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

Inside the car, Jeremiah put away his phone, showing no reaction to whether Samantha would be there or not.

Yvette clearly heard the n"Samantha" and raised her eyes, the corners of her lips curling.

That nhad cup quite often since she arrived in Betrico.

She raised an eyebrow and asked lightly, "Childhood sweethearts? Longtfriends? Destined lovers?" With every phrase she uttered, Jeremiah gripped the steering wheel tighter.

He thought, 'Am I in trouble? She is being so scary!' Jeremiah slowed the car, shifted slightly, and held Yvette's hand with one of his.

His voice was low and deep as he said, "What kind of descriptions are those? Samantha is Andrew's sister, and we grew up together. Our families did try to set us up, but neither of us liked each other." He paused, glancing at Yvette's expressionless face, deciding that someone had to take the heat.

He gently grazed Yvette's palm with his fingertips.

He coughed awkwardly and continued, "It was mainly my grandpa. He's always been trying to pair Samantha andup." Jase was dragged into this for no reason at all.

Yvette withdrew her gaze from Jeremiah and stretched, revealing her slender waist.

Her clear, bright eyes twinkled faintly with amusement as she said calmly, "I see. Just focus on driving." Meanwhile, in one of the private rooms at Sky Nimbus, the group of people looked unsettled after hearing the phone call hang up.

The one who mentioned that Samantha would be coming was Jared Welch, a political scion closest to Andrew. He stared at the silent crowd, who were looking at the phone, and asked nervously, "What's going on? Why are you all frozen? Samantha is coming-why do you look like that? Con. Let's get hyped!" The others wore sullen expressions.

The one holding the phone was Joel Turner, one of the few people in the room who had Jeremiah's number. Even though they all grew up in privileged circles, there were significant differences among them.

Jeremiah had long surpassed them.

He barely hung out and partied with them.

Over the years, he rarely went out to have fun, usually only when Andrew was around.

Joel's father also worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It was thanks to his father that Joel even had Jeremiah's number and could speak to Jeremiah once in a while. Glaring at Jared, Joel gritted his teeth, thinking, 'This idiot had to show up and mention Samantha, of all times, while I was on the phone with Jeremiah! There can't be two leaders in one territory. Everyone in Betrico already knows how much Jeremiah dotes on his girlfriend. He's already blown up for her sake, and those gossiping women are still sitting in jail. Even Mr. Jase Chavez has inade it clear there will be no leniency. It's obvious he's accepted this girl from Seacrity. Bringing up Samantha now is like signing our death warrant! One is the former rumored fiancée of Jeremiah, and the other is his official girlfriend. It's like lighting a match in a room full of gasoline-this place is about to explode! We're done for!' Joel had a worried look on his face as he said, “Jared, you are getting us in big trouble! Why would you do that?" The others chimed in. "Yeah, Jared, you sure picked the right tto mention Samantha. You're on your own for this mess." "Yeah, you better kneel and beg Jeremiah for mercy later. We can't help you. Good luck!" "Jared, every year on this day, we will honor you with offerings. Next year, we will send off your favorite limited- edition luxury car. Rest easy, amen." "Don't forget the four beauties too-we'll make sure they get sent along. Rest in peace!" Jared jumped to his feet. "What's wrong with you guys? I'm perfectly fine; how could I possibly die? How dare you curselike that? You're horrible!" Joel waved his phone. "It's not a curse. I was on the phone with Jeremiah just now." Jared was stunned. "You called Jeremiah? And how does that have anything to do withmentioning Samantha? It makes no sense. Is Jeremiah coming?" Joel gave a troubled laugh. "When you brought up Samantha, Jeremiah's girlfriend was sitting right next to him In truth, it wasn't Yvette that frightened them. It was Jeremiah himself.

The nightmares he'd left from their childhood haunted every single one of them.

Whenever they made a mistake, they'd hear their parents scold, Why can't you learn from Jeremiah?" That sentence was a childhood nightmare for everyone around here.

And it had left them feeling really frustrated.

They couldn't surpass Jeremiah academically, nor could they outfight him.

They gradually becaccustomed to their frustration.

Eventually, they just gave up, convinced they couldn't compare to Jeremiah at all.

When they learned that Jeremiah had a girlfriend from Seacrity and brought her to meet the Chavez family, they even began to feel a little better about themselves.

After years of defeat, they finally had something-their girlfriends-that allowed them to feel superior to Jeremiah.

All of their girlfriends were top-tier in rms of looks, figure, and education level.

They were confident that their girlfriends could outshine Yvette.

At this point, Jared's face twitched.

He thought, 'I am finished-I've just mentioned Jeremiah's rumored old flright in front of his girlfriend. There really is no way out now.

Without another word, Jared turned and headed for the door.

Seeing he was trying to flee already, everyone was astonished at how cowardly he was.

They were also amazed by how terrifying Jerer's But just as Jared reached for the handle, a w presence was pushed the door open.

She had long, flaxen, wavy hair. She wa beautiful but not seductive, stunning yet not bewitching, with impeccable features and flawless skin; her eyes were clear and bright.

She had a natural elegance and refined grace, with a touch of captivating allure in her poised demeanor.

Her bright red lips stood out against her long black dress, the latest summer collection from Vibe.

She looked elegant and dignified.

Everyone in the private room was stunned into silence by her breathtaking beauty.

They completely admired Samantha's beauty.

She had always been gorgeous; while others aged under the pressures of the business world, she remained stunning.

Jared scratched his head and said, "Samantha, you're here." Samantha glanced around at everyone in the room.

Her bright eyes and radiant smile lit up the place.

Every man she glanced at grew nervous.

If Jeremiah was the dream of every woman in the elite çir lite circles of Betrico, then Samantha was the woman En every man knew he could never win.

The thing they had in common was that they were both unattainable.

Samantha had been swamped with work recently, and she had finally gotten stoff, so she decided to relax a bit.

Knowing her longtfriends had organized an event, she thought it'd cout for a drink and be nice to co unwind. are you rushing off to?" Samantha furrowed her brows slightly and said, "Wh Jared, of course, couldn't admit he was trying to run. He laughed awkwardly.

Now that Samantha had arrived, Jared knew he couldn't escape.

Vothing, just need the bathroom."

He slumped back into his seat, casting anxious, desperate glances at the door like a lover waiting for his sweetheart. But the one he awaited was a grim reaper.

Samantha paid no attention to him and walked toward the sofa.

The others automatically made space for her in the center.

They also poured her a glass of vodka, as everyone knew she only drank vodka From childhood to now, Samantha had always been the queen among th It was so natural to them by now the one they all revolved around.

But the women they brought along-famous models, no less-were uncomfortable.

Their shine faded the moment Samantha walked in, and they weren't taking it well.
