Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez



Chapter 718 Chapter 718

With her chin still in Yvette's grip, Suri glared at Yvette and spoke incoherently. "I'm calling the police. Just you wait! Let kae go now! This is Betrico- you can't get away with assault. I'm a student at Betrico University's physics department."

At that, Yvette lowered her eyes. After seconds of silence, she released her grip unhurriedly and thoroughly cleaned her hand with a handkerchief. She gave Suri a faint smile, and her eyes glinted with mischief as she drawled, "A student at Betrico University's physics department?"

Thinking Yvette was intimidated, Suri quickly flaunted her status. In a place like Betrico, being a student at Betrico University boosted her ego greatly. Sari stood up shakily and glared at Yvette with undisguised hatred. "That's right. I'm a junior in the physics department of Betrico University, and my mentor is Marcus Decker-Clusia's world-renowned physicist!"

Suri's declaration caused an immediate stir among those in line. They all turned to stare at her, not expecting her to be studying under Clusia's most famous physicist.

It was an impressive feat as she could even be the next rising star of the physics community. This newfound prestige changed how they regarded her.

Suri basked in their admiring gazes. Despite her swollen face, she held her head high and thought, 'As the top student in Betrico University's physics department, I'm superior to her apart from looks.novelbin

Meanwhile, Wendy was stunned by the handkerchief Yvette had pulled out. If she wasn't mistaken, it was Skye Group's limited edition tenth– anniversary product-only three pieces were available in the market.

Each handkerchief featured Saspiuburg's two-faced embroidery, hand-crafted by the area's most famous 80-year-old embroiderer. As of then, they sold for over 300 thousand dollars each, making them the world's most expensive handkerchiefs.

Those three handkerchiefs weren't just expensive-they were collector's items.

Even Wendy, who had grown up with luxury goods, was taken aback by Yvette's extravagant act of using the handkerchief to wipe her hands.

Most people would keep such a handkerchief in a safe or display case. They'd never use it so carelessly.

'Besides, I'm certain it's genuine because the unique code and Skye Group's logo can't be faked. She's not just some pretty lady-she's dripping with wealth,' Wendy thought.

Yvette stood still. With her downcast eyes narrowed, she asked coolly, "Your mentor is Marcus?"

Suri couldn't hide the smugness in her heart. "Yes. My mentor is Marcus, Clusia's famous physicist. He'll stand up for me, so don't even think about running."

Yvette suddenly quirked her lips into a half-smile, showing not a hint of fear. She then shrugged as if telling Suri she was free to do whatever she wanted.

At that sight, Wendy rushed to Yvette's side. Scratching her head awkwardly, she said, "You should leave now, miss. I'll handle this. It's my fault you got involved in this mess.

“I'm also Mr. Decker's student, so he won't just listen to Suri's side. Even if I'm brought to the police station, my uncle can get me out." 13:58 Tue, 7 Jan

Yvette looked down at Wendy, her rebellious aura tinged with a hint of coldness. With an eyebrow raised, she spoke lazily, "I was the one who slapped her. This has nothing to do with you"

Wendy grew anxious. Though Yvette was clearly wealthy, in Betrico, power mattered more than money. Money alone wouldn't help in certain situations, and a police station visit seemed inevitable today.

Yvette's gaze landed on Wendy's face, then at the hint of anxiety in Wendy's eyes. After a few seconds, she added, "Don't worry, I'm a frequent visitor to police stations. They're quite nice"

Yvette's casual comment drew strange looks from everyone around, 'What does she mean by police stations being "nice"? She must be kidding. Who would actually enjoy going there?' they thought.

hinking that Yvette was just trying to comfort her, Wendy gritted her teeth and formed a plan in her mind. She then quietly stepped aside and texted her uncle, who replied to her within seconds.

After reading the text, she finally relaxed as she reckoned Yvette would be fine with her uncle's help.

Suri disdained Yvette even further upon hearing Yvette's remark. Anyone who spoke like that was either crazy or a repeat offender.

Afraid of being slapped by Yvette again, Suri pulled out her phone and dialed 911 with trembling hands while eyeing Yvette. When the call finally went through, she explained her situation at a fast pace. "Officer! I'm at Sano Milkshake Shop near Betrico University. Someone assaulted me-please hurry! I'm afraid she might kill me!"

Her tone was ridiculously dramatic, making the situation sound far worse than reality.

After hanging up, she faced Yvette with renewed confidence. "Stay right here if you dare. The police are on their way." Just then, Nicholas, Sano Milkshake Shop's manager, stepped out of the shop. He'd heard about the incident from his staff and the police report. As a manager, he needed to address any conflicts happening outside Sano Milkshake Shop.

Nicholas first noticed Yvette-her beauty was impossible to ignore-before turning to Suri, whose cheeks were swollen. He smiled diplomatically and said, "Ladies, since the police have been called, we will be sure to be cooperative once they arrive. "Perhaps you two could step aside for now? The quota of fifty cups has been reached for today. We're truly sorry inconvenience caused."

for any

Suri knew the milkshake shop had powerful connections. She'd once seen Betrico University's president spend considerable time in the shop during closing hours, suggesting that the president had a close relationship with the milkshake shop's

owner.

With that, Suri quickly forced a smile and replied to Nicholas politely, "There's no need for apologies, sir. I called the police as I just wanted justice, so I wouldn't disturb Sano Milkshake Shop's business. I'll move right away."

She then stepped aside, maintaining an overly courteous attitude.
