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

After Yvette left, Jeremiah and Emmett entered the room. Emmett stood aside, bowing. “Mr. Chavez, everything is ready. We’ve figured out Caleb’s schedule. We can take action tonight at midnight. Caleb stormed out of the auction yesterday because someone broke into his northern district mansion and stole something”

“He issued an order in the middle of the night-whoever finds the thief will be rewarded 660 thousand dollars. For the locals, that’s no small sum. Some people in Kransbay are itching to move. We haven’t been able to figure out who did it, only that it was a man. Emmett added.

Jeremiah nodded, took off his dark green watch, worth over a million dollars, and casually placed it on the table. He stepped out to the balcony next to the bathroom,

Leaning against the railing, he took out a cigarette and his phone from his pocket. He lit the cigarette, held it between his index and middle fingers, and smoked. With his left hand, he scrolled through his phone while saying “Okay. Go get ready”

In the northern mansion district, the night was hazy, buildings looming in the shadows. Only a few dim lights filtered through the windows, faintly reflecting the figures inside, making them blurry and indistinct.

Thankfully, it was just a dream, though it had felt too real. In the dream, he had been shot right between the eyes, dying a homble death.

Caleb wanted to get up for a glass of water. Just as he put on his slippers, he heard a chewing sound. In the dead of night, it was especially eerie. His hair stood on end, his face darkening with fear. “Who’s there? Come out. Stop playing tricks!”

“Caleb, a voice called out.

Caleb stiffly turned his head and saw someone sitting on the couch. He couldn’t see the person’s face, but he knew they were dressed in black. Judging by the voice, it was a woman.

He turned on the large bedside lamp, instantly brightening the entire room. Only then did he see the person
