Chapter 429_Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

When they reached the car, Samantha immediately let go of Janice’s hand, climbed into Emmett and Charles’s car, and swiftly shut the door.

 The car started in an instant, leaving only Andrew, who looked dejected, Janice, who was struggling to hide her resentment, and Bonnie who was confused standing at the entrance to Dungo Vige.

 Andrew turned around and said weakly, “Get in the car. Let’s follow Jeremiah’s car to the airport.” Hearing this, Janice couldn’t contain her excitement.

 She had only ever seen big airnes on TV, and now she was finally leaving Dungo Vige to board one herself. She swore to herself that, no matter the cost, she would rise above her humble beginnings.

 In the end, Andrew managed to rush Bonnie and Janice to the airport just in time to meet up with Jeremiah and the others.

 As Janice took in the sight of the ne before her, her eyes sparkled. She had overheard someone mention that this was Jeremiah’s private jet.

 ‘How much must this thing have cost?‘ she thought. ‘Bonnie is ridiculously lucky to have met such wealthy people.’ Janice knew from Bonnie that Jeremiah was Yvette’s boyfriend and that the two of them had a strong rtionship.

 Though her jealousy was intense, Yvette’s earlier kick had left asting impression on Janice, one that made her too wary to even think of provoking Jeremiah.

 Instead, she set her sights on Andrew. She and Bonnie were born only a day apart, but while Bonnie was Dungo Vige’s revered guardian goddess, Janice had to carefully navigate her way around people just to survive.

 Janice resolved to win Andrew over. She was determined to climb to the top. Once on the ne, Yvette and Jeremiah settled into the backmost seats, drawing the curtains for privacy. Emmett, Charles, and Samantha took their usual seats.

 Andrew led Bonnie to sit beside them, while Janice took a seat by herself. As she settled in, Janice sat rigidly, too nervous to look around openly, though her eyes couldn’t help but dart from one luxurious detail to another.

 She had never dreamed of flying in a private jet. The luxurious life seemed to be beckoning her closer.

 Feeling a bit heady, Janice mimicked Samantha by ordering an orange juice, pretending to drink it while eavesdropping on the group’s conversation. Emmett casually flipped through a financial newspaper. The stock market had been turbulent recently, and many people had lost fortunes.

 Samantha took a sip of her orange juice and nced at Emmett’s newspaper. “So, you’ve started investingtely? The first thing you do is open the financial section.”

 Emmett gave a slight nod, setting down his paper with a casual air. “I’ve put in 70 million, just ying around to kill some time.”

 Charles looked over at him and said, “I sold off my stocks a couple of days ago. The market’s too unstable right now.” Samantha, half–joking, asked, “Made quite a profit, I bet? If you’ve got a good way to make money, why not share it with me?” Charles shot her a nce. “Could you maybe leave some opportunities for the rest of us?”

 Samanthaughed brightly, yawning and stretching her fingers nonchntly. “That’s where you don’t get it. No one thinks they have too much money except for fools.”

 Andrew chimed in, echoing Samantha’s sentiment. “Dad always old us, ‘Only a fool turns down easy money.” As their conversation grew lively, Janice suddenly chimed in. “You’re all so amazing.”

 Her face was full of admiration, hoping to get close by ttering them in her usual way. But what she didn’t realize was that this group despised such ttery, especially from someone with ulterior motives like Janice. The atmosphere immediately turned cold.

 After Janice spoke, nobody responded. Conversation ceased entirely as each person turned back to their own activity. Seeing their indifference, Janice felt a chill. She couldn’t understand why they treated her with such disdain.

 After all, Bonnie was from Dungo Vige, just like her. In Janice’s mind, she surpassed Bonnie in every way, looks, figure, and intelligence.

 Yet she had just witnessed Yvette discreetly slip Bonnie a piece of candy, and despite Yvette’s expressionless face, Janice could sense the closeness between them.

 And then Samantha, who had been cold toward Janice, had offered to order something for Bonnie. Even Charles and Emmett treated Janice and Bonnie entirely differently.

 Andrew, who had been polite to Janice earlier, was now distinctly cold toward her. ‘Is it all because of Yvette?‘ she wondered.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.

 Seeing Janice near tears, Bonnie hurried over tofort her. In truth, Bonnie wasn’t sure what to say. She understood that Yvette’s tolerance of Janice’s antics was already a small miracle.

 Bonnie looked at Janice with her usual innocent expression and asked, “Janice, is there anything else you’d like to eat?” Janice was speechless.

 Bonnie had been a foodie since they were kids. ‘Is she seriously asking me what I want to eat right now? Total blockhead, Janice thought.

 She knew that if she wanted to stay close to this group, Bonnie was her only option.

 Suppressing her irritation, Janice put on a pleasant tone and said, “I’m not hungry, Bon. Do you think everyone doesn’t like me? I know I’ve messed up.

 “I really didn’t mean to target Ms. Zeller… I was standing up for you. But it seems like she hasn’t forgiven me, and your friends don’t want me around, either.”

 Bonnie sighed. “Janice, don’t overthink it. Yvette is a really, really kind person. If she still had a grudge, she wouldn’t have let you on the ne. So don’t worry about it. I’ll go with you to apologize to Yvette when there’s a chance.”

 Janice’s head was spinning as she wondered, ‘Has Bonnie been brainwashed by Yvette? She isn’t even siding with me Resigned, Janice forced herself to nod. “Alright.”

 In the private cabin, Yvette was resting with her eyes closed when suddenly, a familiar figure leaned over her, bringing quiet, familiar scent. Jeremiah nted a gentle kiss, watching hershes tremble slightly, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

 Yvette’s sharp, defined features made her look wless, and Jeremiah’s deep gaze lingered on her, his eyes unfathomably intense. As Yvette opened her eyes, the smile in Jeremiah’s eyes deepened. A small grin spread across his face, the corners of his eyes softening withughter.

 Yvette’s fingers clenched, her voice low. “ying tricks? So childish.”

 Jeremiah nodded calmly, his gaze clear, free from any trace of mischief. “Kissing my girlfriend doesn’t count as a trick.” Yvette raised an eyebrow, giving him a sidelong smile. The brightness in her expression shone with a captivating warmth, like flowers blooming in spring. Their mingling breaths filled the air with a subtle, sweet fragrance.

 Jeremiah sighed softly, holding her hand, his voice barely a whisper. “We’ll be apart for a while again soon.”

 Propping her chin on her hand, Yvette hooked his finger with her own, her tone leisurely. “Try not to miss me too much.”

 Only Janice sat there, staring at the closed cabin door. She couldn’t see anything, but from the sound of Jeremiah’sughter, she could tell just how happy he was at that moment.

 ‘What makes Yvette worthy of his love? Just because of her pretty face?‘ she wondered.
