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

Chapter 429

When they reached the car, Samantha immediately let go of Janice's hand, climbed into Emmett and Charles's car, and swiftly shut the door.

The car started in an instant, leaving only Andrew, who looked dejected, Janice, who was struggling to hide her resentment, and Bonnie who was confused standing at the entrance to Dungo Village.

Andrew turned around and said weakly, "Get in the car. Let's follow Jeremiah's car to the airport." Hearing this, Janice couldn't contain her excitement.

She had only ever seen big airplanes on TV, and now she was finally leaving Dungo Village to board one herself. She swore to herself that, no matter the cost, she would rise above her humble beginnings.

In the end, Andrew managed to rush Bonnie and Janice to the airport just in time to meet up with Jeremiah and the others.

As Janice took in the sight of the plane before her, her eyes sparkled. She had overheard someone mention that this was Jeremiah's private jet.

'How much must this thing have cost?' she thought. 'Bonnie is ridiculously lucky to have met such wealthy people.' Janice knew from Bonnie that Jeremiah was Yvette's boyfriend and that the two of them had a strong relationship.

Though her jealousy was intense, Yvette's earlier kick had left a lasting impression on Janice, one that made her too wary to even think of provoking Jeremiah.

Instead, she set her sights on Andrew. She and Bonnie were born only a day apart, but while Bonnie was Dungo Village's revered guardian goddess, Janice had to carefully navigate her way around people just to survive.

Janice resolved to win Andrew over. She was determined to climb to the top. Once on the plane, Yvette and Jeremiah settled into the backmost seats, drawing the curtains for privacy. Emmett, Charles, and Samantha took their usual seats.

Andrew led Bonnie to sit beside them, while Janice took a seat by herself. As she settled in, Janice sat rigidly, too nervous to look around openly, though her eyes couldn't help but dart from one luxurious detail to another.

She had never dreamed of flying in a private jet. The luxurious life seemed to be beckoning her closer.

Feeling a bit heady, Janice mimicked Samantha by ordering an orange juice, pretending to drink it while eavesdropping on the group's conversation. Emmett casually flipped through a financial newspaper. The stock market had been turbulent recently, and many people had lost fortunes.

Samantha took a sip of her orange juice and glanced at Emmett's newspaper. "So, you've started investing lately? The first thing you do is open the financial section."

Emmett gave a slight nod, setting down his paper with a casual air. "I've put in 70 million, just playing around to kill some time."
