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

At the Smith residence, ever since Nellie and her two kids returned last night, Nellie had locked herself in her

room, refusing to see anyone. Even the maids who brought her meals were sent away with harsh words.

Zeke and Winona also realized that they had nothing left but the Smith family, so they had no right to act out.

They stayed in their rooms until Jason called for them to cdown, saying that Dennis had returned and

wanted to see them.

Jason stood at Nellie’s door, staring at it, lost in thought, his eyes filled with complexity. After a while, he raised

his hand to knock but Nellie yelled at him from inside, “Get lost, all of you!

Jason sighed softly, his voice gentle while he said, “Ms. Smith, cout now. Mr. Smith is back. If you don’t

cout, he’ll cup himself

At the mention of Dennis, Nella

y stopped cursing and opened the door. Nellie disdainfully looked at the man who had been infatuated with her

for years, thinking to herself that he was just a lapdog. After all these years, he still looked at her with such

affectionate eyes. It was disgusting.

Jason noticed Nellie’s undisguised disgust. He suppressed the sourness; he had been used to it by now. Nellie

was from wealthy family, while he was just the son of a driver. If it weren't for his striving to improve his social

status, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to speak to Nellie today.

Jason bowed respectfully, very humble. “Ms. Smith, Mr. Smith is downstairs. He wants to meet you, Mr.

Chambers, and Ms. Chambers downstairs.”

Nellie snorted coldly; she was domineering and haughty whenever she was back with the Smith family. Over the

years, she only pretended to be nice and considerate in front of Zachary. In front of Jason, she didn’t bother to

act. Nellie waved her hand impatiently. “Got it. I'll tidy up and be right down.”

Nellie was still a bit afraid of her father, so she softened her tone toward Jason since her father still trusted him

after all these years. Jason, if my dad...”

Before Nellie could finish her sentence, Jason knew what she meant and quickly assured her, “I understand, Ms.

Smith. Don’t worry. | know what to do.”

Nellie nodded with satisfaction, and for a rare moment, she smiled at Jason, who was captivated by her smile.

Although Nellie’s beauty had faded, Jason still remembered how pretty she had been when she was younger,

Seeing him stunned, Nellie felt disdain. She could make Jason do anything with just a smile, and he would do it

without hesitation. A man without ambition was only fit to carry her shoes.

In the living room, Dennis, in his seventies, sat on the sofa with a cane. His face was adorned with a short, stiff

mustache; his cloudy eyes were sunken deep in their sockets, and his meticulously groomed gray hair showed

that he had little flesh left on his body.

Nellie led Zeke and Winona downstairs and saw Dennis sitting and drinking coffee, with Jason standing by his

side. Nellie noticed that Dennis's face was very calm, without a hint of anger But she knew this was how her

father looked when he was furious, or rather, he was very angry right now.

Zeke and Winona held their breaths in fear.

Nellie approached Dennis cautiously, her voice barely above a whisper as she said, “Dad.”

Zeke and Winona quickly greeted him, “Grandpa.”

Dennis glanced at the three of them, lowered his gaze, and continued sipping his coffee without a word.

After a while, the three becincreasingly panicked. Eventually, Nellie couldn't help but look to Jason for help.

Jason knew that Dennis was deliberately ignoring them. Judging by Dennis's expression, it seemed about tto

intervene, so Jason spoke up, “Mr. Smith, Ms. Smith hasn't eaten since she cback last night. Perhaps you

could let her sit down and talk

Dennis looked at Jason, put down his coffee cup, stared at Nellie, and said with a hoarse voice, “Do you realize

the foolish thing you've done?”

Nellie, of course, understood what her father meant. She had been foolish indeed, deceived by Zachary for so

many years, thinking he somehow loved her, only to find out it was all a scam

With her head down, Nellie’s eyes turned red at the thought, and her voice sent a chill down one’s spine as she

muttered.”1 was wrong. Dad. | didn’t expect Zachary to put on an act in front offor all these years. He knew

long ago that Zeke and Winona weren't his children. You said he wasn’t simple when | married him, and you were

right, Dad. He's really not that simple.

Hearing this. Zeke and Winona up at Nellie in disbelief, thinking. ‘We aren't Zachary’s children? No way! Then

whose children are we? No wonder Zachary hasn't left us any of his property; it turns out we are not blood-

related to the Chambers family.”

Zeke clenched his fists, questioning Nellie, “Mom, what are you talking about? If we're not Dad’s children, who is

our father? Didn’t you marry into the Chambers family because you were pregnant withand Winona!”

Nellie’s face turned cold, and her voice laced with impatience as she responded, “You and Winona are just an

to blme. Without my lies back then, do you think you could have enjoyed such a luxurious life for so many

years? If it weren't for marrying into the Chambers family, | would have gotten rid of you both.”

Zeke was completely taken aback by the realization. Nellie had always been affectionate toward him, and this

was the first tshe had spoken to him in such a manner. Zeke couldn't accept that he turned out to be a

bastard. In a frenzy, Zeke ran

Dennis snorted coldly, looking at Zeke's frantic departure with utter disappointment. A bastard is indeed good-

for-nothing He goes crazy like this over such a trivial matter. He's not destined for greatness.”

After speaking, with a hint of

satisfaction, Dennis turned to look at

After that, Winona went upstairs, and Jason was also dismissed by Dennis.
