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

Chapter 427

In the east yard of the Jacobs residence, Sheldon lay in bed, hearing the explosions outside. Panic gripped him, but his body wouldn't respond.

He had no feeling in his lower half and could only scream in desperation. He yelled for what felt like an eternity, but not a single maid came to his aid. Furious, Sheldon grabbed the vase from the bedside and threw it to the floor, shattering it into pieces.

Finally, the door creaked open. Sheldon's heart lifted, and he looked up, only to have his expression instantly darken when he saw who had entered. It was Janice, who had just run out of the crowd outside. Janice pushed the door open and walked toward the bed. Sheldon glared at her, seeing her cautious demeanor, and snapped. "What are you doing here? Who let you in? What's going on outside?" Janice studied Sheldon. He genuinely seemed to know nothing, so she took a few steps forward, her voice barely above a whisper, "You... you're not getting up? Don't you know what's happening outside?" Sheldon glared at Janice. If he could move, he would have slapped her. Janice comes all the way here in the middle of the night just to ask me these stupid questions?' he wondered.

He shot her a look of contempt and growled. "Spit it out. What's happening outside?"

away. If he had Janice confirmed that Sheldon truly had no idea his father had died and that the villagers had been taken known, he would not be so calm. It was also clear that something had happened to Sheldon's legs, and he couldn't move.

A sinister smile slowly crept across Janice's face as an idea took root in her mind. She had already made an enemy of Yvette, and simply leaving with them wouldn't do.

But since Yvette was willing to risk coming to Dungo Village for Bonnie, it meant she cared a lot about Bonnie.

If that's the case, then I won't hold back. Bonnie's the softest-hearted one... Janice thought.

Sheldon, startled by Janice's smile, barked. "What are you doing now?"

Janice fixed her gaze on Sheldon, her eyes deep like a phantom in the night. With malice in her voice, she said, "Sheldon, the Jacobs family is finished.

"Your father is dead, and the entire Dungo Village has been taken by the police. I guess you're too injured to move, huh?" Sheldon felt a shiver run down his spine at the crazed look in Janice's eyes. Summoning all his strength, he shouted at her. "Janice, stop making stuff up! Not a word of what you're saying is true. Who could've killed my father?"

Deep down, Sheldon was also uncertain. 'If nothing happened to Dad, why hasn't anyone come to check on me after all this time?' Fear began to seep into him as he wondered.
