Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Chapter 18

this girl Yvette? I expected a girl from the countryside to be plain and unremarkable, but... she's absolutely gorgeous!" Patrick admired silently. He had seen Winona, who was already considered pretty in high society. But when it came to Yvette's beauty and Winona didn't stand a chance. Seeing Patrick stare intently at Yvette, Lucas coughed to bring him back to reality.

presence.

Patrick quickly realized he had been rude, forcing a smile to cover his mistake. He straightened up and adopted a formal demeanor, waiting for Yvette to make the first move. Lucas introduced, "Ms. Zeller, this is Mr. Williams from Argrol University. He's here to deliver a letter from Mr. Sunderland."

Patrick was puzzled. Why is Lucas so respectful toward Yvette? Come on, he was lost for over twenty years. just because she's pretty doesnt mean much. High society has its own rules, and someone like her, who just popped up with no maternal family to back her, can't possibly change anything! Ugh, a servant just doesn't get it, unlike me, an educator and the respected dean of Argrol University. The contempt and arrogance in Patrick's eyes were hard to hide. "Yvette better learn to recognize her place around me. Otherwise, life would be tough for her Yvette was dressed casually in jeans and a white T-shirt, with a loose athletic jacket over it. She leaned against the lazily, showing no reaction when Lucas spoke Lucas genuinely admired her calmness.

"From Simon Sunderland? Hand it over, Yvette said. railing

I waited so long for a response, and that's all I get? No nice words at all? Simon Sunderland? How dare she call Mr. Sunderland like that? What gives her the guts to be so arrogant, considering she only got admitted to Argrol University through connections? Patrick thought, seething Seeing Yvette take the letter from Lucas and turn to leave, completely ignoring him, Patrick couldn't help but sneer. "Ms. Zeller, what an impressive attitude! I've been here for so long, and you don't even bother to look my way? That's a bit rude, don't you think?" Yvette paused and turned sharply to face him. There was a mix of beauty and coldness in her expression, laced with annoyance. "Anything else? Or wanna me to admire your face? What's wrong with you?" Patrick, i infuriated I by Lucas wanted to I to step in to ease the tension. After all, Yvette was just a student, and Patrick had a knack for holding grudges. Once she pushed him too far, he would definitely make things hard for her. As the dean of Argrol University, he had the power to create a lot of trouble for her at school. Just as Lucas prepared to intervene, Zachary spoke up in a cold tone. "Yvette's behavior is none of your business, Mr. Williams."

Yvette's words, felt his body tremble with anger, struggling to respond.

Zachary had come to figure out why Simon had sent Patrick over. But the moment he stepped inside, he heard Patrick badmouthing Yvette. Scolding my daughter in my house? Patrick thought way too highly of himself! he thought in anger.

Zachary's stern words and cold expression made Patrick realize he had gone too far. Sure, he wanted to teach Yvette a levson, but there were better ways to do that at school. No need to cause a scene at the Chambers residence. Still, he couldn't admit he was wrong now. It would make him look bad if word got out. After a tense incent Patrick finally spoke up.

letter 11 be ready to welcome you to Argol University next week, Ms. Zeller. Hope your time there is thrilling. He stressed the last word purposely

Thrilling Yvette savored the word and wondered just how "thrilling" it would actually be, the corners of her mouth turning up in a cold sneer.

Zachary caught the threatening tone in Patrick's voice and turned to Lucas, his voice sharper. "Lucas, show him out."

Patrick, stormed out of the Chambers residence, fuming. He had walked in with confidence but left feeling humiliated. Fixated on the door, he vowed to make Yvette pay for this

Inside the living room, Zachary insisted that Yvette stay for coffee. Surprisingly, she complied and quietly took a seat.

Zachary watched as she gulped down her coffee like it was water. He wanted to comment on enjoying it properly, but every time he opened his mouth. Wette shot him a look that said to back off. Fine, drink however you like,' he thought.

Yvette tossed the letter from Simon onto the table, and Zachary stole glaces at it, pretending to enjoy his coffee.

Yvette focused on her black phone, saying without looking up, "Go ahead, look if you want."

fachary blinked, confused. "Huh? You're giving me permission?"

Yvette shot him a cold, impatient glare. Zachary could read the unspoken message in that look-"Are you an idiot? Can't you

hear

He said cautiously, Tll open it then. Don't regret it later."

Yvette couldn't help but chuckle. 'Playing coy at this age, huh?"

Zachary carefully opened the envelope, revealing the words "Admission Recommendation Letter." He was too stunned to hold the paper. It fluttered down to the floor, and he quickly picked it up and began to read closely. The wording of the letter was carefully chosen, clearly showing how much Simon valued Yvette. The Admission Recommendation ndation Letter was meant for exceptional talents, unlike the admission notice he had secured through simple donations. This letter could only be signed personally by Simon. Zachary knew how strict the process was, and over the years, Simon had granted very few of these letters. Zachary took a moment to compose himself. "Do you know what it says?"

Yvette slowly lifted her head, a hint of wildness shining in her charming eyes. Without even glancing at the letter, she nodded casually and turned her attention back to her phone,

"Wait, that's it?" Zachary was impressed by her calmness. "You've already got this in hand, so why bother with the admission notice? You could've mentioned that earlier Yvette paused for a while before saying. "I told you I didn't need. You just didn't believe me."

Zachary was at a loss for words. He recalled yesterday in his study when Yvette had tried to say something, but he interrupted her. It turned out to be a big misunderstanding, all on his part. Before Zachary could ask Yvette anything else, Nellie and Winona walked in together.
