Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Zachary arrived at the police station ahead of everyone. Winona had only mentioned Yvette was taken away by the police on an assault charge. Zachary was frustrated and concerned, wondering what Yvette had done this time to end up in the police station.

Does Yvette even care about her reputation? Which prestigious family would want a daughter-in-law who’s been to the police station?’ cursed Zachary internally, feeling an oncoming headache. Plus, is it a big issue? Did the police investigate properly before arresting Yvette? Don’t they know Yvette is my daughter? Does my prestige mean nothing to the police?’ he continued fuming inwardly.

When Zachary arrived at the police station wanting to bail out Yvette, the police refused his request.

Lucas quietly bribed a young officer, who disclosed that Yvette had gotten on the wrong side of Daniel. She’d apparently caused Ethan so much distress he was hospitalized until now.

Upon hearing that, Zachary was upset, but he couldn’t stand by and watch Yvette get convicted, so he started figuring out how to get her released. If worse comes to worst, I can ask Yvette to apologize to Ethan later. There’s no way Daniel wouldn’t at least give me some respect after getting an apology, he thought resignedly.

Just then, Lachlan, who had been questioning Yvette, stepped out for a smoke. The young officer immediately approached Lachlan and whispered to him, after which Lachlan glanced at Zachary doubtfully before walking over toward Zachary “Who are you?” asked Lachlan

Zachary, still being too proud, stayed quiet, allowing Lucas to take over the conversation. “Hello, sir. Yvette is the Chambers family’s eldest daughter. Could you tell us how we can arrange for her bail? We will fully cooperate with any follow-up,” stated Lucas.

Lachlan carefully observed the stoic-looking Zachary, recognizing him as one of the four prominent families’ head, the Chambers family’s head. He was shocked to know Yvette was the Chambers family’s eldest daughter.

‘But her surname is Zeller, while Zachary’s is Chambers! How could they be a family? However, Zachary has personally come down to the station, so it couldn’t possibly be a lie!’ thought Lachlan, feeling slightly nervous dealing with someone important like Zachary “Mr. Zachary Chambers, I’m surprised to see you here. As a low-ranked officer, I can’t decide on this. Maybe you could call the chief, Jonathan Quigley, yourself…” he said

Right then, a furious voice cut through the police station lobby. Bail? Yvette hurt Ethan, yet you still want to talk about bail? Daniel had rushed in and coincidentally caught Zachary discussing bailing Yvette out.

Recognizing Daniel’s voice, Zachary stood up eagerly to greet him.

However, even after seeing Zachary’s reaction, Daniel deliberately ignored him, briskly walking past as if Zachary was

invisible.

Zachary immediately felt embarrassed.

Daniel doing this in front of everyone else meant he was ready for a fallout with Zachary over this issue.

Unaware of the truth and thinking that since Yvette was at fault, Zachary forced a smile as he stepped forward, bringing him face-to-face with Daniel

Dantel couldn’t pretend anymore that he didn’t see Zachary

“Mr. Brooks, it seems there has been a misunderstanding. Yvette didn’t know who Ethan was, or she wouldn’t have harmed Ethan otherwise. I’ll cover all his hospital expenses and compensate for his emotional damages. And, I promise to bring Yvette around to apologize in person another day. Can we settle this privately?” asked Zachary humbly.

Daniel snorted. “Mr. Chambers, it’s easy for you to say that since Yvette’s not hurt, but Ethan is still in the hospital. Do you think the Brooks family can’t afford his medical expenses?” But Daniel wasn’t done venting yet. He looked at Zachary and sneered. “The Chambers family’s eldest daughter sure knows how to make an entrance. Just yesterday, at Sky Nimbus, Yvette made a massive 100 million dollar bet.”

“It seems like you really spoil hert She has only returned to the family yet has such substantial fortune. I’m sure you’re still unaware, but the duty manager, Justin, said Yvette was already aware of Ethan’s identity while at the casino and wasn’t intimidated by it. So stop it with the misunderstanding story. It seems like, to Yvette, my reputation carries no weight at all” scoffed Daniel.

Zachary’s face went stiff as he mechanically repeated, “100 million dollars? So the rumored girl betting 100 million dollars yesterday at Sky Nimbus was Yvente?”

Daniel shot an annoyed glance at Zachary. Do you think I would lie about something like this and frame Yvette?”

Of course, Zachary knew Daniel wouldn’t do that, so he was convinced this incident must be true. This morning, when the news about the 100 million dollar bet at Sky Nimbus had spread throughout high society, Zachary even jested with Lucas about who the daring soul was, never imagining it could be Yvette!All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Zachary recalled the Frixyia competition Yvette mentioned a few days ago. When he had Lucas go over to Argrol University to deliver the mansion keys, Zachary had also asked Lucas to check with Yvette about the competition results. Hearing that Yvette had won left Zachary both surprised and slightly proud. Yvette was, after all, Zachary and Lilian’s child, and despite growing up in the countryside, Yvette was still outstanding

Right after that, Zachary heard a rumor that the Sullivan family, whose daughter competed against Yvette, went bankrupt overnight and left Seacrity. People said it was because of Yvette, but Zachary didn’t quite believe it. Then, he unexpectedly

met Yvette at a steakhouse and Wyatt personally picking up the bill.

Zachary thought, If Yvette was the rumored person from the casino yesterday, then the whole situation has become even more puzzling. Where did she get the 100 million dollars from! Ever since Yvette left the Chambers residence, except for her black backpack and the Heart of Lorry that I gifted and was seen lying on the table in her room by Lucas, Yvette hadn’t taken anything from the Chambers residence.

The mansion transfer papers I sent her had just been finalized. There’s no way Yvette could have turned the mansion into cash that fast, which means she came up with the 100 million dollars on her own to gamble with Ethan’

With everything adding up, Zachary realized he couldn’t underestimate Yvette anymore. ‘What has Yvette experienced all these years? Just like Lilian, who vanished suddenly back then, what secrets is she hiding? he wondered confusedly.

Sensing Zachary’s silence, Daniel assumed he had nothing to say and turned to Lachlan, demanding. “Where’s Yvette? Take me to her.

Since Daniel arrived, Lachlan hadn’t dared to say another word. The conversation between Seacrity’s important figures wasn’t something a small fry like him could join in. Lachlan nodded and glanced at Zachary before saying. “Follow me. We’ve got Yvette locked up in the isolation room.”

When Zachary heard that, he became even more anxious. How could they lock a girl up in an isolation room?’ he fumed inwardly.

He was sure it wasn’t Lachlan’s idea, so it must have been Daniel’s orders. ‘Since he’s using this method against Yvette, it seems like things won’t be resolved smoothly today, thought Zachary. He then demanded assertively. “As Yvette’s family member, I have the right to see my daughter, don’t I?

Daniel had anticipated Zachary’s response. He frowned but kept a businesslike demeanor as he replied, “Of course, but I’m afraid you’ll have to wait. As the victim’s family member and Seacrity’s deputy mayor, it’s my duty and responsibility to question her personally With that, he followed Lachlan into the isolation room.
