a hurry, so Richard didn’t make a fuss. After all,

Zachary was his apprentice’s father, and it was important to respect him.

Everyone at the dinner table was chatting animatedly, toasting each other. Zachary had been working in the

business world. for many years, so he naturally knew how to entertain Richard. In a short while, the two of them

were almost like good friends.

Suddenly, Richard put down his fork and glanced at Winona, who was quietly sitting at the table and looked

uninterested. Then, he looked at Zachary and sighed.

Zachary was confused, not

understanding why Richard was

acting this way all of a sudden. Hg

Richard already regarded Winona as his apprentice, so he naturally felt the need to protect her. He paused with a

feigned show of thought before speaking. “I heard that you recently found a daughter named Yvette, is that
