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

‘No limit? Yvette thought. She clenched her molars. Indeed, she liked the bet. “Stop with the nonsense. Are we betting or what?” Yvette challenged.

Ethan stared at her gloomily and mocked, “Fine. If you want to bet, 111 join. But let me warn you about Ryan-he’s not as gentle as he seems. If you like him, you’d better watch out.”

He thought Yvette insisted on betting with him to stand up for Ryan, just like his crazy ex-girlfriend who was fascinated with Ryan. He felt resentful.

Yvette stuffed her hands in her pockets and looked at Ethan as if he was foolish. “Are you out of your mind? Who said I like

him?”

Ryan knew that no matter what, he could not let Yvette stand up for him. Ethan, if you want to bet, I’ll bet with you.”

Ethan shook his head with a sly grin and said dismissively, “Sorry, but right now, I only want to bet with this beauty.”

Ryan saw the undisguised malice in Ethan’s eyes. It was clear he had bad intentions toward Yvette. “You…”

Ethan did not give Ryan a chance to speak and got up to leave. As he walked out, his gaze swept over everyone before finally landing on Yvette.

“See you in the top-floor gaming hall. I assume you all know the way? If not, no worries. Mr. Lewis knows it well,” he said.

After Ethan left, Ryan looked at Yvette with confusion. He did not understand why she would so readily agree to such a bet It would not end without risking at least 15 to 20 million dollars.

He already knew about Yvette’s background. Even though he had not been at school recently, he had heard rumors about her upon returning-some good, some bad. He also learned that she was the daughter the Chambers family recently found, who had been living in the countryside before.

Did she even understand what kind of bet this was?

The person she was up against was not just any guy. Ethan was the deputy mayor’s son. Whether she won or lost, she would be in a difficult position afterward.

The Chambers family was already declining and had no chance against Daniel. Besides, Zachary would not likely clash with the deputy mayor just for her.

Besides Ryan, other students from the physics department also did not see why Yvette had to get involved in this matter. Was she just trying to stand out?

Yvette glanced around and noticed the puzzled and slightly disapproving looks of everyone. Without saying anything, she turned around and opened the door, letting the waiter at the entrance guide her to the top-floor gaming hall.
