Chapter 366_Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

The olddy’s face immediately fell when she heard that. She gave Zachary a dark look, then put down her coffee so much put down as mmed it on the table with a thud.

 cup–not

 The other rtives of the Chambers family saw what was happening and instantly fell silent, pretending to drink their coffee.

 The olddy turned to Zachary with a sarcastic tone. “Zachary, look at you, getting all high and mighty. I know your long- lost daughter is doing well and famous all over the country now, but you can’t forget your roots. I was making that suggestion out of kindness. Don’t take my goodwill for granted. Honestly, with your daughter being so headstrong, what respectable family would take her? My grandson is the only one willing to consider her, practically begging me toe and propose.”

 Yvette was Zachary’s bottom line. Since it hade to this, he decided to tear off the pretensepletely. His demeanor shifted, and he said sharply, “Grand–aunt, like I said, it’s not happening. If you want to be blunt, then I’ll be blunt too. Your grandson, who weighs over 200 pounds and is aplete mess–drinking, gambling, womanizing–he might seem like a catch to you, but to others, he’s a joke. Even if my daughter never gets married, she would never marry him. So drop it.”

 Zachary’s words sessfully turned the olddy’s face dark as coal. ‘How does Zachary know my grandson is fat? And about all his drinking, gambling, and womanizing? He’s all the way in Seacrity; how could he possibly know these things?‘ The olddy immediately started spinning conspiracy theories in her mind.

 The others were stunned, too. A moment ago, the conversation was lively, but now their faces were flushed with embarrassment. Even they looked a bit dissatisfied with the olddy.

 Humiliated and angry, the olddy stood up, shaking, pointing a trembling finger at Zachary. “Fine! You Chambers family people are something else! I was kindly offering your daughter a match, and this is how you repay me? My grandson must’ve been out of his mind to take an interest in that Yvette. Let’s see how high and mighty your daughter acts when no one wants to marry her, and she’s left all alone.”

 “Who I marry has nothing to do with you.”

 Zachary froze slightly when he heard that voice, then turned excitedly. Sure enough, standing there was the person he’d been dreaming of seeing. ‘Ever since she performed my surgery she hasn’t returned to Seacrity, but today she’s finallye back.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.

 eyes on The next person to get excited was Lucas. A dragon is never, ever bound to the pond. From the moment he firstid Grand–aunt, he knew she wasn’t an ordinary person. And it turned out he was right. ‘Grand–aunt represented the country in apetition and even beat the Ybaun team! How incredible

 Lucas looked at Yvette standing at the door and shouted, “Grand–aunt, you’re back!”

 Yvette, dressed in ck pants and a ck shirt, added a cool and aloof touch to the summer day. She lifted her gaze, sweeping it over the room, hands casually in her pockets, then slowly walked towards Zachary with a swagger, her upturned eyes full of defiance.

 The Chambers family rtives in the room were seeing Yvette for the first time. They had only ever seen her on TV before, and now they were all dumbfounded. They hadn’t expected her to look so much more stunning in person. Some people always said that TV doesn’t do people justice, and they hadn’t believed it until now. Yvette was breathtakingly beautiful from every angle.

 Even the olddy who had just been running her mouth was momentarily stunned by Yvette’s aura and beauty, instinctively taking a step back when Yvette’s gaze swept over her

 Yvette leisurely walked up to Zachary, raised an eyebrow, with a barely–there smile on her lips, and said in her usual cold voice, “Quite the lively scene, huh?”

 Zachary was so excited his hands trembled slightly. He didn’t care about the people in the room and looked lovingly at Yvette. “Just some distant rtives. You must be tired after just getting back to Seacrity. Go upstairs and rest. I’ll have the kitchen prepare some food for you. You’re looking skinnier. I’ll have them make you some milk stew, chicken soup, and the sea bass that arrived by air yesterday. You need to get your strength back.”

 Zachary turned to call for Lucas, but the olddy’s voice interrupted him. “Ah, so this is Yvette? She looks even more exquisite in person than on TV! I’m your father’s grand–aunt, so you can just call me Grand–aunt.”

 The olddy’s sudden shift in attitude left everyone in the living room speechless. ‘Wasn’t she just saying Yvette would die alone and never get married? Now she’s suddenly all smiles? How fake can you get?‘

 The olddy, with all her years of life experience, didn’t even blush when she spoke such words. It was obvious she’d said these kinds of things many times before.

 Yvette turned her head, her eyes half–lowered, with no expression on her face. Ignoring everyone in the room, she walked over to the sofa, sat down, leaned back, and spread her arms wide in apletely dominant pose. She exuded an aura of arrogance and defiance.

 The Chambers family rtives, seeing this side of Yvette, all looked uneasy.

 The olddy, suppressing her displeasure, spoke to Yvette on the sofa. “Yvette, I am your—”

 “What does that have to do with me?” Yvette’s simple four words made the olddy’s face turn extremely sour.

 ‘What do you mean, what does it have to do with her? That’s just too much!‘ The olddy couldn’t keep up her act any longer and reverted to her usual sharp–tongued self. “Well, aren’t the Chambers family just the high and mighty ones! If you look down on your poor rtives so much, what are we even doing here? Are we just here to beughed at?”

 The olddy said this on purpose, hoping to stir up resentment among the others towards Zachary and Yvette. She thought the people in the living room would side with her, but she didn’t realize they all had their own interests tied to the Chambers family and wouldn’t dare offend them.

 Despite all her talk, not a single person in the room backed her up. The olddy was thoroughly humiliated. Furious, she red at Zachary and Yvette, then huffed and delivered her ultimatum. “Fine! If you’re going to be so heartless, we’ll just cut off all ties.”

 Yvette’s lips twitched slightly, her gaze icy and detached as she stared at the smug olddy. She said, “Show her out.”

 Lucas immediately followed the order without hesitation. He gestured towards the door and said, “This way, please. I’ll see you out.”

 The olddy’s face froze, and the others in the room didn’t look much better. Yvette’s words had caught everyone off guard; no one expected her to actually kick them out without any regard for appearances.

 Seeing even Lucas daring to show her the door, the olddy almost choked on her anger. She clutched her chest as if she was about to have a heart attack. “You…you…Zachary, you’re really going to let your daughter treat me like this? I’m your grand–aunt! When your mother was alive, she treated me with so much respect. And now, your daughter wants to kick me out? Aren’t you going to say something fair?”
