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

With the situation spelled out so clearly, if Richard still kept assuming it was about him, he'd only further

humiliate himself. No... to be precise, when Wyatt and Simon said in unison that they weren't here for his

apprenticeship ceremony, his dignity had already been shattered. Richard didn’t speak again, but the trembling

of his hands revealed the turmoil and anger within him.

The crowd watched as Richard, clearly furious yet forcing a smile, stood there, while Winona beside him looked

utterly embarrassed and unsure of what to do. ‘So what's really going on? If these two important figures aren't

here for Winona'’s apprenticeship ceremony, what could it be?’ Everyone was baffled. ‘It couldn't possibly be for

this recently-returned Ms. Zeller from the Chambers family’s welchparty, could it? That would be

absurd!”

Simon wasn’t concerned about Richard's expression. He had rushed to the banquet for one person only. His gaze

swept across the garden, and finally, in a small corner, he spotted Yvette eating dessert. There was another girl

sitting beside her, and from their proximity, they seemed close.

At the stime, Wyatt also noticed Yvette, a flash of admiration crossing his eyes. This was the girl he’d once

briefly encountered at a steakhouse. What had struck him most about her, aside from her beauty and cold

demeanor, was her rebellious attitude, so different from other society girls. Seeing her today again, ‘No wonder

Jeremiah, that iron-blooded king, treats her so differently. Such a stunning beauty-there’s no match for her

among the women of Betrico’s noble families.”

Having found the person he cto see, Simon had no tfor small talk. He greeted Wyatt and Zachary briefly

before heading straight toward Yvette.

Winona, who had remained silent, saw Simon leaving and, as if suddenly struck by an idea, stepped forward to

block him. Her voice carried a hint of plea. “We’ve prepared seats for you and the mayor at the head table.

Please, join me.”

Zachary frowned slightly, but Wyatt said nothing. His expression, however, darkened. “This Winona is playing a

little ghere, trying to publicly guilt Simon into sitting with her.”

Simon paused and glanced at the pitiful-looking Winona. His voice, old and cold, replied, “First of all,

congratulations, Winona. But | won't be sitting at the head table.” With that, he brushed past her without a hint

of politeness, leaving Winona standing there, face flushed with embarrassment. Simon walked straight up to

Yvette in front of everyone and stopped. “Finally found you.”

Yvette leisurely raised her head, her demeanor lazy and casual, with a gleam in her beautiful eyes. Her upturned

eyes carried a rebellious air, and even though she was wearing a gown, she couldn’t hide her roguish attitude.

Still, she greeted Simon politely. “Hello.”

Simon nodded cheerfully, ignoring the curious glances and stares from others, and sat right down next to Yvette,

engaging her in friendly conversation.

The scene was nothing short of shocking. Yet, the two people involved seemed completely unaware of how out of

place it looked. ‘Is this really the sserious and stern Simon of Argrol University that we know? Unbelievable!”

Winona was grinding her teeth so hard they were about to break. Her expression darkened further, radiating a

cold, hostile air. She forced herself to endure the odd looks and whispers from those around her and turned her

gaze to Wyatt. ‘Right, there's still Wyatt... compared to him, Simon is nothing. “Mr. Langford, would you like to...”

Before she could finish, Wyatt, as if knowing exactly what she was about to say, interrupted her. “Ms. Chambers,

I'm afraid I'm here for Ms. Zeller of the Chambers family. | won't steal the spotlight. Please, let Mr. Griffin take the

head seat.”

Once again, the crowd erupted in shock. No one could remain calm. ‘Are both of these elusive, high-status men

here for the recently returned Ms. Zeller from the Chambers family?’ The entire crowd was buzzing!

Winona finally couldn't hold on any longer. She staggered back a step, her ears buzzing, her hands trembling

uncontrollably. “How have you been, Ms. Zeller?” Wyatt's tone, attitude, and the kind expression on his face all

conveyed one message: respect. He placed Yvette on equal footing with him.

Wyatt had no idea what was going through everyone's minds. If he did, he would've told them, “You're

overthinking it. Why would | consider myself on the slevel as the woman Jeremiah has set his sights on?’

Yvette simply nodded casually in response, treating Wyatt with no more warmth than she had shown Simon

earlier.

The difference in treatment was clear as day, ‘Wow, she really is something! | wish | could be as nonchalant as

her, not even caring about the mayor!”

Wyatt didn’t seem to mind. After greeting Yvette, he also sat down nearby, instantly turning the once-empty

corner into the center of attention in the garden. As he sat, Wyatt seemed distracted. ‘Is he coming or not?"

Zachary sighed. At this point, he had to step up and take control of the situation.

Nellie invited Richard to take the head seat and, seeing that there were fewer people around, led Winona aside.

Victor noticed and followed them.

Sienna was a little curious but chose not to ask questions given the situation. ‘It’s not surprising who the boss

knows!

From afar, Robert stared at Yvette and the others, his expression dark and suspicious. He turned to Yulia, who

seemed stunned, and asked, “Did Yvette make a fuss when you called off the engagement?”

Yulia, watching Yvette chat with Simon and Wyatt from a distance, shook her head. “No, she... she was very

straightforward about it. And... she didn’t seem upset at all. | think Yvette...” She hesitated.

Glancing at Robert's grim face, Yulia continued cautiously. “Yvette didn’t seem to care about the engagement

with Victor.”

Robert clenched his teeth but said nothing. ‘Maybe Yvette just accidentally got close to these two. Yeah... that

must be it. Otherwise, what kind of reckless decision did | make?”

Meanwhile, Wyatt, sitting off to the side, was restless, frequently checking his phone. Finally, the ringtone broke

the silence, and Wyatt answered immediately. ‘The person I've been waiting for has finally arrived. Wyatt stood

up and headed out.

Everyone noticed his sudden movement. ‘Why is he leaving so abruptly?”
