Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez novel Chapter 708

Chapter 708 

Yveite calmly looked at Clifford, who seemed a little “aggrieved,” raised her delicate eyebrows, and slowly said, “I’m hungry 

James immediately chimed in, “Let’s go. Yvette’s hungry. You two can sort out your broken relationship on your own.” 

Emmett’s lips twitched as he thought, “Tsk tsk… Mr. Owens sure didn’t forget to add another jab describing it as a ‘broken relationship.” 

James then said to Yvette, “Come on, Yvette, get in the car with me” 

ette nodded coolly before getting in the car with James. Emmett also took the initiative to walk to the side, open the car oor, and get into the driver’s seat, leaving Jeremiah and Clifford standing there. 

Standing side by side, they looked like two people of the same age from behind. Even at over 50, Clifford hadn’t let the years change his physique. Instead, he became more refined and elegant, exuding a naturally extraordinary grace. 

Clifford gave Jeremiah the side eye, thinking, ‘Who’s this brat putting on a straight face for? I bet he’s already laughing his head off inside.” 

He gritted his teeth and whispered, “Jeremiah, we’re not done with what you did to me last time. Don’t think I won’t dare touch you just because your wife protects you.” 

At this moment, Clifford did not look like the influential figure he was known to be outside. Frustration was evident all over his face. 

Thinking about what happened before still made Clifford’s heart ache. After his princess came back from Mysonna and found out it was his and Jeremiah’s trick, she took all her anger out on him. 

For an entire week, he had to sleep in the study. She did not even leave a fold–out bed for him, so he slept on the couch for a week, making his back sore. Only after he apologized and bought her flowers did she finally let it go. 

Most people had kids who would support them in their old age, but Jeremiah was born just to get Clifford into trouble. 

Jeremiah’s angular face showed no emotion as he narrowed his eyes slightly, a deep look in his gaze. With a lazy smile, he looked at Clifford and said, “Sorry, I’ve got a wife to protect me. Wanna try hitting me?” 

Cocky! Show off! Shameless! Completely shameless! Does he have no shame?‘ Clifford exclaimed inwardly, momentarily speechless. 

Clifford had never seen Jeremiah be so shameless before. Ever since Jeremiah started dating, did he need his wife to protect him? How could he say something shameless so openly? 

Jeremiah glanced at Clifford, who was utterly frozen in disbelief, and got in the car. He left Clifford alone in the wind, questioning his life. 

In the Chavez residence living room, Jase sat in front of the chessboard with Aurora across from him. Aurora stared at the board, clearly bored out of her mind. Since she was a kid, she couldn’t stand playing chess. It was too mentally exhausting. 

She did not know what was up today for Jase to insist on playing chess together. But Aurora’s mind had long floated away, completely unfocused on the chessboard as she wondered, ‘Why isn’t Yvette back yet? She should’ve been back by now. Did something happen?‘ 

Jase noticed Aurora’s troubled mind immediately. He put the black piece down and looked up, his eyes sharp despite their

cloudness. He said. Playing chess requires a calm mind. Are you worried about Yvette?” 

wór nodded. She was always straightforward and had been this way with Jase over the years. She replied, “Jase, Yvette would never harm anyone on purpose. She’s a bit cold, but she’s beautiful and good–natured. Why would she attack that Yelena person for no reason?” 

Aurora said. “This issue isn’t still being discussed, is it? Didn’t Jeremiah say he has evidence? Why is he still dithering?” 

Aurora’s tone was full of disdain. If Yvette suffered any injustice, Jeremiah wouldn’t have had to return to the Chavez residence anymore. 

lips twitched slightly, his weathered eyes flashing with helplessness. Ever since his daughter–in–law met Yvette, she pped caring about her own son and husband. He wondered, “Sure, Yvette’s pretty, but how is she good–natured?‘ 

Jase recalled the first time he tested Yvette and how she’d watched the show with a blank expression. 

Jase looked at Aurora and lost interest in the game. He picked up his coffee cup, took a sip, and said in a deep voice, “Even if Jeremiah doesn’t have evidence, Yvette would still find a way to get out of it.” 

Yvette had multiple identities. Anyone else could get into trouble, but not her. She couldn’t fall into the hands of people like the Lynch family. What was there to worry about? 

Jase’s eyes sharpened upon thinking of the Lynch family. For so many years, he had indulged them too much. He did not even realize Yelena’s feelings for Jeremiah. 

One wrong step led to another. Life’s path had to be walked alone; where one went was up to fate. No one else could be blamed. Having offended Yvette, the Lynch family would not escape without a scratch this time. 

Aurora was stunned by Jase’s words for a moment, then nodded seriously. She said, “Exactly, our Yvette doesn’t need that brat to save her.” 

Just as Aurora finished speaking, the housekeeper opened the door, and Jeremiah, Yvette, James, Clifford, and Emmett came in one after another. 

Aurora was originally sitting on a wicker chair, but the moment she saw Yvette, she jumped up immediately and dashed. toward the door as fast as a swallow. 

Clifford happened to be in front of Yvette, and he looked smug as he watched Aurora sprinting over. He glanced at Jeremiah, Yvette, and the others smugly, then reached out his arms, ready to catch Aurora as she ran toward him. 

While reaching out his arms, he said, “Slow down, watch your step, I…” 

He couldn’t utter another word after that.
