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

Yulia’s expression changed immediately. ‘Does she think it’s not enough?’ she wondered.

Yulia felt that Yvette was being greedy, and her tone changed slightly, becoming sharper. “Yvette, though this amount isn’t much, it’s more than enough for most people for a lifetime,” she said. Her words, both overtly and subtly, accused Yvette of insatiable greed.

Yvette tossed the check over. Though it was just a light sheet. Yulia felt a cold gust accompany its descent, causing a bead of cold sweat to trickle from her temple.

“This money. Yvette said.

“Consider this money as a wedding gift from me and Yvette to Victor and Winona. We wish them a long, happy marriage and many children. Mrs. Carter, you should take it back. It’s too little to be offered, or others might think the Carter family has gone bankrupt,” Jeremiah interrupted Yvette. His sudden appearance made Yvette pause slightly.

It doesn’t matter, the meaning is the same anyway. But weren’t the one who wished them a long, happy marriage? How unoriginal of this dining companion to reuse that she thought.

Yulia was shocked. Who’s talking?’ she wondered. When she turned and saw Jeremiah walking over, she was utterly stunned by his appearance. Who’s this guy?’ she thought.

Refined and powerful was Yulia’s first impression of Jeremiah. His looks surpassed any wealthy heir she had ever met

Jeremiah wore a light-colored casual outfit, a crisp white shirt, and wrinkle-free trousers. With a cold gaze, he swept over Yulia indifferently, his expression dismissive and aloof

Yulia felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. Not knowing his identity. Yulia dared not act superior. She cautiously asked, “And you are!”

Jeremiah couldn’t be bothered to respond and instead looked directly at Yvette. His gaze was calm as water, but a hint of affection in his eyes betrayed him. “Are you done? Let’s go back to school. The next class is Mr. Sunderland’s. If you’re late. he’ll start complaining about you again, he said.

Jeremiah’s tone wasn’t a question. It was a statement. Yvette didn’t find it inappropriate either, so she responded with a hum

As they reached the door, Yvette turned to look at Yulia, who was still sitting dumbfounded. “Before my mother left Seacrity. did she come to see you?” she asked.

Yulia stiffly turned around, looking conflicted. Indeed, before Lilian left, she had come to see Yulia. But she hadn’t said much, just one odd sentence, warning Yulia not to trust her father-in-law. Then, she left in a hurry. “Yes,” Yulia replied,

A flicker of light flashed through Yvette’s eyes. She had asked casually, but had unexpectedly hit the mark. She had discovered that back then, Lilian had been closest to Yulia, so she asked on a whim. She hadn’t expected to gain any useful information.

Tell me what my mother said to you, and I guarantee that the marriage agreement will never resurface, Yvette said. In reality, the agreement was long gone. She was merely bluffing.

As expected, Yulia hesitated no more. The person was already dead. What harm could it do to spill the secrets!

She said, “Your mother came to see me the night before she left. It was raining heavily in Seacrity. She braved the rain find me, and all she said was one confusing sentence: Be careful. Be careful of your father-in-law.”

Yvette’s brows furrowed slightly. Yulia probably wasn’t lying. Even if she were, she wouldn’t make up something so unbelievable. What did Lilian’s death have to do with Claude? Some truths were slowly coming to light

Having learned what she needed, Yvette turned and left without looking back.

When they left the cafe, Jeremiah mentioned going to buy some books from a nearby street. Yvette wasn’t really interested in attending class anyway, especially after Jeremiah offered to help her get permission from Tobias. She agreed to accompany him

On the shaded path, the scorching sum baked the earth. Apart from a few workers, there were only a handful of people around. Few students from Argrol University were outside at this time, as most were attending classes. Still, that didn’t stop them from attracting countless admiring glances. They were used to the attention and paid no mind.

Walking side by side at a relaxed pace, both remained silent.

“You have a marriage agreement? Is it still around?” Jeremiah broke the silence first.

Yvette’s brows furrowed slightly as she recalled. “I used it to light a fire for the neighbor’s kid in the countryside. It’s long gone,” she replied
