Chapter 804


    Maxwell and Phoebe’s room piqued her interest, and she was curious to know what sort of room her


    despicable father and ‘best friend’ to her mother stayed in.


    “Here’s my parents’ room! My father loves reading about history, so every piece of furniture in the room


    is a genuine antique. They’re more expensive than the antiques we see in museums!”


    Corinne eyed the room and saw that it had a very tranquil and elegant atmosphere. Every piece of


    furniture was an antique made of high-quality timber.


    Anya did not brag too much, but it was clear from her words that she was showing off.


    She was not very interested in the antique furniture, and what attracted her attention was therge


    built-in bookshelf on the west wall of the room. The huge bookshelf was filled with books.


    ‘Who reads these? Is it Maxwell or Phoebe?’


    Corinne asked Anya politely, “May I go over there and read those books?”


    Anya rejoiced as something finally made Corinne envious. She said to Corinne magnanimously, “Sure!


    But you have to be careful not to damage them. Many of them are priceless copies that my father


    collected, and you won’t be able to rece them if they’re damaged!”


    She barely stopped herself from saying that Corinne would not be able to pay for the damage.


    “Understood. I’ll make sure to be careful with them.” Corinne nodded, ignored Anya’s attitude, and


    walked over to peruse some of the books on the big bookshelf. She picked one at random and flipped


    through it. She then ced it back and took a different book.


    The books were all exceptionally well-written, rather than vapid literature that was bought to fill the


    shelves and make one seem well-read.


    Maxwell seemed to love reading a lot, much like many historical figures who were erudite but had


    rather despicable characters.


    Corinne smirked as she flipped to the next page. The old photo that she saw by ident left her


    stupefied for a moment.


    It was a family portrait, the same one that she saw on Lucas’ desk in Rivera Group.


    Inside the photo was Maxwell, Corinne’s mother, Lucas, and a chubby little girl with a cherry- red mole


    between her eyebrows. The girl was held in her mother’s arms, and Corinne knew that was her.


    If that photo was ced there instead of being disyed in the open, it was probably because he did


    not want to let anyone see it.


    Although the photo in this book was the same as the one on Lucas’s desk, there was one big


    difference–the photo inside the book depicted a family of four, while the photo Lucas ced on his


    desk had only three people.


    He intentionally cropped Maxwell out. It was a sign that the rtionship between Maxwell and Lucas


    was not as good.

    “Why are you so


    engrossed in that book?” Anya’s voice snapped Corinne back to her senses.
