Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Chapter 30



After leaving the Carter residence, Rebecca drove to her grandfather Claude’s place. She had moved out a long time ago. Compared to the Carter residence, she visited the Carter manor where Claude lived, more often.

“Ms. Carter, Mr. Carter is waiting for you in the study and asked you to come at once,” said the servant when she opened the door.

Rebecca paused for a moment while taking off her high heels. “Got it. I’ll go right now.”

In the study, an elderly man in his seventies sat beside a chessboard. On the board, the white pieces had nowhere left to retreat, while the black pieces closed in, leaving the already defeated white pieces with no chance of recovery.

The elderly man was Claude Carter, whose hairstyle was neat, without a single hair out of place. However, he couldn’t hide the silver strands mingled within his brown hair. His slightly sunken, murky brown eyes revealed a blend of shrewdness and the wear of time.

“How did it get resolved?” Claude asked.

Rebecca nodded respectfully, her tone cautious. “Grandpa, Yvette forced Victor to apologize to the boy who was hurt.”

Claude raised his cloudy eyes and fixed them intently on Rebecca, lost in thought. After a long pause, he asked. “How much did the company lose?”

Rebecca was startled by the question. This was the most significant loss the company had faced since she joined. “According to the estimates, approximately 160 million dollars,” Rebecca replied.

Claude tossed the white piece he was holding into the middle of the chessboard, scattering the game. He stood up unsteadily with the aid of his cane. “Impressive. That’s Lilian’s daughter; her talent was shocking. She managed to let the Carter family Jose 160 million dollars in less than an hour!”

While 160 million dollars was not a significant sum for the Carter family, Yvette’s actions were a direct challenge to Claude’s limits. Rebecca recognized that her grandfather was furious, but she took a moment to voice her thoughts.

“Grandpa, I don’t think Yvette could have done this. When I arrived, she was arguing with Victor on the basketball court and probably wouldn’t have had time to attack the company’s network, Rebecca explained.

She believed Claude was overthinking it; someone as young as Yvette could not possibly breach the infiltrate the company’s systems.

e numerous firewalls and

Anyone capable of such a feat would have to be among the world’s top hackers. The Carter family’s cybersecurity system had been designed by top computer experts from abroad, and Rebecca was convinced that it could not be breached by a country girl.

The only explanation she could come up with was that Yvette had coincidentally met such a hacker, who had helped her today and left some information, forcing her to return to Argrol University to resolve the matter.

Claude stood by the window, his back to Rebecca, his stooped body and gravelly voice adding to the sense of foreboding. “Even if that top hacker isn’t directly involved, they’re still her ally. Try to avoid any direct confrontation with her for now.”

Today, the Chambers family was filled with anxiety.

In the morning Yvette, who had just been brought back home, had injured Nellie. In the afternoon, Winona returned in tears. By the evening. Zachary came home and sat in the living room, waiting for Yvette without even eating dinner.

The Chambers family felt like a bomb that was ready to explode at any by moment.

At a quarter past seven, Yvette arrived home on time. The milkshake put her in a great mood. In fact, she was the happiest person in the entire Chambers family.

Zachary silently waited for Yvette on the sofa. Nellie sat nearby, her neck wrapped in a conspicuous white bandage, her eyes- red and swollen. She didn’t really know what had happened, but it was clear that Zachary’s anger was directed at Yvette.

Winona hadn’t come downstairs; she was in her room video chatting with Victor.

She had already leamed everything that had happened since she left from the campus forum and several friends. She was shocked that Rebecca had actually pressured Victor to apologize to John. Listening to Victor’s complaints about Rebecca on the video, Winona decided to take advantage of the situation. So, she subtly said quite a bit of bad stuff about Rebecca.

While she was upstairs chatting sweetly with Victor, she naturally paid no attention to the situation downstairs.

As soon as Yvette stepped inside, she caught Lucas giving her a subtle signal, and then she noticed Zachary’s livid face and Nellie’s smug expression.

Do you know what you did today?” Zachary asked, his voice tight with anger.

With one hand in her pocket and her eyes slightly narrowed, Yvette looked nonchalant, displaying her usual carefree demeanor.

Zachary was furious. “You let Rebecca pressure Victor into apologizing today? What do you think you’re doing? Do you have any idea how serious this is? Have you even considered the consequences for the Chambers family?”

