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

Chapter 631 The next moment, two silver needles suddenly appeared in Yvette's hands. With a swift flick, she sent them flying toward Callum and Sage, striking their acupoints with perfect precision. Frankie and the others stared in stunned disbelief at her skills, thinking, 'Since when could silver needles be used like this? Callum and Sage jerked awake, their eyes wide with terror as though they'd just had a nightmare. Yvette took two steps back, casually pulled a chair over, and sat down. Then, she leisurely rolled up her sleeves.

After Callum and Sage regained consciousness, they took a moment to process their situation. The pain from their injuries was so intense that breathing felt difficult. Slowly, they turned to look at Yvette sitting in the chair, then scanned their surroundings. Seeing the killers who had been after them lying lifeless on the ground, their eyes widened in shock. They couldn't help wondering what had happened while they were unconscious.

Sage carefully examined the wounds on the bodies scattered across the ground. Each one was a clean, fatal shot to the chest -clean and precise with no other injuries. The shooter's skills were terrifyingly precise.

Sage shot Callum a look, and when Callum followed his gaze, he was equally stunned.

While the two were still in shock, Yvette's impatient and cutting gaze fixed on them. Her voice was low and chilling as she said, "Done staring?" Callum and Sage snapped back to their senses. They looked at Yvette with heightened caution, their eyes also filling with doubt and fear. For Yvette and her group to have easily dealt with their pursuers, they were undoubtedly dangerous individuals.

Callum spoke up. "Thank you for saving us, Ms. Zeller. I'll make sure the full amount is delivered via check tomorrow." Initially, the two had planned to use Yvette as a scapegoat. As for the money, they had intended to destroy all evidence and pretend the deal never happened. However, seeing the pile of bodies around them, Callum had a change of heart. He understood that provoking someone like Yvette was not a wise move. Sage quickly nodded in agreement. However, looking at Yvette's emotionless face, a sudden thought crossed his mind. 'If we could recruit her and her subordinates to work under our faction leader, they'd be a tremendous asset.

Yvette's hand rested lazily on the armrest, her long legs crossed in a relaxed manner. She glanced at them indifferently, her voice carrying a weight of authority as she spoke calmly. "You two can leave now, but send your people to clean up this mess." Callum and Sage were caught off guard, not expecting to be released so easily. They thought Yvette would exploit their situation to make outrageous demands. They stood in place, still in disbelief that things had played out quite differently. Yvette leaned back in her chair and raised an eyebrow as she looked at them. She asked coldly, "What's the matter? You don't want to leave?" Callum and Sage quickly supported each other to their feet. Callum replied, "No, we'll be on our way! Don't worry, Ms. Zeller. My subordinates will be here soon to handle everything. We'll save you the trouble." With that said, the two men draped their arms over each other's shoulders and slowly made their way out. Despite the pain from their injuries, they kept going, fully aware Yvette might change her mind if they stayed any longer. Emmett and the others watched the two battered men stagger, their thoughts silent but unified. Was falling into Yvette's hands a blessing or a curse for the two? Callum reached the door, but as soon as his hand touched the handle, he heard Yvette's emotionless voice. "Hold on 1/3 10:01 Tue, Dec 31 Chapter 631 87% Both men froze in their tracks. After several seconds, they unwillingly turned around. Their faces were filled with vigilance, as they were unsure of what else she wanted from them.

Yvette narrowed her eyes at them, her face devoid of expression. Callum and Sage broke into a cold sweat. They felt as though they were prey being eyed by a wild beast, one that wouldn't stop until it had shredded them. They thought, 'Not again... It's that look again. Who exactly is this woman?' Yvette said leisurely, "You see, the woman leading this group escaped, and the people we killed were hard to deal with...

Callum and Sage looked at Yvette's subordinates in confusion. There wasn't a single trace of blood on them, nor were they wounded.

They grumbled internally, 'What a blatant lie! It doesn't look like they had much trouble. Does she take us for fools?' They would have found it easier to accept her excuse if there had been evidence of a struggle, but her subordinates looked perfectly fine.

Callum's suspicions were confirmed; she wasn't planning to let them go easily and had clearly been waiting for them here. He clenched his teeth but didn't dare to confront her. He asked cautiously, "What do you mean, Ms. Zeller?" Yvette looked at Callum and Sage disdainfully, as if they were fools. "After we've worked so hard to save you two, don't you think we deserve more?" Yvette spoke in a deceptively friendly tone, as if she was negotiating with them. Jeremiah, sitting in a chair nearby, watched with a subtle smile. His eyes were warm and gentle as he admired Yvette's relaxed and laid-back approach to handling the situation.

Meanwhile, Emmett, Sienna, and the others tried hard to hold back their laughter; Yvette was something else. She didn't even bother coming up with a convincing excuse to extort them, instead, she made absurd claims. Yvette had a unique way of dealing with things. Callum pondered for a moment and offered tentatively, "How about another 1.5 million dollars on top of the amount we agreed on?" Yvette didn't respond, simply staring at them menacingly.

Callum clenched his fists and tried again, asking, "2.3 million?"

Adding on the previously agreed amount of 1 million, that totaled up 3.3 million. Yet, Yvette Still said NO nothing, casually kicking one of the bodies at her feet and sending it sliding across the ground. to Yvette looked at him and cleared her throat. With a harmless expression, she asked, nonchalantly, "Hmm? What did you just say?"

Callum looked at the body that stopped in front of him, his brows furrowed in frustration. Sage leaned in and whispered, "We can'Cafford to ve offend her now, Mr. Barnes. If we don't offer this Clusian woman a satisfactory amount, she's not going to let us go." After a tense pause, Callum clenched his jaw and said, "7 million I'll give you 7 million as a token of appreciation for saving us." Yvette gave a slight nod. Her eyes were still nonchalant, but a satisfied smile tugged at her lips. "Sounds good."

Callum and Sage turned around, but just as they were about to leave, Yvette's voice cut through the air om again. "Just a minute. Phe two men NO.

were on the verge of losing their sanity. Though they were seething with anger, they didn't dare to show it, After taking deep breaths to recompose themselves, they reluctantly turned around to face her.

Sage asked, "Is there anything else, Ms. Zeller? If you have any more requests, please state them at once." It was clear that Callum-and Sage were close to a complete breakdown-both mentally and physically. Seeing this, Emmett and the others couldn't help but think, 'Yvette sure is ruthless.

Yvette looked at them with a wicked expression, malice lacing her words as she said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you the group's leader left a message for you two."
