Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236
Simon pointed to the spicy snacks on the table. “I asked Tobias about these. He said you young folks all love them.”
Yvette turned her face slightly, paused for a few seconds, and then spoke slowly. Tve never tried them before.”
Simon was taken aback, feeling a bit disappointed. It seemed like he had bought the wrong thing as Yvette wasn’t fond of it.
Yvette gave him a brief glance, her expression as calm and indifferent as always, paused for a few seconds, and said, “I guess 1 might like it.”
Simon’s old face lit up with joy, though he looked a bit awkward
Yvette lowered her gaze and gently rubbed the rim of the cup with her fingers. She wondered, ‘Should I not say that?”
Simon had a serious reason for finding Yvette. Recalling the instructions from Betrico, he quickly straightened his posture.
His tone became more serious and his face turned serious
Looking at Yvette, he said, “James from the physics lab in Betrico invited you to attend the new energy conference there to witness this important moment personally. After all, without your involvement, this breakthrough wouldn’t have happened so quickly. James sincerely hopes you’ll consider this offer carefully.”
Yvette pressed her lips together and looked up at Simon, her eyes calm. “No,” she replied.
Simon paused slightly and thought, “Is she really turning down such a great opportunity? If it were anyone else, they would probably be ecstatic. This is an once-in-a-lifetime chance!
But then, thinking about Yvette’s other identity, Cyanbird, he could somewhat understand.
Simon thought, ‘If she were the kind to crave attention, just this one identity would have attracted many people to curry favor with her
He picked up his coffee mug and took a sip. After contemplating for a few seconds, he spoke again and his tone was even more earnest than before. “You know James has been working on this new energy project for many years. Your sudden involvement gave him a fresh direction, allowing it to be completed successfully in just a few months. You’ve made a major contribution. Are you going to give up this credit?”
Yvette tore open a bag of chips without lifting her head, her tone indifferent, showing no concern. “Yeah,” she hummed.
Simon had already figured it out for he knew Yvette’s personality. “Is it troublesome for you?”
Yvette raised her eyes to look at him, as calm as always. “Yes, I think it is troublesome.”
Simon’s hand holding the cup of coffee paused. “I have guessed that is it. That’s why James raised another idea. You can go without showing your face. Your name should be included in the research results and you can use “S” as a-code name. Does that work?”
Yvette leaned back lazily and asked sofily, “Have you already agreed on this?”
Simon nodded without hesitation. “Yes, James suggested this method. He sincerely hopes you will think about this suggestion carefully.”
Yvette’s delicate eyebrows rose slightly, a hint of annoyance on her face.
Afraid she might get upset, Simon quickly added. “James has no intention of pressuring you. If you don’t want to go to Betrico, then it’s fine and it’s your choice.”

Chapter 236
Yvette half-closed her eyes, a deep darkness in them, and the tension around her eased a bit. “Time and place.”
Simon jumped up excitedly to take out the invitation in the drawer and placed it in front of Yvette on her desk.

“This is the invitation for the launch event. The time and place are included. Do you need someone to meet you when you arrive in Betrico?” asked Simon.
Yvette looked up, turning her head slightly towards Simon, her voice cool. “No, thanks”
Simon nodded. “Alright.”
Simon thought. Yvette was Mr. Chavez’s girlfriend. Once she got to Betrico, Mr. Chavez’s territory, there was no need for me to arrange any pickup service!
Before leaving, Yvette paused at the doorway and gave Simon a half-smile. Her eyebrows were slightly raised and her voice was soft and slow. “Change the username as it doesn’t sound nice
Simon was taken aback and his face flushed. Being denied by her was really embarrassing.
Simon thought, ‘Change it to what?”
He decided to leave this kind of thing for Tobias to think over. It was too challenging for someone with a science background like him.
Simon coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment and thought, “Passing the buck to Tobias is just right; after all, nephews are meant for things like this, aren’t they?
“That username was Tobias’s idea. I told him long ago not to use it, but he insisted. I’ll make him change it soon. Don’t worry,” said Simon.
Yvette kept a neutral expression, gave a polite nod, and then left the Principal’s office.
As she was leaving, she happened to run into Patrick, who was there to deliver something to Simon.
Patrick intended to give Yvette the cold shoulder, trying to act superior, but she walked right past him without even glancing
up.
Patrick was so angry that he stomped his feet in frustration. But, he was unable to do anything about it.
Passing students noticed it, took photos, and uploaded them to the forum, which caused teasing among the Apex Urban University students.
Everyone was speculating that Patrick might be mentally unstable.
When Patrick saw the forum, he was enraged. He hated Yvette even more but couldn’t find any chance to get back at her, so he just fumed internally.
In the physics classroom, Bonnie was discussing a physics problem with John.
Just then, a classmate came in and told Bonnie that someone wanted to talk with her
Not thinking much of it, Bonnie stepped out and saw Victor hanging around the door, looking around. “Here, here,” said
Victor.
Seeing Victor approach, Bonnie quickly stepped back, staying alert, and put on a guarded expression.
Bonnie thought. Is Victor the person who wants to talk with me? As a fox saying Happy New Year to a hen, it is up to no good.”

“What’s up? Were you the one wanting to talk with me?” asked Bonnie.
In the hallway, people were passing by, occasionally glancing at them.
Passers-by thought, ‘How could they who have nothing in common be chatting together?
Victor was a famous figure at the school, so naturally, he attracted quite a bit of attention.
Victor stared intently at Bonnie for what seemed like ages, making her so uneasy that it sent a chill down her spine.
After a while, Victor bowed deeply right in front of all the students in the hallway, directing it straight at Bonnie.
This gesture left everyone stunned, their jaws dropping in shock
Even Bonnie was so frightened by Victor’s odd behavior that she stepped back twice.
Victor lifted his head and spoke seriously to Bonnie, Tm sorry. Everything that happened yesterday was Winona’s fault. Please forgive the Carter family. I’ll do anything you order if you could just forgive us
Bonnie looked at Victor, horrified, and blurted out, “Are you out of your mind? Winona was acting like a lunatic yesterday, causing trouble for me, and now you’re here apologizing to me? What are you two up to?”
Victor’s gaze deepened, his fists clenched tight. He struggled with himself for a long time before he finally said. T’m really sorry, Bonnie. Please forgive the Carter family. Otherwise, should I get on my knees for you?”
Once again, everyone in the hallway was completely stunned and thought, ‘Is this the same Victor, the once invincible bully. who ruled the school? Is he really about to kneel to Bonnie? Are we dreaming?”
The people in the hallway glanced at each other, sharing the same doubt in their eyes.
The long corridor was as silent as a grave.
Victor saw Bonnie standing there without speaking and thought she truly wanted him to go through with it.
