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

Chapter 636 Jeremiah's words tore away any pretense of dignity from Savannah and her group. The history of Ybaulla's invasion of Clusia was well known around the world, yet the Ybaullan government had always denied it. Now, Jeremiah had laid it bare for everyone to see. Savannah and her group looked visibly uncomfortable, their faces clouded with frustration. Savannah never expected the man she was interested in to treat her so coldly, even demanding that she kneel and apologize. It was utterly outrageous. Used to getting whatever she wanted from men, Savannah now found herself even more determined to win over Jeremiah.

She appeared upset, but in her mind, she thought, 'Men are all the same. They act all perfect in front of their girlfriends, but who knows what they're really up to behind their backs.

Savannah refused to believe a guy like him would stay loyal to just one woman. 'No man is loyal unless he's dead, she thought.

The silence stretched on until it was broken by Thiago's cold, measured voice. He shot a defiant look at Jeremiah, his red hair practically screaming arrogance. "How could you say that to her?" Thiago snapped.

His sharp gaze shifted to Yvette. Without him realizing it, his voice softened, yet still holding an unspoken challenge. "And to this lovely lady, war is one of the ways the world progresses. How can you blus for what our ancestors did?" He continued with great conviction, "We had nothing to do with what happened. I hope you'll stop picking on Savannah. After all, she's just a girl. Asking her to kneel and apologize goes too far. Don't you think it's insulting?" Seeing that Thiago had stood up for her, Savannah seized the moment. She played the victim to the hilt, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Her voice trembling, she implored, "Sir, Miss, I've already apologized. Please don't hold this against me. It's really not a big deal. Thiago meant well, Miss. I hope you can forgive him." Yvette narrowed her eyes and watched Savannah, the corners of her mouth lifting into a faint smirk. She said nothing, just/ kept watching.

Under her gaze, Savannah's anxiety grew, and a creeping sense of unease began to settle over her. The bus jolted, and she struggled to keep her balance, her body swaying with every bump.

When Thiago spoke, he immediately drew the attention of Chris Bruce, Frankie, and even Sienna, who had just rolled up her sleeves. Simultaneously, their gazes locked onto the Ybaullans.

Sienna quietly rolled her sleeves back down. 'What is going on today? First, a pretentious bitch shows up, and now, we're stuck dealing with an idiot.' She wondered, 'What kind of weirdo would claim that war is a means of societal progress? To utter such repulsive words.... It's hardly surprising, coming from a Ybaullan.

Chris and Frankie stood up, staring menacingly at Thiago and his group. Chris uttered in a low voice, "How about we turn this into a fatal crash?" Although Frankie usually liked to joke around, his face was now serious and grim. He looked at Thiago and his group, his eyes barely concealing a murderous aura. "Before the fatal crush I'll make sure this fool gets what's coming to him." Thiago thought his words had left everyone speechless and felt smug. But the next moment, Jeremiah stepped forward swiftly and slammed Thiago's head into the ground.

Jeremiah's gaze was so intense that no one dared meet his eyes. His movements left Savannah and her group frozen in shock. "What are you doing? Stop it!" 10:02 Tue, Dec 31 Chapter 636 Yvette and the others remained calm and unbothered.

1 6 8 00, 87%- Jeremiah's terrifying presence loomed over Thiago. He spoke slowly, each word deliberate and charged with fury. "Letexplain why we hold you accountable. It's because of the countless crimes your country committed on our land, in Clusia." He continued, "On December 23, 1937, the Newcove Massacre happened. Over 300 thousand of our fellow Clusians were slaughtered. Your bioweapons division, the 731 Bacteria Warfare Unit, carried out bacteria experiments on living Clusian- using them as test subjects for gas bombs and bacteria warfare." He said incredulously, "The gas bombs they unleashed killed over 200 thousand innocent people. And let's not forget the Lumonburg Massacre, the Mount Pollerton Murder, the Zedfield Murder, and the issue of enslaved women-these are just a few of the many atrocities." At this point, Jeremiah's voice was trembling with disbelief. "And now, you dare to tellthat war is a tool for human progress?" As a Clusian military officer, Jeremiah was ingrained with a sense of duty to protect Clusia from the moment he was born into the Chavez family.

His grandfather, Jase, had fought valiantly on the front lines. His father, Clifford, had devoted his life to fortifying Clusia's diplomatic ties and securing its standing on the world stage, never permitting himself the luxury of rest.

Across three generations, the Chavez family had devoted their youth and their lives to Clusia. For them, patriotism was a core value, passed down from one generation to the next. The crimes Ybaulla had committed against Clusia were unforgivable and could never be erased.

Thiago, who had intended to continue his defiant words, was abruptly silenced. Even Savannah and her group were now trembling with fear.

Before Thiago could respond, Jeremiah viciously slammed his head back into the ground, the impact instantly drawing blood. Without hesitation, he followed with a brutal kick to Thiago's abdomen.

Thiago curled up in pain, clutching his stomach and staring at Jeremiah in disbelief. "This is Ybaulla. How dare this Clusian man attackhere?' he thought.

While most of the people remained unaware, Yvette, Bruce, and their group realized that Jeremiah hadn unleashed bis/ancient combat power with that kick. Thiago would likely becsexually dysfunctional. It was possible he would be paralyzed and bedridden for the rest of his life. Yvette took two steps forward and stood beside Jeremiah, tilting her head slightly to glance at him. Then, she looked down at Thiago with a cold gaze. Yvette's presence alone was enough to send a wave of fear and dread through him.

Her eyes were cold and unreadable as she asked, "Do you know what Ybaulla's 731 Bacteria Warfare Unit did in Clusia?" Terrified, Thiago instinctively scooted back, trying to ward off Jeremiah, afraid he might strike him again. "W- What?" he stammered.

Just the mention of the 731 Bacteria nmore Warfare Unit was enough to make Bruce, Chris, Frankie, and Sienna's faces grow even more somber. The lass of so many Clusian lives during the resistance weighed heavily on them. Women, children, and the elderly-these vulnerable groups all endured suffering in ways far more harrowing than most could ever imagine.

The haunting photographs from that tstill lingered, each one a grim reminder of the atrocities that were committed. And there were the m were waiting women still alive, who were the for an apology from Ybaulla that would never come. untless. Among the events that shocked the world the most were the The crimes committed by the Ybaullans were Newcove Massacre and the bacteria experiment conducted by the 731 Bacteria Warfare Unit, Chapter 636 Yvette's eyes were cold, and a dangerous aura radiated from her. The entire bus felt suffocating, and no one, not even Savannah and the others, dared to say a single word.
