Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Cedric stood aside, bowing his head, not even daring to breathe. Why has Mr. Harper’s aura suddenly become so terrifying?”

After Robin’s body was discovered this morning, Kaiden sat on the sofa, staring fixedly at the news footage on TV, completely still, his gaze extremely terrifying. After a while, Kaiden looked up, his face showing fear and anger, his deep eyes flickering with a horrifying light. Exhausted, Kaiden rubbed his temples and asked, “Has Robin’s body been sent for an autopsy?”

Cedric immediately stepped forward and replied, “Mr. Harper, Mr. Hall has personally ordered that Robin’s body has been sent for an autopsy. The results should be out soon, and we’ll be able to determine whether Robin committed suicide or was murdered.”

Kaiden shook his head. “It’s useless. If that person did it personally, there wouldn’t be any evidence left. Even an autopsy would be a waste of effort, unnecessary.”

Cedric was momentarily puzzled, a look of confusion on his face. ‘What does Mr. Harper mean by this?‘ He continued. “Mr. Harper, however, this doesn’t seem to be a human–caused incident. The Prime Minister sent guards to watch over Robin, and they reported that Robin ran out of the hospital on his own. They say he was acting crazy when he left, looking completely abnormal. It’s very likely that he really couldn’t handle the competition results and chose to commit suicide, not a human–caused act.”

Hearing this, Kaiden’s eyes darkened, and his expression became gloomy. ‘Would someone like Robin commit suicide?‘ He found it unlikely. ‘Robin’s business with my brother makes billions every year. Even if he lost, he wouldn’t be so willing to die.‘ He knew that only an instructor had the means to kill Robin in a way that was unclear.

Kaiden waved his hand and asked in a low voice, “What about that afternoon match with Major General Jeremiah? Haven’t we found any information on him yet? What style of swordsmanship does he use?”

Cedric leaned forward. “Mr. Harper, we haven’t found anything yet, but I have a lead. Our people have been following Jeremiah’s mother, Aurora. This Jeremiah is the only son of Mr. Chavez Clifford from the Clusia Ministry of Foreign Affairs If we want to ensure victory without fail, we can target Mrs. Chavez. Should we first knock her out and hide her? Then, reveal the information to Jeremiah. Should we prioritize his mother or the match? Jeremiah will definitely save his mother first. Even if he manages to get back to the competition, his performance will be significantly weakened. By then, your victory will be a done deal, won’t it?”

Kaiden glanced at him. This method was too risky. If it failed, the consequences would be unimaginable. He needed to consider carefully.

Seeing Kaiden hesitating, Cedric quickly added in a low voice. “Mr. Harper, this was secretly ordered by Mr. Hall. In the fencing competition, we can only afford to win, not lose. He is willing to use any means to win. Moreover, if we lose, as you know, your father won’t be able to explain it. So you need to decide quickly!” Cedric was persuasive. He immediately added. “Besides, we’re not going to kill Aurora. We’ll just use some tactics to hide her. Once the match starts, we’ll release her immediately. Nothing will happen. As long as you agree, our people will act right away!”

Kaiden knew Kyle was desperate. He couldn’t allow any mistakes in this match; Ybaulla’s reputation couldn’t be tarnished a second time. Kaiden lit a cigar, lowered his head, his eyes cold and ruthless. “Alright, we’ll do it your way, but you must ensure Aurora’s safety. If something happens to her, none of us will survive. This is Clusia. We’re dealing with Mrs. Chavez of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If something goes wrong, Mr. Hall won’t be able to protect us either. Understood?” Cedric immediately nodded upon hearing his agreement. Rest assured, Mr. Harper, we will make sure Aurora is safe. Our goal is simply to ensure you win this match.”

Kaiden gave a slight nod. “Go ahead, I need to rest for a while and prepare for this afternoon’s match.” After saying that, he closed his eyes, clearly not wanting to say anything more. After the door closed, Kaiden suddenly opened his eyes wide. ‘Kyle’s influence is far–reaching; the people around me must have been bought off. Cedric is finished, like a ticking time bomb, unusable now. Luckily, ver considered him a close ally

At 1 PM, the Chavez family–Aurora and Clifford–finished their Clusian meal and planned to head to the competition venue. On the way, Clifford took a work call and left first, specifically instructing his driver to pick up Aurora and take her to the venue. Aurora had put on another “elegant” haute couture outfit, this time a simple and graceful white dress, very elegant.

In the car, while Aurora was touching up her makeup, the car suddenly stopped.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

The male driver glanced at the road ahead and then turned to Aurora, saying, “Mrs. Chavez, it looks like there’s been accident up ahead. Two people are arguing, and it might take a while. This road is a bit off the main city area, but it’s the fastest way to the scene. Do we wait a bit or take a detour? Taking a detour now would add about forty minutes. How should we proceed?”

Aurora put down her compact mirror and looked ahead. There were indeed two people arguing, and two cars were blocking the center of the road. ‘But if we detour now, we might be late. In such an important occasion, being late isn’t good and could lead to negative media coverage.‘ After thinking for a moment, Aurora said, “Max, go down and take a look. See if you can move the cars to let us first.”

The driver, Max, replied, “Alright, Mrs. Chavez, but there’s not much traffic or people here right now. Just in case, please don’t get out of the car. I’ll go check it out first.” Max had also retired from the military, so he had a strong sense of security. Aurora’s status couldn’t afford any mistakes.

After Max got out, he approached the scene. The two arguing men saw him coming and made eye contact, escalating the argument. They started pushing and shoving each other even more aggressively.

Eastern Hotel, the competition venue, was still set up here, right next to the hall where the chess match took place yesterday.

In the lobby, media from various countries had arrived early today. Yesterday, they witnessed a miracle by a Clusian girl, and today, who knows what surprises await.

Netizens were also ready early online, waiting for the 4 PM match.

[There’s only half an hour left until four o’clock. Oh my gosh, I’m so excited!]

[You’re not the only one excited. I was so excited yesterday that I didn’t sleep all night. Yesterday’s chess match, the goddess really brought honor to us Clusians.]

[I dreamed about the goddess saying those four words all night, World Champion‘? Don’t you think that’s just amazing?]

[Upstairs, where are the other world champions? Didn’t you see this morning’s news? The person who jumped was preliminarily identified as Robin, right?]

[It’s not surprising if it’s him. With such fragile mental resilience. I believe he could do something like jumping off.]

[I think so too…]

In the competition hall, Kaiden was dressed in a special fencing uniform, wearing a homemade helmet, sitting on a chair without saying a word. Suddenly, Cedric walked in from the door.
