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

Chapter 357

Jase continued. "Tomorrow, after we meet the granddaughter James recognized, check her background. If she's manipulative or intentionally getting close to that old guy with bad intentions, you need to be cautious. I'm worried his unstable mental state might be exploited by someone with ulterior motives. If the secret of the physical research in James's hands is stolen by another country, the loss would be unimaginable. I just can't figure out what kind of girl could catch that cranky old guy's fancy; it's really strange." Jase's words carried discontent and suspicion about the granddaughter James recognized.

Jeremiah placed the peeled shrimp into Yvette's bowl, and before Jase could say anything more, he interrupted him. "Grandpa, let's be careful with our words and actions."

Jase was taken aback. 'What does this brat mean by that? What did I say that was wrong?'

Clifford and Aurora also looked at Jeremiah, a bit puzzled.

The only one at the table who was calm was Yvette, who continued eating the shrimp Jeremiah had peeled for her, casually swinging her little feet under the table, looking very relaxed. Clifford suspiciously asked Jeremiah, "Do you know James's new granddaughter?"

Before Jeremiah could answer, Aurora spoke first, winking at everyone while saying, "How could it be? Jeremiah wouldn't know James's granddaughter. Other than Yvette, he definitely wouldn't know any other strange woman." Aurora confidently guaranteed this while discreetly kicking Clifford under the table. 'This man has no sense at all; why would he ask that with my daughter-in-law here? Isn't that digging a pit for my son to jump into?"

Clifford caught on, awkwardly coughing and glancing at Yvette, feeling a bit guilty. 'But my daughter-in-law is really a true daughter-in-law; that kick almost sent me away!

Jase, worried that his comment might upset the young couple, quickly chimed in. "Well, Jeremiah surely doesn't know that mysterious woman."

Jase, Aurora, and Clifford all waited for Yvette's reaction, and the dining table suddenly fell silent.
