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

"Let go. Andrew," cthe command. Everyone's eyes turned toward the door.

Jeremiah strode in, clad in his military uniform, emphasizing his sleek, upright physique. Tall and imposing, his sharp, well-defined features-blade-like eyebrows and a sculpted straight nose-added to his cold, emotionless eyes and calm, distant expression.

He had just finished a brief meeting and flew back to Seacrity from Betrico on a private jet without even changing out of his military uniform. One could imagine how urgent the situation must have been.

Emmett followed behind, carrying a black briefcase, his expression equally stoic, focused solely on Jeremiah's affairs. though he didn't understand why Jeremiah was in such a rush to return.

As Jeremiah approached, everyone froze in place at once.

The gold star on his uniform immediately drew everyone's attention. It clearly symbolized his rank as a major general in his twenties, an undeniable force in Clusia.

"Where's Yvette?" Jeremiah asked, his words met with a sense of numbness from those present. Clearly, he was there for the girl who had just been arrested.

But who exactly was she? The principal of Argrol University, the Chambers family, the mayor, and right then, even a major general had shown up. The entire police station was on the verge of being turned upside down.

Andrew let go and pushed Daniel away. He stumbled and fell, struggling to get up.

The moment Jeremiah arrived, Daniel realized that he was finished, thinking, 'A major general had personally cto the police station for Yvette.

Andrew shouted. That jerk locked Yvette in the isolation room! Don't stop me! I'm going to beat him up!" Following quietly behind Jeremiah and almost unnoticed, Emmett shot a subtle, unreadable glance at Andrew. Andrew's words confirmed Emmett's suspicions. 'Jeremiah had rushed back to Seacrity for this girl, Yvette, even bringing in that force for her, Emmett thought.

Normally, Andrew would have noticed something off in Emmett's demeanor, but he was too consumed by thoughts of Yvette being locked up.

A storm brewed in Jeremiah's icy and unforgiving eyes as his gaze zeroed in on Daniel, who was still sprawled on the ground.

Daniel trembled under that stare, struggling to breathe and rise.

Jeremiah stepped forward, towering over him, then kicked him back down with his military boot. Everyone in the police station lowered their heads further.

Wyatt felt a headache coming on, thinking. 'Andrew's impulsiveness is one thing; now, even Jeremiah is losing his composure: He continued to ponder, ‘Daniel's the deputy mayor of Seacrity. How's he ever going to show his face in politics again after that kick? After sdeliberation, he finally stepped forward and spoke carefully. "Jeremiah, Daniel is the deputy mayor of Seacrity, after all You." Jeremiah glanced at Wyatt coldly, his eyes filled with undisguised disdain, causing the latter to shadi @K 67%1 Chapter 61 Without a word, Jeremiah-headed straight to the room at the end of the police station's hallway, with Andrew and Bonnie close behind.

Zachary stood there frozen, dumbfounded as he witnessed Jeremiah kick Daniel without hesitation.

He just kicked the deputy mayor like it was nothing. Who on earth is this Yvette to have someone so powerful back her?" Zachary struggled to understand it.

Today's events are simply unbelievable. Even a major general from Clusia stood up for Yvette, Zachary thought it over and decided to stay where he was, waiting for Yvette to cout.

The isolation room was located at the far end of the police station. Dim and oppressive, it had a way of breaking most detainees down **** entered.

Wyatt felt uneasy, worried he had said something wrong.

Just then. Jeremiah approached with a briefcase. He glanced at the anxious Wyatt and pulled out a stack of documents, placing them in front of him.

"Mr. Langford, here's the evidence of Daniel's bribery, collusion with officials, and embezzlement of public funds. You know how to handle this, right?" Jeremiah remarked.

Wyatt was shocked. He quickly reached out to take the documents and flipped through them.

F The more he read, the more alartned he became. Just how many atrocities had Daniel committed over the years het questioned silently.

Even more troubling was how Jeremiah had uncovered everything, even from ten years earlier, in just half a A cold sweat broke out on Wyatt's back. The influence and capabilities of Jeremiah from the Chavez family were far greater day. than he had ever imagined.

Meanwhile, still lying there motionless, Daniel had no clue about the conversation between Jeremiah and Wyatt. He only saw Wyatt take the documents, and then, after looking through them, Wyatt's expression changed. With Jeremiah gone, Daniel regained sconfidence and shouted in Wyatt's direction, “Mr. Langford, I'm still the deputy mayor of Seacrity! Are you just going to stand there while he humiliates me? Wyatt heard the shout and looked at Daniel sympathetically as he lay limp like mud.

He let out a sigh, thinking, 'He still doesn't get it. Jeremiah's evidence is enough to ruin him. This once-proud deputy mayor, prominent for decades, is heading prison.

Daniel had only himself to blame. Of all people, he had chosen to target Jeremiah's love interest.

"Take Daniel into temporary custody, Wyatt ordered.

The police exchanged confused looks. How had they gotten to the point of arresting the deputy mayor? But with Wyatt's order, they had no choice. They approached Daniel, helped him up, and handcuffed him.

Naturally, Daniel resisted, yelling, "Why? Even if he's a major general, he can't just act reckless You have no reason to arrest me. I'll appeal and sue him! Wyatt, you're helping the enemy, and I'll report this to the higher-ups!" As Daniel continued his defiant rant, Wyatt's expression grew cold. 'Still trying to threaten me?' he thought.

Without a word, Wyatt threw the documents in his hand at Dani As he read, his face turned-from gray to ashen, then deathly pale Those were his darkest secrets from the past. 'How did they all get uncovered?' he thought.

Upon realizing the gravity of the situation. Daniel ceased resisting, despair radiating from him af those documents went public, his political career would be over, and he would also spend the rest of his life in prison. As the deputy mayor for so long, he understood the seriousness of his crimes better than anyone. Accepting his fate, he allowed the police to cuff him, his posture slumping as he suddenly looked ten years older. As Daniel shuffled past Wyatt, he paused his shaky steps and askerl, still unwilling to accept defeat, “Who is that man? Even if he's a major general, you don't have to be so humble, do you?"

Having worked together, Wyatt saw no reason to hide the truth. He glanced at Jeremial who stood O at N silently hearby, and leaned in to whisper to Daniel, 'He's Jeremiah from the Chavez family in Betrico. Daniel's eyes widened in shock as he realized. Jeremiah? The Cluvez family? No wonder he's a major general at such a young age. Only the Chavez family in Betrico could produce someone like that.' He should have figured it out sooner. No ordinary major general would command such deference from Wyatt. But it was too late.

If he could do it all over again, Daniel would never have dared to mess with Yvette His biggest regret was having her arrested. Sadly, there was no way to reverse that.

The door to the isolation room creaked open.

el's face, sc**g the papers at his feet. Daniel broke free from the police, knelt down, and picked one up to read.
