Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez Novel by Selina Gorges

A group of girls, all wearing student council uniforms, marched assertively toward Yvette and her friends.

The leader was a girl with short, ear-length hair. Her face looked like it had gone through several cosmetic procedures, and in the sunlight, one could almost see the translucent prosthetic in her nose.

Bonnie quickly turned around and tugged at Yvette’s sleeve, her voice so soft it was barely louder than a whisper. “Yve. they’re from the student council. The one leading them is Ruby Scott, our student council president.”

Yvette responded with a casual hum…

Bonnie grew flustered, thinking. The student council seems to mean trouble!”

She said. “Yve, Ruby used to be Ethan’s girlfriend. After they broke up, she swore she’d win him back. Everyone at school is wary of her. The student council is a tight-knit group, and they’re not easy to handle.”

Yvette stayed indifferent, speaking with an air of nonchalance. “What does that have to do with me?”

Bonnie and John were already used to Yvette’s calm demeanor. Besides, even if the student council meant trouble, it was hard to say who would come out on top. John recalled Ethan, down on his knees, begging for mercy. Yvette’s strength was not something to be underestimated.

Bonnie forced a smile, though it looked more like a grimace. “Hello, Ruby, Hello, everyone.”

John chimed in with a greeting as well.

Ruby didn’t even spare them a glance. She was there for one reason to ca

cause trouble for Yvette.

Earlier that morning, Ruby had learned from her parents that Daniel had gotten into trouble and was detained, while Ethan was preparing to go abroad. She tried contacting Ethan immediately, but he wouldn’t answer. Desperate, she called Ethan’s grandfather using a number she had memorized in secret back when they were dating. She was told that Ethan would be flying out of Seacrity the next morning and that she shouldn’t try to contact him again.

Ruby spent the entire morning crying at home, her eyes swollen from the tears. She genuinely liked Ethan-not because he was the deputy mayor’s son or for his money, but for who he was. They had a big fight and broke up after she found our Ethan had been cheating on her with a young model. Then, she regretted it and wanted to reconcile, but Ethan had never given her the time of day since.

Ruby had watched the girls around Ethan come and go, but she never gave up hope. She believed that even if Ethan wasn’t ready to get back together, if she kept trying, she’d eventually win him back. But before she could convince him, she found out he was planning to go abroad.

Frustrated and with no outlet to vent her anger, she ran into Winona from the student council.

Winona started singing Yvette’s praises. Yvette had been the talk of the school, making waves wherever she went. This only furled Ruby’s curiosity. She wanted to know what was so special about this girl. Yvette had been at Argrol University for less than two weeks, and it already felt like the place had become her territory.

“Are you Yvette?” Ruby asked, leading a group of girls toward the trio and repeating the question with a tone full of sarcasm and arrogance.

Yvette raised an eyebrow, remaining as calm as ever, her gaze steady and relaxed. “Let’s go!”

Under the intense stares of the other group, Bonnie gave a stiff rod and was about to leave with Yvette.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Ruby had no intention of letting Yvette leave so easily. With just a glance at the girls beside her, they immediately understood and quickly surrounded Yvette, Bonnie, and John.

Chapter 68

Then, Ruby strutted toward them, arrogant and full of attitude. Yvette, a senior is asking you a question. Isn’t it a bit rude not to respond?”

Yvette turned around calmly, her tone composed. “Who are you?”

Ruby stuttered, her anger flaring even more. She believed Yvette was pretending not to know her as a way of humiliating

her.

However, Bonnie and John knew that Yvette genuinely didn’t recognize Ruby. Yvette wasn’t the type to lie-she truly had no idea who Ruby was

“Yvette, you’re quite the actress. No wonder you’ve stirred up so much trouble since you got here. Now it all makes sense. Haha!” Ruby sneered

“Ruby is the student council president, and you say you don’t know her? Stop pretending already!” one of Ruby’s friends

said.

That’s right. What’s with the act?” another added.

“You need to apologize to Ruby right away, another exclaimed,

The girls trailing behind Ruby chimed in endlessly, demanding that Yvette apologize to Ruby. Meanwhile, Ruby stood there, arms crossed, waiting for Yvette’s apology.

John couldn’t take it anymore. Under Ruby’s leadership, the student council had become nothing but a mess. Students had complained to the dean, but Patrick always brushed it off, saying Ruby was an excellent student who just needed time to improve. Nothing ever came of it.

“Ruby, if there’s nothing else, we’re leaving now. The teacher is waiting for Yvette’s assignment, so please excuse us. John said firmly.

As soon as John said that, Ruby had a different expression, thinking, ‘Such a sly fox, even John is standing up for her. Ruby often saw John in the teacher’s office and knew he was the favorite student of Tobias Sunderland, the physics teacher Although she wanted to give Yvette a hard time, Ruby wasn’t foolish enough to let the teachers find out.

‘Hmph, I won’t do anything to Yvette today. I have plenty of ways to handle her. There’s no need to rush, Ruby thought. Today, she had come for a different reason.

Yvette remained unfazed by Ruby’s provocation, and Ruby wasn’t bold enough to make a move at school. Though she felt like she was about to explode inside, she kept up the appearance of being generous,

“It’s fine. If Yvette doesn’t want to apologize, I won’t force her. I’m actually here for a different reason today. I’d like to invite you to participate in the school’s Art Festival. As students, it’s our duty to support the event. The physics department has four spots, and aside from the ones reserved for Ryan and a few others, there’s one more open. I think you’d be perfect for in Yvette. I’m personally inviting you. Surely, you won’t turn down the opportunity?” Ruby was brimming with confidence. She didn’t believe that Yvette would turn her down in front of everyone.

However, in the next moment, Yvette lowered her gaze and turned slightly to the side, her voice cold. I’m not interested

Ruby’s face darkened, and the girls around her fell silent when they noticed her change in expression. “Yvette, don’t push your luck. I’m not asking for your opinion-I’m informing you. Argrol University has a rule that allows the student council to assign one spot to any student. Ruby was trying to use the campus rules to force Yvette to comply.

Bonnie stepped forward and whispered in Yvette’s ear. “Yve, what Ruby said is true. This rule was put in place by the student council a long time ago and has been used ever since. It’s meant u give talented students a chance to shine, and while it’s mandatory on paper, both sides generally reach a consensus. Ruby’s definitely pushing it by trying to force you to participate in the festival.”

Chapter 68

Ruby looked smug. The rule was legitimate, so she wasn’t concerned about getting into trouble. If anyone questioned her. she’d simply insist that she chose Yvette because she believed Yvette was talented, leaving no room for criticism. On the other hand, if Yvette refused. Ruby wouldn’t hesitate to spread the word that the so-called celestial being was nothing more than a shallow figure. By then, people would hesitate to support Yvette.

A sly smile crossed Yvette’s face, a blend of both charm and mischief. Her lips parted slightly as she said, “All right, I’ll join.”
