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

Chapter 378

Yvette looked at the deranged Winona, her voice steady and cold. "You reap what you sow."

Hearing this, Zachary paused for a moment. He looked at Winona and said with a heavy heart, "Winona, it was your choice to take what you thought was an easy path. Your jealousy has destroyed you. "Yvette never had you in her sights, and deep down, you know it. You just don't want to admit it. Rather than living on your own merits, you chose to cling to the Carter family, letting hatred cloud your mind. "Everything that has happened to you-you have only yourself to blame."

Zachary sighed and felt conflicted. Although Winona was not his biological child, he'd raised her for over twenty years, never treating her unfairly. He'd done all he could, and now he felt no guilt or obligation. Without the Chambers or Smith families, Winona could have survived on her own-Nellie had invested so much in her education. Even as a dance instructor, she could have led a decent life.

Instead, Winona chose to degrade herself, depending on the Carter family and harboring malicious intent, even going so far as to kidnap Yvette. This was the point of no return.

Winona's face twisted as she clutched her stomach in pain, her bloodied fingers trembling as she pointed at Yvette, her voice choked with bitter resentment.

"Yes, I'm jealous! Jealous that she gets everything without lifting a finger. Why is she the Cyanbird, while I have to use her name to achieve my goals, and only for her to ruin it all and turn me into a laughingstock?

"If she hadn't exposed me, none of this would've happened! We could have coexisted peacefully, and it's all her fault. Even now, you're blaming me! My only mistake was not finding her sooner and ending her." Winona's mind was consumed by her hatred, and her red-rimmed eyes fixed on Yvette with a murderous glare.

Yvette sat there, looking calm and laid-back, her gaze thoughtful and eyes cold. She looked at Winona seriously and said, "You can't kill me."

Those four words, spoken with absolute certainty, shattered Winona's final sliver of composure. The words echoed in her mind, relentless, as her stomach pain intensified, cold sweat trickling down her face until she was as pale as a ghost. Zachary's eye twitched. Yvette's talent for driving people mad was unmatched. The impact of those four words on Winona
