Chapter 2143
Elijah's narrowed eyes suddenly darkened and the corners of his cold lips curled into a line. Even though it was unexpected, for some reason, he was still subconsciously biased towards his own intuition and judgment. However, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment welling up in his heart.noveldrama
"Father, I hope you won't make me look down on you even more!"
With a raise of his hand, Elijah only helped his mother up. His gaze met hers, and the two of them did not speak. Their moods were roughly the same.
Seeing the password on the bracelet, the woman smiled even more brightly. "Mr. Luther, please take me to your father's study!"
While speaking, she waved the pair of Double Dragon buckles in her hands again. "I don't think I need to use my own way to get in, right?"
The woman had a pair of clear and beautiful eyes. Even though she was old, she still gave people a warm and gentle feeling. If the scene in front of him had not been too abrupt, even Elijah could not believe that a woman with such a smile would do such a thing.
The meaning of her words was very clear. She had a backup plan!
However, she did not know what dirty tricks were used, or whether she was sure that he or his mother would agree.
Elijah raised his hand and took out a bunch of keys. "Follow me!"
There was no lack of rooms in the family. Each of them had their own private
place to work. In addition to some of his father's preferences and collection, there were also some books and old documents about the company that might be involved. For such a place, even if the person in charge was gone, they generally would not touch it.
There were two keys to the study. One was in his house, and the other was in his home. Usually, it was reserved for Antoine and his mother. When his father passed away, he said that the study was the last thought he left for him. If he remembered that one day he could go in and calm down when his father, who was under great pressure, or when he was confused by a sudden change in life, Antoine would arrange for people to go in and clean it regularly. Because there were some very old books hidden in it. Occasionally, he would go in. Although it was for many years, it should be basically the same as when his father was alive!
Was what she said in the study?
The study was never a forbidden area for him. He was sensible and often went in and out of that place when he was with his father. Although the father and son were not so close, they were not completely disconnected. How could such a big place hide some unknown mechanism?
Even if he didn't know, his mother and Antoine often went in. Especially when he just took over, many things were accompanied by his mother. His house was cleaned regularly, and the broken things inside were replaced. In order to make it easier for him to use them, he also moved to some places. There was no reason for him to hide anything!
Moreover, according to the current situation, it was worth at least 50 million US dollars. It was definitely more than a share! After all, this kind of thing had changed a lot. If his father really left such a trump card as she said, it was impossible for him to keep such an illusory share. He should leave a large number of things that could be exchanged for any era, such as the gold that the Luther family's underground treasury needed from time to time.
There was no lack of more valuable shareholders in the Luther family, but the reserve money that had never been used was real gold bars, only gold bars! No matter how the era developed, this was always the safest place. Even though there were so many goods stored, it was extremely cumbersome, it had to be said that it was more reliable than any antique that might be damaged or accidentally lost real estate. Even if the gold was liquefied, it was still gold.
On the way upstairs, Elijah was pondering over this matter. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. If there was an inside story in his family, how could he not be aware of it?
He opened the door and turned on the lights. Everyone didn't try to be polite or humble as they entered the room according to the order.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a large study, which was a combination of classical and modern auras. The first thing he saw was a gold and silver worship statue. There were fresh offerings on the desk, and it seemed that someone was still working. There were two rows of black peach-colored bookcases and antique shelves, which were full of an antique smell. There were books, jade, and copper- headed sculptures placed neatly on them. There were lamp and jade on the desk. On the other side of the desk were computer equipment, where two green plants were kept. On the other side, there were sofas and coffee tables. It could be seen that there should be a reception area behind the antique shelves. Behind the two doors, there should be a bedroom, a tea room, a toilet, and so on.
The design of the room should be similar to that of Elijah's office. It was filled with a strong fragrance of books. However, his office was more simple and modern, and the style here was somewhat mixed.
Carolien's eyes wandered around, and a painting of mountains and rivers, which occupied most of the wall, suddenly entered her sight. As soon as her sight fell, she saw Kim Mi-chi following the woman slowly.
Could it be that the secret door she mentioned was in this big painting?
