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

Nellie didn’t dare to show any attitude toward Zachary, so she smiled and said, “Darling, I was just in a hurry. Please forgive me this time. I’ll let you know before I come next time.”

Nellie smiled brightly. However, despite her charm, there was no hiding the fine lines on the face of a woman in her fifties like her. There was still a big difference compared to a young woman in her twenties.

Especially when Nellie stood beside Yvette, their faces formed a stark contrast. Thus, Zachary frowned slightly with displeasure when Nellie acted coquettishly.

Didn’t she see where we’re at? Yvette is right here. So inappropriate, thought Zachary

Nellie didn’t expect her attempt to please Zachary would backfire and that the usual trick that worked would upset him further. The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Then, Yvette got up. With her hands in her pockets, she tilted her head, raised her eyebrows, and returned to her carefree self. “Tm leaving,” she said.

Zachary’s attitude changed immediately. He quickly spoke, worried that Yvette would be gone if he hesitated.

“Yvette, we can put that matter we’ve just discussed aside for now. See me when you’ve thought it over. The most important thing right now is your welcome home party this Sunday. You must come. I’ll have Lucas pick you up from school that day. I’ll get a designer to design your dress, okay? Just let me know if you have any other requests. I’ll do everything I can to make it happen.” said Zachary

Next to them. Nellie was clenching her teeth so hard that her smile froze. She looked horrible and extremely pale

The highlight of the party was supposed to be Winona’s apprenticeship ceremony, but Zachary’s words indicated that Yvette’s welcome home party was the priority,

Nellie knew how much Zachary used to care about Winona’s apprenticeship. However, everything has changed ever since Yvette returned. Winona was no longer the star of the party.

Nellie couldn’t accept it. She was furious with hatred, and the hostility in her gaze toward Yvette was obvious.

Lucas briefly glanced up at them and lowered his gaze again. Mr. Chambers favors Ms. Zeller so blatantly without caring. about Mrs. Chambers’ feelings Didn’t he notice how grim Mr. Chambers’ face is? Sigh. What if Mrs. Chambers finds out about the will? I can’t imagine what would happen, thought Lucas.

Lucas also wondered if the Smith family behind Nellie would stand by and watch.

Meanwhile, Yvette stopped in her tracks on her way out. She didn’t look back but nodded slightly.

That small gesture was enough to make Zachary ecstatic. He knew that meant Yvette agreed. With that, he could finally relax. Zachary was prepared to swallow his pride to convince her if Yvette refused

It was no doubt that Zachary and Lucas’ minds worked similarly after being together for so many years.

Nellie also suppressed the jealousy inside her when she saw Yvette nod. After all, Nellie’s plan wouldn’t work if Yvette didn’t attend the party. Thus, Yvette’s return was just what Nellie wanted.

Yvette’s demeanor seemed cold as she pushed the door open to leave.

“When Yvette returns.

I’ll find her a top designer team. Don’t worry, Darling,” said Nellie.

Zachary’s expression softened a bit upon hearing that. He turned slightly, showing Nellie a kinder attitude than before as he said, “Okay. Put in some effort. Money is not a problem. Make sure Yvette’s happy, okay?”

Nellie noticed Zachary’s expression change like that of a doting father whenever he talked about Yvette.

Suppressing her annoyance, Nellie maintained a sweet demeanor as she replied, “Okay, Darling. I got it. I’ll make sure you see a gorgeous Yvette. The tailors are downstairs. I’ll call them up now, okay?”

Having solved a major problem. Zachary felt much happier and decided to let Nellie’s uninvited visit slide. Thus, he nodded. and replied. “Let them come up. I still have work after they take the measurements, so you should leave.” He asked Nellie to leave without mercy.

Nellie almost dug a hole in her bag, but she didn’t dare in show it on her face. “Okay,” she said.

When the tailors arrived, Nellie planned to look at the documents Zachary had just put away to see the contents while he tried on the suit. However, as though he could read her mind, Zachary gestured for her to sit on the couch and had Lucas help him get dressed.

While Nellie lowered her head to sip her coffee. Zachary quickly placed the document into the safety deposit box on the left side of the office.

Even though Nellie was sipping her coffee, she was distracted and watched Zachary’s actions. She paused when she s putting away the document. Then, she acted like she hadn’t seen anything and continued with her coffee.

What sort of document needs to be in a safe? wondered Nellie. At that moment, she was increasingly certain that the document was no ordinary document. She had to find a chance to discover what document Zachary had shown Yvette

him.

The next day, Yvette was in the Principal’s office. Half an hour ago, she was called to the office by a staff member when she had just stepped into the physics classroom.

By the time Yvette arrived, Simon had already completed all his tasks. He had also prepared coffee, so the air was filled with

the coffee’s aroma.

There were also some snacks and nuts on the table. One might even mistake it for a tea party. Who would have expected it to be the Principal’s office of the renowned Argrol University?

Simon wasn’t fond of coffee, but he kept a box in the office because Yvette liked it. These preparations were because she would be a regular visitor in the future. Besides that, Simon even made sure to stock up on some snacks that girls tend to like.

When Yvette entered, Simon’s eyes lit up as he glanced at her from top to bottom. “Hmm. Good. She’s perfectly fine. If she were to get hurt outside, Mr. Owens might charge over here, thought Simon. He then said, “You’re here, Yvette. Have a seat.

Yvette nodded politely. Looking relaxed, she greeted, “Hello, Mr. Sunderland. Then, she glanced at the items prepared on the table, sat casually on the couch, and lowered her gaze.

Simon was accustomed to Yvette’s aloofness and simply grinned at her kindly. “Have you sorted everything out? If you need. any help, just let me know. Don’t be shy,” he offered.

Yvette looked up and replied calmly, “Everything’s fine, Mr. Sunderland”

Hearing that, Simon didn’t pry any further and merely moved the snacks on the table toward Yvette.

“Got these specifically for you. I wasn’t sure what young girls like to eat, so I had someone gather a selection. Try them and let me know which ones you like. I’ll keep some in the office for you in the future, so you don’t only have coffee with an old man like me when you visit again,” said Simon.

Yvette paused slightly and glanced at the snacks on the table. There was a brief silence as she thought of how tasty the snacks looked. Finally, Yvette looked up and, for the first time, thanked Simon sincerely. Simon’s smile widened.

Simon cleared his throat and spoke to Yvette, who was munching on some chips. “A couple of days ago, the Chambers family sent me an invitation for Sunday’s event. They’ve combined Winona’s apprenticeship ceremony with your welcome home party. Whose side was bead

Treme took a bene of her chip and replied “alle”
