Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3
“It’s none of my business. The Chambers family let her run her mouth, and that would only make themselves look bad.” Yvette said, brushing off the two blushed faces and getting into the car.
Lucas was at a loss for words. Yvette’s response was razor-sharp-she shot the blame right back at him effortlessly. All he could do was signal the bodyguards to take Tina away.
Zachary had sent a fleet of luxury cars to pick up Yvette, which would definitely turn heads on the street. It was clear he wanted to make it known how much he valued his lost daughter, But whether his feelings were genuine? That was a different
story
Once inside the car, Yvette closed her eyes to rest. Just as Lucas glanced her way again, she suddenly opened her eyes, a light flashing in them. “Just spill it,” she said.
Recalling the instructions from Zachary before they left, Lucas began carefully. There are four major families in Seacrity right now, with the Lewis family on top. They manage three leading laboratories, each run by a senior official. There are also two major factions and countless wealthy families, all with complicated ties.
“The Chambers family is currently ranked fourth among these families. Years ago, when Mr. Matthew Chambers was alive, we were at the top, but now…
“Over the years, Mr. Zachary Chambers has struggled with his health while searching for you. He is thrilled to get your news, and it has even improved his condition. He’s eagerly waiting for you to come home. Your mother would surely knowing this
rest in peace
As Lucas delivered the last line, a chill ran through him. When he looked up, the sensation disappeared. ‘Holy cat, am I seeing things he wondered.
Yvette remained silent, gazing out the window, lost in her thoughts.
Lucas continued. “Mr. Zachary Chambers hopes that once you return, you can steer clear of conflicts with the other family members. After all, your identity as his daughter is fixed. He will also do his best to find a suitable match for you.”
Yvette didn’t even bother to look up, making Lucas feel like he was putting on a solo performance.
Lucas had done his homework on Yvette’s background. Compared to Zeke and Winona, she had seemed rather ordinary growing up. But aside from her looks resembling the photos, her personality and presence were completely different from the information.
With years of experience as a butler in a wealthy family, Lucas prided himself on his ability to read people. Yet, he truly couldn’t grasp where Yvette derived her confidence.
Actually, Yvette’s return to the Chambers family was something she wanted. If not for her own plans, Zachary wouldn’t have been able to find her. As for any conflicts? That was a part of her plan
Zachary’s current wife, Nellie, was no pushover. As the cherished daughter of the Smith family-the second among the four families-she was known for her poise and charm. After marrying Zachary, she ran their home like a pro and became famous in Seacrity as an ideal wife.
If it weren’t for the information she had, Yvette could have believed Nellie’s good reputation. But the fact was, over the years, any women who tried to get close to Zachary had met unfortunate fates.
Lucas often played the “carrot and stick game. First, he threatened Yvette to behave, and then he dangled the promise of a bright future in front of her. He thought there had to be something to sway her.
Yvette turned away from the window and casually pulled out a piece of candy from her pocket. The moment she opened it, its rich and cr**y aroma filled the car.

Lucas couldn’t help but swallow hard-the candy smelled too tempting.
Is this from Zachary?” Yvette asked.

Lucas nodded, feeling a headache that Yvette addressed Zachary like that. “He just wants what’s best for you,” he explained.
How long had it been since anyone had warned Yvette? She could hardly remember. Maybe five years? And where had those people gone! One might find their bodies in a random mountain.
“If they don’t mess with me, I won’t do anything. But if they… Yvette didn’t finish her words, turning back to gaze out of the window.
Lucas rubbed his temples, beginning to wonder if Zachary bringing Yvette back was a good idea at all. He had a strong feeling that the calm life in the Chambers family was about to end with her arrival.
If they cross me… well, I’ll make the whole family pay, Yvette sneered silently.
