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

Chapter 636

Jeremiah's words tore away any pretense of dignity from Savannah and her group. The history of Ybaulla's invasion of Clusia was well known around the world, yet the Ybaullan government had always denied it. Now, Jeremiah had laid it bare for everyone to see. Savannah and her group looked visibly uncomfortable, their faces clouded with frustration. Savannah never expected the man she was interested in to treat her so coldly, even demanding that she kneel and apologize. It was utterly outrageous. Used to getting whatever she wanted from men, Savannah now found herself even more determined to win over Jeremiah.

She appeared upset, but in her mind, she thought, 'Men are all the same. They act all perfect in front of their girlfriends, but who knows what they're really up to behind their backs.

Savannah refused to believe a guy like him would stay loyal to just one woman. 'No man is loyal unless he's dead, she thought.

The silence stretched on until it was broken by Thiago's cold, measured voice. He shot a defiant look at Jeremiah, his red hair practically screaming arrogance. "How could you say that to her?" Thiago snapped.

His sharp gaze shifted to Yvette. Without him realizing it, his voice softened, yet still holding an unspoken challenge. "And to this lovely lady, war is one of the ways the world progresses. How can you blame us for what our ancestors did?"

He continued with great conviction, "We had nothing to do with what happened. I hope you'll stop picking on Savannah. After all, she's just a girl. Asking her to kneel and apologize goes too far. Don't you think it's insulting?"

Seeing that Thiago had stood up for her, Savannah seized the moment. She played the victim to the hilt, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Her voice trembling, she implored, "Sir, Miss, I've already apologized. Please don't hold this against me. It's really not a big deal. Thiago meant well, Miss. I hope you can forgive him."

Yvette narrowed her eyes and watched Savannah, the corners of her mouth lifting into a faint smirk. She said nothing, just/ kept watching.

Under her gaze, Savannah's anxiety grew, and a creeping sense of unease began to settle over her. The bus jolted, and she struggled to keep her balance, her body swaying with every bump.
