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

Chapter 466

Eagle King glanced at Rory who was losing her composure and clicked his tongue. He thought, 'If it weren't for her trafficking people and using live humans to raise poisonous insects, she could have been an inspiring one! Yvette squinted slightly. Her hair fell across her forehead, partially veiling her cool gaze. She said calmly, "The moment you decided to leave with a man, you should've been ready to take consequences for your choices. "When he started staying out all night and you discovered he was cheating, you should've left him without hesitation instead of pretending everything was fine. The suffering you endure today is the consequence of your own decisions." Rory glared at Yvette, furious. She had expected her to empathize with her and acknowledge that her downfall wasn't her fault but the men's.

Instead, Yvette's lack of sympathy struck her like a blade. To Rory, Yvette was nothing more than an animal.

"You're heartless!" Rory shrieked at Yvette, her voice trembling with bitterness. "Do you even know what love is? That man manipulated me, broke me down, and made me fall in love with him. I gave up everything for love." Before Rory could say another word, Jeremiah shot, and the bullet pierced her right arm. "How dare you call her an animal?" Jeremiah's voice was cold and dripping with killing intent, leaving everyone shivering on edge.

Emmett's lips twitched. He thought, 'Seriously, who gave Rory the nerve to call Yvette an animal right in front of Jeremiah? She's making things worse.'

Eagle King had been ready to move, but Jeremiah acted faster. Now, his gaze toward Rory was filled with killing intent because he wouldn't allow anyone to be so rude to Yvette.

Charles shared the sentiment. His expression darkened as he stared at Rory. Just uttering the words "animal" was enough to seal her fate.

Samantha glared at Rory as she stepped in to defend Yvette. "What gives you the right to call her that? You let your obsession with love lead you to a tragic end. It's entirely your own doing.

"Complaining and blaming others won't change anything. If you had just had a little courage and left him the moment you found out he was cheating, you wouldn't have ended up in this mess."

Rory looked at the group, all genuinely standing up for Yvette, and a surge of jealousy mingled with a flicker of admiration rose in her chest. She thought that if she had had people like this by her side, things would have turned out differently. Clutching her wounded arm, Rory started pouring out everything she had kept buried all these years. It was the first time she had ever voiced these feelings in front of anyone.
