Yvette lowered her eyes and then looked up at Jase, who had stopped pretending.
His eyes were blue and intense.
She gave a slight smirk, tilted her head, and nced casually at Yusef
Her voice was gentle and slow. She said, “First of all, how would a simple security guard know myst name is Zeller? How could he call me Ms. Zeller the very first time we met? Is he psychic or can he predict the future? There’s only one
nation-he already knew who I was. When he saw I was about to leave, he was desperate to involve me in this. Isn’t that suspicious?
Yusef rubbed his nose.
It was definitely a rookie mistake. He had been too concerned about Mr. Jase Chavez’s safety, which was why he slipped up.
Jase maintained a stern face, although he couldn’t help the smile that tugged at his lips.
He continued to ask, “Just based on that? What does his mistake have to do with me, a simple farmer being chased for debts?”
Yvette crossed her legs, leaned back, and showed no fear at all in response to his questioning. She raised her eyebrows. Her boss-like posture left everyone else in the room at a loss for words. That was true audacity.
She remained so calm under Mr. Jase Chavez’s questioning – Yusef had only seen one other person do it before.
It was Jeremiah, who had never been afraid of Mr. Jase Chavez even as a child, and now, Yvette was the second. A whole. family of rebels.
Yvette cleared her throat.
She looked at the three burly men standing there, like kids who had been caught doing something wrong.
She repliedzily, “Second, that kick just now was pretty fake. Were you trying to use a blind spot? Sorry, but I saw it clearly With the righteous aura those three have, anyone with eyes should notice. Plus, the color on that dragon and tiger tattoo is fading
The three of them quickly looked at their tattoos and their hands
Sure enough, the too colors had started to fade, and some of the colors had smudged onto their hands.
They lowered their heads in embarrassment. They especially got tattoos to make the y look more realistic, with a dragon on the left, and a tiger on the right.
Jase noticed the tattoos fading colors, with his mustache twitching slightly. His eyes grew intense
He examined Yvette closely. “Alright, even if what you said is true, what does that have to do with me?” he asked.
Yvette looked at Jase, clicked her tongue, and replied slowly.
Her voice was calm. She said, “Old man, didn’t you look in the mirror before putting on
Jase paused. “Look in the mirror?”
He lookedpletely puzzled. What did a mirror have to do with his act?
this act?”
Yvette chuckled softly, with an indifferent tone, and her blue eyes half-closed.
She said, “You and Jeremiah have at least a seventy percent simrity in bone structure.”
Jase immediately retorted, “I was way more handsome than that brat Jeremiah when I was young!”
Yvette shot back, “I don’t think so,”
The conversation had reached this point.
Jase finally stopped asking questions. The girl’s eyes were as sharp as a hawk’s
And her observations were spot on. He said, “Yvette, since you saw through my act from the beginning, why did you just watch me perform instead of helping? It’s not easy for an old man like me, you know. Why didn’t you cooperate with my show in the end? It would have left a good impression if you saved me in this situation and showed your kindness.”
Yvette stood up from the chair, her face showing indifference and her aura cool. Carelessly, she said, “It’s not important.”
Jase puffed his mustache in anger and stared wide-eyed.
Given his high rank, the other three thought he was truly angry and didn’t dare to breathe loudly.
The old man was a veteran of the battlefield. When he got angry, his intimidating aura was something most people couldn’t withstand.
He said, “Youngdy, you must have guessed who I am by now, right? Aren’t you afraid I’ll get upset and stop you from marrying into the Chavez family? Force Jeremiah to break up with you and part you two lovebirds?”
Yvette was silent for a few seconds, When she looked up again, her eyes were blue and devoid of any warmth.
She asked straightforwardly, “Do you want Jeremiah to break up with me?”
Jase was momentarily at a loss for words.
He was just trying to scare the girl.
If they broke up, his grandson might never find someone else, just like his father who loved only one person for his entire life.
The men of the Chavez family were firm about their choice – there was no such thing as breaking up, and only death could separate them.
In the car, Jeremiab lowered his eyes, and then suddenly opened them, a look of understanding in his deep, cold eyes.

He spoke to Emmett, who was driving, “Turn the car around now
Emmett’s hands moved faster than his mind, and he quickly made a U-turn.
He was puzzled as to why they suddenly turned back and thought. We have just left Sknd. Is Mr. Chavez missing Yvette again?
Emmett said, “Mr. Chavez, if we turn back now, we might not make it to the military base on time. Should we inform the deputymander in advance?”
Jeremiah’s fingers drumined on the armrest. Tap, tap, tap.
Emmett was baffled by the statement. “No need. His task has already failed.”
20 minutester, Jeremiah and Emmett were back in Sknd.
As soon as they got to the door, they saw three people standing in the yard… What a coincidence.
They were all familiar faces from the military. The three had been personally mentored by Jeremiah and were exceptional soldiers.
Emmett vaguely recognized them and was confused why they were there..
That was indeed a strange situation.
The three stood straight, eyes fixed ahead. They clearly preferred guard duty over acting.
As soon as they noticed Jeremiah approaching, they instantly stood even straighter, bodies tense, and their expressions stiffened.
To these soldiers, Jeremiah was like a hero.
The three saluted together.
“Good morning. Mr. Jeremiah Chavez, they greeted in unison.
Jeremiah had already pieced together most of the situation. He nodded slightly, his face expressionless.
Emmett asked, “Why are you three here?”
The three quickly exined, “Mr. Jeremiah Chavez, Emmett, we came with Mr. Jase Chavez
Jeremiah remained calm.
Emmett couldn’t keep his cool. “Came with Mr. Jase Chavez, huh? So, where is he now?” he asked.
The three of them looked into the room. The meaning was clear, Emmett finally understood why Mr. Chavez was in such a rush to get back.
Mr. Jase Chavez came all the way to Sknd just to see his grandson’s wife.
Emmett quickly figured it all out, No wonder Mr. Chavez said there was no need to inform the deputymander. It was clear Mr. Jase Chavez and Mitchell were in cahoots to get Mr. Chavez out of the picture.
Emmett thought. What was going on inside? It is quite possible that trouble will arise considering their personalities. Yvette isn’t afraid of anything, and Mr. Jase Chavez is aged and stubbornly – what if they don’t agree? Are they arguing inside! If they really start fighting, who would Mr. Chavez support? One is the grandpa who has cared for him for years, and the other is the woman he loves deeply
That was a tough choice.
While Emmett was lost in thought, Jeremiah was already heading inside, snapping Emmett back to reality. He quickly followed.
In the living room, Yusef had just stepped out of the coffee room with coffee, running into Jeremiah and Emmett as they wereing in from outside.
With a broad smile, Yusef greeted Jeremiah, “Jeremiah, you’re back already! Why so soon?”
Jeremiah nodded slightly, “Are they inside?”
Yusef nodded, “Yeah, Mr. Jase Chavez is inside, and Ms. Zeller is with him.”
Emmett chimed in. Tello, Uncle Gunnell.”
Yusef gave Emmett a quick look and said, “You look much stronger with your internal energy than before, kid.
Being a martial arts expert himself, Yusef immediately noticed the substantial improvement in Emmett’s internal energy.
Emmett nodded sheepishly and said, “Thanks to Yvette
At that moment, a deep voice came from inside. “You rascal, back already and still dawdling?
