novelxo Chapter 2
Let’s go,” said Yvette, snapping Lucas and Tina back into reality!
Yvette looked just like Lilian Zeller, the first wife of Zachary, the current head of the Chambers family, Lucas thought in shock. No wonder Mr. Zachary Chambers recognized Yvette right away. They are practically identical. No, Yvette is even more sinking”
An idea sparked in Lucas mind. He had been with Zachary since childhood and knew how obsessed he had been with the mysterious Lilian-he was willing to give up the Chambers family for her. If Lilian hadn’t run away while pregnant, the cument “Mrs. Chambers’ wouldn’t be Nellie
With her looks, it’s hard to tell what Mr. Zachary Chambers’ attitude toward her is. But one thing is clear-I cannot offend her now. Lucas set aside his disdain and stepped forward, bowing respectfully. “Ms. Zeller, you are a Chambers by birth. Your mother left in frustration after a disagreement with Mr. Zachary Chambers, Recently, Mr. Zachary Chambers received news about you and sent me here to bring you home.”
With that, he slowly lowered his head under Yvette’s gaze. She appeared cool and composed, but there was more pressure coming from her than any elite girl he had ever met. For some reason, he felt uneasy, and soon beads of sweat began to form on his back.
Most girls would probably be thrilled at the idea of leaving a village to become the daughter of a wealthy family in Seacrity. Yet Yvette was way too calm. Lacas couldn’t help but feel something oil.
I must have been out of my mind to think she’s a fairy. She’s just a country girl trying to take the place of Ms. Winona Chambers, Tina thought. But as she saw Lucas shift to a more respectful tone, she reluctantly followed Yvette’s lead, her expression full of disdain.
Yvette observed their reactions, her indifference growing sharper. She turned, grabbed her black backpack, and walked out
without a word.
Lucas was confused by Yvette’s silence, wondering. Has she already known we are coming for her? But only a few people in the Chambers family are aware of this. How could the news reach such a remote place? But looking at her demeanor, it’s clear she knows something. He hesitated, daring not to say anything more.
However, Tina took Yvette’s silence as nothing more than a facade. Unable to contain herself, she said, “You must be so happy about that news that you can’t wait to leave, right, Ms. Zeller? I mean, this place is just unbearable.”
Lucas wanted to interrupt her but held back, feeling not bad to have Tina as a pawn. But Ms. Winona Chambers maid is too clueless, he thought.
Yvette shot a cold glance at the silent Lucas and then turned to the hostile Tina. Hmph, even some random nobody dared to speak to me like this?’
SHI up.
You’re annoying.” Yvette said, not even bothering to look at them again, as if they were invisible.
Tina’s face turned crimson with anger. Just as she was about to retort, Lacas shot her a fierce glare and told her to be quiet. Every servant at the Chambers residence knew Winona favored her and usually treated her with respect. It had been a long time since anyone had embarrassed her like this. She didn’t dare voice her frustration to Lucas, and all her resentment fell on Yvette instead.
To give them a lesson, Yvette deliberately chose the toughest path down. For her, trekking a mountain trail for an hour was nothing but just workout. But for Tina and Lucas who were from the town, it would be a different story.
When the three finally reached the foot of the mountain, their appearances were strikingly different-Yvette looked carefree, while the others were a mess, their clothes covered in grass debris and scratches, far from the pristine attire they had started with,
Lucas understood that Yvette was punishing them. While he fell a surge of indignation, he straightened himself up and stepped forward. “Ms. Zeller, the car is over there.”
Seeing Yvette still wearing an indifferent expression and not wanting to engage with him, he continued, “Tina has offended you, and according to family rules, she should be punished. But since she’s Ms. Winona Chambers’ personal maid, I can’t make that call. How about I report this to Mr. Zachary Chambers when we get back?”
“Quite the scheming butler. No wonder he No wonder he has served Zachary for so long. Yvette thought with amusement. If she made a big deal out of it, she’d look petty, and word would spread, putting her reputation at risk. But if she let it go, she might end up getting walked all over by the Chambers family-and even everyone in Seacrity.
“What a tough spot! Yvette gave Lucas a half-smile, causing his heart to skip a
