Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154
In the hotel lobby, Dennis sat on the couch, with Winona dutifully by his side.
They watched as Liam stepped out of the elevator, but neither of them moved..
Dennis held his head high with an arrogant look, clearly not taking Liam seriously.
After working with Howard for many years, Liam had encountered all sorts of people. He observed that Dennis had not even given him a proper glance earlier.
Liam just sneered in his heart.
Slowing his steps. Liam approached Dennis and Winona and finally stopped in front of them.
Only then did Dennis lift his head slightly, just glancing at Liam without any intention to converse.
In Dennis’ view, he didn’t deem a mere secretary worthy enough to warrant him initiating the conversation.
Winona stood up and spoke softly, “Mr. Davidson, Grandpa and are prepared. May we proceed to meet Mr. Yates now?”
Liam smiled politely at Dennis and Winona and said, “I apologize, but Mr. Yates is currently not available. It seems unlikely that you’ll be able to meet with him today.”
Winona was taken aback, her complexion turning slightly pale, and she appeared somewhat disoriented
She didn’t know what to do, so she looked towards Dennis, who was seated on the couch.
Even Dennis was momentarily shocked by Liam’s words, and his expression was full of disbelief.
Dennis’ hand that was gripping the staff trembled with anger.
He had thought that with the Smith family’s status in Seacrity, Howard would definitely meet him.
Since Howard refused to meet Dennis, Howard decided to support the Chambers family.
Dennis’ expression became serious, and his aged eyes shone with a menacing gleam as he fixed his gaze on Liam.
Liam maintained his polite smile as if he hadn’t noticed Dennis nasty expression at all.
Liam’s insides churned with disdain as he thought, ‘Intimidating me? You should think twice about who I’ve been working for and who I’ve crossed paths with. Over the years, working alongside Mr. Yates in the business world, I’ve faced people far more ruthless and menacing than Dennis. Why would I be intimidated by him? The truly terrifying ones are like Ms. Zeller -those who can exert pressure and instill fear with just a stern look, wielding authority without the need for anger.

Some were pointing and whispering about Dennis and Winona.
Winona could clearly hear some of the words, yet she didn’t dare refute them.
She could only lower her head, tightly clenching her hands.
Dennis glanced at Winona, feeling very annoyed, and war on his cane as he walked out
Winona followed behind Dennis timidly, not daring to say a worl

Furthermore, it was discovered that the Smith family had used substandard materials, resulting in elevated formaldehyde levels that caused leukemia in children from more than ten families.
The Smith family went to extreme lengths to conceal their actions, resorting to violence to intimidate the parents of sick children. This left the parents’ complaints unresolved and tragically led to the suicides of two parents, who chose to end their lives by jumping from buildings.
The revelations had transformed the Smith family’s deeds from mere economic issue into a criminal matter. If these allegations were substantiated, the Smith family might be subjected to severe legal consequences.
The Smith family’s scandal caused a massive uproar. Wyatt was woken up by a phone call from his secretary in the middle of the night.
As soon as Wyatt checked his phone, he was instantly wide awake
Upon reviewing the second list that exposed more government officials bribed by the Smith family, Wyatt was left in shock, With the possibility of being transferred back to Betrico this year, he realized that if this issue wasn’t managed with utmost care, it could spell the end of his career.
Wyatt quickly held a late-night meeting with the officials who weren’t implicated in the list.
He immediately detained all the officials involved in the list and cut off their communication with the outside world.
In the middle of the night, Wyatt held four consecutive meetings.
The situation could spiral out of control at daybreak. If Wyatt didn’t swiftly provide a satisfactory resolution to the public, it might become difficult to soothe the populace’s rage.
As anticipated, Seacrity’s official Twitter account was inundated with comments early in the morning. Within just ten minutes, hundreds of thousands of retweets and comments were made, with the figures continuing to rise rapidly.
The netizens commented: [Is this accurate? The Smith family is truly evil. It’s shocking enough that they allegedly evaded

conference yesterday? The head of the Chambers family revealed that Nellie’s two children are not his biological offspring.
I’ve heard some gossip that this Winona is a complete liar. She used fake works to deceive people. The Smith family is so awful!]
[The authority should intervene and conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.]
Public outrage erupted online. In response, newspapers swiftly revised their content overnight, replacing the original articles with urgent reports on the Smith family’s tax evasion, bribery of officials, and connections to criminal elements.
Nellie had a great night’s sleep. The next morning, she got up and went downstairs.
Seeing that the living room was empty, she felt a bit confused.
Usually, the servants would have breakfast ready by now. Nellie wondered, “Where did everyone go?
Nellie thought the servants were all slacking off and stormed around looking for them, finally spotting them in the garden behind the villa.
Nellie saw the servants holding their phones, talking about something.
She stormed over, her anger palpable, and scolded the servants with a raised voice, “What exactly are you doing? Are you being paid by the Smith family to loiter and gossip? This is utterly disrespectful! Do you believe I’m incapable of dismissing all of you? Now, get to work and prepare my breakfast immediately”
The servants looked at one another and finally couldn’t hold back their anger anymore. They were fed up with the Smith family too.
Therefore, the servants dropped their brooms and exclaimed, “Mrs. Chambers, there’s no need to fire us. In fact, we no longer wish to work for the Smiths. Instead of having breakfast, I recommend you check your phone!”
The other servants loudly agreed
They were just ordinary folks, and after knowing what the Smith family had done, they were all furious and didn’t want to work for such people anymore.
One of the servants cursed, “Nellie, the Smith family is truly ruthless! Sooner or later, the Smiths are going to hell!”
Someone echoed, “Yes, God is watching over you, and He will not abandon you!”
Nellie stared at the servants in disbelief. She couldn’t believe they dared to speak to her so rudely.
She hadn’t figured out what the servants were talking about.
Nellie was just about to curse the servants when they all turned their backs and left the Smith residence.resolutely.
Seeing how determined the servants were and recalling what they mentioned, Nellie began to worry.
A bad feeling washed over her.
Nellie quickly ran into the villa to grab her phone and see what had happened.
As Nellie reached the door, she encountered Zeke, who seemed flustered, like he had just rushed back in.
Zeke exclaimed, “Mom, terrible news
