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

Chapter 627

Yvette sipped her coffee slowly before setting the cup down and narrowing her eyes. "Answer, and I promise you'll live," she said, her tone extremely oppressive and icy. "Otherwise, I ensure you die right now." Callum and Sage were taken aback by Yvette's arrogance. Sending them to their deaths? That was a bridge too far. The next moment, their eyes widened in shock as a silver pistol appeared on the table, pointed straight at them. They were shocked that Yvette had a gun. She was clearly no ordinary person. Could she thus be a fellow traveler? Callum and Sage exchanged a glance, gritting their teeth. Then, they decided to come clean. Sage explained, "Miss, we shouldn't be enemies. I apologize for the misunderstanding. The attackers were rivals within the Steel Serpents, jealous of our hall leader's brisk business."

Sage added, "That's why they attacked. There was a misunderstanding with Clusia a few months ago during a competition."

As he said this, Sage paused his explanation, carefully watching Yvette's reaction. Seeing no difference in Yvette's demeanor, he felt slightly reassured and continued to speak.

"Have you heard about what happened to Kaiden Harper, the son of our hall leader Larry? He died in Clusia." Sage hesitated, still wanting to test the waters before deciding to say anything more. Hearing this, Emmett, Chris, and even Frankie remained calm and impassive. Due to a longstanding tacit understanding, they knew Yvette had a plan when she spoke.

They had no idea what was happening, but they knew how to play along. The group put on a convincing show.

Sage felt even more relieved when he saw this, thinking, 'I daresay that these Clusians have no idea what happened.

Yvette crossed her legs, twirling her coffee cup with a nonchalant air, and replied casually, "I hadn't heard."

Sage and Callum both believed it. Callum then took over the conversation.

"After Kaiden died in China, the Steel Serpents were wiped out overnight. A power struggle has erupted within the faction, with everyone fighting over the business," Callum said. "I've been marked for assassination because Mr. Waylon Iverson chose me to take over Larry's business. Miss, if you save me, I'll be eternally grateful," he continued.

Frankie and the others smirked, thinking, 'Yvette has impeccable acting. So these idiots are targets because of Kaiden's family's death and the ensuing power struggle within Steel Serpents. The root of the trouble was Yvette and Jeremiah-Yvette killed Kaiden, and Jeremiah sent his men to wipe out Larry's faction.

Little did Callum and Sage know that the person who murdered the Harper family was sitting right there, across from them. If they had, they'd probably wish they were dead. Yvette's eyes narrowed, a wicked smile gracing her lips as she glanced at Sage and Callum's sincere expressions. "I'll save you," she said casually. "But first, get into the hot tub."
