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

Winona was something of a celebrity at Argrol University. With her stunning looks, charming personality, and wealthy family, she had built a loyal following on campus. Recently, she was the talk of the school because everyone heard that Richard from the Betrico Art Association was set to take her on as a disciple.

After stepping out of the car, Winona pretended to sniffle, her eyes slightly red as if she had been crying. She looked pitiful and vulnerable.

“What’s going on? Winona looks like she’s been crying.”

“Yeah, she definitely has.”

“Being beautiful is truly a blessing. Even when she cries, she looks amazing.”

“Winona should be feeling proud lately. Why would she be crying? It’s puzzling.”

“Totally…”

Just then, Winona’s good friend, Sharon Sullivan, arrived with a group of girls. Upon seeing Winona’s tear-stained expression, Sharon rushed over. “Winona, what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?”

Winona shook her head, sobbing. Her tears filled her eyes, but she held them back. This only made Sharon more anxious. “Winona, please tell me what happened. I’ll defend you!”

In a weak voice, Winona replied, “It’s nothing, Sharon. It’s just that Yvette lost it this morning and hurt Mom with a knife. I was crying because I felt so bad for Mom. How could Yvette do that to her?”

Sharon was furious. She raised her voice, “Yvette? That long-lost sister of yours is back? When did she come back? How dare she harm your mom?”

The girls hanging out with Sharon chimed in.

“Yeah, she must be insane!”

“She’s from the countryside, right? She probably doesn’t know how to behave.”

“Exactly.”
