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

Upon hearing this, Yvette turned to look at Samuel, his brow rated, exuding defiance.

Just then, a white car pulled up in front of the Bamboo Hall, with a black car following behind.

The car doors opened, and an old man got out of the vehicle whose hair was gray and neatly combed.

The old man was dressed in a dark patterned suit that was handmade and worth a lot.

Then, a young boy stepped out. The boy was thin, and he immediately moved closer to the old man as he got out.

The boy lowered his head, counting on his fingers and muttering words under his breath that no one else could understand.

A bodyguard from the car behind handed over a cane that had been prepared in advance.

The old man took the cane and looked at Yvette and Samuel standing on the steps.

From the old man’s position, only Yvette’s back was visible, but he could see Samuel

The old man frowned slightly.

Samuel saw that Yvette was unfazed by his tactics.

Just as Samuel was about to threaten her, he noticed the old man getting out of the car.

Samuel quickly adjusted his suit and walked over, speaking with respect and modesty when he reached the old man.

“Mr. Owens, you’re here. The private room is ready, and I’m waiting for you and your esteemed guests.”

The old man was James, the director of the National Physics Lab in Betrico, one of Clusia’s three most respected elders. James had been a leading figure in Clusia’s physics field, one of the first to study abroad and return to contribute.

It was fair to say James dedicated his entire youth to Clusia’s physics projects.

James witnessed firsthand Clusia’s physics achievements reaching their present level and played an indispensable role. Samuel had only encountered James twice, and this was the second meeting, so they weren’t familiar with each other.
