Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Wyatt entered after knocking on the door, only to see Jeremiah banding Yvette a tissue. He was shocked by the scene.

Jeremiah was known for his aloofness with women, and in Betrico, many socialites admired him from afar. During his time. in Betrico, Wyatt had never heard of Jeremiah being involved with any young women, so he was curious about Yvette’s background.

Yvette was indeed striking, but her casual demeanor suggested she wasn’t from a prestigious family.

Wyatt quickly put aside his curiosity about Yvette. Regardless of who she was, it wasn’t his place to inquire.

Besides Andrew, everyone else present appeared to be ordinary people, and they seemned quite young.

As soon as Wyatt entered. Tobias stared at him in shock. When he finally regained his senses, he stood up abruptly, banging his knee against the edge of the table, wincing in pain. John and the other jumped at Tobias‘ reaction, looking at him in confusion. Even Yvette glanced over.

“Mr. Langford!” Tobias asked, visibly astonished.

Wyatt, looking warm and friendly, seemed a world away from his earlier demeanor with Zachary and Rebecca. Jeremiah, what a coincidence running into you here.”

Jeremiah, still looking at Yvette, casually replied, “Yes, I’m here having dinner with friends.”

Andrew, with a grin, asked, “Mr. Langford, you’re not following us, are you?”

Wyatt quickly denied it, his tone anxious, afraid of being mistaken for a stalker. “No, absolutely not. This restaurant is owned by my sister–in–law. She’s rarely here, so the place is managed by my wife. I was invited to dinner here to avoid trouble, and running into Jeremiah and you was purely coincidental.

Andrew chuckled. “I was just joking, Mr. Langford, you look so nervous.”

Wyatt was nearly unnerved by Andrew’s comment; the joke wasn’t amusing to him at all.

Jeremiah, however, didn’t suspect that Wyatt had been deliberately following him. He trusted that Wyatt wouldn’t risk having someone investigate his whereabouts, and believed that Wyatt wasn’t foolish enough to do such things.

After greeting Jeremiah, Wyatt turned to Tobias, who had clearly recognized him. “Hello, I’m Wyatt Langford. May I know your name?”

Tobias was taken aback, hardly believing that the Mayor of Seacrity was standing before him so graciously. Nervously, he replied, “Hello, Mr. Langford. I’m Tobias Sunderland, a physics professor at Argrol University. I had the pleasure of meeting you once during a seminar with the university president.”

Wyatt was surprised to find that Jeremiah’s company included a university professor. “Please, sit down. Don’t let my presence disrupt your dinner with Jeremiah. I just came by to say hello and will be leaving soon

Wyatt knew the importance of knowing when to step back and showed tact in his conversation. While chatting Jeremiah and Andrew, he also paid attention to John and Bonnie After learning they were students at Argrol University, he encouraged them to continue their studies diligently.

Most of the conversation was dominated by Wyatt, with Jeremiah listening and Andrew interjecting humorously, making the atmosphere quite pleasant. Finally, Wyatt settled the bill with the waiter and exchanged a few more words before leaving-

Throughout the encounter, Tobias, John, and Bonnie were visibly uneasy. Jeremiah and Andrew remained calm, and Yvette looked careless. She merely glanced at Wyatt when she learned his identity before resuming her game on her phone, paying no attention to their conversation.

Bonnie was stunned for a long time after discovering Wyatt’s identity. She struggled to understand the topics discussed among Jeremiah, Andrew, and the others, only grasping that the amiable man before her was the Mayor of Seacrity, a prominent figure in the news. For Bonnie, it was the most surreal day.

“Mr. Sunderland, was that really the Mayor? I can’t believe I was chatting with him! He even encouraged me to study hard. I feel so lucky!” Bonnie exclaimed.

Andrew tapped Bonnie on the head. “Get over it. He’s just a mayor. What’s there to be excited about?”

Bonnie, not picking up on Andrew’s tone, rubbed her head and said, “Hey, I’m just happy. Can’t you see? The mayor said the future of this country depends on young talents like us! Hmph!”

To bolster her point, Bonnie looked at Yvette. “Right, Yve?”

Yvette put away her phone and nodded carelessly, which only made Bonnie more pleased and proud.

Tobias and John, however, were not so naive. They noticed that Wyatt, as mayor, needed to send the waiter to ask if he could meet Jeremiah. His deference and cautious flattery towards Jeremiah were striking.

While Wyant’s attitude towards Andrew was also telling, it was clear he treated Andrew as an equal, which was intriguing considering the mayor’s high status in Seacrity.

Tobias and John couldn’t fathom how Jeremiah and Andrew, two prominent figures, could be involved in roles like library staff at Argrol University.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Rebecca followed Wyatt out and saw him enter the room across the hall Curious about who could warrant such a personal visit from Wyatt, she wondered if there was someone important in Seacrity that she hadn’t heard of.

Wyatt’s secretary, Janet Miller, was stationed at the door. When she saw Rebecca approaching and peering inside, she understood Rebecca’s curiosity. Janet walked over to Rebecca, who greeted her with a friendly smile, hoping to gather some information.

Rebecca approached gracefully, but Janet quickly blocked her path. “Ms. Carter, you can’t go any further. Mr. Langford is meeting a private acquaintance, and it’s not appropriate for too many people to know about it. I hope you understand.”

Rebecca’s face momentarily showed embarrassment, but she quickly recovered, flashing a bright smile. “Oh, I’m sorry. I just wanted to use the restroom and noticed you here, so I thought I say hello.”

Janet chose not to nail her and smiled back. “You might want to ask the waiter over there”

Realizing that pressing further would only make things awkward Rebecca turned and left. Halfway down the corridor, she paused and said in a playful tone, “Ms. Miller, I hope Mr. Langford doesn’t find out about my little detour. It’s quite embarrassing.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t mention this minor detail to him,” Janet assured her. Rebecca, relieved, then departed

However, as soon as Wyall came out of the room, Janet informed him of Rebecca’s visit. Wyatt, displeased with Rebecca’s meddling, decided to give her a warning.

Rebecca hadn’t anticipated that her attempt to gather information would backfire, resulting in her offending the mayor and The Carter family receiving only a minimal profit from the upcoming business district project.

As Yvette came out of the restroom, she coincidentally encountered a slightly inebriated Zachary. She also saw Lucas, who was here to pick him up.

“Lilian, Lilian, is that you?” Zachary asked.

Yvette paused and looked back at him with lowered eyes, her expression unreadable. Facing Zachary, she remained detached.

Lucas was surprised to run into Yvette at the steakhouse. He calculated that it had been a week since Yvette left the Chambers family. “Hello, Ms. Zeller. Mr. Chambers came here for business and drank too much, so I’m here to take him. home, Lucas said.

Hearing what Lucas said, Zachary sobered up a bit and, recognizing Yvette, felt a pang of guilt. He regretted his hasty decision to send Yvette to the dormitory and had been feeling remorseful for days.

“Yvette, are you dining here too? Zachary asked.

Yvette adjusted her coat and responded coolly, “Yes”
