Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

The moment Victor heard that familiar voice, a chill ran down his spine. The only person he feared more than his grandfather was his older sister, Rebecca.

Since they were kids, Rebecca had always known how to put him in his place. While he was busy stuck in video games, she was out there collecting awards. His grades were abysmal, while hers were always at the top. By her freshman year of colleg she was already interning at the family business as their grandfather’s assistant.

But there was someone else who reacted sharply to Rebecca’s voice-Winona. No matter how hard Winona tried to impres her. Rebecca always looked down on her, often reminding her that she only got engaged with Victor because of her connection to Yvette’s late mother.

Winona endured a lot of mistreatment from Rebecca but felt powerless to fight back. She wanted to marry into the Carter family, and Rebecca was a key player in that game. So, Winona had to keep playing nice, even if it stung.

Rebecca strode in, flanked by four sharply-dressed bodyguards. Her high heels clicked loudly on the floor.

“Rebecca, what are you doing here?” The moment Victor saw her face, he knew she was furious. ‘What could possibly upset her? I’m just teaching someone a lesson, right?!

Rebecca marched straight up to Yvette. The guys surrounding Yvette quickly stepped aside, understanding that crossing

Rebecca wasn’t a smart move.

“Are you Yvette?” Rebecca asked, her tone sharp.

Yvette calmly nodded, her expression cool, unfazed by Rebecca’s fierce energy. In fact, she seemed to hold her own against

Rebecca

Rebecca felt it and her heart sank-Yvette was complicated as she expected. “Victor, get over here.”

Victor’s face darkened-with all eyes on him, Rebecca showed no concern for his feelings. But disobeying her was tough, so he walked over obediently. As he passed Winona, she instinctively reached out to him, grabbing his arm.

“Winona, you….” Victor hesitated. He didn’t want to go over there either.

“In front of everyone, Ms. Chambers, maybe it’s best if we stop this tug-of-war. It’s just not a good look, Rebecca said sharply

Winona’s eyes turned red again, defiance creeping into her voice Rebecca, I’m already engaged to Victor. I…”

Rebecca scoffed, her tone cutting. “Engaged? You haven’t even had your engagement party yet. Our families haven’t exchanged gifts or anything. It’s way too early for that. Plus, back then, my family agreed to the marriage with Yvette, not

you

Victor felt like Rebecca was crossing a line. Seeing Winona in tears, he quickly stepped in. “Rebecca, I’m not marrying Yvette. I only want to marry Winona.

Victor’s declaration didn’t lifi Winona’s spirits at all. The strange looks from the crowd made her so embarrassed she couldn’t even look up. With despair in her eyes, she glanced at Victor before bolting away.

Victorined to chase after her, but Rebecca’s bodyguards blocked his path. He struggled for a moment, but a sharp look from Rebecca made hip stop. He thought Winona was reasonable and would understand if he cooled things down later. Plus, he figured it was better to May put than to deal with his sister’s anger

Once Victor settled down, Rebecca turned to Yvette, her tour pointed. “Ms. Zeller, let’s be reasonable. I don’t know where you found that hacker, but this is Seacrity, and our families have always had a good relationship. It’s not worth making enemies over someone from the outside.

She glanced at John and continued, “About John’s injuries, the Carter family will take full responsibility. We’ll even cover his college expenses for four years. As for those who tried to attack you, feel free to deal with them”

Rebecca delivered her words smoothly but left out Victor’s involvement in what happened. Her tone sounded sincere, but there was a hidden threat beneath it.

Yvette remained calm, an air of arrogance on her face. “Apologize.”

Rebecca paused, her frustration bubbling just below the surface, Reluctantly, she motioned for security to bring Victor over. “Go apologize to Ms. Zeller”

Victor stared at Rebecca, his eyes wide in disbelief.

Rebecca shot Victor a look, her eyes blazing with disappointment. “Apologize, or I’ll freeze all your accounts and take away your sports car

What’s Rebecca thinking? The Chambers family doesn’t hold a candle to the Carter family. Why would I have to apologize to Yvette? Victor felt like he was losing it. But it was clear Rebecca wasn’t joking. If he didn’t apologize, she would really cut him off.

Reluctantly, Victor muttered, Tm sorry.”

“Not to me. To him,” said Yvette.

Victor followed Yvette’s finger and saw John, the guy he had just hit.

Rage boiled inside Victor. John looked just as stunned, and even Tobias seemed taken aback. The crowd around them was dead silentContent from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Rebecca’s expression shifted, and she thought Yvette was pushing it too far. Yvette asking for an apology was one thing-it wasn’t embarrassing, especially since both the Carter and Chambers families were part of the four major families. But now, demanding that Victor apologize to some nobody? That was outrageous and downright arrogant.

Victor straightened his shoulders, convinced Rebecca wouldn’t make him go through with that.

The atmosphere grew tense. Yvette and Rebecca stared each other down-one calm and collected, the other fierce and demanding. The crowd held its breath,

Rebecca stayed silent. Suddenly, one of her bodyguards handed her a phone. After a brief conversation, Rebecca’s face darkened, and her gaze turned steely as she stared at Yvette.

Yvette was unfazed, even smiling at her, as if she knew exactly what the phone said.

After hanging up, Rebecca took a deep breath. “Go apologize to this guy, Victor.”

Rebecca is actually making me apologize to John? Victor couldn’t believe his ears. “Have you lost your mind? I’m not doing it! No way!

Rebecca glanced at him and without hesitation, slapped him hard across the face.

The sting of the slap sent Victor spiraling, Rebecca’s cold, unforgiving look pierced through him. Within moments, he was living one of the most humiliating experiences of his life-being forced to apologize to someone he had hit and looked

down on

Rebecca felt a wave of sympathy for her brother, but there was nothing she could do right now.

After a moment, Victor finally lifted his head. Elis left cheek still throbbed from the slap, and his eyes were filled with anger. He turned to John and managed to mumble, T’m sorry, before pushing past the bodyguard and rushing outside.

John stood there, stunned. Did Victor really just apologize to me? Is this actually happening? He pinched his thigh hard. Wait, it doesn’t hurt. Am I dreaming? Is this some kind of fluke?

John, why are you pinching me?” Tobias asked, looking puzzled after feeling a couple of sharp jabs while John remained in a dare.

It’s real! John felt tears welling up in his eyes. Suddenly, a flicker of hope sparked within him. No one could grasp how important Victor’s apology was. Without it, today’s events would be a dark cloud haunting him, making his future meaningless.

“Ms. Zeller, are you happy now? Can you finally tell your friends to back off?” Rebecca asked coldly.

Yvette didn’t answer. Rebecca took a step forward but caught her bodyguard silently signaling, “It’s over.”

Who is she? How does she know that top hacker? Rebecca racked her brain but couldn’t come up with an answer. Yet, by the time she realized it was Yvette, it was too late.

Now, she just said, “Tell Mr. Zachary Chambers, we won’t forget this. We’ll be back.”

Yvette remained unfazed. Her flawless face showed no emotion, and she even yawned right in front of Rebecca.

So arrogant Rebecca didn’t want to stick around for even a moment longer. She stormed off, her bodyguard following behind.

The crowd had just witnessed something they might never see again-Yvette making Victor apologize to John. In just a few hours, the drama had unfolded dramatically, and the audience was on edge the entire time.

By the end of the day, Argrol University’s campus forum was buzzing once again. But this time, it wasn’t gossip about Yvette but all about school violence and bullying. Many didn’t expect this incident would lead to years of peace from bullying at Argrol University

The crowd dispersed from the basketball court, and only Yvette and John remained.
