Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Robert, bruised and battered, kept muttering on the way back to the Carter residence.

Victor didn’t want to hear a word and used an excuse to get out of the car and leave.

In the end, Robert decided not to go back to the Carter residence either.

Robert thought, Facing Yulia, the nagging wife, was less appealing than visiting Winona at the hospital.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

In Ward 305, the clock on the wall had already struck twelve, but Winona wasn’t asleep yet.

She stood by the window in her hospital gown, her body still slim except for a slight bulge in her belly.

Her face was as pale as a ghost. With wide eyes, she stared at the moon, lost in thought.

Winona thought, ‘Did Yvette get caught or not?

Winona couldn’t sleep unless she knew the result.

Robert mumbled as he pushed the door open.

Hearing his voice, Winona eagerly looked towards the door. “You’re here,” she said.

Robert didn’t notice that Winona was standing at the window and was startled by her sudden voice. “Who is that?”

Once he realized it was Winona, Robert patted his chest and said in a tone that was slightly off. “Why aren’t you sleeping in the middle of the night? What are you doing?”

Winona quickly changed her expression to look sweet and innogent. “I… how can you yell at me? I was scared all day. Your phone was off! I couldn’t sleep, worrying something happened to you.

Robert was deeply moved upon hearing her words.

After being humiliated by Claude, Robert regained his confidence with Winona.

He quickly went forward to hug Winona, and she leaned into his embrace.

A sinister smile appeared on Winona’s face in places out of Robert’s sight.

“Winona, I’m sorry. I got scolded by Claude, and I took it out on you,” he explained.

Winona’s heart sank when she heard Claude had gotten involved

She cautiously asked as she slipped out of Robert’s arms, “What’s wrong? Why did Claude call you back? Was Yvette arrested? Is she still at the police station? How could a girl like her have a gun? That’s terrifying.”

There was a touch of hope and a tremble in Winona’s voice, but Robert didn’t notice it,

Robert knew Winona would ask about it, was momentarily speechless, and didn’t know how to tell her about today’s events After much thought, he finally spoke.

“Well, Winona, Yvette has been released. Let’s not pursue today’s incident at the mall. How about this: Didn’t you say you wanted to buy some villas in Mysonna? I’ll buy two for you, all under your name, and let’s just put this behind us. Besides, the baby in your belly is fine.”

Winona instinctively stepped back two steps. Her face was clearly filled with anger. She was trembling with anger, as if deeply wronged, and tears welled up in her eyes but wouldn’t fall. She wanted to say something but chose to remain silent.

Seeing this broke Robert’s heart, yet he felt helpless.

Even Claude couldn’t do anything about Yvette, let alone him, a person without any real power.

Besides, the slap Winona played had undone years of hard work of the Carter family.

If it weren’t for the child in her belly, Claude and Rebecca wouldn’t have let her go.

“W-what are you saying? How could that be? Yvette pulled a gun in front of everyone and wanted to kill me. How could she just walk away like nothing has happened? Is it because that guy Jeremiah stood up for her and the Carter family just let it

for me?” slide? I’m going to deliver a baby for your family, and you’re not going to do anything? Aren’t you going to stand up demanded Winona.

Robert explained patiently, “Winona, this is really complicated. Yvette is not a straightforward girl. As for Jeremiah, his background is even more mysterious. Let me be honest with you, the Carter family really can’t mess with these two people. Do you even know the background of the girl you hit?”

Winona was taken aback, she looked at Robert, not understanding what he meant. “The girl that I hit is Bonnie; what kind of background could she have? She’s just a poor student.”

Robert gave a bitter smile, looking at Winona, his tone carrying a hint of reproach. “Are you sure that girl, Bonnie, you hit doesn’t have any background? She has a big background and is going to be the future daughter-in-law of the Mitchell family in Betrico. Do you know the Mitchell family? They’re the most well-established family in the high society of Betrico, way beyond the Carter family. Plus, let me tell you, the head of the Mitchell family is the deputy commander of Betrico military district. You hit their future daughter-in-law, and because of that, they’ve ruined Claude’s plans to expand into Betrico. If it weren’t for the baby you are carrying. I’m afraid he would have killed you now. I know my father too well, Winona. If you want to deliver this baby, you’d better stay out of trouble.”

Winona was shocked and stood there frozen and stunned.

Her body couldn’t stop trembling as if her blood had turned cold; her face was completely drained of color.

Winona really did not know Bonnie was keeping her true self hidden.

Winona thought, ‘How could she who didn’t even have a boyfriend suddenly become the daughter-in-law of the Mitchell family in Betrico?

Robert hadn’t told Winona about Claude’s plan to get rid of her after she delivered the baby because he intended to keep her secretly hidden by sending her to Mysonna

Winona took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

She knew she had no one to rely on now except for Robert and Victor.

Winona thought, Lately, Victor had been acting strange. At first, he was thrilled when he found out I was pregnant, but now he was becoming more and more impatient with me. So my biggest support was still Robert and I couldn’t afford to lose

him

As for Yvette, Winona was really scared of her. Winona thought, If firing a gun in public was brushed off so lightly, what else did Yvette have to fear?

But Winona wouldn’t give up any opportunity.

Winona thought, ‘Every dog has its day. If I’m accepted by the Carter family, I will have the leverage to stand up to Yvette! Thinking of this, Winona suddenly felt excited. She glanced at Robert and thought, ‘What if Claude, Victor, Rebecca, and…the entire Carter family were wiped out?

The child in my belly is the only legal heir. After I give birth to this child, Yulia, a loser, has to let ne play around if only she

loses her husband, her son and, her daughter. Yeah… as long as the Carter family is finished…

This wild idea took root in Winona’s mind and wouldn’t fade.

She steadied herself and lowered her stance, appearing fragile and gentle.

“I get it and won’t say anything more. Don’t worry about it. Please plead with Claude for me. I’ll give birth to this child to carry on the Carter family name and will stay at home and not go out,” said Winona.

When Robert saw Winona’s “aggrieved’ expression, he quickly spoke to make up for his hasty words.

“I’m sorry for the trouble. Winona. I’ll open an account for you with 15 million dollars. Buy whatever you like. I know handbags are your favorite and get them all,” said Robert.

Winona lowered her head, silently crying.

Hearing this, she gave a small smile that quickly disappeared.

Winona thought, “Since I couldn’t use this to set up Yvette anymore, I might as well take advantage of the situation to get something out of it.

Winona was very good at handling a guy like Robert.

Winona thought, ‘He would follow my instructions as long as I do a little trickery on my part, right?’

Winona now had a new plan. First, she would take over the Carter family and then go after Yvette.
