Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Jimmy saw Hector stand still at the door for a long time. He couldn’t figure out what Hector was thinking, so he stayed by the latter’s side and kept him company.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Bonnie came out of the room.

Hector looked past Bonnie and onto Yvette, who was eating. His eyes narrowed slightly. With just one glance, he recognized Yvette. Even with her head down, Yvette’s features from her childhood years were still vaguely visible.

Bonnie was startled by the sudden appearance of a strange man. Politely, she asked. “Hello, sir. Can I help you with something?”

Bonnie’s words caught everyone’s attention, including Jeremiah’s and Andrew’s, who were chatting with their backs toward

the door.

Jeremiah and Andrew turned to look at the door. Jeremiah even gave Hector a blank yet piercing and cold look.

Instantly, Hector’s body tensed up. He sensed that Jeremiah was dangerous.

Similarly, Andrew frowned. After all, no one would be happy to be interrupted during a meal. “This guy looks decent, but what is he up to?’ he thought.

Andrew wondered if news got out earlier at the police station, so people were trying to approach Jeremiah now that they knew his identity. With that thought. Andrew’s expression also seemed grim

On the other hand, Hector was slightly confused. He didn’t understand how he had offended the two men without saying a word.

Meanwhile, none of them noticed the brief moment of shock in Yvette’s eyes when she looked up.

“Yvette, it’s me, Hector,” said Hector.

Jeremiah didn’t expect the man at the door to know Yvette, not to mention how Hector seemed like a well-acquainted elder. Thus, Jeremiah withdrew the coldness he exuded.

“Sir, you know Yve? Come on in, then.” Bonnie invited Hector politely.

However, Hector didn’t move. Instead, like a friendly old neighbor, he thanked Bonnie kindly.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Let’s talk outside, Yvette said coldly,

Hector wasn’t surprised and showed no displeasure at Yvette’s attitude. Instead, he looked at her affectionately and nodded, saying, “Okay, I’ll wait for you outside. No rush. Take your time to finish eating.”

Jinuny’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he heard that.

After all, Hector was known for being stern and cold at the company, showing no emotion. When had he ever shown such an attitude to anyone? I find it hard to accept how she spoke even as an outsider, thought Jimmy as he saw that not only was Hector not mad, but he was also being very gentle.

Jimmy questioned his life so much that he even wondered if the world was ending.

Meanwhile, Hector closed the door, walked to the other end of the corridor, and instructed Jimmy to have his bodyguard bring the briefcase from downstairs.

Juside the private room, Yvette stuffed herself absentmindedly and proceeded to take off her jacket. She wore a simple white crew-neck T-shirt underneath, paired with casual pants, and those familiar worn-out canvas sh

Andrew found Yvette quite interesting. One might say she was poor, but Yvette could easily wager 100 million dollars against Ethan and not care much about the money she won since Bonnie said she passed it to the guy who delivered her the money without much thought.

Yet, it seemed sort of true to say Yvette was poor because she was always in the cheapest white T-shirt and casual pants with a black jacket and canvas shoes.

In fact, if it weren’t for Yvette’s stunning looks and undeniable demeanor, she would be invisible in a crowd in that outfit.

“You guys should eat first. I’m heading out for a bit,” said Yvette in a low voice as she walked out calmly.

Andrew joked. You better hurry back, or we’ll finish everything, and you’ll end up starving!”

Yvette smiled but didn’t say anything.

Jeremiah watched Yvette’s slender back as she left, thinking. How is this girl not gaining anything with everything she eats? She’s still so skinny. I should bring her out for meals more often

Yvette stepped outside and saw Hector in the distance, smoking. His figure was slightly hunched. She sighed softly as she thought. Why did he show up when we’re not meant to see each other again?

Then, Yvette returned to her carefree, slightly rebellious demeanor. She lifted her foot and walked over. Hector looked up.

and their eyes met.

Hector was excited, but Yvette’s gaze remained calm and steady. Under her gaze, Hector gradually calmed down.

He put out his cigarette and asked, “Yvette, have you been doing well all these years?”

Yvette nodded nonchalantly, lazily leaning against the wall, and replied indifferently. “It’s not bad, Hector.

Hector shuddered as Yvette’s voice brought back memories. He remembered how Lawrence Ross chose her among 1000 children when she was little.

At five, Yvette had shown remarkable talent. While other kids took three days to learn the piano, she only needed half an hour. No matter how challenging the piece or obscure the notes were, Yvette could master them all effortlessly.

Lawrence also raised Yvette to be his successor. She might already be a world-famous pianist if it weren’t for that incident.

Yvette was the most talented and outstanding child Hector had ever seen. It was a pity that Lawrence destroyed such a genius because of his selfishness.

From age three to eight, Hector treated Yvette like his own child. However, Yvette left after that and was gone for more than ten years, only to reappear then.

Hector, a man in his forties, teared up as his voice trembled. “Yvette, Lawrence regretted what happened during his final moments. He said he was sorry. If he could choose again, he definitely would..

Upon hearing that, Yvette lifted her head and sneered. “He would what? Expose his son for plagiarizing a student’s compositions? Mr. Ross wouldn’t do that. Hector, you know it very well.”

Hector’s face changed because he knew Yvette was right. No one knew Lawrence’s sellish nature better than he did.

“Yvette, Mr. Elliot Ross has been resting on his laurels for all these years. He has no talent. He’s still using the compositions you left behind Mr. Derek Ross said that if you want, he’ll reveal the truth and return wha

rightfully yours,” said Hector.

Hector looked at Yvette with hopeful eyes. He truly wished Yvette could return to music and not waste her talent. He was confident that it wasn’t too late even if Yyette started then. With her talent, her future was limitless.

Yvette looked down, feeling both irritated and indifferent. She looked at her hands, thinking about how much blood had

I’m done playing. Tell Derek not to look for me anymore.” said Yvette. Yvette knew that Derek was looking for her all those years. However, she didn’t care to respond. She hadn’t expected to be discovered in a place like Seacrity. So annoying, she thought.

Hector wanted to say more, but he knew it was pointless when he saw Yvette’s increasingly cold face. Since she was a child, nothing could change her mind once she had decided.

Still, Hector lowered his voice and pleaded, ‘Give me your number, Yvette. I’m heading back to Mysonna tomorrow and won’t be in Seacrity for a while.”

Yvette paused, gave her phone number, then turned and left.

Hector stood still for a long time, staring in the direction where Yvette had disappeared. His gaze was distant and heavy as if he was seeing through the past, observing all the dust and glamour throughout the years.

After a while, a bodyguard came up and handed Hector his briefcase. Hector glanced inside to ensure that everything was okay. Then, he instructed the bodyguard to deliver it to Jimmy with a message before flying back to Mysonna

Before he boarded the plane, Hector made a phone call after some consideration.
