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

Inside the car, Jeremiah put away his phone, showing no reaction to whether Samantha would be there or not.

Yvette clearly heard the name “Samantha” and raised her eyes, the corners of her lips curling.

That name had come up quite often since she arrived in Betrico.

She raised an eyebrow and asked lightly, “Childhood sweethearts? Longtime friends? Destined lovers?”

With every phrase she uttered, Jeremiah gripped the steering wheel tighter.

He thought, ‘Am I in trouble? She is being so scary!’

Jeremiah slowed the car, shifted slightly, and held Yvette’s hand with one of his.

His voice was low and deep as he said, “What kind of descriptions are those? Samantha is Andrew’s sister, and we grew up together. Our families did try to set us up, but neither of us liked each other.”

He paused, glancing at Yvette’s expressionless face, deciding that someone had to take the heat.

He gently grazed Yvette’s palm with his fingertips.

He coughed awkwardly and continued, “It was mainly my grandpa. He’s always been trying to pair Samantha and me up.”

Jase was dragged into this for no reason at all.

Yvette withdrew her gaze from Jeremiah and stretched, revealing her slender waist.

Her clear, bright eyes twinkled faintly with amusement as she said calmly, “I see. Just focus on driving.”

Meanwhile, in one of the private rooms at Sky Nimbus, the group of people looked unsettled after hearing the phone call hang up.

The one who mentioned that Samantha would be coming was Jared Welch, a political scion closest to Andrew.

He stared at the silent crowd, who were looking at the phone, and asked nervously, “What’s going on? Why are you all frozen? Samantha is coming-why do you look like that? Come on. Let’s get hyped!”

The others wore sullen expressions.

The one holding the phone was Joel Turner, one of the few people in the room who had Jeremiah’s number.

Even though they all grew up in privileged circles, there were significant differences among them.

Jeremiah had long surpassed them.

He barely hung out and partied with them.