Subconsciously, the corners of her eyes slanted to the side and she felt something on the ground. Elijah also looked at her and shook his head. This painting was taken down when repairing the wall!
By the way, he had studied the walls before. How could this house hide a secret door?
If it was true, it should have been blocked by the decoration workers!
There was a flash of doubt in Elijah's mind, but he saw Doreen stop in front of the painting. She raised her hand as if she was about to touch it, and there was a bright smile in the bottom of her eyes.
"He said that I am the most beautiful scenery he has ever seen in his life, and he will never forget it in his lifetime, just like this beautiful painting!"
As she muttered to herself, the elegant face of the woman revealed a pure and beautiful color for the first time.
But almost at the same time, Mrs. Luther's eyes fell on the painting, and her expression couldn't help looking a little ugly.
This painting had always been hung in the study. Elijah remembered that it had been there since he could
remember it. Even though it wasnet.
old-fashioned with a frame, it had always been an ordinary decoration for him. He had seen many study, living rooms, and even clubs have paintings like this. It was too common.
Was there any hidden meaning behind this painting?
As his eyes darkened, Elijah suddenly said,
"Mrs. Kim, aren't you thinking too much? This painting was just the suggestion of
a feng shui master! Almost the same paintings are hung in my study, company, and even my servants' houses. Do you want to say that all of us are missing you?"
He slowly walked towards the table and casually picked up the ornaments on the table. "According to what you said, I would rather believe that my father loves my mother and me deeply!"
With a casual turn of his hand, a photo of two people entered his sight. It was a beautiful woman holding a baby. Both of them were smiling, and their eyes and brows were exactly the same.
From the location where Elijah was standing, he could tell that the location of the photo was facing the desk. The person sitting on it should be able to see it when he looked up.
Instantly, Mrs. Luther's eyes lit up, and there seemed to be a faint light flashing in her eyes. She had come into the study more than once, but most of the time, after
Mr. Luther's death, she did not notice the ornaments on the table.
Was this photo frame always there?
In her room, there were a lot of
there
photos of her and her son when they were young: She was just an ordinary mother who loved her son. Later, her figure had changed a lot, so she didn't want to see what she used to be. In addition, she tried her best to lift herself up, so she put away all these prominent and weak photos. As she got bigger, she naturally didn't want to take photos. In addition, she could still make decisions when she was a child. When she was old, he also didn't like to stay in the photos. At that time, he was also in a safe situation. The older the child was, the fewer photos he would leave, so there was naturally no photo taken. In this respect, she had never thought about it!
But now, it was hard to tell whether it was due to the passage of time or her old
age, but Mrs. Luther's heart seemed to have been touched by something.
This time, it was Doreen's expression that fell.
All of a sudden, she turned around. The coldness on her face froze for a second, and then she slowly relaxed. "The more genuine the love, the less it cares about appearances! After all, it's a true marriage, and if you think it's just for show, I'd rather believe that!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the corners of Elijah's lips couldn't help but curl
up in a mocking manner. Wasn't this a double standard?
The photo might be fake. How could she be sure that the painting on the wall was
not fake too?
Therefore, after two seconds of complacency, Doreen also thought of this, and her face became paler and paler, but she didn't say anything more. After all, she
couldn't take advantage of her glib tongue, and she didn't deserve it!
But what was it?
How could the Luther family know their relationship? How could they know everything they had experienced?
She stood still and looked around. The emotions in her eyes were like flowing water, and she was clearly moved. It seemed that she was looking for something or trying to prove something. After a long time, the corners of her mouth twitched.
Sure enough, it was not much different from what he described!
He had described it to her countless times, and he had told her that he had reserved a table for her to send him supper!
She was touched in her heart. She did not notice that many study rooms were equipped with such a temporary reception area. After all, it was the study room. Two single sofas and chairs were completely normal. They were not reserved for her as she imagined.
He didn't like the way she looked at the house. It was obvious that she had never
set foot in the house, but it was as if she really had something to do with her father. He was very unhappy and urged in a cold voice.
"You've already seen the study. If there's really something that my father left for you and belongs to you, take it!"
