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

Chapter 698

After a pause, it was once again Joshua who broke the silence under mounting pressure. "Ms. Zeller, we need to clarify exactly what transpired between you and Yelena in Spaunia."

Turning next to Yelena, whose face was swollen, he continued, "Ms. Lynch, Mr. Lynch, I trust you will both remain composed for the rest of this meeting. If emotions continue to in this high, I am afraid we will have to adjourn for today."

Joshua's demeanor toward Yvette starkly contrasted with his attitude toward them. With Yvette, his tone was polite and bordering on deferential, while with Yelena and Camden, a faint hint of impatience crept in..

The disparity was glaring, and it visibly enraged Camden, whose expression darkened. Jeremiah cast a casual glance at Joshua, but that single look was enough to unsettle the latter so deeply.

Her unexpected cooperation left the entire room stunned. They pondered, 'How does Jeremiah's supposed girlfriend manage to switch her demeanor so seamlessly?
