Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Jeremiah put his food aside. Without even looking up, he said coldly, “Uh–hum.”

The waiter didn’t know what he meant. Since Jeremiah looked too intimidating, he dared not ask him again. He looked at Andrew as if asking for help!

The waiter remembered that Jeremiah, Yvette and Andrew had come here together last time. Jeremiah and Yvette both looked cold and unapproachable, though very attractive. He fell anxious and dared not ask too many questions.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Moreover, the person requesting to see Jeremiah was the mayor of Seacrity, who frequently appeared on news channels. Even the mayor had to send someone to inquire if Jeremiah was available, leaving the waiter almost too intimidated to guess Jeremiah’s identity.

Seeing the waiter’s pleading look, Andrew decided to respond on Jeremiah’s behalf. He felt like he might as well be asking Jeremiah for a paycheck at this rate.

Jeremiah is available. Have him come over.” Andrew said.

The waiter finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that if Jeremiah refused, the mayor might direct his frustration at him.

After the waiter left, Andrew complained to Jeremiah, Jeremiah, could you be a bit more approachable? Can’t you see you scared the waiter so much that he was afraid to speak?”

Jeremiah gave him a glance and continued eating with his usual limpassive expression. Andrew could only give up.

Bonnie, noticing Andrew’s discomfort, snickered quietly to herself. When Andrew caught her, she flashed him a teasing smile. Frustrated, Andrew could only vent his irritation on his food. He hadn’t expected that even Bonnie had found an opportunity to mock him.

prepared

After dinner, Yvette needed to return to finish the assignment Tobias had left. She stood up, thanked Jeremiah, and to leave. Bonnie, John, and Tobias, who had finished eating earlier, quickly gathered their things and readied their bags to leave with her.

At that moment, Jeremiah stopped Yvette. “Wait. I’d like to introduce you to someone.”

Yvette considered it for a moment and then sat back down. The others, not wanting to leave before Jeremiah had finished, also stayed. After all, Jeremiah had paid for the meal, and it seemed improper to leave before he had.

Wyatt was dining out with the Seacrity Chamber of Commerce today. Although big shots like them typically wouldn’t choose a steakhouse like this, this particular one was owned by Wyatt’s sister–in–law.

Since she spent most of her time abroad and rarely returned, the restaurant was usually managed by Wyatt’s wife, providing a more private setting.

As the mayor of Seacrity, Wyatt’s presence would always create a stir, so he had specifically requested his secretary to arrange for dinner at this steakhouse. To his surprise, he saw Jeremiah and Andrew there, which delighted him.

Since the last incident, Jeremiah had only visited his office once and had not been seen again. Wyatt had been hesitant to disturb or seek him out, fearing to offend someone known for his ruthless methods in Betrico,

However, now that they had run into each other, Wyatt was eager to find an opportunity to get close to Jeremiah. Wyatt planned to return to Betrico in the future. Building a good relationship with Jeremiah would be beneficial. It would be much harder to approach Jeremiah once he was back in Betrico.

In Wyatt’s private dining room, the beads of the Lewis family, the Chambers family, and the Smith family were all present. However, the Carter family sent Rebecca, as Robert’s influence within the family had already been diminished.

At the table, the four appeared to be getting along harmoniously, Rebecca and Zachary seemed to be enjoying themselves, as if Yvette had never forced Victor to apologize. They tacitly avoided discussing the incident, knowing that their primary purpose for being here was to advance their own family’s interests, and there was no need to create any unpleasantness. Seeing Wyatt preparing to leave, they were concerned that they had somehow offended the mayor and quickly stood up. “Mr. Langford, did we do something wrong? Why are you leaving so soon?”

Yes, please stay a bit longer. We’d love to hear more of your advice?

Indeed. A word from you is worth more than ten years of study

Their flattery was evident. Wyatt smiled, but then turned serious. He understood that some relationships need to be handled with care, considering the historical issues of political and business entanglements.

As the mayor of Seacrity, he had been cautious about this. Seacrity was merely a stepping stone for him, and he couldn’t afford any blemishes on his record before returning to Betrico.

Despite receiving numerous gifts from Seacrity’s four major families, Wyatt had never accepted them nor explicitly sided with any family.

The invitation to this dinner was to discuss the upcoming commercial development, with each party hoping to gain a share. Wyatt, ever shrewd, enjoyed his meal and drinks without making any promises before preparing to leave.

Zachary, Rebecca, and the others were not ready to give up and sought to glean more information.

“Sorry, everyone. I’ve run into an acquaintance and really need to go now. Please enjoy the rest of your meal. As for the commercial development plans, the government will issue a public tender. Just try your best,” Wyatt said.

With this, Zachary and the others had no choice but to let Wyatt go, watching as he departed.

Rebecca stared thoughtfully at the direction Wyatt had gone. It didn’t seem like he was just making an excuse to leave; he appeared genuinely eager to meet someone. She was curious about who could be important enough for the mayor to rush

of 10 sec.

Zachary approached and interrupted Rebecca’s thoughts. “Rebecca, how have you been lately?”

Rebecca turned to him with a cold smile, her tone somewhat unfriendly. “Mr. Chambers, of course, I haven’t been well. After all, I’ve lost 160 million dollars. Your daughter is quite something; she even forced my brother to apologize in person. It seems our families‘ marriage arrangement displeases her!”

Zachary was taken aback. To be honest, he admired Rebecca for her courage, determination, and intelligence. He didn’t understand why she was being so harsh and irrational today.

In fact, Rebecca’s reaction was understandable. This was the first major setback she had faced since taking over the company, and their network security system was still inadequate.

The virus was so sophisticated that even international teams struggled to handle with it. She had received considerable criticism from Claude over the issue, leaving her with a lot of pent–up frustration. Zachary had just become her outlet for that frustration today.

Zachary was confused. He knew Yvette had forced Victor to apologize, but he didn’t see how the 160 million dollars loss was related to him.

“Rebecca, Yvette did act inappropriately and embarrassed Victor but how does the 160 million dollar loss relate to the Chambers family? That’s not a joke to be taken lightly,” Zachary said.

Rebecca studied Zachary closely, confirming that he genuinely new nothing about the situation. If he had known about the top hacker behind Yvette, he wouldn’t have sent her away to stay in a dorm.

Suddenly, Rebecca’s expression changed as a realization hit her. Her earlier gloom lifted, and her tone became much warmer.

“Sorry, Mr. Chambers. I was just so upset that I said something stupid. Please don’t mind it. I’ll visit you when I have time.” she said, then picked up her handbag and left.
