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

Richard put down his fork, and everyone at the table didn’t even dare to breathe.

Only Yvette kept her head down, unaffectedly enjoying her meal

This behavior showed a lack of concern in Nellie’s and the other’s eyes, as Yvette heartlessly let Zachary take the heat for her without a second thought.

Nellie silently cursed Yvette, who sat across from her countless times.

Richard noticed it, too.

“Mr. Zachary Chambers, since you don’t appreciate my gesture, I have nothing more to say. But your daughter is already in her twenties. Bullying her own sister is inexcusable. Everyone is here today, so she should explain herself. Can she really rely on the Chambers family to protect her forever when she enters society?” His voice was upset.

Then, he stared at Yvette, indicating he wouldn’t let her go until she explained.

Zachary’s anger flared. He wondered what Richard was referring to by bullying. He knew Yvette wouldn’t waste her time bullying Winona. “You-”

“Who are you?” Yvette interrupted, her voice calm and steady.

Richard’s eyes widened in disbelief. ‘Does she really not know me: She must be doing this on purpose, he mused. Doesn’t she even know who her family invited? How is that possible? She’s clearly trying to insult me.

Winona stood up and nervously glanced at Yvette, looking scared. “Mr. Griffin, it wasn’t intentional. She just got back from the countryside and might not recognize you. Please don’t be upset.”

Then, she glanced at Yvette again, her voice becoming softer. “Yvic, please apologize to him. Don’t make it difficult for Dad, okay? Please. Mr. Griffin’s health isn’t good, so please don’t anger him.”

Winona spoke with heartfelt sincerity and thoughtfulness. She appeared filial and kind, deeply touching Victor and the others.

It was clear to Nellie now that Winona was using Richard to pressure Yvette.
