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

Samantha choked up for a moment and thought, ‘Since he’s not afraid of losing face, why should I be?‘

Samantha sat back in her chair, glanced around at everyone. She cleared her throat gently and said, “Three years ago, I went to South East Aploth to expand our company’s projects and partnered with a local firm. However, they pulled a fast one on me by hiring someone to rob me of my wallet and luggage. Unable to reach anyone at that moment, I ended up encountering him in a dark alley near a bar.”

As Samantha spoke, she pointed to Charles, whose face was stone–cold, and her expression became a bit unnatural. After a brief pause, she continued to say, “At that time, he seemed to be wounded by a gunshot in the alley. I noticed a black suitcase nearby, filled with quite a bit of cash. So, I just took a few bills to tide me over.”

Jeremiah glanced at Samantha and thought, “If it were as simple as that, Charles wouldn’t be this angry.”

Upon hearing this, Andrew felt immense sorrow and anger. He thought, ‘None of us knew about this. That bold and reckless South East Aploth company actually dared to target his sister. What an idiot!”

Andrew was furious and asked, “Samantha, what’s the name of that company? Do they go bankrupt?”

Samantha glanced at Andrew, and said, “Of course, I wouldn’t let someone like that off easily. After I came back, I used my own ways to bring that company down.” Thinking about it now, her voice turns cold. Then she continued to say, “I brought that company down back then and the person behind the scheme is probably picking trash somewhere now.”

Andrew thought Charles was upset over this, so he quickly patted Charles on the shoulder and said, “Bro, if it’s because my sister took your money, I apologize for her. Let me treat you to a meal and some drinks, and please don’t be upset anymore.”

Charles looked at Samantha.

He said with his eyes flickered, “Go on.”
