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.

Joshua seriously considered quitting his job, thinking, 'What kind of twisted bureaucratic system is this? My life is basically at risk just by working here!*

To everyone's surprise, just as they braced for Yvette's resistance she leaned back in her chair, signaling her willingness to answer their questions. Her unexpected cooperation left the entire room stunned. They pondered, 'How does Jeremiah's supposed girlfriend manage to switch her demeanor so seamlessly?

Yelena reluctantly dragged Camden to their seats, and her face was flushed with indignation.

Yvette, by contrast, rested her hand lightly on the table, her ease and confidence making it seem as though she owned the room. Despite being in the military district for the first time, her commanding presence left the others visibly intimidated.

Tim observed the scene from his position at the head of the table, momentarily dazed. Yvette's overwhelming aura made her seem like a seasoned general, and for a fleeting moment, he felt a pang of envy. The coffee in his hand suddenly tasted dull.
