Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

In the last half hour, most students in the exam room were still grappling with the final tough questions, feeling overwhelmed. Meanwhile, Yvette casually got up, walked to the podium, placed her test paper down, and nodded to the proctor.

Seeing Yvette leave the exam room, the other students were left dumbfounded. They had mixed emotions.

They thought, ‘What happened to the promised torture of difficult questions? There are differences among people. Observing this, the rest quickly buried their heads back into their tests.

The proctor couldn’t hold back his curiosity. He genuinely wanted to see how many questions could be finished in half an hour and how many could be right.

He felt that completing the entire test correctly seemed impractical; maybe just barely passing was feasible. But he was taken aback when he took a closer look at the paper.

At the entrance of Argrol University, Jeremiah drove a black Jeep. Andrew, Samantha, and Charles were inside the vehicle. Andrew took a piece of vanilla toffee that Yvette had casually left in the car, and once he started, he couldn’t stop.

He shook his head as he gazed at the school entrance and said sincerely, “Listen, Jeremiah, when Yvette comes out, she might not be in th0e best mood.

“I’ve heard the exam this time is challenging.” As he spoke, he tossed another vanilla toffee into his mouth.

Jeremiah leaned against the car window and spoke in a low voice, “You’ve already eaten ten pieces of toffee.”

Samantha snatched the last piece of toffee from Andrew’s hand and put it back. She said, “You’re a grown man eating candy. like a kid.”

Charles quietly swallowed the candy and then nodded in agreement, acting as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

Andrew quickly took back the candy and put it in his pocket. He said, “Samantha, you’ve never tried this. Yvette’s candy is incredibly delicious. You won’t find it anywhere else.”

Samantha paused, wondering, “Candy that one can’t find anywhere else?”

Just then, Yvette left the school and spotted the Jeep. She went over, opened the door, and entered the front passenger seat. Once she sat down, she instantly noticed the familiar sweet smell.

She gave Andrew a thoughtful look and said, “Don’t forget to transfer the money. It’ll be 30 million dollars.”

Andrew was caught by surprise. The candy stuck in his throat, making him turn red. He thought, “Thirty million dollars? Are these candies worth that much?”

In the end, Andrew, with tears in his eyes, transferred 30 million dollars to Yvette, feeling his heart shatter. He swore never to eat that candy again.

Normis enjoyed a year–round spring–like climate with great weather and plenty of resources. In the past, it wasn’t a major focus for national support.

However, with the recent boom in tourism, the government had been actively supporting the development of its tourism industry. Normis had become a place everyone wanted to visit.

After the plane landed, Yvette and Jeremiah had a private car waiting at the airport exit. Jeremiah had already sent their luggage via air transport a day in advance.

Ar a villa in Normis, Andrew stood frozen at the entrance. The villa’s gate looked exactly like the design from Skyland, and even the layout seemed the same.

Samantha and Charles just paused briefly, then calmly carried their luggage into the villa, leaving Andrew alone at the entrance.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Watching everyone walk ahead, Andrew called out from behind, “Wait for me!”

In the living room, Emmett, who had been sent to Afria by Jeremiah and had just rushed back to Normis, stood quietly on the side.

Emmett was thrilled to see Jeremiah and Yvette. He quickly stepped forward and slightly bowed. He said, “Mr. Chavez, Yvette, you’re here! The room is ready for you.”

He then nodded toward Samantha and Charles, who had followed Jeremiah in. He greeted, “Ms. Mitchell, Mr. Jameson.” Emmett had already learned about Charles‘ background. Charles was once a dominant figure in the Mysonna underworld and the leader of the Goodman family’s Seventy–Two Chambers undoubtedly a fierce character.

Emmett remarked inside, ‘Yvette’s circle is indeed full of remarkable people; even someone as tough as Charles is willing to take orders from her.

Jeremiah nodded and gave a simple reply.

Yvette’s expression was indifferent. Her voice was cold as she looked at Emmett and said, “Looks like you’re doing well.” Emmett’s mouth twitched. He thought, “Doing well? How did Yvette come to that conclusion? My time in Afria was tough; I was chased by local girls asking if I wanted to have a child with them.

‘Have kids, just like that? Do they think kids are like cabbages that can pop up whenever?”

Finally, two days ago, he received orders from Jeremiah that he could return home. He left Afria as quickly as he could, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

Emmett nodded with tears in his eyes, forcing himself to say, “It’s fine.” The words felt hollow, as insincere as they could be

Andrew walked in and saw a few people sitting on the couch. When he spotted Emmett, he exclaimed inside, ‘What the heck? Why is he back?

Andrew tossed his luggage aside, plopped casually onto the couch, and shouted, “Emmett, I want vanilla ice cream!”

Emmett glanced at Andrew, nodding without hesitation. Then, he went straight to the fridge. Inside the drawer, there were stacks of vanilla ice cream.

Emmett handed the ice cream to Andrew and softly reminded him, “Don’t overeat.”

Andrew nodded and said, “Alright. I knew it, Emmett. You’re the best.”

Charles paused briefly. Samantha was used to it.

Emmett had followed Jeremiah since he was young. He grew up with the group. Since childhood, he had been particularly fond of Andrew, often without any limits.

To others, Emmett was always serious and rarely chatty. People who didn’t know them well might even think he and Andrew were brothers.

Yvette sat on the couch. She raised her eyebrows as she said, “Tm going upstairs to change.”

Jeremiah gently squeezed her fingers. With a serious look, he said, “I’ll join you.”

Andrew looked at Jeremiah with admiration. He thought, ‘See? That’s how one elevates flirting–saying the cheekiest things with a completely serious expression. Impressive, truly impressive.

Yvette glanced at Jeremiah with a faint smile. She lazily curled one side of her lips and said, “No need.” Then, she turned around without a second thought.

Jeremiah watched Yvette go upstairs, then turned to Emmett and said, “The Dungo Village’s documents.”

Samantha wasn’t interested in hearing about this, so she went upstairs too. Soon, only Jeremiah, Charles, and Andrew remained in the living room.

As soon as Andrew heard Dungo Village, he quickly sat up straight. Emmett gave him a glance, then pulled a stack of papers from a nearby folder and handed them to Jeremiah.

Jeremiah flipped through the documents as Emmett explained: Mr. Chavez, Dungo Village is located at the southwest end of Normis, near Glenwood. This village has a long history and is inhabited by poison sorcerers.

“Usually, it isn’t very open to outsiders. Several nearby villages have been developing tourism, but Dungo Village has always turned down the government’s development plans, dragging it out for years. Now, the government has pretty much left it alone.

“To get to Dungo Village, one has to go through a cliff, which is why there haven’t been many visitors. Not much information is available about it. There’s only one interesting point.

“Over twenty years ago, there was an outbreak of plague in Dungo Village that killed about half the population. How it resolved is unclear, and the truth of this story is uncertain. It’s a rumor that came from other villages.”

Andrew asked anxiously, “Emmett, have you heard anything about Bonnie?”

Emmett looked serious and shook his head.

He said, “No, we’ve been asking around, but all we know is that ever since Bonnie entered the village, she hasn’t come out.

“Someone saw her at the bus station; she looked really anxious, almost on the verge of tears. She even paid a hefty sum to hire an unregistered car to take her back to Dungo Village.

“When our people showed the driver her picture, he recognized her, which provided us with a lead.”
