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

Chapter 461 3 Joe hung up the phone, knowing that if Carl found out he was with Yvette, he would definitely feel at ease.

After they left, Yvette finished her shower and stepped out of the bathroom, only to find Jeremiah standing by the window. His tall, imposing figure cast a sense of unapproachable aloofness, even from behind. Hearing Yvette's footsteps, Jeremiah turned around, casually grabbing a towel and looking down at her. His eyes, deep and unreadable, flickered with an emotion that was hard to explain.

The droplets of water traced down Yvette's fair neck, glistening in the light. Her skin, smooth and soft, shimmered with a tempting glow.

Jeremiah looked away to avoid eye contact and slowly wiped Yvette's wet hair with the towel. His eyes never left her as he asked in a low voice, "Why did you agree to help Damian train the Seventy-Two Chambers?" Jeremiah wasn't curious about Yvette's connection to Deadlock. What really intrigued him was how Damian had convinced her to train such a fierce team.

Yvette lifted her gaze, looking calm. She looked at Jeremiah's handsface and said in a cold voice, "It's a debt of gratitude. He saved my life years ago." It was the only tYvette had lost control of the toxins in her body, going into a frenzy. It was Damian who had saved her life. An eye for an eye, and a favor for a favor. That had always been her belief.

Jeremiah's grip tightened suddenly. He thought, 'A debt of gratitude? She made it sound so simple, but the truth must be far more complicated.

There was no need to ask further. Without saying a word, Jeremiah pulled Yvette into his arms, holding her waist tightly, and at that moment, his silence spoke louder than anything.

Nestled in Jeremiah's embrace, Yvette felt a warmth she had never known before. From the moment she was born until now, his arms were the only place that had ever felt like home.

The next afternoon, many men in black entered the hotel and went straight to the floor where Yvette and her people were staying. A door opened from the inside, and the leading man, along with the others, bowed their heads respectfully, greeting, "Mr. Yoder." Joe nodded. "I didn't expect you to be so quick." An hour later, the hotel was cleared out. The only people left inside were Yvette, Jeremiah, and their people. The door opened again, and Joe cout, dressed in a custom-made black suit and polished shoes. His entire demeanor had shifted from yesterday's casualness to one of cold, calculated authority, and the black-clad men from before followed him in. Samantha, Emmett, Charles, and the Eagle King watched Joe's complete transformation. It was true that clothes made the man, but as soon as Joe spoke, they all realized that, despite his polished appearance, he was still the sguy as before. Joe said, "Your charming boy is back, Yvette." Jeremiah handed a glass of water to Yvette, glancing at Joe with a raised eyebrow. Feeling his gaze, Joe felt timid again.

Just then, an elegant middle-aged man named Felix stepped out from behind Joe, bypassing the others and walking straight up to Yvette.

He bowed and said, "It's been a while, Ms. Zeller. I apologize for the trouble with Mr. Yoder's situation. Mr. Carl Yoder askedto thank you and said that if you cto Mysonna next time, pay a visit to the Yoder family." 1/3 Chapter 461 Felix looked very humble. After all, this was someone who had served Carl for years, and even who never shown such reverence.

facing Damian, he had Yvette took a sip of the water, her fingers lightly grasping the edge of the glass. Her expression remained indifferent, and her gaze was as cold as ever. Hearing his words, she simply nodded and replied, "Sure." Just that one word seemed to satisfy Felix to no end. After all, it was hard to get her to say yes.

Samantha, Emmett, and the Eagle King couldn't help but marvel at the situation. They thought, "This guy is representing Carl, yet look at Yvette's attitude. Did she just dismiss someone with one word without pissing him off?' Felix clapped his hands, and immediately, a black-clad bodyguard stepped forward, carrying a black box. The man smiled faintly, showing politeness toward Jeremiah, though it was clear that he wasn't as deferential as he had been to Yvette. He thought, "The grandson of the old general from Clusia is indeed no ordinary person. "Thank you for helping Mr. Yoder yesterday, Mr. Jeremiah Chavez." Felix said, "Mr. Carl Yoder is extremely grateful. This box contains a gift for you and Ms. Zeller, wishing you both a lifetof happiness." Samantha cast a glance at Felix, not surprised at all. She thought. He had been working for Carl long enough to know how to deliver a message with finesse.

'As for the blessing and gift, Jeremiah is unlikely to turn it down. If it were just a simple gift, he probably wouldn't have even spared it a second glance.

Jeremiah understood the unspoken message from Carl. He raised an eyebrow with his gaze fixed on the black box and replied with a calm nod, "Tell Mr. Carl Yoder that I appreciate it." Emmett stepped forward to take the gift. Felix then instructed the bodyguards to hand over the prepared gifts for Samantha, Charles, Emmett, and the Eagle King.

Turning back to Yvette and Jeremiah, Felix said again, "Ms. Zeller, Mr. Jeremiah Chavez. Mr. Carl Yoder is eagerly awaiting your visit to Mysonna. He hopes to personally thank you both one day." After finishing his words, Felix turned to Joe. "We should be leaving now, Mr. Yoder." Joe, hearing this, couldn't help but pout. He regretted not waiting longer before reaching out to his family. He stepped forward to say to Yvette, "Yve... I mean, Yvette, next tyou're in Mysonna, you have to contact me." Yvette flashed him a small smile. "I will. Go hnow." Joe nodded at Samantha, Charles, and the others before following Felix out.

Samantha looked down at the beautifully wrapped gift box she had just received from Felix. She opened it in front of the others. Emmett, the Eagle King, and Charles did the swith their gifts.

As Samantha opened her box, a diamond necklace gleamed brightly. She picked it up, examining it before glancing at the others. "Oh my goodness, only Carl would give away a 15-million-dollar diamond piece like it's nothing." Emmett opened his box to reveal a snuff bottle. Judging by its condition and craftsmanship, its value was easily in the srange as the necklace-around 15 million dollars.

The gift for Charles was an antique gun from the last century, a rare collector's item worth a fortune.

The Eagle King, however, found a simple note in his box. It read only a sentence, "We're even now." Yvette's gaze darkened as she observed the gifts in everyone's hands.

Charles said in a low voice, "In just one "ght, Carl managed to dig up everyone's background and preferences. His strength 2/3 19:16 Thu, Dec 12 @ GB Chapter 461 is no joke."

The gifts were meticulously selected according to their tastes. The diamond necklace, the gun, the antique-each one aligned.

perfectly with the recipients' personalities, except for the Eagle King's gift, which left him a little puzzled. Samantha, curiosity piqued, stared at the gifts on the table, especially the ones for Yvette and Jeremiah. "What do you think Carl has chosen for you two?"

Emmett, Charles, and the Eagle King put down their gifts, their eyes shifting to the box on the table. They thought that if Carl O at if Carl Kad such an eye for luxury with them, surely he would have something special in store for Yvette and Jeremiah. Without a word, Jeremiah picked up the box, peeling off the wrapping. Inside was a plain old box. When opened, it revealed matched gemstones shaped like a dragon and a phoenix. The quality was decent, but their value- at most, around 25 million dollars.

They exchanged confused glances, thinking, 'Carl's gift for the couple is quite unexpected, especially given his usual flair for extravagance.

Just then, Jeremiah's phone, which had been lying on the table rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from Jase. Seeing this, he frowned.
