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

“Yve, come here, there’s a seat, Bonnie called. Ruby had made her do the backstage cleaning early in the morning as payback for something she had done and had just finished. Bonnie had looked around for a seat, but the only available ones were in the second row.

As soon as Zachary heard Yvette’s name, he immediately looked toward the stage. Rebecca and Nellie, who had been chatting with Jaiden, stopped to look over. Curious, Jaiden followed their gaze and saw a gorgeous girl standing by the stage.

Yvette was still wearing her usual black tracksuit and canvas shoes, though they were new at the time, replacing the worn–out pair she used to wear. All eyes quickly fell on her. She frowned slightly, obviously annoyed by the attention.

When she looked up, the fierceness and defiance in her eyes were hard to miss–dangerous yet captivating. Zachary suddenly stood, saying, “Yvette, do you need a seat? Come sit here.”

The auditorium had quieted down upon the group’s arrival. Most of the students at Argrol University knew who Jaiden and the others were. They kept their voices low, hoping to make a good impression. Everyone knew that being on the right side of those people could lead to job offers after graduation.

After Zachary spoke, hushed whispers filled the room. Jaiden narrowed his eyes and asked. “Who’s that?”

Rebecca looked at Nellie, her tone mocking as she spoke. “You probably haven’t heard. She’s the daughter the Chambers family just found–the child of Mr. Zachary Chambers‘ ex–wife. Despite the irritation on Nellie’s face, Rebecca continued, “Mr. Chambers really dotes on her; she’s his beloved daughter”

Nellie forced a smile and thought, ‘What is Rebecca up to? Is she trying to embarrass me?‘ Then she replied, “You are right, Ms. Carter. A daughter is the apple of her parents‘ eye. I hear you are even more treasured than Victor at the Carter residence.”

Nellie’s words struck a chord. Everyone knew that Rebecca’s high standing in the Carter family had little to do with parental love and everything to do with Claude. Matthew had often made it clear that girls should have stayed at home, supporting their husbands and raising children rather than pursuing careers.

Jaiden, however, was not interested in their bickering. His focus was on Yvette, who leaned casually against the wall, hands in her pockets, completely

Argrol University did not recognize Andrew, so they naturally greeted Simon instead. Andrew quickly spotted Yvette and Bonnie in the corner before glancing at the group in the front row. Except for Zachary, whom he had seen at the police
