Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54
The first to react was Justin, who stood at the casino entrance. He rushed over to Ethan’s side as quickly as he could.
The man was nearly losing his mind over the turn of events.
The girl he initially looked down on casually produced 100 million dollars, while Ethan, who he thought would definitely win, not only lost miserably but was also so enraged that he spat blood.
Also, Ethan was Daniel’s son. Mishap must not befall him at Sky Nimbus, or Justin’s career would be over.
Justin asked concernedly. “Mr. Brooks! Mr. Brooks, are you okay! Hang in there. We’ll get you to the hospital right away.”
Ethan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His anger had affected his health, but he was barely holding on. “You won What’s your name?”
The man had it all figured out-knowing Yvette’s name meant that as long as she was still in Seacrity, she’d have no way to
escape him
He couldn’t do much with everyone watching now, but after tonight, he’d involve his dad. After all, how hard could it be to
deal with one woman!
A few drops of blood from Ethan splattered onto Yvette’s hand. She looked down at the specks of blood on her fingers, her demeanor turning frosty.
It was evident that Yvette was in a terrible mood.
Everyone stared at her.
Only Eagle King knew that Yvette was highly irritated to the point of feeling murderous, so he handed his orange juice to Bonnie and walked over to Yvette.
She lifted her eyes, looking at Eagle King with an indifferent expression. “They are dirty.”
Eagle King expertly took a wet wipe from his pocket and carefully cleaned the blood-stained area.
Everyone was confused, not understanding what he was doing. They wondered if his action was necessary, as it was just a few drops of blood.
Bonnie had a different opinion from everyone else. She had a strong feeling that if Eagle King didn’t clean up the blood for Yvette, the consequences would be SEVOTE
A tall, muscular man was carefully wiping the fingers of a young woman, and the scene seemed bizarre no matter how one looked at it
Eagle King sighed. His gentle voice was completely different from his intimidating image “Boss, they’re clean now.” Yvette stared blankly at her now clean fingers. The ferocity in her eyes slowly faded. The woman spoke softly. “Okay”
Eagle King breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had finally calmed down.
Seeing this, Ryan stepped forward to block off Ethan’s harsh glare. “Enough, Ethan. You’ve already lost. What is there to say for someone defeated?”
Ryan’s words struck the other man like a blow.
Ethan, who had been trying to keep himself strong, finally couldn’t hold on and passed out.

Chapter 51
The scene became chaotic once again.
After the fainted man was taken away, Sky Nimbus handed the 100 million dollar check to Yvette according to the rules, but she didn’t even glance at it. The woman merely tossed it to Eagle King and walked away without looking back, only instructing him to send Bonnie back to the dormitory.
Bonnie, feeling worried, wanted to trail behind Yvette, but Eagle King stopped her.
“Don’t. Boss needs some alone time now. She’s better off on her own, he explained.
Bonnie knew Eagle King had his reasons for saying so. After all, he had known Yvette longer. So, she just nodded obediently.
With both people involved gone, the crowd lost interest. Before long, everyone on the top floor had dispersed.
The events at today’s gambling match had exceeded their expectations,
A rising young girl competed against the son of Seacrity’s deputy mayor and won with a st**ring 100 million dollars at
stake
Also, Ethan was so frustrated that he vomited blood while the internationally renowned Gambling King’s skill made its debut in Seacrity
Any of these topics were more than enough to become the talk of high society.
After Yvette and the others left, Ryan sent the remaining physics department students on their way, repeatedly emphasizing not to talk about today’s event at school before he headed home.
Daniel, in a villa in Seacrity, received a call in the middle of the night from Justin of Sky Nimbus, telling him that Ethan was now at Seacrity Hospital.
He was scared awake, instantly losing any feeling of sleepiness. The man quickly got up and instructed the driver to take him there.
Upon arriving at the hospital. Justin fanned the flames by recounting the entire situation in detail.
That was when Daniel learned that Ethan was so angered by an unknown young girl that he fainted, and he had also lost 100 million dollars in the bet
Daniel’s face instantly darkened
As he had served as deputy mayor for years, very few dared to challenge his authority. To him, his son’s gambling, clubbing, and partying at Sky Nimbus were minor matters.
Every man had their interests. Fortunately, Ethan’s gambling skills were decent. Over the years, he hadn’t lost much money. In fact, he had made quite a bit. So, Daniel allowed his son to pursue it.
Who would’ve thought Ethan would get so worked up by a girl today and lose so much money, too? This made the Brooks family a huge joke, leaving Daniel with nowhere to save face.
Daniel’s voice was as sharp as a knife, sending chills down Justin’s spine. Any info on that woman’s background?”
Justin replied cautiously, “Mr. Brooks, we’re not too sure. She tagged along with Mr. Lewis and seems to be his classmate.
Daniel furrowed his brows so tightly that it seemed as if he could crush a fly between them. “Mr. Lewis? Is it Ryan Lewis from the Lewis family?”
Justin nodded with trepidation. He was bound to offend someone in this situation, so he decided it was better to stick with Daniel. “Yeah

Chapter 51
Daniel looked at his son, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed. His anger intensified.
He had warned Ethan about his conflict with Ryan, advising him to know his limits and not go too far. If Ethan wanted to secure Seacrity’s mayor once Wyatt left, he would need the support of the four major families, especially the Lewis family. It was best to avoid any open conflict if possible. After all, why was Ethan still so worked up over a dead woman and causing trouble with Ryan after all this time?
Daniel felt a mix of frustration and disappointment. In the past, he could overlook minor disputes, but now that his son was hospitalized, how could he remain indifferent as a father? Since there hadn’t been a direct conflict with Ryan, he decided they could put the matter to rest if Ryan could hand over the girl who had gambled with Ethan..
The man turned to his secretary and instructed him to call Lionel and tell him to have Ryan hand over Yvette.
Meanwhile, Lionel was sitting on the couch, waiting for Ryan’s return.
Lionel was initially supposed to take a private jet to the Lewis family’s branch company in Mysonna tomorrow, so he went to bed early: Who could have imagined that while he was sound asleep, hk butler came rushing in with a phone, looking worried, and told him it was a call from Daniel’s secretary.
Lionel was taken aback by the abrupt midnight call and wondered what it could be about. Then, he learned about the incident that had happened earlier at Sky Nimbus,
His son had taken a girl to the event, and she argued with Ethan. In the end, Ethan was so upset that he started coughing up blood and ended up in the hospital Daniel demanded that the girl be handed over by tomorrow, or there would be
consequences.
How could Lionel possibly sleep after hearing this? He tried to call Ryan countless times, but Ryan’s phone was dead, and he couldn’t reach him.
Therefore, the older man could only sit on the couch and wait for his son to return.
He was boiling with anger upon seeing Ryan. “Do you know how foolish you were today?”
Ryan hadn’t expected the news to spread so quickly.
The look on Lionel’s face clearly indicated that he was ready for a confrontation.
Ryan rubbed his temples. Today’s events had worn him out more than a full day in the lab.
He spoke in a calm, detached tone as if he were talking to a stranger, not his dad. “I don’t know.”
Lionel threw the cup of coffee in his hand, and it landed right by Ryan’s feet.
“What? The people you brought p**ed Ethan off so much that he’s been hospitalized, so what do you mean you don’t know? Don’t think you can brush me off just because your grandpa has your back. Listen up. He won’t take your side when he hears about what happened today! You should bring that girl to Ethan’s ward tomorrow and hand her to him before it’s too late. He made it clear that he won’t hold us responsible if we do that, Lionel demande
