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

Bonnie took out a gold-trimmed envelope from the second drawer. The envelope’s surface featured a delicate ink painting of mountains and rivers, clearly crafted with care.

Handing the envelope to Yvette, Bonnie said. “Vve. Winona sent this here. She personally came to our dorm to deliver it the day after you left. It seems to be an invitation to her apprenticeship ceremony on Sunday. She also mentioned that your father would publicly announce your identity at the event”

Bonnie paused, then said angrily, “Yve, you have no idea how annoying Winona is. She said the apprenticeship ceremony is really important and hoped you’d be there on time. Her apprenticeship ceremony and your welcome home party are happening at the same time, but she’s acting like it’s all about her.”

Yvette nodded indifferently, casually putting on a tracksuit. Without a second glance, she tossed the envelope onto the table. She pinched Bonnie’s cheek playfully, her tone lazy. “Let’s go. It’s not worth getting mad over something so insignificant. I’ll treal you to a milkshake”

After ordering their milkshakes, Yvette told Bonnie to go inside while she waited outside. Standing near the entrance with one hand in her pocket. Yvette pulled out her phone with the other hand, scrolling through the news. She came across an entertainment article about Winona’s apprenticeship ceremony.

The entire article was filled with over-the-top compliments-calling Winona a genius, a lady of grace, a role model, and perfect in every way. Just as Yvette was about to scroll past it, something caught her eye.

It was said that Matthew from the Carter family would make a major announcement at the event, urging readers to stay tuned. It was a typical media tactic to add a sense of mystery.

“Miss, your milkshake’s ready.” The guy at the milkshake shop had been distracted while making milkshakes, sneakily glancing at Yvette the whole time.
