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.

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.
