Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Jeremiah looked down at the innocent–looking Rodney, his eyes glowing with a faint displeasure. He said in a low, “Okay”

Rodney smiled obediently at Jeremiah “Please, Mr. Chavez, this way.”

Rodney turned to the others and said, “Samantha, Emmett, your rooms are on the second floor, just like Yvette’s. I’ll take Mr. Chavez to his room first. His is a bit farther.”

Rodney’s arrangement of Jeremiah’s room so far from Yvette’s left no room for doubt about his intentions.

Jeremiah walked over to Yvette, his eyes softening with a gentle tenderness as he gazed at her. He raised an eyebrow with at charming smile and said in a low voice, “Wait for me.”

Yvette casually slipped her hands into her pockets, her posture relaxed. A playful smile danced at the corner of her lips as she looked at him, saying nothing.

Eagle King muttered as he watched Jeremiah and Rodney leave, “Rodney must be up to no good again.”

Samantha, Emmett, and Charles all nodded in agreement, feeling a bit sorry for Jeremiah in his ongoing battle of wits with Rodney. They all had the feeling that if Jeremiah wanted to win Yvette’s heart, it would definitely not be an easy feat.

Yvette tilted her head slightly, yawning. She looked at them and said, “I’m tired. I’ll head upstairs. You all make yourselves at home.” With that, she went upstairs, leaving them alone.

Jeremiah and Rodney walked side by side, but Jeremiah was walking faster than Rodney. The latter struggled to keep up,

falling behind a couple of steps without realizing it.

Looking at Jeremiah ahead of him, Rodney’s face darkened. He thought, ‘Damn, this guy is definitely doing this on purpose. He thinks I don’t know what he’s up to, huh?‘

Jeremiah, hearing Rodney muttering behind him, paused and turned his head with a subtle smile curling at the corners of his lips. “Why did you stop?”

Rodney froze for a moment, realizing that Jeremiah had caught onto his little struggle. He thought, ‘He is simply too cunning, pretending to be oblivious when he knew full well that couldn’t keep up.‘

Rodney took a deep breath and forced a smile, playing innocent. “Nothing. I just suddenly remembered some little stories about me and Yvette and got a bit distracted.”

Jeremiah’s eyes darkened, feeling a little pissed as he stared at Rodney’s innocent yet slightly defiant face. His expression remained unreadable, his voice cold and indifferent as he responded, “Oh? What kind of stories?”

Rodney, fully aware of what he was doing, decided to stop walking. He perched himself on the nearby railing and fixed his innocent eyes on Jeremiah. “It’s nothing. Yvette once helped me with a medicinal bath to cure my natural weakness.

“And, well, she insisted I take it completely naked. I still get a little embarrassed thinking about it.”

Jeremiah’s smile quickly faded, his gaze sharpening like a bottomless abyss. The calm, almost chilling depths of his stare seemed to freeze the air around him.

Rodney knew exactly what he was doing–provoking Jeremiah. If he could just get the man to snap, even better if he ended up hurt. That way, Yvette would surely turn her back on him.

Rodney continued to smirk, his eyes dancing with defiance, daring Jeremiah to do something.

Jeremiah lowered his gaze. When he finally looked up, his expression remained cool, almost dismissive. “What’s good about a child’s underdeveloped body?”

Rodney blinked, caught off guard for a moment. His cheeks flushed with a mix of anger and embarrassment. Without thinking, he leaped from the railing and charged at Jeremiah, full of righteous fury.

Jeremiah’s eyes flashed briefly, but he made no move to dodge. He stood perfectly still, awaiting Rodney’s approach.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The next second, Rodney run into Jeremiah. He didn’t expect his surprise attack to succeed so easily. For a moment, he was left stunned and dumbfounded as Jeremiah smiled and simply collapsed to the ground.

It happened so fast that Rodney was left standing there, wide–eyed. This wasn’t how he had imagined it at all. He thought. ‘How could he be so weak? No way… Why would Yvette fall in love with a weak man?

Panic surged through Rodney as he rushed to Jeremiah’s side. He felt frightened when he felt the weakened pulse beneath his fingers.

He thought, ‘One can fake fainting, but the breath can’t be faked. Why does he look like he’s on the verge of death?

If it were anyone else, Rodney wouldn’t care, no matter how many of them died. However, Jeremiah was Yvette’s boyfriend, and if something happened to him because of him, it would be a serious matter.

Just as Rodney was starting to panic and about to call for help, he heard Emmett’s voice from a distance. “Jeremiah Without a second thought, he quickly shouted back, “We are over here!”

Within two minutes, Emmett arrived, feeling stunned when he saw Jeremiah lying motionless on the ground. He glanced at Rodney who was still kneeling anxiously by Jeremiah’s side and asked, “What happened? Why is his breathing so weak? What happened to him?”

Rodney had to recount what had just happened. Being too nervous, he naturally didn’t notice the unnatural look on Emmett’s face when he heard these words.

Emmett lowered his head and pretended to be worried, but deep down, he was at a loss for words. He glanced at Jeremiah lying unconscious” on the floor and couldn’t help but think, ‘Poor Rodney. He has no idea what is going on.

Rodney, of course, had no clue that if anything really happened to Jeremiah, Emmett wouldn’t have time to listen to him ramble on about all this nonsense.

After hearing Rodney’s words, Emmett’s expression turned grave as he spoke to him, “We need to get Jeremiah to Yvette’s place right away. If we wait any longer, it’ll be too late.”

Rodney hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly nodded. There was no way they could keep Jeremiah’s condition from Yvette at this point. His plan had backfired.

Earlier, he had moved all the guards along this route, so now, if something happened to Jeremiah, he wouldn’t have anyone to vouch for him and explain it to Yvette.

Emmett helped Jeremiah up, turning to Rodney and saying, “Hurry up and help me.”

Rodney quickly moved forward, using his frail shoulder to support Jeremiah. As Jeremiah leaned against him, Rodney felt a chill emanating from his body, sending a wave of fear through him. He thought, ‘Was he already dead? Why is his body so cold?‘

On the second floor, Yvette had just stepped out of the shower and changed into a new tracksuit. She was about to pick up the phone on the table when there was a knock at the door.

Yvette turned and walked to the door. As soon as she opened it, she saw Rodney covered in sweat, with the unconscious Jeremiah in his arms, and Emmett, his face full of worry.

Before she could say anything, the door to the next room opened. Charles, Eagle King, and Samantha had all heard the hurried knocking and came out.

Samantha, who had just changed into her pajamas and was planning to rest, had no intention of staying in bed after hearing the knocking. She rushed out to see Jeremiah unconscious, and immediately all the drowsiness vanished from her. “What?

Did Jeremiah pass out?”
