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

Yvette slowly responded. “Got it. You guys keep eating. I’ll go over there.”

Jeremiah stood up, looked at Andrew, and tossed his car key to him, saying, “Drive the car back to the mansion. Emmett is waiting for you there…”

Andrew was confused. He thought they had only bought an apartment in Seacrity for convenience. He had no idea when they had bought a mansion. Jeremiah, did you buy another mansion?” he asked, bewildered.

Jeremiah nodded. “Yeah. Emmett finalized the paperwork a few days ago. The mansion’s in Nusridge. Contact him for the exact address

Winona quickly tried to smooth things over with a sweet smile, tucking her hair behind her ear and speaking gently, as if completely unaware of Victor’s anger. “What’s the matter, Victor? Does the food not suit your taste today?”

Jeremiah snorted coldly, staring straight at Winona with clear suspicion and anger in his eyes. “Winona, why did you come to the cafeteria for lunch today?”
