Chapter 388_Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

In the city office, Wyatt waved his secretary away while holding the phone, and politely said to the person on the other end, “Ms. Zeller, what can I do for you?”

 In the Chambers Group meeting room, Yvette spoke with a somewhat cool tone over the phone, “Is it okay if I put it on speaker?”

 Wyatt quickly agreed, “Of course, no problem. Since everyone we’re discussing is someone Ms. Zeller knows.”

 After cing her phone on the table, Yvette pressed the speaker button in front of everyone in the meeting room. A voice, both familiar and unfamiliar, came through, “Hello, what do you need?”

 Lucas, behind Yvette, lifted his head immediately. He wasn’t sure if others recognized the voice, but he was quite familiar with it, having heard it just a few days ago. Yvette was really brave. When she fought back, it was fatal.

 It was funny that Nelson and Warron tried to scare Yvette with Wyatt. Now Yvette called him directly. Lucas was curious about what they do next.

 Everyone else in the meeting room exchanged puzzled nces. They were discussing the case about the eastern suburb project and wondering why Yvette was suddenly on a call with a stranger.

 People below started whispering, “Who is Ms. Zeller calling during the case discussion? How did it end up in a phone call?”

 “I wonder if it’s a big shot Ms. Zeller is contacting to pull some strings.”

 “He doesn’t seem like it at all. Have you ever seen someone powerful be so approachable? The way she’s talking doesn’t sound like someone asking for a favor.”

 “I think so too. Do you think… Could she have called Mr. Langford, the mayor?”

 “Stop dreaming. How would she have the mayor’s private number? You’re crazy to even think that. Wake up. Even our chairman probably doesn’t have his number.”

 “You’re right too. I’m just kidding. But what if she does know him? Ms. Zeller returned from Betrico, so it’s quite normal for her to be acquainted with some big officials.”

 “Do you think all officials have nothing to do? With their status, why would they casually call up a chess yer? That’s absurd.”

 Just then, the man on the other end said, “This is Wyatt.”

 Everyone’s eyes instantly locked onto the phone on the table. Their faces were frozen in shock, eyes wide with surprise, and a few even showed clear disbelief.

 Nelson’s hand shook as he held the cup, looking incredibly shocked Hot water spilled onto his hand, but he couldn’t even bother about the pain.

 No wonder this voice sounded so familiar. He had just heard it on the news this morning. Warron’s smug look was suddenly wiped off his face, leaving him in a mix of emotions. No one could tell whether he wasughing or crying.

 He looked at a loss. He never thought Yvette had Wyatt’s phone number.

 On second thought, it was not just about the phone number, but her attitude too. The way she treated the mayor was not proper.

 She wasn’t asking for a favor. Unless they were close, they wouldn’t talk like that. Thinking about this, Warron felt a shiver run down his spine.”

 Nelson tried hard to steady his trembling hands as he awkwardly set down the cup he was holding.

 The cell phone on the table was now the center of attention, with the person on the other end being the top dog in Seacrity, a big shot one would see on the evening news.

 Yvette raised her eyelids slightly, crossing her legs as shezily nced around at everyone in the meeting room.

 She spoke calmly into the phone, “The Chambers Group’s bid for the east suburb project is all set, but the city keeps dying the review process, expecting some benefits from us. Now, should I give them those benefits or not?”

 As soon as she said that, nobody in the meeting room dared to lift their heads or even breathe too loudly. This was incredibly intense. This was something that minor staff like them shouldn’t listen to.

 Yvette was amazing. She was not asking for a favor. She wasining to Wyatt that the departments below weren’t doing their jobs.

 Giving rebates like this was quite normal, but this time what they were asking for was too much, which was why the chairman hadn’t agreed, causing the project to be dyed.

 But they understood the idea of officials protecting each other. Wyatt wouldn’t change his officials just for Yvette.

 He was probably just going to pacify her with a few dismissive remarks, and that would be it. Nelson and Warron felt somewhat relieved inside.

 They initially thought Yvette was smart, but she turned out to be so foolish as to use the mayor’s team of corruption right in front of him. It was absolutely insane.

 No leader would ept something like this. And she even openly talked about it.

 The fear that held them a moment ago had mostly disappeared. They didn’t care if she knew the mayor. If she was asking for trouble, she deserved it. Now they were just waiting to enjoy the show.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.

 The meeting room waspletely silent. One could hear a pin drop. Everyone was waiting for Wyatt’s reaction, or rather, his outburst.

 Wyatt, on the other end of the phone, felt tense. He was supposed to return to Betrico for his position by the end of the year, yet he couldn’t believe there was still someone slipping through after all his efforts to tighten things up.

 These fools believed they could get benefits from the Chambers Group. He thought, ‘Do they even recognize the status of the Chambers family now?‘ They were practically future inws to the marshal, not someone these people could extort.

 And it just happened when Yvette joined the Chambers Group,nding right in her hands. Now he’d got a huge headache.

 Wyatt quickly assured, “Ms. Zeller, don’t worry. I will thoroughly investigate this matter. If anyone is found taking advantage for personal gain, I won’t let it go and will deal with it strictly.

 “I’ll personally handle the case of the east suburb, and as long as all paperwork isplete, I’ll expedite the approvals. I’ll ask my secretary to contact someone from Chambers Group soon. Is that OK, Ms. Zeller?”

 Every single word from Wyatt over the phone was crystal clear. As minutes passed, the expressions on the faces in the meeting room became more interesting.

 They couldn’t believe what they heard. Wyatt was the mayor after all.

 They thought, ‘Isn’t his attitude towards Ms. Zeller a bit too respectful? He said he’ll deal with it personally? Not letting them go? Not only did he not criticize her, but he also didn’t get angry? And his attitude is so good?‘

 He even cared about if Yvette was OK with it.

 Everyone looked at Yvette, sitting quietly at the head of the table without any expression. It made them shiver inside.

 The way Wyatt spoke made them think Yvette was the mayor. The world had gone mad. Everyone had gone mad. People were crazy.

 Nelson couldn’t hold onto his coffee cup anymore and dropped it on the floor. To cover his embarrassment, he picked it up quickly.

 Looking ufortable, he respectfully said to Yvette, “Sorry, Ms. Zeller. I couldn’t hold it steady.”

 In stark contrast to his earlier confidence, Nelson now seemed a bit flustered. He thought she was just a naive youngdy, new to the world.

 It turned out that she was someone so well–concealed, even making the mayor talk to her with such caution. Nelson wasn’t stupid.

 If the mayor was so respectful to her, Nelson shouldn’t show off here. He lowered his eyes.

 His eyes deepened with thought, and his face was full of calctions. He was pondering if his alliance with Warron was still necessary. This might lead to trouble, with unimaginable consequences.
