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

A silent

$75 filled the private room.

After Zachary left with Yvette decisively, Winona convinced Richard to return to his room.

Before he did, he stated, “I’ll make sure Yvette pays for this.”

No one uttered a word, especially Nellie, whose expression of rage and insanity seemed to threaten to engulf her.

Yvette hung her head low in Zachary’s car on the way back to the Chambers residence, eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

Zachary, not wanting to disturb her rest, remained silent. He stole a few glances at her.

He had no idea how to handle his daughter. How would her stubborn nature fit into society? Who would protect her once he was gone!

Zachary suddenly thought of Jeremiah, who had previously appeared at the police station. He wondered if someone from Jeremiah’s background would be interested in Yvette.

He might have some sway if they were in Seacrity, but Jeremiah’s background wasn’t simple. He probably belonged to one of those long-established affluent families in Betrico.

These families greatly valued social status and equal matches, so the more Zachary thought about it, the more troubled he became. He unknowingly let out a gentle sigh.

Yvette slowly opened her eyes, her expression calm and her gaze captivating. She turned and looked at her dad, her voice relaxed. “Why are you sighing?”

Zachary was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn’t notice Yvette was awake. Her sudden question startled him. “Oh, you’re awake.

She nodded and probed, “Why are you sighing?”

It took Zachary a few moments of pondering before he finally spoke, looking somewhat embarrassed. “Um, Yvette, are you interested in that major general that showed up at the police station last time?”

Yvette was surprised, not understanding why Zachary suddenly brought up Jeremiah. “Why mention him?”

Zachary scrutinized her and saw that when he mentioned Jeremiah, Yvette didn’t react unusually, making him think he might be overthinking

Maybe Yvette was genuinely uninterested in Jeremiah, which eased his mind.

Had he and Lilian not had such a vast family disparity, they wouldn’t have met Matthew’s opposition and endured many hardships.

Unlike Winona, who was set for an arranged marriage to solidify their status, Zachary truly hoped for Yvette to find happiness.

Zachary chuckled and shook his head. “It’s nothing, really. I was just curious, so don’t take it to heart.”

She glanced at him before closing her eyes and staying quiet.

Lucas was already waiting at the door when they arrived at the Chambers residence,

After he woke up, he sensed something was off. The man asked around and discovered that Yvette hadn’t returned. He also called Fabian dozens of times, but no one answered. Then, the butler knew something must have gone wrong.

He was frantic that something bad might have happened to Yvette. Just as he was about to call Zachary, he received a message from him, which calped Lucas down. It turned out Yvette had been taken to Exoir Hotel.

Lucas wanted to bring her back personally, but a surprise visitor arrived just as he stepped out. And so, he had no choice but to stay and entertain the guest.

Lucas led the staff as they gathered at the door. He quickened his pace to greet Yvette and Zachary respectfully when they returned.

“Mr. Chambers. Ms. Zeller, you’re back. The person delivering the dress has arrived and is waiting for you, Ms. Zeller, Lucas stated.

Zachary nodded and tumed to Yvette. Let’s go, Yveite. Check out the wress that Tasked the Sterling family to tailor for you. They say Sienna only makes five dresses a year. I thought she wouldn’t take the job, merely wanting to try my luck. Surprisingly, she agreed right after asking who it was for, and we didn’t even discuss the price.

Yvette paused, her eyebrow raised. “Sienna?”

Zachary often heard how hard it was to persuade Sienna to make clothes from Nellie and others.

He didn’t pay much attention to the fashion world and knew nothing about the woman’s personality. All he knew was that she was notoriously difficult to deal with.

Zachary thought it was all rumors, though. He had talked to Sienna on the phone, and she seemed friendly and polite.

Lucas looked hesitant before he whispered something into Zachary’s ears.

Just like that, Zachary’s expression turned odd. He raised his voice slightly, looking at Lucas doubtfully. “Sienna came personally? She’s in the living room now?”

Lucas was surprised when he first saw her. “Why would someone as busy as Ms. Sterling come herself just to deliver a dress?” he mused. This is absurd. Since when does she have to handle these minor matters?”

Lucas nodded affirmatively. “Yes, Mr. Chambers. Ms. Sterling has been sitting in the living room for half an hour now,”

Zachary didn’t expect her to have waited for half an hour now. It was impolite on their part, and hardly anyone wouldn’t get impatient by now.

He quickly entered the room, momentarily forgetting that Yvette was behind him. She didn’t say anything and just followed him at a leisurely pace,

A young woman, probably in her twenties, sat in the middle of the living room. She wore hot pants and a tank top, with long purple hair down to her waist. Her ears had flashy pink earrings, and she wore two-inch high heels.

Sienna was drinking coffee.

To Zachary’s surprise, she didn’t seem impatient. Instead, she looked excited, scanning her surroundings

Sienna felt disappointed and didn’t bother getting up to greet Zachary when she noticed he was alone.

The disappointment was obvious even to Zachary. He wondered what was going on.

The next moment, when Sienna saw the person following Zachary, her eyes lit up. She excitedly stood up and walked over.

Zachary thought she was coming to greet him and eagerly stepped forward. Then, he watched as the woman bypassed him and went straight to Yvette.

Surprisingly, she even reached out her arms as if to hug Yvette.

Of course, she didn’t succeed. Yvette put up a hand to block her by the shoulder. “I dare you to take another step.”

Sienna had no choice but to stop. She looked at Yvette with a pitiful gaze, her eyes carrying a hint of accusation as if saddened by her heartlessness and shamelessness.

Wette ignored her gaze and didn’t bother to respond. She walked directly to the couch and sat down.

That left Zachary and Latcas standing ther
