Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges novel Chapter 501

Chapter 501 

The banquet proceeded smoothly, with all the guests busy socializing–except in the area where Yvette and Braydon were seated, which was empty. Joe, who had recently taken a liking to a new model, left the booth to flirt. 

As for Sienna, she thought that the area around the sofa was cold enough without the air conditioning. After exchanging a few words with Yvette, she headed backstage at the banquet… If she stayed any longer, the chilly aura from Yvette and Braydon was going to freeze her. 

Yvette sat cross–legged on the couch, at ease and relaxed. Her simple and casual sportswear made her the only woman at the banquet not dressed in gowns and high fashion. She was sipping orange juice, completely out of place. 

Braydon watched her intently. Before they realized it, half of the banquet had already passed. 

The highlight of the party was about to start–that moment when Ms. Winslow, the godmother of the fashion world, personally presented trophies to the top three winners of the fashion competition. The winners‘ names were already announced yesterday on the World Fashion Competition’s official website, according to the contest rules. 

Unlike some competitions that create mystery to gain attention during live announcements, this world–class fashion competition was known for its transparency. The designs from both participants and winners had been posted on the website for everyone to admire. 

That was why the World Fashion Competition is recognized as the most authoritative and valuable event in the fashion industry, with Ms. Winslow judging alongside a panel of twenty respected editors and designers. 

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the crowd as everyone turned to see Hazel walking in from the entrance. As the acknowledged godmother of fashion, Hazel’s status was unassailable. 

In her sixties, she wore a simple, elegant black dress, her hair neatly styled, with a pearl necklace adorning her graceful neck. Every movement exuded elegance. Hazel embodied the saying, “Age never diminishes beauty.” 

Even at sixty, she could still be an elegant and charming lady. Hazel gracefully greeted each guest, her eyes discreetly scanning the venue. 

With so many people around her, Hazel didn’t notice Yvette sitting on the couch in the corner. Hazel felt a slight sense of disappointment. She thought, ‘Didn’t Sienna say that Yvette would attend the awards ceremony in person? Why isn’t she here yet?‘ 

Sienna came out from backstage and saw Hazel surrounded by people greeting her. She lifted her dress slightly and made her way over. As soon as the guests noticed Sienna coming, they immediately stepped aside for her. 

This was Mr. Winslow’s prized student and the lead designer for this year’s world fashion competition winner, “Vibe.” However, the award–winning design wasn’t created by Sienna but by the elusive genius behind Vibe, who once amazed the fashion industry with the “Blossom” series. 

Since “Vibe” was founded, this mysterious owner had never appeared in the fashion world, with each new collection being presented by Sienna. The winning “Nameless” series from this competition was considered the best design in recent years, and no one questioned its first–place status. 

Sienna walked over to Hazel and whispered in her ear, “Ms. Winslow, Yvette has arrived. She subtly motioned towards where Yvette was sitting. 

Hazel looked past the crowd and finally saw Yvette sitting on the couch in the corner. Her eyes brightened with relief. She thought, Finally, the girl is willing to show up 

Hazel nodded at the people around her, then walked towards Yvette, with Sienna following closely behind. As everyone saw which way Hazel was going, they started whispering again.

“OMG, why is Ms. Winslow going over there? Is it because of that girl from before?” 

“Maybe Ms. Winslow knows that girl. She’s worth billions and owns three mines.”

party “No way, Ms. Winslow really dislikes people who break the rules. Even if this girl owns a mine, she came to the wearing a formal dress. Even if designer Sienna brought her in, Ms. Winslow probably won’t show her any respect.”

“If this girl upsets Ms. Winslow, she can forget about making it in the fashion world. I bet designer Sienna will suffer too. 

“No matter how rich that girl is, if she breaks Ms. Winslow’s rules, Ms. Winslow won’t be friendly to her.” 

“Did you guys forget? This girl is under Braydon’s protection.” 

That comment finally silenced the whispers. Everyone present was eager to witness Yvette’s blunder and the subsequent scolding from Hazel. 

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Hazel walked over to Yvette. She observed Yvette casually drinking her orange juice and smiled warmly, her voice not sounding aged at all. “Dear Yvette, it’s been so many years, and you’re still as beautiful as ever.” 

Hazel opened with such a dazzling compliment that it stunned everyone around. Even Braydon, sitting nearby, slightly paused at Hazel’s approach. 

Hazel didn’t know her, but she was a renowned figure in Mysonna’s high society. She had Yoris heritage, and was secretly a princess from the Mysonna count’s family, a fact known by few. 

His grandfather had once mentioned that Hazel had refused the former president’s romantic pursuit in her youth. Rumor had it that this strong–willed woman was not usually this kind! 

Yvette knew Hazel? And her warm demeanor was thought–provoking. Everyone there was clearly shocked and stood still. Yvette lifted her eyes to Hazel, smiled slightly, and said slowly, “Yeah, I think so too.” 

Sienna, standing behind, twitched her lips. She thought, ‘Only someone like Yvette could get away with saying something like that–if it were anyone else, people would feel an uncontrollable urge to punch them.‘ 

She thought, ‘Speaking so openly in front of Ms. Winslow, Yvette would definitely be the first, and quite possibly the only
