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

Chapter 374

The next day, as instructed by Winona, Layla headed to Argrol University to find Yvette.

The plan was set: Layla would lure Yvette out to a remote area, where they'd hired some rough types from Seacrity's underworld to lie in wait. Once Yvette arrived, she would be trapped like a sitting duck.

Not willing to risk any failure, Winona and Layla had recruited twenty or so burly men. Winona had seen Yvette with a gun before and had no idea what other tricks she might have. They had to be ready for anything.

When Layla arrived at the physics lab, she spotted Yvette heading out. Yvette acted as if she didn't see her, about to walk past without a glance. Quickly, Layla called out. "Yvette! Hey, Yvette!"

Yvette paused, turned, and saw Layla motioning to her in a suspiciously discreet way. "Do you need something?"

After scanning their surroundings, Layla approached with a soft, apologetic tone. "Yvette, I'm here to apologize. I realize now how wrong I was yesterday-I was being petty and thoughtless. It's been weighing on me, so I came here specifically to make things right." Layla's voice was soaked with fake sincerity, her eyes even misting up slightly. Yvette raised an eyebrow, her response as indifferent as ever: "Mm-hmm."

Seeing Yvette's blank face, Layla was fuming inside but couldn't show it. She had said so much and even admitted her mistake, but Yvette didn't respond at all.

Layla thought, 'I've made myself small and played nice. Did Yvette really have to be so cold? Layla forced herself to continue, "Yvette, I really mean it. Can I buy you a coffee, just to show I'm sorry?"

Layla cautiously made her request, hoping Yvette would agree with a nod. Yvette stood there with her hands in her pockets, her gaze cool and unfazed.

After an awkward pause, Layla added hastily, "Or maybe... I know you love desserts. I had fresh ingredients flown in just for
