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

Chapter 653

Howard was shocked by Yvette's words and almost dropped his phone in surprise. He quickly voiced, "Boss, that's won't work. You can't go alone, it's courting death. Those Spaunia pirates have been going rampant for years!" He further explained, "Their numbers keep growing. They're a bunch of savages who are fearless, well-armed, organized, and disciplined. It's incredibly dangerous. We need to wait for the government's orders."

He paused, then continued, "Within a week at most, the government will send people to rescue the crew and the ship. Sunrise Group can afford it no matter how much the government requires."

He sighed, "So, please, listen to me. Don't take the risk because Sunrise Group would mean nothing without you, and I wouldn't know what to do."

Howard spoke his mind all at once, fearing he couldn't stop Yvette. He'd rather face the Spaunia pirates alone than let her go by herself.

Yvette's eyes turned cold. Impassively, she said, "Howard, I know these Spaunia pirates better than you do. Don't worry. Based on their modus operandi, they'll quickly split up the goods they seize, and they won't harm the captives." She elaborated, "They'll use the captives as hostages to negotiate with the international navy that comes to rescue them. In five days, I'm going to the Gulf of Araquiel, and that's settled."

Howard knew Yvette made up her mind based on what she said, and she wouldn't change her mind after she had decided. Howard started to regret it. If he knew Yvette would want to go to Gulf of Araquiel personally, he wouldn't have mentioned

Howard held the phone in silence for a long time and sighed once more. Now, instead of the powerful and influential figure he was in the business world, he was an elderly person worried about a youngster. Listening to Howard's sighs, Yvette rubbed her temples and squinted slightly. She spoke slowly, "Howard, make sure to rest well and take care of yourself." Then, Yvette hung up the phone.

Yvette turned and saw Jeremiah, who walked out of the bathroom half-naked. Water droplets shimmered on his well-built physique and firm abs. Yvette raised her eyebrows, and her eyes revealed no emotion.

At that moment, Jeremiah's phone on the table began to ring. Yvette glanced at it as Jeremiah took a few steps forward to pick it up. The caller ID said "Father".
