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

In the living room, Winona and the others were waiting for Yvette to apologize. Just when Nellie was about to step in and smooth things over, Yvette suddenly smiled.

Winona couldn’t help but admit that Yvette was truly stunning.

Zeke, even though he knew Yvette was his half-sister, felt his heart race. He had been living the playboy lifestyle since his teenage years. While he kept it under wraps for the sake of his reputation, he enjoyed the company of students, models, young stars, and even escorts in private. As long as they intrigued him, he could get them with enough money.

If… I could have Yvette. The thrill of a forbidden romance was enticing, and Zeke felt his desires bubbling to the surface. Seeing Yvette standing alone, looking vulnerable, he believed lite kindness from him would make her emotional and grateful

Confident that no matter how tough Yvette could be, she couldn’t resist his charm, Zeke gazed at Yvette’s profile. From this angle, he could see her slightly curled eyelashes, stirring a deeper longing in his heart.

Yvette’s smile hinted that someone was about to pay the price, but the Chambers family was completely clueless. By the time they caught on, it would have been too late.

Yvette’s eyes were calm, like the still water of a deep well, and in the next moment, she pulled out a small, old-fashioned. black phone from her pocket. The three couldn’t catch the brand, but they figured it wouldn’t cost much.

Suddenly, they heard Winona’s malicious voice. “Your mother is dead. Why even come back? This house has no place for

you

The atmosphere in the living room shifted dramatically as the recording played.

Winona stood frozen, her mind going blank.

The servants were just as stunned, not expecting the usually gentle Winona to have such a dark side. The tone of that recording was chilling, and it seemed like she was setting Yvette up.

Is this really what Winona said? Such cruel words? Zachary looked at Winona in disbelief and was about to slap Winonal across the face. But before he could strike, someone moved faster

Still dazed, Winona received another smack and let out a piercing scream. What freaked her out even more was that the person who hit her was none other than her mother, Nellie.

The fury in Nellie’s eyes, along with Zachary’s rage, jolted Winona back to reality. What have I just done? I have been recorded!’

Nellie felt heartbroken for hitting Winona, but she knew if she hadn’t acted, Winona wouldn’t have walked away from this day unscathed.

Nellie’s scheme worked. Seeing Winona get slapped cooled Zachary’s anger considerably.

Nellie glared at Winona as she scolded her. “Winona, haven’t I taught you better since you were little? I know you’re scared that Yvette will come back and take your father’s love away, but you’ve gone too far. Yvette is your sister, and she’s been through so much just to be back in our lives. How can you let jealousy make you treat her like this?”

Nellie’s words framed Winona’s behavior as immature jealousy, and as soon as she said it, Zachary’s expression softened with concern.

Nellie then walked over to Yvette quickly, her tone shifting to something more apologetic. “Yvette, please understand that Winona was just confused for a moment. You can punish her as will. I just hope you two don’t let this dome between you. If anyone’s to blame, it’s me for not raising her better. I’m truly sorry. Can you accept my apology?”

Yvette lifted her gaze lazily, a hint of arrogance showing on her face. “You think I’m easy to push around?”

Nellie’s expression fell, and she changed her tone. “Oh no, Yvette, that’s not what I meant. If you’re still upset, I promise I’ll make it right.

With her teeth clenched, Nellie turned back to Winona, Winona, getting the hint, walked over, tears streaming down her cheeks, looking utterly pitiful. I’m so sorry, Yvette. Please forgive me. I shouldn’t have let my jealousy get the best of me. I was just so scared you would take Dad’s love away from me.” As she spoke, she glanced nervously at Zachary,

Zachary couldn’t stand to see his little girl like this. After all, she had grown up beside him. But if he stepped in-now he knew a bit about Yvette’s fiery personality-it would probably just make things worse. Besides, Winona had messed up, and it was only fair for Yvette to give her a little lesson.

Seeing that Zachary didn’t respond, Winona kept going. “Yvette, if you’re still angry, I’ll stand here until you forgive me.”
