Chapter 412_Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

At Janice’s reaction, her expression stiffened slightly, and she avoided Bonnie’s gaze. Awkwardly, she murmured, “Bon, I’m sorry… Holden had me under surveince. I didn’t have a chance to make that call

 In truth, Janice did have a chance, but it was a call she was never going to make. Only if Bonnie married Xavian would she receive a generous dowry that would allow her to marry an elderly, wealthy man from the neighboring area.

 She’d had enough of the hard life in Dungo Vige. Marriage was her only escape to a better life.

 “Bon, even if I did get a chance to call Yvette, do you honestly think she’de all this way just to help you escape?” Janice thought Bonnie’s studies had made her naive.

 They’re just friends. Who would risk everything to travel all the way to Dungo Vige for Bon? Who would be that foolish? Impossible, Janice thought.

 Bonnie was about to speak when a cough escaped her, but she steadied herself, looking resolute as she told Janice, “Janice, if Yvette knew about my situation, she would absolutelye to rescue me.”

 Fearing that Bonnie’s excitement might worsen her condition, Janice quickly replied, “Alright, I understand.”

 The room fell quiet. Bonnie was already too weak. Her once–round face had grown gaunt over the past few days.

 Beside her, Janice looked at Bonnie with a tinge of guilt, though helplessness filled her gaze.

 Suppressing the itch in her throat, Bonnie forced herself tofort Janice. “Janice, I know it’s because of me that you’re being watched as well. I’m sorry for dragging you into this.”

 Looking at Bonnie’s frail state, Janice’s resolve wavered momentarily, but in the next second, she steadied herself.

 ‘Bon is young and doesn’t understand Xavian’s worth. Once she’s married, she’ll realize that life with him will be just like any other marriage. It doesn’t matter who one ends up with,‘ Janice wondered.

 With some effort, Bonnie reached into her pocket and pulled out a small slip of paper, her voice barely a whisper. “Janice, I have onest request.

 “After I get married, call the number on this paper. Just tell him that I’m d I knew him, and I hope he’ll have a wonderful future.”

 Hearing this, Janice’s eyes lit up with delight. “Bon, does that mean you’ve agreed to marry Xavian?”

 Bonnie nodded with a look of unshakable determination. “Yes, I’ve agreed.”

 She had mentally prepared herself for the worst. In truth, she had no intention of actually marrying Xavian.

 Janice took the slip of paper, noticing there was a photo on it. The picture was crumpled as if Bonnie had held onto it tightly for a long time.

 When Janice saw the man’s face in the photo, her eyes sparkled. What a handsome man,‘ she thought.

 Hiding her own excitement, Janice cautiously probed. “Bon, is he your boyfriend? Is he the one you’re in love with?”

 Bonnie, oblivious to Janice’s shift in tone, shook her head and answered softly. “No… he’s not my boyfriend. He’s… he’s just someone I love.”

 Janice hesitated for a moment and wondered, ‘Not her boyfriend?‘

 Carefully, she tucked the photo away. “Bon, is he a ssmate? His clothes look like designerbels, He must be right

 Romme paused, feeling Janice’s questions were a bit odd, but she nodded anyway. “His family’s from Betrico. I don’t know much about what they do, though.”

 Janice’s mood soured slightly, thinking Ronnie wasn’t being entirely honest. ‘Does Bonnie think just because I never went to school, I don’t recognize luxury brands! The man’s clothes screath money‘

 An idea suddenly shed in Janice’s mind. “Bon, I’ll leave your food here. Make sure you eat while it’s still warm.

 “I have things to take care of, including sewing your wedding dress, so just rest and wait for your big day three days from now. I’ll check in on you tomorrow.”

 She paused before adding, “And don’t worry, Bon. On your wedding day, I’ll sneak away and call that man. I’ll pass along what you wanted to say.”

 Bonnie nodded. “Thank you, Janice.”

 Janice turned around, a faint smile crossing her face, then walked out the door.

 Inside, Bonnie looked at the food on the table, mustered her remaining strength, and walked over. She sat down, her hands trembling as she picked up a fork, lifting a bite to her mouth, but the food tasted like nothing at all.

 As Bonnie continued eating, tears began to slip from her eyes, falling onto her te. ‘I was such a fool, blindly trusting her words, she thought bitterly.

 The woman had imed Bonnie’s grandmother was ill and hospitalized, which had hurried Bonnie back from Seacrity, only for Holden to trap her here and force her to marry Xavian.

 ‘A special man?‘ She scornfully thought, “This is all just Holden and Dr. Hansen’s twisted scheme to deceive the vigers… Grandma passed away long ago. Holden has been lying to me all along.’

 Just as Bonnie was crying while eating, she heard three quick taps on the window. Bonnie froze, listening intently, and then heard another soft knock.

 Setting down her fork, Bonnie tiptoed over to the window, whispering cautiously, “Who… who’s there?”

 The next moment, the window opened, and a face appeared, the very face Bonnie had dreamed of seeing.

 Bonnie stood in stunned silence, almost afraid the sight might vanish. She rubbed her eyes, wiped away her uncontroble tears, and asked in disbelief, “Yvette? Is it really you, Yvette?”

 She pinched her arm. “Ouch.” “The pain’s real. So is Yvette!‘ Bonnie wondered.

 Yvette, dressed in ck, with a cap pulled low over her eyes, stood there with a cool, steady gaze fixed on Bonnie’s gaunt face. Her voice was calm, almost icy. “Yes, it’s me.”

 Realizing it was indeed Yvette, Bonnie quickly nced around, ensuring they were alone. “Yvette, how did you get here? How did you even find this ce?”

 Yvette looked at Bonnie, her usual calm gaze unfazed by Bonnie’s chaotic excitement. “Step aside. Let me in first.”

 Bonnie immediately backed away, leaving space by the window, and stood awkwardly to one side.

 Bonnie watched as Yvette swung herself gracefully through the window,nding in the room in one smooth, agile motion.

 Before Yvette could even regain her bnce, Bonnie threw herself into her arms, hugging her tightly.

 Bonnie sobbed even harder, clinging to Yvette. “Oh, Yvette, you’re finally here! I… they were starving me, and they’re trying to make me marry a fan.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.

 “I just want to go back to school. I miss you. I miss Andrew. I don’t want to stay in Dungo Vige another second…”

 Bonnie went on and on, pouring out everything she’d been holding in, her words spilling out nonstop for nearly ten minutes. When she finally stopped, her eyes were swollen and barely open.

 Still clinging to Yvette, Bonnie looked up, her tear–streaked face a mess. She sniffled. “Did youe here alone? That’s so dangerous!”

 Yvette pointed to Bonnie’s hands, a silent signal. Realizing her mistake, Bonnie quickly let go, remembering that Yvette didn’t like people getting too close.

 Yvette surveyed the room briefly before saying in a low voice, “No, I didn’te alone. Jeremiah, Andrew, and two other friends are with me. They’re outside the vige. They haven’te in yet.”

 Bonnie’s eyes widened. “Yvette… did you say Andrew came too?

 Yvette nodded slowly, her tone deliberately casual. “Yeah. He’s been really worried about you.”

 A soft blush crept up Bonnie’s cheeks as she murmured, “I didn’t expect him to be so thoughtful.”

 Seeing Bonnie’s shy smile, Yvette smirked. Her gaze was cold but held a hint of mischief. “So, Bonnie, tell me everything. What’s going on? And what’s the deal with your marriage with Xavian?”
