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

Emmett remained wary of Yvette, as he was of anyone who appeared around Jeremiah. His duty demanded extreme caution to ensure nothing went wrong. He couldn’t help but question Yvette’s presence.

Yvette’s sudden appearance at the auction on such an important day was highly suspicious. Even if she was here by coincidence, her presence might disrupt their plans. Nothing was certain

Emmett thought Yvette was a hindrance. If a conflict broke out later, he would have to protect her, and it would be a burden.

After glancing at Yvette, who remained silent with her eyes lowered, Emmett hesitated before cautiously asking, “Ms. Zeller. did you come here alone?”

Yvette turned and glanced at Emmett, her eyes filled with their usual indifference. “No, I came with a friend. He went to take care of something”

Shocked. Emmett thought, Retreat? Jeremiah had meticulously planned this for days, waiting for Caleb to appear so they could finally capture him

Emmett could not understand Jeremiah’s intention in withdrawing their men, but he knew it was because of Yvette. This time, Jeremiah was being far too ferational.

Regardless, Emmett was loyal to Jeremiah to the point of following him to death without hesitation. Still, his resentment toward Yvette grew.

If it weren’t for Yvette, such a carefully planned operation that had cost much manpower and resources would not have beeri abandoned at the last minute.

However, Emmett knew he could not change Jeremiah’s decision. He nodded reluctantly. “Understood, Mr. Chavez. I’ll give the orders now.” With that, he stepped out of the room.

Yvette rested her left arm, her beautifully tanned skin visible at her wrist. Her strikingly beautiful face followed Emmett’s exit with a calm expression. Then, she pursed her lips slightly. “Did I offend him?”

Jeremiah, who had been pouring coffee, paused as he thought, ‘She’s sharp. Emmett thought he had hidden his displeasure well, but Yvette had already.noticed it

“No. he doesn’t mean any harm. He just doesn’t understand why you’re here,” Jeremiah replied.

Yvette turned, staring at Jeremiah differently. After a few seconds of silence, her tone became more serious. “Aren’t you curious why I’m here?”
