Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Chapter 487 62% Damian looked up at Braydon's cold, expressionless face, and hearing his words, he showed no surprise-it was almost as if he had expected this outcall along. "Braydon, remember this: never let anyone becyour weakness. You should have killed me, not sentback to the island." Tyson was shocked and immediately knelt to plead for Damian, Mr. Braydon Goodman, Mr. Goodman only spoke out of anger. Once he returns to the island, I assure you he will no longer stand in your way." Braydon looked into Damian's cold eyes, which held a mix of emotions. After a moment of silence, neither spoke. Braydont turned and walked out the door.

Tyson turned back to Damian, who looked older than ever, slumped on the sofa, drained of all his former vigor. He spoke quietly, "Mr. Goodman, you should have let Braydon know that coming out of the island wasn't to compete with him but to remove the last obstacles in his path. You didn't have to let him despise you like this. Years ago, when Braydon's father was still alive, he had treated Braydon with nothing short of cruelty, forcing him to live in a cage, depriving him of food, and subjecting him to conditions meant to break his spirit Since being saved by Yvette, Braydon had never been the same; sometimes, his mind still bore the scars, and he would even harm himself in moments of distress. His father's legacy of abuse had left lasting wounds on Braydon's heart.

Damian let out a dry, bitter laugh. "You think Braydon doesn't understand my intentions? He knows everything, But that doesn't change a thing. He will never forgivefor keeping him away from Yvette. He despisesfor it. If he letlive. it's only because he understood my purpose; otherwise, he'd have killedalready, grandson or not." No one knew Braydon better than Damian himself. His grandson had room in his heart for only one person- Yvette-and she was the only one he would ever show mercy toward. For Braydon, everyone else was expendable Damian took a slow sip of coffee, then looked at Tyson. 'How is Nathan getting along with the Carter girl?* Tyson bowed slightly. "Mr. Goodman, the young lady from the Carter family, is refined and attentive to Nathan. They're getting along well. Since Yvette intervened last time, Nathan has focused on his responsibilities and hasn't gone after Sienna." Hearing this, Damian nodded in satisfaction.

Yvette, Jeremiah, and Emmett had taken a private jet to Mysonna. Charles had opted out of the trip, preferring to stay back for a while, while Samantha had returned to Betrico for an urgent matter.

The Eagle King was also heading to Betrico. Flying Fish had recently debuted, and with just one performance, her mesmerizing looks and captivating acting had made her an overnight sensation in the entertainment industry, Chasing her newfound fand love, the Eagle King had naturally followed Flying Fish to Betrico.

Once Yvette, Jeremiah, and Emmett disembarked, Bruce, Frankie, and Chris were already waiting at the airport. Despite two months of separation, their friendship was as seamless as ever.

Frankie, ever the joker, grinned. "Jeremiah, Yvette-long tno see!" Bruce, the steady one, couldn't hide his excitement either. Jeremiah, Yvette, welcback Chris was similar, being the least talkative of the three. "Jeremiah Yvette, Emmett." Yvette was dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans and wore her usual black cap, framing her refined features and slightly upturned eyes with a sharp elegance. She still had that sspirited energy the group knew well After exchanging greetings, they split into two cars-Yvette, Jeremiah, and Bruce in one, with the rest in another. Ten 21:03 Sat, Dec 2 Chapter 487 minutes into the drive, Bruce revealed why he'd opted to ride with Yvette and Jeremiah.

62% +5 Bruce said, "Yvette, I'm with Sienna now. She's a little shy and couldn't bring herself to tell you. She hopes to have your blessing, though. She's been busy with the International Fashion Competition in Mysonna, so she couldn't calong to see you. She wantedto apologize on her behalf Nestled comfortably in the back seat, Yvette paused momentarily with her phone in hand, glancing up. She smirked, turned to Jeremiah, who had his arm around her waist and raised an eyebrow. "Your guy ran off with my girl. So what do we do about that?" Yvette asked, a hint of playfulness in her tone.

Jeremiah's hand tightened around her waist, his deep, intense gaze fixed on her as he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Bruce took Sienna, and I'm here for you. Sounds fair, doesn't it?" Yvette put on a slight smile, impressed by his quick comeback. Without another word, she returned to her phone, casually remarking. "If Sienna is happy, you're safe. If she isn't, then Jeremiah's in trouble." The warning in her tone was direct, almost possessive. Bruce chuckled at Yvette's statement. Her message was clear-if he ever let Sienna down, the one to suffer wouldn't just be him but Jeremiah too. Only Yvette could throw both men off balance with a single line, effortlessly asserting her expectations.

Jeremiah, realizing he'd been roped into this as well, watched the relaxed figure of Yvette nestled beside him. A hint of amusement flickered in his eyes-this girl could be so unapologetically demanding yet so effortlessly charming Yvette sensed Jeremiah was smiling and looked up, playfully annoyed. "What are you laughing at?" Jeremiah squeezed her hand, his expression composed. "Not laughing. Really" Yvette didn't buy it, giving him a skeptical glance before returning to her game.

Up front, Bruce caught the scene in the rearview mirror, smirking at how much warmer Jeremiah seemed around Yvette.

In the other car, Emmett had just learned from Frankie that Bruce and Sienna were together. He thought they made a great pair and was surprised.

He'd always assumed Bruce would go for a more reserved type. But love worked in unexpected ways.

After arriving at the villa and settling in, Bruce returned to pick up Sienna. Yvette took a quick look around the place, noting that everything remained just as it had been.

After they unpacked and enjoyed a quiet dinner, Yvette curled up on the sofa, surrounded by Emmett, Chris, and Frankie. Suddenly, her phone chimed.

The others glanced over as Yvette picked up her phone to read a text from Joe Yoder inviting her and Jeremiah to Yoder Manor to discuss arrangements for returning a national treasure to Clusia. She shared the message with the group, and Jeremiah responded, "Alright. Tomorrow at noon, then."

Emmett, the only one aware of the context, was impressed with Joe's swift response. Meanwhile, Frankie apd chris exchanged glances, intrigued at the mention of the Yoder family but still in the dark about the details.

Frankie raised an eyebrow. "The Yoder family? Which one? As far as I know, there aren't\many families named Yoder in Mysonna worth mentioning. Yvette, is this Mr. Yoder a friend of yours and Jeremiah's?" Frankie certainly wasn't naive enough to think that Jeremiah and Yvette would know an obscure Yoder family. Any Yoder family recognized by these two big figures must have sfame.

Chris thought for a moment and asked somewhat uncertainly, "vette, by any chance, are you talking about Carl Yoder? 21:03 Sat, Dec 21 Chapter 488
