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

Chapter 414

Bonnie was sweating nervously, her face pale as she clutched her cup. Yvette raised an eyebrow, holding her own cup with a calm demeanor. "No need to be nervous," she said lightly.

Bonnie's heart skipped a beat. 'How could I possibly not be nervous at a time like this? If Sheldon finds out Yvette's in here, it'll be a disaster!' Bonnie was so rattled that she'd forgotten Yvette had entered the village with Sheldon. Outside, Sheldon's face darkened as he heard someone else's voice from within. He yelled, "Bonnie, is there s your room? Open up right now, or I'll break down the door!"

He bellowed again. "Open up! Who's in there with you? Hurry up! If you don't open the door, I'm calling for backup."

in

In the next moment, the door swung open from the inside, and Yvette stood there. Sheldon's hand froze mid-air as he saw her.

"You..." He stammered, "How is it you? What are you doing here? His eyes filled with a terrifying suspicion.

'Why is Yvette in Bonnie's room? Why did she follow me to Dungo Village?' he thought, starting to doubt Yvette's intentions.

Yvette took a few casual steps forward, one hand in her pocket, her expression lazy and unbothered. "I got lost," she drawled, glancing over at Bonnie. "Saw her banging on the door and came in to check it out." Sheldon let out a cold laugh. "Ms. Zeller, cut the nonsense. This room is guarded outside. There's no way you could've even come close, much less entered. Who are you, really? What's your purpose in Dungo Village?" Yvette looked at him lazily, her delicate features cold and indifferent. "No one was here, and the door wasn't locked."

Sheldon's face showed clear disbelief as he turned toward Bonnie, who stood frozen in shock. "Do you know her?" he demanded. Although Bonnie's heart was racing, her body reacted faster than her mind. She quickly shook her head. "No, I don't know her.

"She barged in, and I was just about to throw her out when you knocked. Who is she? Is she another girl you tricked into coming here?"

Sheldon, seeing the anger in Bonnie's eyes and how she wasn't avoiding his gaze, began to believe that they truly didn't know each other. But even so, he still felt a twinge of doubt and glanced uneasily at Yvette. To cover his own insecurity, Sheldon raised his voice, snapping. Bonnie, what nonsense are you talking about? Tricked? Don't be ridiculous and stop accusing me!"

Bonnie shot a quick glance at Yvette and felt a sudden surge of courage. 'With Yvette here, I'm not scared at all, she thought, putting her hands on her hips and shouting back at him, her voice twice as loud as his. When it came to shouting, Bonnie had never lost.

She continued, "Sheldon, am I wrong? You're banging on the door like a mad dog, and now that it's open, you're saying all this weird stuff to her! I told you I don't know her, and you don't believe me?

"Then why are you even asking? Just take this woman and leave. I don't want to see either of you! Stay if you want, but don't cry when Holden finds out and scolds you!"
