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

Yvette asked. “Want some?”

Frankie nodded enthusiastically, and Bruce let out an awkward chuckle..

Emmett thought. Dignity? What's that? Not important, as long as | can get sfood

Chris lowered his head and took a bite of the compressed biscuits. 1le thought it tasted good. He'd eaten bugs

on military campaigns before; compressed biscuits were good enough. Everso, he kept staring at the steak

sandwich Yvette was holding, he involuntarily swallowed.

Seeing their expressions, Yvette was amused.

She chuckled, and she gave a mischievous smirk. “Wait,” she said, then got up and headed for the cave’s

entrance.

The others, bewildered, wanted to stop her, but by the tYvette had already vanished into the night.

They had no clue what Yvette was up to in the dark. Although they were aware of her capabilities, they couldn't

help but

worry.

Yvette had told them to wait, so Emmett, Bruce, Frankie, and Chris exchanged uneasy glances, not daring to

move.

In the past few days, whatever Yvette said was like the law to them. They had gotten used to following her

instructions, so when she told them to wait, they had no choice but to obey.

It was a strange turn of events, considering they'd never imagined being led by a woman in her twenties, yet

here they were, not only willing but even thinking it was fitting

About ten minutes later, as their anxiety grew, Emmett and the others were fidgeting.

Frankie stood up, dusting off his clothes, his face etched with concern. “Where did Ms. Zeller run off to? It's been

ten minutes. Let's go check on her.”

Bruce looked worried too, fearing something might have happened to Yvette.

He wanted to go out and look for her, but Yvette had told them to wait. If they left and she cback, what

would happen then?

Chris was getting anxious too. “Let's go, we've waited enough, let's go find Yvette.”

Emmett’s expression darkened as he took in the restless group, and he said in a comforting tone, “Let's wait a

little longer. Yvette’s reliable. None of us could match her, and don’t forget that she survived alone in the

rainforest at the age of twelve for three months. If she told us to wait, then we wait”

Bruce nodded in agreement with Emmett. He concurred that Yvette was definitely not one to act on impulse. But

what could she possibly be doing! It was indeed hard to predict.

As they debated whether to go look for Yvette or not, she was already at the cave’s entrance with a hare in hand

She could hear the voices of the group inside the cave before she got closer.

Frankie was just

about to

step out when he ran into Yvette with the hare.

Emmett, Bruce, and Chris only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yvette safe and sound, and seeing the

hare in her hand left them momentarily stunned.

Yvette, carrying the hare, strolled over to the fire and skillfully prepared it with a knife. She then skewered it and

placed it

over the fire

She glanced at the still-dumbfounded group, furrowed her brows slightly, lifted her chin, and said in a cool voice,

“How long are you planning to just stand there? Get over here and roast it yourselves.”

Emmett and the others cback to their senses, looking at the hare now being roasted over the fire. For the

first time, and indescribable sense of touching welled up in their hearts..

Without Yvette these past few days, they'd probably be killed by swild beast by now. Although she rarely

took action, she was always there to lend a hand when they were in danger, and to toughen them up when they

weren't.

Bruce, Chris, and Frankie initially underestimated Yvette, thinking she was just a beautiful woman. They were

polite to her only because she was Jeremiah’s girlfriend.

After spending a few days together, they were impressed by Yvette’s abilities. Now, they were in awe of her

personality. Bruce, Emmett, Chris, and even the usually joking Frankie were unusually silent for a while, not

saying a word.

In the midst of this touching atmosphere, Frankie suddenly rushed towards Yvette.

Yvette instinctively stuck a leg out and kicked Frankie into the corner.

Frankie looked bewildered. He thought, | just want to give her a hug and express my heartfelt gratitude, but why

did | end up being kicked so far away?”

Yvette rubbed her temple, looking at the pitiful Frankie in the corner, his face full of grievances. She cleared her

throat, her gaze very serious “Next time, don’t approachsuddenly, or you might get kicked to death.”

Frankie felt even more wronged. He thought, ‘Oh my goodness, there's a risk of getting kicked to death? | dare

not anymore.

Frankie squatted in the corner, nodding his head with a grievance. Emmett and the others, seeing Frankie's

clowning, felt much better.

Bruce took the initiative to sit by the bonfire roasting the meat, and as he passed Yvette, he quietly said, “Thank

you.”

Emmett looked at Yvette and suddenly had a strange thought.

At this moment, he finally understood why speople like to be kept. Those people didn’t have to worry about

food and clothing, and they had money to spend. What was the difference from their current situation?

If it were before, Emmett would definitely sneer, but now he thought it was wonderful.

Yvette had no expression, as always indifferent, and lazily walked to a place not far from the bonfire with her

hands in her pockets.

Emmett and Chris also hurried

over and sat next to Bruce

roast the meal

Yvette lazily leaned against the wall, and closed her eyes, her expression indifferent.

Her extremely beautiful face had a fierceness that didn’t belong to her age.

Her slender, pretty fingers casually rested on her bent knee.

Chris, seeing her sleeping posture, was slightly stunned. These past few days, Yvette had been sleeping like this.

She

e was in an absolute defensive posture, ready to react an counterattack in any unexpected situation.

Such a posture while sleeping definitely wasn’t formed overnight. Maybe it took five years, ten years, or even

longer. Of

On the 6th day. Yvette led Bruce, Emmett, Chris, and Frankie forward, continuing their journey.

So far, they hadn't caught a glimpse of Jeremiah

They all began to doubt whether they were on the right path and had mentioned their concerns once.

But when Yvette heard their doubts,

Bruce and the others were speechless. They followed Yvette behind obediently. They thought, “Why do we ask

this question?”

They arrived at a swamp area, and Yvette suddenly stopped in her tracks.

The other four immediately went on high alert, staring at the swamp with sharp eyes.

Seeing Yvette like this, they feared sstrange creature might suddenly burst out from the swamp.
