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

Frankic, who was following behind, didn’t know what had happened when they killed the crocodile. He glanced at the still- dazed Jacob and his group and asked, “Mr. Chavez, Ms. Zeller, what’s wrong with them? Why are they all standing there like that

Jeremiah didn’t respond. Instead, he turned his head and took Yyette’s hand, which was still as cool as before. His eyes flickered slightly, and in a hoarse voice, he said, “Let’s go.”

Yvette, as composed and distant as ever, nodded and allowed Jeremiah to hold her hand, completely ignoring Frankie and the others.

At that moment. Jacob and the rest finally snapped out of their daze. They wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words. They could only exchange glances, their eyes wide with realization. ‘Maybe Yvette is right, this rainforest might indeed hold the legendary cannibals, they thought.

With the crocodiles dead, the only way to cross the river was to dive through it. Emmett, Bruce, Chris, Frankie, and the ten soldiers under Jeremiah all looked at Yvette. Even the men felt disgusted by the filthy river, so they expected Yvette wouldn’t dive in.

Seeing them hesitate at the riverbank, Yvette furrowed her brows slightly, her gaze calih, and her tone remarkably composed. “Why aren’t you jumping in? What are you waiting for?*

Jeremiah squeezed her delicate fingers, staring directly at her profile. Rubbing his temples with a hint of helplessness, he chuckled softly. “They’re afraid you’ll find this river water disgusting.”

Hearing Jeremiah’s words, Yvette paused for a moment. When she looked up again, her gaze was icy, and she smiled with a hint of challenge. “Want to race to see who gets to the other side first?” The wild energy in her seemed ready to explode. radiating arrogance and defiance. Without waiting for a response, Yvette released Jeremiah’s hand, and leaped into the river without hesitation. Her bold move left the men standing by the river completely stunned and thoroughly impressed.

Jeremiah glanced down at his now empty palm, squinting his eyes slightly. Well, he might as well follow her lead. Without hesitation, he leaped into the river after her.

Emmett and the others didn’t waste any time either. With both of the bosses already in the water, what were they still hesitating for? They followed suit and jumped in One after another, the ten men Jeremiah brought along also dove in.

Yvette swam ahead for a while, but suddenly, the water beside her began to churn violently, forming a swirling vortex. From it emerged something dark and massive. With a quick glance, Yvette realized there was still another crocodile-this one twice as large as the ones they had faced earlier. As the crocodile’s head surfaced, the first thing it spotted was Yvette.