The Chambers family has nothing to do with me, Yvette replied. Her words ignited Zachary’s fury. He couldn’t believe Yvette would say something like that.

“You’re the eldest daughter of the Chambers family, and you say it has nothing to do with you? Why can’t you be more considerate like Winona? I’m trying my best to compensate you what more do you want? Zachary said.

Yvette tilted her head and gave him a glance, causing Zachary to deflate instantly. He realized that, in Yvette’s eyes, not only the Chambers family but also him, her father, tagged little significance.

With resolve. Zachary declared, “Tomorrow, I’ll have lucas arrange everything for you. You’re going to stay in the dorms for a while to cool off.”

Yvette nodded indifferently, her face void of expression, as if the Chambers family were truly insignificant to her. Without another word, she went upstairs.

A few minutes later, Yvette grabbed the black backpack she had arrived with and walked out of the Chambers residence. without looking back, ignoring Lucas’s calls behind her.

Once outside, Lucas spotted a red sports car parked at the roadside. Yvette got into the car, which roared to life and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a trail of fumes.

Lucas was surprised to see Yvette get into the car, which was clearly a limited edition. He wondered how Yvette had such at wealthy friend.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Zachary slumped down onto the sofa. Watching Yvette leave, he felt a twinge of regret.

“Honey, Yvette is too headstrong. Making her stay in the dorms is for her own good, After next month’s banquet, it won’t be too late to have her back, Nellie said.

Zachary glanced at the injured Nellie, understanding he still had to uphold appearances. “Darling, don’t blame Yvette; she’s still young and surely didn’t mean to act this way. Focus on your recovery, and make sure Winona explains things to Victor properly. After all, we are set to be in-laws with the Carter family, and it would be bad if things got too tense.”

Nellie nodded. “How could I blame Yvette? Don’t worry, I’m not that petty, and I would never harbor any grudge towards Lilian’s daughter. As for the Carter family, Winona knows what to do, as she always does. Just take it easy.”

Taking the chance, Nelle pretended to faint, and Zachary helped her upstairs.

That night, Nellie got what she wanted. When she came downstairs the next morning, she looked radiant, clearly having spent a sweet night with Zachary.

The next day, in the physics classroom at Argrol University, Yvee learned that she had become famous.

The events from the basketball court the day before had spread throughout Argrol University, inexplicably garnering Yvette a group of fans. In just one night, they filled the forum with numerous posts cheering for her.

There were also those who looked down on Yvette, commenting that a country girl was not worth celebrating and that she didn’t deserve the attention. However, Yvette’s fans quickly rebuted these remarks.

Yvette heard all this from John, who happened to be the president of her fan club. When Yvette learned about her newfound popularity, she didn’t pay much attention to it.

In the classroom, Tobias was about to introduce Yvette, but the students were already restless.

Some who hadn’t been at the basketball court the day before were unaware of how Yvette had made Victor apologize. Still, they had heard others speak of how cool and beautiful she was.

The physics department always had many boys and few girls. During large campus events, the single guys from physics often faced ridicule from students in other departments. But now, things were different; Yvette, the new campus beauty, was from the physics department, and that was enough for them to boast about

“Mr. Sunderland, we already know Yvette!”

“Yeah, there’s no need for an introduction.

That’s right! Now everyone knows that the new campus beauty is from the physics department!”

Tobias looked at Yvette, who sat quietly with her head down. He recalled how she had come to him that morning to arrange on-campus housing and wondered if she had been kicked out by her father.

The more Tobias looked at Yvette, the more he li that she was a kind-hearted girl.

her. He initially thought she would be a troublemaker, only to discover

In the situation yesterday, it had been only Yvette who stood up for John. Tobias vowed to take better care of her in the future since she was a poor kid.

“All right, everyone, be quiet. Yvette, please introduce yourself! he said.

Yvette gazed at the curious faces of the students, stepped up to the podium, and wrote her name before stepping back down.

Her handwriting was as cool as she was, sharp yet revealing a carefree attitude.

Tobias stared thoughtfully at the letters on the board. Suddenly, he found Yvette’s handwriting a bit familiar; he felt like he had seen it before in his old man’s study. But in the next moment, he doubted himself, thinking he must have made a mistake.
