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

Chapter 426

Samantha looked at Bonnie's serious expression and suddenly laughed. Bonnie was actually quite cute. Samantha then glanced at Andrew. 'Hey... Andrew's so dumb. I wonder if his kid will be as dumb as he is, she thought to herself. Andrew noticed Samantha's strange glance at him and then heard her sigh. He touched his face in confusion and asked, "Samantha, is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?" Samantha didn't have time to respond to him. Instead, she reached out and pinched Bonnie's cheek. The soft feel of her skin was too tempting, so Samantha pinched it a couple more times, Bonnie's face turned red. Seeing this, Andrew quickly stepped forward and pulled Bonnie into his arms. Samantha chuckled. "Alright, alright, what's the big deal? I was just pinching her cheek. Do you have to overreact, Andrew?" Andrew didn't want to expose her behavior. Samantha had always enjoyed playing with beautiful, cute girls. If it weren't for the fact that Samantha had a boyfriend now, Andrew might have suspected that she liked girls.

At that moment, Rafferty, who had just stood up, hobbled toward them with his cane. Yvette gave him a quick glance and saw his hesitant look. "What is it?"

Jeremiah turned to look at Rafferty, exuding an air of nobility and grace. Rafferty was intimidated by their presence, and even his hand holding the cane trembled.

Samantha, Charles, and the others also turned to Rafferty. Bonnie immediately stepped forward to support him, and two policemen followed behind him, stepping aside to make way. "Rafferty, you..."

"Sorry. The villagers made a mistake. I..." Rafferty sighed deeply, his eyes clouded, and the bitterness on his face was impossible to hide.

He continued, "Bonnie, you didn't do anything wrong. You're right. The villagers have grown used to getting things without working for them.

"For money, they even turned a blind eye to Holden's terrible deeds. I was wrong. I shouldn't have played dumb, letting Holden do whatever he wanted just to keep things peaceful for a while.

"We all have to face the consequences of our wrongdoings. It's not your fault. Leave Dungo Village and live your own life. Forget about the identity that's tied you down for so long."

Bonnie's eyes welled with tears as she listened, wiping them away. "Rafferty, I..."

Rafferty waved his hand gently, lovingly patting her head, stopping her from speaking. Samantha, Andrew, Charles, and Emmett watched in silence.
