Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez Chapter 55

Ryan was stunned for a moment, but then his voice grew firm and resolute. “I won’t hand her over, so don’t waste your

energy trying

Lionel was utterly enraged by Ryan’s words. His expression named horrendous, and he glared at Ryan coldly.

Ryan stared at Lionel’s eyes challengingly.

They were locked in a standoff. Neither of them relented. However, the bitter smile on Ryan’s lips betrayed the turmoil.

within him

Lionel had always treated him this way since he was a child. He would give Ryan the silent treatment if the latter didn’t do things according to his will. They were sitting together for a meal, yet it felt as though they were miles apart simply because Ryan wasn’t the child of the woman he truly loved.

His parents were married for political reasons, and his existence only ruined Lionel’s chances of reuniting with his first love. No one in the family looked forward to his birth except for Jaiden.

During those years, Jaiden had gone abroad for treatment due to his poor health and seldom returned home. Lionel seized the opportunity to take the illegitimate child whom he had with his first love home. If Jaiden hadn’t returned in time, the current heir of the Lewis family wouldn’t have been Ryan, but that illegitimate child who had appeared out of nowhere.

Ryan’s heart had long grown cold at Lionel’s attitude toward him

Your grandpa is still recuperating at the mansion, and if you don’t hand the girl over. I’ll call him, but he can’t afford to get riled up anymore, and you’re well aware of that, warned Lionel

Ryan looked up in disbelief. Lionel’s blatant threat shattered his last speck of hope.

He had never expected that Lionel would resort to using Jaiden to threaten him for the information about Yvette.

Ryan felt caught between a rock and a hard place.

If he told him, Yvette would come to a bad end. If he stayed silent, Jaiden’s illness would be aggravated.

Ultimately, Ryan decided to let emotion overcome reason. He resigned himself and said with his head low, “It’s Yvette Zeller”
