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

Zachary’s emotions seemed to Nellie like a clear sign that he couldn’t get over Lilian. A mix of bitterness and resentment swirled inside her, but she kept her expression neutral.

Nellie stepped forward, her eyes filled with tears as she carefully scrutinized Yvette. She tried to take Yvette’s delicate hand, but Yvette sidestepped, avoiding the touch. She never liked strangers getting too close.

The atmosphere grew tense. Yvette remained unfazed, but Nellie felt much uncomfortable.

This wretch is really ungrateful, Nellie cursed silently while plastering on a gentle smile, saying “Yvette, you poor thing Now that you’re back, just relax and consider this place your home.

Lilian’s death was still shrouded in mystery. As her daughter, Yvette knew she must make those who had hurt Lilian pay for it, and there’s no escaping.
