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

Chapter 391

Lucas' face twisted with a mix of emotions.

He struggled internally, "Zachary is truly nice to me, yet never missed a chance to throw me under the bus. How could I, an ordinary butler, offend the youngest major general of Clusia, especially when he is the future son-in-law of the Chambers family?" After weighing the pros and cons, Lucas made the toughest decision of his life.

He did not even dare to look Zachary in the eye, instead bowing his head. "Sir, times have changed. Young people nowadays are not like us anymore," Lucas mumbled, keeping his gaze fixed on the floor. Zachary sat on the couch, stunned as he watched his once-loyal butler betray him.

He doubted in his heart, 'Is this really the same faithful butler who would stick by me through thick and thin? The speed of his betrayal seems way too fast, not even giving me a moment to react.'

Zachary awkwardly put down his coffee cup, planning to sort things out with Lucas after Jeremiah left Jeremiah flashed Lucas a friendly smile, making Lucas beam with joy.

Lucas exclaimed in his heart, "Yvette certainly has an eye for good looks. The future son-in-law of the Chambers family is really handsome. If I were in Yvette's position, I'd choose Jeremiah too."

Jeremiah glanced at Zachary, who was quietly sulking, then at Yvette, who was clearly planning to enjoy the show while munching on an apple. Jeremiah pulled a big black envelope out of his briefcase and placed it on the table. Jeremiah said, "Mr. Chambers, here's a little gift from me. I hope you like it."

Feeling stunned, Zachary thought, "So that's what this guy is waiting for." Lucas, perceptive as ever, stepped forward, picked up the large envelope, and handed it to Zachary.

Zachary glared at the "traitor" with displeasure and took the envelope. He opened it, and the moment he saw what was inside, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Zachary exclaimed inwardly, "Is this just a gift for the first meeting? A check for thirty million dollars, a deed for a large estate in Mysonna, and a contract for a villa in Betrico? What a generous gift.

"The combined value of these items must be at least a billion dollars." When Zachary reached the last sheet, he was completely stunned. It was a contract for the transfer of 10% ownership of the Chambers Group. Zachary could not help but exclaim, "How is this possible? Where did you get 10% of the Chambers Group shares?"

Upon hearing Zachary's words, Yvette paused and then looked up at Jeremiah. She doubted in her heart, "When did Jeremiah acquire shares in the Chambers Group? It seems like he kept this well-hidden." Jeremiah calmly took a sip of water before saying, "I bought them from some small shareholders

Zachary immediately blurted out, "When did you start?"

and thought, "It's not easy to collect shares from those minor shareholders. Mr. Chavez is really considerate; these shares will save Yvette a lot of trouble later on for controlling the Chambers
