Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Ryan was stunned for a moment, but then his voice grew firm and resolute. “I won’t hand her over, so don’t waste your

energy trying

Lionel was utterly enraged by Ryan’s words. His expression named horrendous, and he glared at Ryan coldly.

Ryan stared at Lionel’s eyes challengingly.

They were locked in a standoff. Neither of them relented. However, the bitter smile on Ryan’s lips betrayed the turmoil.

within him

Lionel had always treated him this way since he was a child. He would give Ryan the silent treatment if the latter didn’t do things according to his will. They were sitting together for a meal, yet it felt as though they were miles apart simply because Ryan wasn’t the child of the woman he truly loved.

His parents were married for political reasons, and his existence only ruined Lionel’s chances of reuniting with his first love. No one in the family looked forward to his birth except for Jaiden.

During those years, Jaiden had gone abroad for treatment due to his poor health and seldom returned home. Lionel seized the opportunity to take the illegitimate child whom he had with his first love home. If Jaiden hadn’t returned in time, the current heir of the Lewis family wouldn’t have been Ryan, but that illegitimate child who had appeared out of nowhere.

Ryan’s heart had long grown cold at Lionel’s attitude toward him

Ryan, you need to remember that everything you’re using now comes from the Lewis family. Do you know of the serious consequences of offending Daniel over a girl? Your grandpa is still recuperating at the mansion, and if you don’t hand the girl over. I’ll call him, but he can’t afford to get riled up anymore, and you’re well aware of that, warned Lionel

Ryan looked up in disbelief. Lionel’s blatant threat shattered his last speck of hope.

He had never expected that Lionel would resort to using Jaiden to threaten him for the information about Yvette.

Ryan felt caught between a rock and a hard place.

If he told him, Yvette would come to a bad end. If he stayed silent, Jaiden’s illness would be aggravated.

Ultimately, Ryan decided to let emotion overcome reason. He resigned himself and said with his head low, “It’s Yvette Zeller”

Between Jaiden and Yvette, he chose Jaiden. If he could, he truly wished he hadn’t been born into the Lewis family. He had no choice, and he never had.

Ryan walked past Lionel and headed upstairs sullenly

Disregarding Ryan’s feelings, Lionel quickly instructed Lucas to call Daniel’s secretary and give her Yvette’s name.

It was deep into the night, and the moonlight blanketed the ground. A gentle breeze slowly came along, followed by the chirping of insects and the subtle scent of flowers. The trees swayed softly in the breeze, and the leaves rustled.

At Argrol University, only the library stayed open 24 hours and was brightly lit.

Argrol University was never short of academic achievers or hardworking students. Either way, they all worked hard for a

better future

Jeremiah, is that Yvette at the entrance?” Andrew asked.

Jeremiah wore a thin white shirt with a few buttons casually undone at the collar, revealing his long, slender neck. His

clothes were neatly honed, accentuating his tall and straight figure.

Jeremiah narrowed his eyes and looked through the cold air and dim light. Over the shoulders of the crowd, his eyes landed on a familiar face.

At this moment, she was wearing a simple black T-shirt with black pants, yet she stood out like an embellishment despite standing there in the night.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

was not in a good mood.

For some reason, Jeremiah felt that Yvette w

Jeremiah put out his cigarette and walked over, and Andrew followed behind him.

“Have you eaten Jeremiah asked Yvette

Yvette looked up at him indifferently as if Jeremiah’s sudden appearance was a perfectly normal thing, “No.”

As Jeremiah got closer, he smelled a faint fragrant milk scent on Yvette, which reminded him of the sweet aroma of the candy she had given him

Andrew exclaimed when he heard Yvette’s response, “What? You haven’t eaten yet, Yvette? It’s late already. You…”

Jeremiah interrupted Andrew and asked Yvette in an alluring voice, “What do you feel like eating?”

Yvette didn’t speak. Her lashes fluttered slightly as she glanced at him, thinking she had gotten herself a dining companion.

Jeremiah’s warm breath landed right on Yvette’s head, making her a little uncomfortable and tilting her head slightly. After a while, she replied, “Pierogies.”

Andrew was bewildered at her response.

He bet that Jeremiah would never eat those. Growing up, Jeremiah loathed flour-based food of any kind so much that he wouldn’t even have bread during Christmas dinners. He was such a picky eater.

“Um, Yvette, why don’t we have-” Just when Andrew wanted to suggest eating something else, Jeremiah cut him off. “Let’s go.

When the three of them sat down at a street food stall outside the campus, Andrew’s face turned awful as though he had egg on his face.

The moment Yvette was around, Jeremiah’s mysophobia and picky eating were instantly thrown out the window. Andrew inwardly cursed as he stabbed his pierogies with his fork indignantly, Dates before mates, huh!

Jeremiah took out a piece of tissue and meticulously wiped the fork before handing it to Yvette.

Yvette cast him a sidelong glance and took the fork, then are the pierogies with relish, completely ignoring the two men. beside her.

Jeremiah looked at her deeply, showing no intention of eating.

“Yvette, why are you hanging around outside the library so late tonight? I’m guessing you were looking for Jeremiah.” Andrew shot Jeremiah a mischievous look, seemingly telling him how considerate he was.

Jeremiah’s body tensed up awkwardly, and he lowered his eyes. He had been through all sorts of difficulties and hardship, yet never had he been this nervous.

“Are you here to see him? Is that possible? You didn’t come here specifically for him, right?” Andrew added. Jeremiah had never doubted himself like this before. This was the first time he had felt this way growing up.

Yvette sniffled. The hot pierogies added a misty layer to her eyelashes, yet Jeremiah could still see her beautiful and delicate side profile.

Jeremiah looked up and met Yvette’s bright, clear eyes that reflected his figure.

“No. I was just wandering around,” she said.

A sense of disappointment flashed across Jeremiah’s face, and Yvette saw that, wondering what he was disappointed about.

Andrew tugged at his collar and laughed awkwardly, inwardly cursing himself for being mouthy, then quietly eating his pierogies.

“Thanks for the pierogies. Goodbye,” said Yvette.

Jeremiah nodded without a word, but Andrew began to feel insufferable from the tense atmosphere around him, musing. How could she stay so calm?”

After watching Yvette enter the campus gate across the street, Jeremiah took out his phone and strode aside. The next moment. Andrew seemingly heard Emmett’s name and that he was coming over after three days.

After Jeremiah hung up the phone, Andrew quickly confirmed the news of Emmett coming to Seacrity.

After getting the answer from Jeremiah, Andrew began plotting his escape route, knowing that he would be doomed once Emmett had come over. He could go on with the messy stories between him and that cold-blooded and ruthless personal assistant over the past years for days.
