Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Rebecca looked at Robert, her teeth clenched in frustration. Robert is more of a hindrance than a help, having damaged the company just to stand up for a woman like Winona

She was supposed to be in Betrico today but hurried back on a private jet this afternoon.

Rebecca stared at Robert, her eyes dimmed with disappointment “Dad, did you and Victor argue with Yvette!”

Robert was taken aback. ‘How did Rebecca find out about this?’ He stood there, bewildered.

Victor sat on the couch, glanced up at Rebecca, and his fingers twitched slightly.

“Yes, how did you and Grandpa find out about this? Today, Yvette ran into Winona at Skyline Plaza. They got into an argument over a girl, and Yvette was carrying a gun. Winona ended up in the hospital, but she’s okay now. Dad wanted to stand up for Winona, and we ran into Yvette at the police station, but nothing serious happened.”

Rebecca paused. I told you all a long time ago not to mess with Yvette. Why didn’t you listen?” Thinking about all the hard work going to waste made Rebecca feel like she could kill someone.

Victor bowed his head. He had almost forgotten about it until Rebecca brought it up.

Back when Yvette first started school and Victor had that clash with John, Rebecca had warned them to avoid Yvette. But they just ignored it.

Robert still didn’t understand why Rebecca and Grandpa were so angry. Yvette? She’s just relying on that so-called Mr. Chavez, What’s there to be afraid of? The Carter family isn’t just nobodies. Is there really anything to be that scared of? Claude often mingles with the elites from Betrico. I don’t believe that Jeremiah’s influence could really be so overwhelming

Robert muttered to Rebecca, “What’s so scared about Yvette?”

Rebecca’s expression was cold, with no warmth in her eyes. She finally understood that her dad still didn’t realize how serious the situation was “You all know about my plan to expand the Carter family business to Betrico, right? I’ve been preparing for a whole year. As soon as I secure the deal for renewable energy, our family can break into Betrico’s high society and secure a place.”

Rebecca paused for a moment. At this point, she could barely control her anger.

Rebecca spoke each word clearly, and now anyone could hear the anger and frustration in her voice.

Thanks to that great daughter-in-law, Winona, and also your contribution, our Carter family won’t be able to enter Betrico’s business community in our lifetime.”

Victor’s expression shifted slightly at these words, and Robert was equally shocked.

The living room was completely silent.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Victor looked stern because he knew how serious the situation whs. With his sister’s stubborn personality, if she spoke so definitively, it meant that the Carter family’s path was entirely blocked with no more opportunities. Not only had Rebecca’s year-long planning completely collapsed, but more importantly the Carter family must have offended someone important. Victor struggled to utter a few words, expressing his own doubts. Is this related to Yvette?”

Rebecca furrowed and looked up. Her perfect makeup failed to mask the stubborn look on her face, and beneath it was a hint of exhaustion.

She gritted her teeth. “Yes, within just four hours, all our projects in Betrico fell apart. Even the most important renewable energy project… I was told just half an hour before the signing that they weren’t going to sign. I’ve already discovered that

two parties went after the Carter family this afternoon. One is Zachary’s benefactor, Howard Yates. And the other.. I never imagined we’d offend her.” Rebecca’s voice was filled with frustration.

‘Did this person strike against the Carter family? It effectively cut off all our future possibilities in Betrico: Robert swallowed nervously and asked, “Who else is involved?”

Rebecca sighed deeply, “It’s Samantha, the General Commander’s daughter in the Betrico Military District and a legendary figure in the business world. She joined the business scene at sixteen and has a ruthless approach. Even though she’s only twenty-seven, she holds absolute power in Betrico’s business circle. She shut down all my options at once, forcing me to urgently return to Seacrity.”

Victor expressed his suspicion, “Sis, what kind of connection could Samantha and Yvette have?”

Rebecca sat on the couch, turned her head, and looked at him. It’s no big deal. It has something to do with the girl who fought Winona. Samantha didn’t even bother to send someone with a message for me. Our Carter family hit her future sister-in-law. Samantha will not forget this slap, and the Carter family can forget about entering the business world of Betrico again,”

Victor repeatedly denied it, “That’s impossible. How could a poor scholarship student get involved with someone as important as Samantha? Did the rumors get it wrong?”

Rebecca let out a bitter laugh. She also wished the rumors were wrong, but unfortunately, she heard every word clearly and accurately.

A single slap from Winona destroyed all the hopes of the Carter family.

Robert now realized the seriousness of his mistakes.

He bowed his head deeply and shrank back.

Claude, looking displeased, slammed his cane hard on the ground, which startled Robert.

He angrily scolded Robert, who looked completely defeated, ‘Are you out of your mind? I already told Rebecca to tell you all not to anger Yvette. What foolishness have you done for someone like Winona, an orphan from a broken home? Are you determined to drag the Carter family to ruin? Why don’t you just drop dead? What’s the point of you living

Claude had raised Robert with these kinds of scoldings since he was young. In his eyes, even if he ended up beating Robert to death one day, it would be justified.

Though Rebecca was utterly disappointed in her father, Robert, she couldn’t help but feel a slight pang of pity seeing him

like this.

Victor didn’t show any reaction. He suddenly remembered what happened with John last time and had been upset with Rebecca for quite a while because of it

“Sis, why did you insist I apologize last time? Was it because of Yvette? What exactly happened?”

Rebecca glanced at Claude, and only after he nodded in agreement did she begin recounting what had happened back then.

“Yes, it was also because of Yvette. Yvette apparently knew a top-level hacker who breached our company’s computers, causing us to lose 160 million dollars. If you hadn’t apologized that day, who knows how far things would’ve gone? We could’ve faced unforeseen losses.”

Victor felt a bit guilty upon hearing this. It turned out he had wrongly blamed his sister. Yet, thinking about Yvette’s scary network of connections back then sent a chill down his spine. ‘Could a girl who is always carrying a gun in her pocket just be an ordinary person?”

He said. “I’m sorry, Rebecca

Rebecca nodded, rubbing her temples. Things had reached this point, and there was nothing more she could do. She had tried her best.

Claude’s sinister eyes glared at Robert and Victor, who were hanging their heads.

He warned the two of them, “That Winona is nothing but trouble. Are you sure the child’s even Victor’s? The Carter family

won’t keep her around, especially since we don’t even know her background. As soon as the baby is born, we need a DNA test. If it’s really ours, I’ll take care of raising it myself. I don’t trust any of you.”
