Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Jeremiah appeared at the dessert shop wearing his military uniform. He exuded a chilling and authoritative presence, signaling others to keep their distance.

Every vehicle in the Skyland fleet was equipped with GPS, including the little black scooter Yvette had been riding lately. So as soon as his meeting ended, he came straight here. He was a bit surprised to see Aurora here.

Jeremiah, towering at six feet seven inches, created a strong sense of pressure over everyone in the room. His dark eyes were deep and mysterious. He glanced around the room. His gaze lingered slightly on someone, and a subtle hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. He thought, ‘Yvette must’ve kept her identity hidden, or else who knows how mom might have reacted?’

Yvette chose not to mention it, and Jeremiah didn’t expose her secret either. Then he turned his gaze back to Aurora.

As Jeremiah’s gaze swept over the group of women, including Darnell, their breathing became more controlled. They’d heard that Jeremiah had a reputation where even a frown could mean trouble. Eleanore especially wished she could grow wings and fly away.

The famous and elusive, youngest iron-willed Jeremiah of Clusia, renowned throughout Betrico, came in person. They wouldn’t be able to hold their cool.

Aurora exclaimed happily to Jeremiah, Jeremiah, why are you here? I haven’t seen you in a while, and you’ve become even more handsome! Truly my boy. You’ve inherited my good looks

Jeremiah paused slightly. He seemed a bit helpless. He said to Aurora, “Mom, being naturally good-looking doesn’t quite apply to me.”

Aurora looked unfazed. “I know. I just wanted to point out my own beauty. Don’t overthink it.”

Jeremiah was speechless.

Aurora was moved to tears. She was absolutely thrilled that Jeremiah came for her.

Aurora tiptoed and patted Jeremiah on the shoulder. She had a little smug grin on her face. “Jeremiah, what brings you here? Did your dad send you? He’s always worried too much. Doesn’t he know my fighting spirit? It’s such a hassle for you to come!”

Her words said one thing, but her expression said another. Acting all coy, her eyes had a little spark of arrogance in them. The rich ladies didn’t dare say a word since Jeremiah came in. They were secretly hoping for “the Living Reaper” to leave

soon.

Jeremiah looked at the group of scared, hurt women. Calmly, he asked, “Mom, what happened?”

Aurora was surprised. From his words, it seemed Jeremiah had no idea what had happened. She wondered, ‘So why is he here? Is it a coincidence? Does he come here for coffee and desserts? Wait, he doesn’t like that at all. He must be here with his girlfriend! Aurora’s eyes lit up, thinking she could soon meet her daughter-in-law.

In just a minute, Aurora’s thoughts had drifted far and wide.

Jerenitah saw Aurora lost in thought and knew she was probably daydreaming again. So he looked at Darnell in his uniform and asked, “What happened?”

Darnell gathered his courage and stepped forward. He thought, I really shouldn’t have left home today. It is definitely not the right day. How can I end up dealing with this situation?

He answered. “Mr. Jeremiah Chavez, this is Deputy Chief Darnell from Betrico Police Station. Today, Mrs Chavez came here for coffee and had a run-in with some ladies. A small fight broke out.”

Darnell noticed a slight frown on Jeremiah’s face and quickly added, “But don’t worry, Jeremiah. Mrs. Chavez wasn’t hurt. In fact, she handled those ladies herself. Before you arrived, she agreed to settle things privately with just one extra condition. She wanted these ladies to apologize to this young lady, and that would be it. However, they were a bit hesitant.”

After saying this, Darnell took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. What Darnell saw in Jeremiah was command without anger? Just standing there, Jeremiah had an undeniably chilling presence.

Jeremiah glanced at Yvette standing there, hands in pockets, gazing down. His tone was calm, like he was just asking normally. “What does it have to do with her?”

At that moment, Aurora realized something. She knew Jeremiah well. She found Jeremiah seemed to be angry. She was confused since she didn’t lost anything. Aurora turned around, walked over to Yvette, took her hand, and went back to Jeremiah.

Yvette’s eyes were half-closed as she looked at the delicate, smooth hand on top of her left hand. It was evident that a lot of care had been taken in maintaining it. The hand felt warm and dry.

Yvette didn’t react much, just obediently allowed Aurora to hold her hand.

This action made Jeremiah, who was standing not far away, stop for a moment. He knew very well how cautious Yvette could be. Now, seeing her treat Aurora like this really surprised him.

But no matter how he looked, there was something strange about Aurora’s hand. He hadn’t even held Yvette’s hand that many times himself, while Aurora took advantage of Yvette.

Once Aurora reached Jeremiah, she immediately began introducing Yvette. “Jeremiah, this is my new friend Yvette. She just helped me out. It was Yvette who stopped the door from being opened and didn’t let those women escape, saving me a lot of trouble. Otherwise, I’d have to go door to door, which would be exhausting.”

Eleanore and her group were so furious their eyes turned red. According to Aurora, if anyone ran away today, she’d have to go to their houses to confront them. That was really too much.

After Aurora finished, without waiting for Jeremiah’s reaction, she turned to Yvette and continued, “Yvette, this is my son. He’s in the military, just making a living. He’s a bit aloof, so don’t mind him.”

Jeremiah looked down. Yvette glanced up.

They exchanged a look, one with a hidden smile, the other without any expression. With a mutual understanding, neither of them said a word.

Aurora didn’t find anything unusual. Even if he saw a fairy, he’d probably have the same expression. She couldn’t imagine how his girlfriend managed to deal with his personality.

Jeremiah was sure that with Yvette there, Aurora wouldn’t get hurt. He glanced at the woman across from him, then looked again at Darnell. He calmly spoke two words, “The reason.”

Darnell’s heart, which had just relaxed, tensed up again. From the way it sounded, he realized that Jeremiah intended to get

to the bottom of this.

The women who had been hit all kept their heads down and stayed silent.

Darnell was absolutely furious. These idle rich ladies usually gossiped nonstop, while now they dare not to speak up in front of Jeremiah.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and respectfully answer again, “Mr. Jeremiah Chavez, these ladies said something that reached Mrs. Chavez’s ears, and she gave them an earful. I haven’t had a chance to ask exactly what they said. You’ll have to ask Mrs. Chavez and these ladies directly.”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Jeremiah knew one of the women opposite him, Gloria. He had seen her a few times at the Chavez family’s house.

Jeremiah’s eyes were ice-cold. He knew Aurora wasn’t someone unreasonable. It must be that they said something that crossed the line, or Aurora wouldn’t have been so harsh.

Jeremiah’s dark eyes landed on Gloria, and she trembled with fear. Her fingers were almost digging into her palm.

Jeremiah spoke softly, without a trace of warmth in his voice, “Speak.”

Playing dead wasn’t an option for Gloria. She shakily raised her head. She blurted out everything at once, word for word.

Eleanore glared at her with resentment. She thought, ‘You usually don’t have a working brain, yet you remember everything perfectly now. Idiot!’

The other ladies wished they could stop Gloria from talking. They were all mad at her.

Gloria dared not to look at anyone after finished talking. She had acted on impulse, and now she was truly terrified by Jeremiah’s icy stare.

Even Aurora was a bit surprised. She recalled that Gloria’s mind usually wasn’t this sharp. She thought, ‘Indeed, people’s potential emerges under pressure.’ She was quite proud of Jeremiah.
