Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez
Secrets Of Mr S 398

Chapter 398

Dex screamed, his voice painfully piercing to the ears. The others on the rooftop were shocked, but no one dared to say a word. The situation was clear: if Yvette couldn't hold on and let go, Dex would be finished. Yvette looked down at Dex, the wind making her hair flutter. Her stunningly beautiful face turned even colder in this situation. She asked calmly, "Do you want to die?"

Dex shook his head and said, "Ms. Zeller, I was wrong. I didn't want to die; I just didn't want to get fired. I won't dare do that again. Please, pull me up. I was really wrong. He was crying his heart out, looking incredibly pitiful. Yvette paused momentarily, her eyes fixed on the terrified Dex. She said nothing.

Lucas didn't know why Yvette was treating Dex this way. He thought, 'With everyone watching, what would happen if something went wrong?' He stepped forward to plead on behalf of Dex.

He said, "Ms. Zeller, please pull Dex up first so we can discuss things calmly."

Zoe was anxious, too. Nelson and Warron wanted to watch the drama, but if Dex's death affected the Chambers Group's stock price, it would ultimately hurt them. So they pretended to join the group, trying to persuade Yvette. They chatted away, making the once quiet rooftop very noisy. Yvette glanced at the terrified Dex and smirked. To everyone's shock, she pulled Dex with one hand and tossed him back onto the rooftop.

Dex, thrown to the ground, felt like his insides were about to shatter. He had been so scared earlier that when he was tossed back up, he lost control and ended up wetting himself right there in front of everyone. Before the people could even react, the sharp smell of urine hit them. They covered their noses in disgust and stepped back. They thought, 'Dex, a grown man, was so scared that he actually wet himself. Yvette turned around. She slowly took off her gloves and tossed them aside.

Dex couldn't even bring himself to care about the embarrassing accident. He looked at Yvette, trembling in fear. It was easy to imagine how much this scene affected him.

Dex said quietly, "Ms. Zeller, I... I wasn't thinking straight for a moment. Why are you firing me? I've never made any major mistakes at work, and I have a sick daughter in the hospital... my wife is also leaving me because of this." Hearing this, everyone started to feel sorry for Dex again. Putting everything else aside, having a daughter in the hospital was pitiful. The people on the rooftop turned their eyes to Yvette, wondering what she would say. They thought, 'Did Ms. Zeller dismiss Dex without any reason? If so, that's really too much.

Lucas and Zoe stood behind Yvette.

Yvette's eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze getting sharper as she smiled. She said softly, "A sick daughter? Is it the one born by the woman in the villa at 152 Evergreen Road?

"Or the one in your wife's hometown hospital, where you've been replaceing all sorts of ways to avoid donating marrow for her leukemia treatment?

"Your wife is leaving you? Is it the one who stood by you from having nothing to having it all, only to be kicked out by you, with no choice but to return to her parents with your sick daughter?

"You are hardworking and dedicated, and you have never made a major mistake? What about five years ago during the West District project when you used your position to embezzle 660 thousand dollars? "You used the money to buy an apartment for your mistress while your wife was running around trying to treat your

daughter's illness, even having to sell blood."

With each sentence Yvette spoke, the expressions of those present grew more displeased. They thought Dex was a good father. It turned out it was all just a facade.

They thought, If what Ms. Zeller says is true, then Dex is worse than a beast. He neglected his daughter yet embezzled money to buy houses and cars for his mistress. Earlier, people who supported Dex were now turning against him.

One said, "Dex, you're just trash. How could you do something like this? You seemed like a good person, but now I see how disgusting you are. I can't believe I was ready to plead for you just now." Another person said, "He fooled me too. lle always talked about how sweet his daughter was and how beautiful and understanding his wife was, but it turns out he was talking about his mistress and her child. "What a shameless man! Now that I think about it, it makes me want to puke. Gross!"

Someone said, "Ms. Zeller said he used the embezzled money to buy a house for his mistress instead of treating his daughter.

"What a weirdo and a scumbag. What kind of father does that? He's a monster. Why didn't he just fall and die earlier?"

Another one said, "Honestly, I thought the same thing when I heard Ms. Zeller. Why didn't he just fall to his death?"

Dex's ears were buzzing. Hearing all this made his head feel like it was about to explode, but he couldn't even come up with arebuttal. The crowd's spittle was almost drowning him

Lucas knew Yvette wouldn't dismiss an innocent person just like that. It turned out she was right; Dex did such a filthy thing 'What a beast!' he thought.

Everyone looked angrily at Dex on the ground, eager to kick him. Even Nelson and Warron were surprised that the person they had so much trouble replaceing had such secrets. They realized Dex, their pawn, was useless now. They thought, 'What a worthless guy. He had embezzled 660 thousand dollars. That's an economic crime. He'll probably spend the rest of his life in jail.'

At this moment, Dex's face was as pale as a ghost, almost bluish. He didn't dare to look up at the people around him and just kept his head down.

He thought, 'How did Ms. Zeller replace out about these old secrets? Everything's over now. If my embezzlement is investigated, I'll be spending at least ten years in jail.'

Even when Dex's secret came out, he didn't feel guilty towards his wife and child. All he thought about was how he and the unborn son with his mistress were going to live.

Dex stumbled and cried out with tears streaming down, "Ms. Zeller, I had no choice. Back home, the elders only care about having a boy to carry on the family name. Girls are just supposed to marry off.

"I was out of my mind. I truly know I was wrong. Please, let me go this once. I promise to turn over a new leaf and become a better person."

Dex's current woman was pregnant again, and it was confirmed to be a boy. So everything he said was to make Yvette forgive him, and none of it was sincere.

Dex's words only made everyone there even angrier. They thought, 'What age are we in? Do these outdated, sexist beliefs still exist? It's harmful and archaic. Yvette's expression remained indifferent as she watched Dex try to justify himself, showing no emotion.
