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

Chapter 457

Downstairs, Marina and the others noticed the silence from the second floor. It was clear that the people up there weren't going to raise the bid anymore.

With a decisive bang of her gavel, Marina announced that the ran in the cage had been sold for 135 million to the guy in the ghost mask.

The masked man casually tossed a 135-million-dollar check on the table and took the cage along with the man inside.

On the second floor, Yvette watched the figure of the man fade into the distance, her gaze deepening. Just from his back, she could tell how furious he was. He seemed hard to settle down.

Rory, itching to throw in a sarcastic comment, hesitated as Yvette turned to her. There was an edge of irritation about her, a cold aura that made Rory swallow her words.

Yvette said, "I've got things to do. I'm out."

Rory didn't have the right to tell Yvette where to go. She could only hold back her frustration, her expression darkening. "Yvette, Voraxia isn't Dungo Village. If you get into trouble or mess with the wrong people, no one will save you."

Without even bothering to glance back, Yvette turned and left, leaving Rory standing there, eyes burning with anger as she watched Yvette walk away.

She thought, 'How clueless could she be? Does she really think she can just get away with anything? Once this batch is shipped back to the village, I'll make sure Holden hands Yvette over to me, and then I'll make her pay...

At the hotel, Jeremiah sat on the couch, flanked by Emmett, Samantha, and Eagle King, all staring in shock at the man locked in the cage. 'What just happened? Mr. Chavez went out and came back with such a stunning guy? What is going on? they wondered. Charles had stepped out to handle something, and if he were here, he would've recognized the man in the cage.

It was none other than Joe Yoder, the famous scion of Mysonna's underground world and the only heir of the Yoder family, who was equally powerful as the Goodman family.

Joe stared in disbelief at Jeremiah as the latter took off the mask Seriously? This guy's even better looking than me?' he thought. And the three bystanders, he had already categorized them as well: beauty, scholar, and beast.

After spending years in the underworld, Joe had seen all sorts of people, and while these three gave off no malicious vibes, it was still unsettling. He nodded toward the towel gagging his mouth, signaling that he wanted it removed. Samantha turned to Jeremiah, "Mr. Chavez, where did you find such a handsome boy? Shouldn't we loosen his bindings? He looks like he has something to say."

Eagle King studied Joe closely, feeling he looked a bit familiar. But the last time he saw the guy he recognized, the guy was over fifty.
