Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Darnell pushed open the door to the café.

The scene in front of him was shocking. He thought, ‘Geez, how much blood did Robin lose?‘

The heavy metallic smell of blood was nauseating.

Darnell also noticed Yvette in the middle enjoying her pasta. His eye twitched involuntarily.

‘Even with such a nasty smell lingering, she can still eat? She is really tough. I’m impressed. I’m totally impressed,‘ thought Darnell.

Just as Darnell opened the door, the visiting Ybaulla delegation followed right behind.

A group of brawny men, more than ten in total, arrived.

At the head was a man wearing a traditional Ybaulla suit, while the others wore black suits and sunglasses, giving off an intimidating vibe. They were clearly not here with good intentions.

As soon as Robin saw the police and Malcolm Hart, Prime Minister’s Secretary from the visiting Ybaulla delegation, he immediately felt energized.

He yelled, “Help me, Mr. Hart! This woman is crazy! This Clusian woman has a gun. She did it on purpose to ruin the exchange event. Arrest her now!”

The one handling the situation this time was Kishida’s secretary, Malcolm.

He saw Robin in a bloody mess, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife when he looked at Yvette.

Yvette sat in the chair with her legs crossed, showing no fear at all.

Malcolm was so angry he felt like killing. He had already watched the livestream on his way, so he was aware of who the culprit was.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Malcolm thought, ‘What a vicious woman. If we had arrived a little later, Robin might have died here. Isn’t she afraid of the Jenkins family or Mr. Hall?‘

A shadow of gloom passed over Malcolm’s eyes. He quickly instructed the bodyguards to assist Robin to the side for bandaging.

The bodyguards stepped up to help Robin to the side.

Malcolm turned his gaze toward Yvette, his eyes as fierce as a hungry wolf’s.

When the people in the café saw the police arrive, they all stood up to speak for Yvette.

“You clearly started it. You were the one who was rude first.”

“Yeah, we all heard it. You insulted our Clusian women first.”

“Yes, officer, I can testify. This young lady acted only because she couldn’t stand it anymore.”

“Yeah, you can’t just arrest her without reason, officer.”

The male streamer quickly turned off the stream when the police arrived. The stream was interrupted once more.

Viewers were anxious. Unable to see the live situation, they swarmed other official accounts.

Darnell waved his hand. His demeanor was calm. “Everyone, rest assured that we, the police, will ensure justice is served. There will definitely be a satisfactory resolution to this situation We ask for your patience. Now, please follow our officers and leave the café.”

Once the officers had escorted the people out, Darnell noticed Malcolm’s sour expression.

He moved forward. Instead of greeting Malcolm right away, he walked over to Yvette.

Lucy had just left as well.

She thought, ‘Considering the situation, I have to go back and prepare, just in case Ms. Zeller is indeed facing trouble.

‘FastPulse Technologies won’t just let this go. We have enough money to crush others if we need to.

‘People from Ybaulla trying to act superior in Clusia? In their dreams!‘

Darnell never thought he’d run into Jeremiah’s woman in such a scenario.

Darnell thought, ‘Mr. Chavez’s woman must be a big shot.

‘Facing Malcolm’s murderous glare, she is as calm as if she were at home.

‘Is there any other woman as brave as her?‘

Darnell politely said, “Ms. Zeller, nice to see you again. Are you okay?”

Yvette was sitting in a chair. She slightly lifted her eyes.

Her gaze landed on Darnell. She chuckled, her delicate eyebrows arched slightly.

In a relaxed manner, she said, “I’m fine. He’s the one injured.”

Those words were absolutely ruthless.

Robin was so angry upon hearing this that he fainted again after just regaining his composure.

Malcolm narrowed his eyes. Being part of the political world, he thought much more thoroughly than Robin.

Malcolm thought, “The police deployment in Clusia always involves directives from higher–ups. So, does this police officer’s attitude reflect Clusia’s top officials‘ stance? Are they trying to shield this woman?‘

Malcolm coughed into his hand as he watched the two casually chatting.

In a cold voice, he asked, “Officer, are you the one in charge of this case?”

Darnell turned around. Wearing his uniform, he stood with a serious and composed demeanor.

Looking at Malcolm, he said coldly, “Yes, I am Darnell Tucker, the deputy chief at Betrico Police Station, overseeing this case for now. As for the future, it is uncertain.”

Malcolm felt a lump in his throat, thinking, ‘Isn’t that stating the obvious? They are clearly trying to avoid the issue. Do they think I can’t tell?‘

Malcolm’s face turned livid. His tone was hostile. “Since Mr. Tucker is in charge of this case, this woman openly brandished a gun and injured Mr. Jenkins. According to Clusia’s laws, that’s a serious offense. What steps are you planning to take? Or is Clusia trying to use its power unjustly and protect the criminal? Mr. Hall said this incident is extremely serious and must be pursued thoroughly.”

Darnell let out a scornful laugh, thinking, ‘Acting tough while relying on someone else’s power?‘

Darnell glanced at Yvette before turning his eyes back to Malcolm. His eyes were sharp and bright. His confidence was undiminished.

“Mr. Hart, what’s the real story behind this? We’re not clear on what kind of crime this is supposed to be. Our laws in Clusia will determine that, not you,” said Darnell firmly.

Malcolm didn’t expect Darnell’s attitude to be so firm, and he was briefly stunned.

When he realized it, he was embarrassed and furious, his voice rising several notches.

“So, Mr. Tucker, are you going to favor this girl? If Clusia’s laws can’t deal with her, we’ll take her with us.” After Malcolm finished speaking, he waved his hand.

The bodyguards he brought stood behind him, with their hands on their chests, looking ready to draw their guns. It was obvious they were prepared for a confrontation.

Darnell’s gaze turned serious. He thought, ‘Am I really going to let these guys from Ybaulla push me around in my own territory? Then, what is my position as deputy chief of Betrico Police Station for?

‘Besides, this girl is the future granddaughter–in–law of the respected Mr. Jase Chavez and the girlfriend of Mr. Jeremiah Chavez.

‘Not a single mistake can be afforded. She has to be protected at all costs.

Darnell waved his hand. The fully armed police he brought formed a neat line, enclosing Yvette securely in the center.

Darnell said, “Ms. Zeller, with us here today, nobody can touch you. Rest assured.”

These words made Malcolm’s face turn even more unpleasant. He thought, ‘Isn’t this just announcing that they are determined to protect this girl?‘

The scene was instantly ignited with tension. It was like a ticking time bomb ready to go off.

Malcolm’s eyes narrowed. He froze. He was completely baffled.

He wondered, ‘Why will the police across from us risk a confrontation just to protect this woman? Is it worth it?‘

He certainly didn’t know that Robin had already upset the Clusians nor did he understand the unity and determination of Clusians in facing outsiders.

Yvette glanced around at the police officers surrounding her. She lowered her eyes.

She never thought she’d be protected by the police one day.

This felt quite novel. But it wasn’t too bad either.

The scene remained at a standoff.

Seeing this, Malcolm had no choice but to step aside and call Kyle to explain the situation.

Upon receiving the call, Kyle immediately instructed his team to contact Clifford, demanding that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs intervene in this matter and hand over Yvette.

Clifford was sitting on a chair when he answered the call and heard the demands.

With a sneer, he replied bluntly, “No way. There’s no chance we’ll hand over Yvette.”

He thought, ‘Of course not. I will never hand over Yvette.
