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

Jeremiah’s gaze remained fixed on Yvette. Seeing her yawn, he immediately took off his black jacket and draped

it over her shoulders.

Seeing the situation, Emmett and the others immediately stood up and moved to the other side.

Jeremiah shifted his body slightly to block the wind coming in through the entrance. After completing this series

of actions, he lowered his head.

Yvette lifted her head, a faint smile tugging at her lips as her eyes sparkled. She let out a soft chuckle. Tm not

that fragile. A little gust won't hurt me.

Jeremiah squeezed her slightly cool hand, then tucked both her hands into the pockets of his coat.

Yvette was mostly enveloped in Jeremiah’s arms. This feeling was unfamiliar to her, but she didn’t resist.

Yvette’s delicate neck caught his attention, and Jeremiah’s gaze grew more intense. His fingers tightened slightly

as he gently tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, his breath warm and close. In a low, soft voice, he said,

“Get srest. You must be exhausted Keeping up with those guys must've taken a lot out of you.”

Yvette’s heart stirred slightly. “He seems to know everything. Am | tired? Actually, | have no idea what it really

feels like to be tired. Yvette thought, closing her eyes and unconsciously leaning closer into Jeremiah’s embrace.

As dawn broke, the others were still asleep. Outside the cave, faint footsteps could be heard, so soft they were

almost inaudible. Yvette's eyes snapped open instantly, filled with a fierce, cold glare tinged with bloodlust. A

deadly aura surrounded her, exuding an intense chill and ruthlessness.

At the smoment, Jeremiah opened his eyes as well. There was no trace of drowsiness in either of their

gazes. They exchanged a quick glance. Someone is coming? they wondered In the next second, both stood up

and moved towards the cave entrance. Their movement alerted the others in the cave.

Emmett, Chris, and Bruce also opened their eyes, and the people Jeremiah had brought along began to wake up

as well. After all, in an environment like this, no one could truly sleep soundly

ressions on their faces, they knew something was. Emmett and the others walked over to Jeremiah and Yvette.

Seeing the happening outside. Emmett lowered his body slightly and asked, “Mr. Chavez, Yve, what's going on

outside? The footsteps sound chaotic. Is someone coming?”

In the bushes outside the cave, faint shadows of large figures could be seen darting back and forth. Chris, Bruce,

and the others behind them immediately pulled out their guns, cocking them in readiness for defense.

Visitors at this twere definitely not a good sign. Jeremiah frowned and spoke in a low voice to Yvette, “After

we entered the rainforest with the Tiger Head members, about a dozen people mysteriously disappeared while

passing through a thicket. | suspect someone in the rainforest is aiding them.”

Yvette’s eyes were cold and deadly, a chilling aura radiating from her. She tilted her head slightly, her delicate

features exuding an air of danger. Narrowing her eyes, her voice was calm yet sharp. “Your suspicions are

correct. There's a primitive tribe living in the rainforest.”

Jeremiah paused for a moment. How does Yvette know about the primitive tribe here?’ he wondered. Glancing at

Ernment and the others, he found they didn’t seem surprised at all.

Frankie shrugged his shoulders and the tension he had been feeling suddenly eased. “A primitive tribe? Well,

that’s a relief.”

When Jeremiah’s soldiers heard it was just a primitive tribheir tension eased as well. With guns in hand, they felt

no fear of a few primitive people.

But Emmett had a nagging feeling that it wasn’t that simple. “Why would a primitive tribe help the Tiger Head

gang produce drugs? It doesn’t make any sense, he thought.

Yvette’s face remained expressionless, her eyes half-closed as she stared at the now-relaxed group. There was a

flicker of bloodlust in her gaze, a mix of righteousness and danger. “I forgot to mention they're cannibals”

At this point, among the dozen or so people present, only Jereinlah didn’t visibly react to Yvette’'s words. He

simply frowned. Cannibals, as the nimplies, are a tribe that feeds on living humans. Such tribes were known

to be the most savage of all primitive tribes,

Emmett, Bruce, Frankie, and Chris believed Yvette’s words, but the soldiers Jeremiah brought along weren't so

easily convinced. One of the soldiers named Jacob, raised his doubts, “Ms. Zeller, | apologize, but as a soldier, we

can’t blindly believe you. What you're saying is too far-fetched. Even if there were cannibals, how would they

have contacted the Tiger Head gang to assist them in drug production? This sounds like a fantasy.”

Jeremiah’s expression darkened, his gaze sharp and cold. He knew Yvette wasn’t someone who would lie or

speak without

reason

Just as Jeremiah was about to speak. Yvette reached out and tickled his palm. Jeremiah froze, then softly asked,

“What is it?” Yvette lifted her chin slightly, her exquisitely beautiful face as arrogant as ever. Her eyes were icily

cold, and her tone was calm. “Yoursoldiers have every reason to be skeptical. Only fools would believe whatever

someone says without question.”

Jeremiah gently turned his hand and grasped Yvette’s in return. Only she can have such a strong mindset,

completely unfazed by the doubts of others, he thought.

Emmett, Bruce, Chris, and Frankie, however, couldn't stand by and watch Yvette be questioned. Emmett spoke

up firmly, “IF Yve says they exist, then they do. Instead of doubting her, why aren’t you focusing on how to deal

with the cannibals?”

“I can vouch for that. If it weren't for Yve, we'd probably be dead somewhere along the way by now,” Emmett

said, looking at the ten soldiers who still wore stubborn, doubtful expressions. He stepped forward, his voice

resolute. “We trust Yve.”

Yvette watched the two groups arguing with an indifferent expression, her eyes distant. “Let's go. Don’t you

Jacob was stubborn, and Emmett couldn’t do anything about it. After all, he was one of the top-ranked soldiers in

the military, which was why Jeremiah had chosen him for this mission. But his stubbornness and rigid mindset

could be infuriating.

Yvette casually slid one hand into her pocket, then smiled slightly as she spoke, her tone light but firm. “No

need. Whatever happens to you will happen to me.”

Hearing Yvette’s words, Jacob and the soldiers beside him gained a newfound respect for her. As the future wife

of their Major General, her sense of responsibility and leadership mattered more than anything.
