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

hapter 418

Looking around, the secret room was filled with rows of jars, containing at least a hundred people. Charles spoke in a low voice. "Yvette, these people are kept in jars?

"Surrounded by poisonous insects and venomous snakes, and they're still alive? How is that even possible?" This was truly an unbelievable situation!

Yvette took a few steps forward, glancing over the scene. She furrowed her brow slightly. "They can no longer be considered alive. They're merely bodies now, sustaining poisonous insects with their flesh and using their blood to nourish the parasites. It's nothing but a shell."

Charles's face grew serious. The method was so cruel. These people weren't dead, yet they lived in this horrific environment, having their blood drained, with poisonous insects crawling into their bodies. It would be better if they were dead.

Charles said, "Yvette, for Holden to secretly imprison over a hundred people in the basement without anyone noticing, this is no simple matter."

Over a hundred people had gone missing, and yet the authorities hadn't noticed. Holden must have some sort of protection. Otherwise, there's no way he could have gotten away with it.

Jeremiah clearly realized this as well. His brows furrowed, and his gaze turned cold. "I'll have people investigate this.

Yvette, hands in her pockets, a fierce expression on her face, kept her eyes calm and steady. She ignored the poisonous insects around her and moved forward.

Jeremiah immediately grabbed her hand, shaking his head with a serious expression. He spoke in a low voice. "No."

Yvette looked up at him, pulling her cold, slender hand away. "They can't harm me."

Jeremiah frowned and tightened his grip. "What do you mean they can't harm you? Listen to me. Stay close. If you want to do something, I'll do it for you."

Yvette looked into Jeremiah's eyes, raised an eyebrow, and said, word by word, "My blood is the poison to these poisonous insects. If you don't believe me, I'll show you." Charles was stunned. 'Yvette's blood is poison to the poisonous insects? What's going on here?' he wondered.

Jeremiah pursed his lips, remaining silent, and his expression dark. After a long pause, he finally released her hand. "They can't get close to you, right?"

Yvette paused, nodding obediently. She spoke slowly. "They can't."
