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

After Claude and Victor left the mansion, Yvette stood before the floor-to-ceiling window; her long dark hair draped over her shoulders, her eyes gleamed with a mysterious light, the skin on her neck was as delicate as fine porcelain, and her expression was indifferent. The moment Jeremiah walked in, he saw the sunlight streaming through the window and casting a soft glow on Yvette. She looked almost transparent, as if she might vanish at any moment. He asked, "What do you think of what Claude just said?" Yvette hummed softly. Her voice was slightly hoarse and her gaze was cold. "70 percent true, 30 percent

false"

Jeremiah nodded, his expression darkening. He thought so too. Claude probably painted himself in a better light out of fear that Yvette would retaliate against the Carter family. But that family's fate was already in her hands. Jeremiah said, "Claude probably wanted to know why Mrs. Zeller had ancient combat power too, but gave up for some reason. Maybe it had something to do with the marriage agreement they had."

If Lilian's ancient combat power was innate, her descendants might have it too. The marriage agreement Claude made then was much safer than those so-called human experiments. He talked so sweetly now, that sly old fox. Yvette's expression was cold. She tilted her head, looked at Jeremiah, and squinted slightly. "Rashad and the data from the human experiments back then?"

Jeremiah did not need to hear the rest. He had already investigated it after discovering Rashad's involvement.

Jeremiah put a hand in his pocket. His expression was solemn. Rashad told everyone the data on those human experiments

had been destroyed, and nothing was kept after the government ban. Therefore, he's the only one who knows everything about the experiments.

"He couldn't have destroyed the data. It's still unknown where they're hidden, but my people are already in the lab looking for clues.

Jeremiah had never mentioned any of this to Yvette, because he knew she would meet Rashad in person one day. So, he had already arranged for someone to enter the lab.

Yvette paused, her gaze lingering. Her long legs under the casual pants she was wearing were unbelievably perfect. With a slight smirk, she changed the topic. "Let's go out for a late night snack."

Jeremiah smiled faintly. His gaze was intense, and he looked elegant and noble. "Is this a reward?"

Yvette Isked and strolled leisurely to Jeremiah. She placed her delicate tanned hand on his broad shoulder, gently patted it, and casually said, "You're paying."
