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

“Let go. Andrew,” came the command. Everyone’s eyes turned toward the door.

Jeremiah strode in, clad in his military uniform, emphasizing his sleek, upright physique. Tall and imposing, his sharp, well- defined features-blade-like eyebrows and a sculpted straight nose-added to his cold, emotionless eyes and calm, distant expression.

He had just finished a brief meeting and flew back to Seacrity from Betrico on a private jet without even changing out of his military uniform. One could imagine how urgent the situation must have been.

Emmett followed behind, carrying a black briefcase, his expression equally stoic, focused solely on Jeremiah’s affairs. though he didn’t understand why Jeremiah was in such a rush to return.

As Jeremiah approached, everyone froze in place at once.

The gold star on his uniform immediately drew everyone’s attention. It clearly symbolized his rank as a major general in his twenties, an undeniable force in Clusia.

“Where’s Yvette?” Jeremiah asked, his words met with a sense of numbness from those present. Clearly, he was there for the girl who had just been arrested.

But who exactly was she? The principal of Argrol University, the Chambers family, the mayor, and right then, even a major general had shown up. The entire police station was on the verge of being turned upside down.

Andrew let go and pushed Daniel away. He stumbled and fell, struggling to get up.

The moment Jeremiah arrived, Daniel realized that he was finished, thinking, ‘A major general had personally come to the police station for Yvette.

Andrew shouted. That jerk locked Yvette in the isolation room! Don’t stop me! I’m going to beat him up!”

Following quietly behind Jeremiah and almost unnoticed, Emmett shot a subtle, unreadable glance at Andrew.

Andrew’s words confirmed Emmett’s suspicions. ‘Jeremiah had rushed back to Seacrity for this girl, Yvette, even bringing in that force for her, Emmett thought.

Normally, Andrew would have noticed something off in Emmett’s demeanor, but he was too consumed by thoughts of Yvette being locked up.

A storm brewed in Jeremiah’s icy and unforgiving eyes as his gaze zeroed in on Daniel, who was still sprawled on the ground.

Daniel trembled under that stare, struggling to breathe and rise.

Jeremiah stepped forward, towering over him, then kicked him back down with his military boot. Everyone in the police station lowered their heads further.
