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

Winona gracefully walked to the center of the garden, where Zachary and the others were standing She greeted Zachary and Nellie sweetly, then turned to Robert and his wife. “Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter, hello”

Although Richard didn’t need to show too much deference to the Carter family, since Winona was soon to marry Victor, be still maintained a cordial attitude.

Yulia stepped forward, took Winona’s hand, and showered her with praise. “Winona is my ideal daughter-in-law-good family background, talented, and now with Richard as her mentor. She’s perfect in every way. Any lingering guilt Yulia hard about Yvette disappeared with everyone’s compliments for Winona. Only a girl like her is worthy of being our future daughter-in-law

Robert, equally pleased, nodded and smiled at Winona, but he didn’t immediately respond. Instead, he extended his hand to Richard with a fawning expression. “Ah, Mr. Griffin, you’re as vigorous as ever! The last time I saw you was at the Betrica auction, where one of your paintings sold for 660 thousand dollars. That event is still vivid in my memory! It was such a shame my company had an issue at the time, or I would ve gone for 3.3 million, maybe even 7 million-I regret it so much Robert’s tone sounded genuinely regretful.

Richard enjoyed hearing this, and his attitude toward Robert warned. “Mr. Carter, you’re too kind. That painting only fetched such a price because the elite of Betrico were being generous. It’s nowhere near as great as you say. But with Winona soon to join the Carter family, we’ll all be family soon. I happen to have an earlier piece of mine. If you don’t mind, Mr Carter, you can come by Betrico and pick it up whenever you like.”

Robert was overjoyed. As expected, Winona is the bridge that’s changed Richard’s attitude toward me. A few years ago in Betrico, Richard wouldn’t have even looked at him. But now everything was different. This shift in attitude strengthened Robert’s resolve to announce the engagement today. To make sure nothing could go wrong, he had already had Yulia firalize the engagement details with Nellie before coming.

Victor’s lecherous eyes were fixed on Winona.

From the moment Winona entered the garden, she could feel Victor’s gaze on her. She deliberately pretended not to notice, teasing him by keeping him on edge. Once she felt he had waited long enough she shot him a shy, fleeting glance before quickly looking away. This whole act had Victor completely hooked, his eyes glued to her.

All this time, Zachary, who had been standing silently, glanced toward the garden entrance. Not seeing the person he was waiting for, he furrowed his brows. Ignoring the ongoing conversation, he called Lucas over. “Go check upstairs. Why hasn’t Yvette come down yet at this time?”

Lucas nodded and quickly walked out of the garden to look for Yvette.
