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

Nellie didn’t dare to respond to Dennis at all.

She felt wronged because Zachary never talked about his private matters with her. How was she supposed to know Zachary knew Howard?

Winona, seated on the couch, glanced up at the furious Dennis and showed a look of shrewdness.

Winona mustered her courage and spoke timidly, “Grandpa, I believe the situation isn’t as dire as it seems. A prominent figure like Howard wouldn’t act without a compelling reason. Dod. Well, Zachary must have presented him with an enticing offer, which is why Howard is assisting him. I suspect that the Chambers Group might have promised Howard a substantial. share of their equity. If we can propose an even more attractive scentive, there might still be a chance for us to change the outcome.”

Upon hearing this, Dennis turned to look at Winona, who was visibly trembling. His expression was stern, but it had softened compared to before.

He thought Winona’s words made sense. Someone like Howard wouldn’t help the Chambers Group for nothing. Perhaps, Winona said, Zachary had hit a dead end and turned to Howard

Zachary must have promised Howard enough benefits so that he would help the Chambers Group. Whatever the Chambers Group could offer, the Smith family could do the same.

Dennis gave Winona an approving nod and said, “Your words are sensible, Winona. Here’s what we could do: Tomorrow, I’ll pay Howard a visit, and you can accompany me. Look your best.

Winona’s expression changed slightly when she heard this.

Zeke stood by with his head lowered, lost in thought. He wonders. Does Grandpa see both of us as so worthless?”

Zeke glanced at Winona Except when compared to Yvette, Winona was indeed good-looking.

Zeke thought, If what Grandpa said turned out to be true and Winona really got connected with the Yates family, could it change my fate too?”

When he thought about this, Zeke’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Winona like a wolf eyeing its prey.

Dennis ignored what Winona thought and waved his hand dismissively.

Nellie told Winona and Zeke to leave first.

After they left, only Nellie and Dennis were in the living room.

Nellie stood up and helped Dennis sit down.

“Dad, if you let Winona do this and the Carters find out, her engagement could be jeopardized. Winona is my daughter; she cannot be

What respectable family would want such a daughter- in-law? Before, we could keep it a secret without Zachary exposing it, but now the DNA test results are public. Do you think the Carter family would still want Winona? Honestly, if it weren’t for the significant leverage I have over Claude, do you really believe he’d allow Victor to marry Winona?
