Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

The Eagle King reached out, wanting to point at Jeremiah, but just as he extended his finger, Jeremiah gave him a calm, indifferent glance. His finger suddenly veered and ended up pointing at Rodney instead.

The Eagle King complained, “Boss, that little brat Rodney dared to call me ugly. I could handle being called ugly, but then he insulted my fashion sense. You know I’m at the forefront of trends, the fashion darling. This blows my pride. Boss, you have to support me.”

The Eagle King’s accusation left everyone else speechless. They thought, “The fashion darling? That’s a bold claim. Who in their right mind calls this peculiar get–up fashionable?‘

Samantha took a sip of her coffee and decided to say something in defense of the Eagle King, “Actually, Eagle King’s outfit does have an artistic flair.”

Her comment was more artistic than the Eagle King’s style. Even Emmett, Charles, and Jeremiah, who was slicing sausage, paused for a moment. Their eyes clearly showed, “Seriously? Doesn’t lying bother your conscience?”

Samantha calmily exchanged silent glances with the others. She appeared to genuinely appreciate the Eagle King’s fashion sense, which moved him deeply.

Eagle King said, “Samantha, you’ve got an eye for fashion.”

The way Eagle King said it made Samantha’s eye twitch. She thought, ‘Is it too late to take back her words?‘

Yvette looked at the slightly downcast Eagle King and calmly picked up the orange juice Jeremiah had poured for her. She lowered her eyes, relaxed her posture, and slowly smiled, speaking in a soft and gentle voice, “Your outfit is just perfect. Fashion is about standing out, and you’re the brightest star in the crowd. Don’t mind what the kid said. They’re too young to understand.”

Yvette’s words immediately lifted the Eagle King’s spirits, making him feel like he was on top of the world. It didn’t matter if a million people said he looked bad. As long as Yvette said he did, it must be true. He trusted her sense of style more than anyone else’s.

The Eagle King glanced at the people around the table, feeling proud and satisfied after Yvette’s affirmation, shaking off the earlier disappointment.

Eagle King said, “Listen to what Yvette just said. That’s what I call a real compliment. Want to know what dressing well means? What is refined taste? Look at me, folks.”

The expressions on the faces around the table were a bit difficult to describe as they looked at Yvette, sitting there with her chin resting on her hand. Emmett, Samantha, and Charles all pondered the same question, ‘Is Yvette the boss of Vibe?‘

Jeremiah turned his head, took a napkin to wipe his mouth, and said seriously, “I think your style is very tasteful as well.”

Emmett, Samantha, and Charles exchanged a look and took a sip of their coffee at the same time..Well, it seemed Jeremiah’s position changed quickly. This was a perfect example of someone going along with their partner’s views, clearly showing that he’d got a love–struck mind.

Rodney swung his little legs and sneaked a glance at Eagle King, his eyes showing a bit of inner conflict. In the end, he decided to go against his better judgment and said to Eagle King “Eagle King, Yvette was right. I suddenly think your outfit today looks great. The colors match perfectly. I was just joking before, so please don’t be mad at me.”

Rodney’s abrupt change in attitude left Eagle King speechless. It seemed he was just being used. If Yvette hadn’t praised him, Jeremiah and Rodney probably wouldn’t have complimented him at all.

He was a stepping stone for Jeremiah and Rodney, trying to win Yvette’s favor. He’d worn out. It should end here.

Eagle King chuckled with arrogance and said, “Rodney, since you can admit your mistakes and recognize your aesthetic shortcomings, I’ll be generous and forgive you this time.”

Eagle King’s skill in teasing kids was on full display. But Rodney didn’t pay him any attention. He blinked his big eyes at Yvette and said, “Yvette, how about it? My sense of style is just like yours, right?”

Emmett, Samantha, and Charles looked at Eagle King. He was a pitiful guy. One praised him because Jeremiah was eager to show his love to Yvette, and the other for trying to show his style matched Yvette’s. Hearing this, the Eagle King once again fell silent.

Rodney turned to Eagle King, intending to console him, but what came out was a shocker, “Eagle King, don’t be upset. Even though you’re not good–looking, you’re kind. Besides, no matter what, Flying Fish will never look down on you. Keep your confidence up.”

Eagle King lifted his head and gave a slight smile. Well, his confidence was completely gone.

Then, with a roar, the Eagle King made the living room floor shake. “Rodney, get over here. What do you mean by saying I’m ugly but kind?”

Seeing the situation was turning bad, Rodney thought it was now or never to escape. He said to Jeremiah beside him, “Jeremiah, cover for me. I’m going to make a run for it. Good luck, I believe you can take on Eagle King.”

Jeremiah nodded. Rodney then politely told Yvette, “Yvette, take your time eating. See you later.” With that, he turned and dashed out.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Eagle King called out, “Rodney, where do you think you’re going?”

Hearing this, Rodney sped up, moving his little legs even faster.

Eagle King got up and said to the others at the table, “Take your time eating. I have to go and teach that little brat a lesson.” With that, he stormed off after Rodney.

Yvette leisurely ate her bread without any intention of stopping the Eagle King, while Jeremiah calmly drank his coffee.

Emmett commented, “Hey, Yvette, is the Eagle King going to be okay with Rodney?” Judging by how mad Eagle King looked, he was definitely going to get a spanking today.

Jeremiah placed the sliced sausage in front of Yvette and asked softly, “Do you want an apple?”

Yvette glanced at him and nodded slightly. “Sure.”

Having finished breakfast, Jeremiah picked up a big, red apple and started peeling it. Yvette tilted her head to look at Emmett, Samantha, and Charles, smirked slightly, and said casually, “Don’t worry. Kash is outside. The Eagle King can’t catch Rodney. And even if he did, he’d have to let him go.”

While Samantha, Charles, and Emmett were still a bit doubtful, they heard the Eagle King indeed yelling in the yard.

Eagle King shouted, “Darn it, Kash, are you serious? I didn’t hit him. Did you really have to go that far?

“Hey, Kash, if you keep this up, I’m not gonna hold back.

“Seriously, you’re too ruthless, taking over all three routes. You’ve really picked up some nasty tricks from that rascal, Rodney.”

Kash’s cold voice came through, “Who are you calling a rascal?”

What followed was the sound of fists and feet clashing, mixed with Randy cheering, “Kash, quick, hit him there. Eagle King, look, there’s something strange flying over there.

“Kash, go for it. Go for it. You’re the best, give it your all!”

At the dining table, Samantha, Emmett, and Charles could hear the commotion outside and the Eagle King’s shouts, indicating just how intense the fight was. They all looked toward Yvette, who was calm and composed. Just as Yvette had said, with Kash on their side, the Eagle King stood no chance against Rodney today.

Emmett asked curiously, “Yvette, the Eagle King’s ancient combat power isn’t common. Is Kash really so strong that he can beat the Eagle King?”

Hearing Emmett’s question, Samantha also got curious. “Yeah, Yvette, the Eagle King is supposed to be really strong. So, who is actually stronger, him or Kash?”
