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

Rory was taken aback, her expression immediately turning cold as she looked at Yvette with caution. ‘No one in Vorazia knew her true identity except for a few close confidants. How could this Yvette know?‘ she wondered.

Rory had climbed to where she was today through sheer willpower. If she hadn’t been careful, she would have been devoured in this man–eating Golden Triangle long ago.

Rory stared at Yvette with a sinister look. “How did you know my identity?”

Sitting on the sofa, arms crossed, Yvette watched Rory calmly. She curled her toes, still maintaining her indifferent demeanor, her beautiful almond eyes slightly narrowed. “I guessed. Do you believe me?” she replied slowly.

Rory immediately pulled out a dark pistol from her pocket, aiming it at Yvette.

She shouted, “Do you think I believe you? Do you take me for a fool? Who sent you here? Best tell me the truth, or I’ll make sure there’s no place for you to hide within ten miles of here.”

Seeing the enraged Rory Yvette remained unperturbed. She simply curled her lips, her flawless face exuding a casual air. In a blink, Yvette extended her slender, fair fingers, and the next moment, the gun in Rory’s hand was in Yvette’s possession.

Lucille, kneeling on the ground, was stunned by the sight. So fast, she couldn’t even see how Yvette managed to snatch the gun.

Rory was equally shocked. Just as she was about to call for help, Yvette twirled the gun in her hand and then tossed it onto the sofa without a second glance.

Rory’s words were abruptly cut off. Yvette had taken her gun but then casually discarded it. ‘What was she planning?” she wondered.

Rory took two cautious steps back, her eyes fixed on Yvette, filled with confusion. In terms of presence, Rory’s aura had been completely overshadowed by Yvette.
