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

Chapter 392

With his eyebrows lowered, Jeremitali shifted slightly and sat stroght. He told Zachary in a serious tone. “The reason my grandpa hasn’t retired is pretty complicated. Mainly, the higher ips won’t let him step down.

Jase wanted to retire ten years ago, but the person above him insted he stay, so he was still working to this day. Zachary felt a bit uneasy hearing that

He thought, “Jeremiah’s grandfather must be at least in his severies. How can the government be so thoughtless, making a man in his seventies work? What the person above Jeremiali’s grandfather is thinking?”

Zachary shrugged it off. “Your grandpa’s had it tough. Didn’t Mr. Clifford Chavez try to convince him to retire? At his age, he should be taking it easy, maybe start a garden or go bird–watching.

“Health is the real wealth, especially as he’s getting older; he really should focus on it.”

Ideally, he would prefer Yvette to find someone willing to marry into their family. He felt Jeremiah’s status was indeed quite prestigious.

Her calm gaze rested on Zachary and noticed the deep emotion clouding his eyes. She paused
