"Welcome to my room, Corinne!" Anya enthusiastically invited Corinne in. The decor in her room was very luxurious, and there was plenty of limited-edition furniture from big brands. Her huge bed was also custom-made with a bed curtain, and even the bed sheets looked exquisite and expensive.However, the room had the same strong smell of Anya's perfume, which made Corinne feel nauseous.Corinne looked around politely and nodded. "Yes. It's very beautiful."However, Anya sighed annoyedly and asked, "Do you think my room is too extravagant?"Corinne replied curtly, "It's not a problem if your family's financial resources allow such extravagance.""Well, Lucas had someone design and customize these for me! He insisted on giving me the best, and every floor tile in my room is painstakingly carved from real crystals. I told him not to go to so much trouble, but he wouldn't listen to me! I don't mind spending more on other things, but this is the floor we're talking about! We're going to
Even if that was the room Corinne used to live in when she was young, it would have been changed after Lucas ordered a complete refurbishment.Anya was not pleased whenever Corinne did not respond, and after thinking about it further, she laughed and pretended to be kind to her. "By the way, Corinne, I can always give you some of my out-of-season clothes so you don't have to spend any money!"In response, Corinne raised her eyebrow and looked silently at Anya so Anya could interpret it on her own.Anya felt a chill down her spine and said sheepishly, "But that was when you were young, right? You've all grown up now, and I forgot that you're now Jeremy's wife. With his support, you'll never be short of money to buy all these things!"She then Corinne from head to toe and remarked, "But why do your clothes look so cheap? Didn't Jeremy give you any money to buy clothes?"Corinne did not sense any familiarity in the cloakroom, so she turned around and faced Anya. "How is he going to g
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 the large 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! Bu
When Corinne saw that Anya was about to look over her shoulder, she quickly took the photo out of the book and hid it in her sleeve.Anya did not see the photo, only the squiggly text on the book's pages. She frowned and asked, "Do you understand this text?"Corinne closed the book and put it back in its place. "I don't. I was just browsing through it! Let's continue with the rest of your house tour!"Anya was about to respond but was immediately interrupted by a sound.Corinne's action of putting the book back in its original slot seemed to have triggered some mechanism, and the large built-in bookshelf moved to reveal a hidden door integrated within the bookshelf itself. The door automatically opened in the middle of the bookshelf!The sudden movement left Corinne stunned. "What's this?"Anya frowned and said with an unnatural expression, "It's nothing! This is my father's study. When it was renovated, the designer felt that this door design was more seamless and beautiful! My
Corinne followed Anya to a large, bright room decorated lavishly in a unique style. Everything inside the room looked expensive but not ostentatious. Out of all the rooms Corinne toured, she felt the most comfortable in this room. Without needing Anya to tell her, she had a good idea who the room belonged to.Still, she asked with a raise of her head, "Whose room is this?"Anya kept her smile in place while her eyes filled with contempt. "This room used to belong to a wanton woman in the family. It's been empty ever since she left since everyone thinks it'll bring them bad luck if they set foot in this room."Anya's answer assured Corinne of her guess. It was not hard to guess the room used to belong to her mother since it was decorated in her artistic style.Corinne narrowed her eyes at Anya. "This room has the best natural lighting out of the rooms you showed me. Yes, even better than your parents. I'm guessing only someone very important in your family could've lived in a room l
"Corinne, are you alright?"Anya suddenly swatted the music box from Corinne's hand, and it fell to the floor with a thud. The two little bears broke into pieces, and the music ceased swiftly.Corinne snapped out of her trance and looked at the broken music box sadly. She then bent down to pick up the pieces."God, why am I so clumsy? What a pity that the music box broke…" muttered Anya in an act-cute manner.Corinne ignored her. She turned the music box in her hand to try to make it play again, but alas, it was irrevocably broken."Be careful, Corinne. You wouldn't want to cut your hand on those broken glasses now, do you? Wait here. I'll go ask the servant to clean it up," said Anya. She then strode out of the room.Corinne continued to ignore her. She kept staring at the broken music box in her hands. 'I remember this song…and this room, too…'…Anya looked at her watch again after walking out of the room. Then, she smirked smugly before going downstairs.Lucas walked in th
Anya's scream pulled Lucas out of his thoughts. He immediately looked around and saw the door to Luna's childhood room, which was off-limits to everyone, was open. From outside the door, they could see Corinne squatting on the floor, holding the music box in her hands dazedly as though thinking of something.She slowly turned to look at Lucas and Anya when she heard Anya talking to her.Immediately after, Anya screamed again, "My goodness, Corinne! Why did you break my sister's music box? That was her favorite!"Corinne was unsurprised by Anya's false accusation at all. She simply stood up and calmly said, "I wasn't the one who broke it."Anya pretended to look shocked. She then snatched the broken music box from Corinne's hand to take a closer look, even though she was the one who broke it in the first place. "Oh no… It's really broken. What should we do?"After saying that, she turned to Lucas and said woefully, "I'm so sorry, Lucas. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have gone d
Lucas' eyes darkened. In them, Anya could see irrevocable sternness and authority. Although she had been spoiled by Lucas since she was little, she still feared him when he was serious like this."Well…just be nice to Corinne, then. Don't get angry at her because she entered Luna's room by mistake and broke her favorite music box. I'll go see Joey now…" said Anya.Even while she had no choice but to leave, she wanted him to remember what took place. Alas, she did not get the result she wanted.…Corinne did not plan to stay a second longer in the room. "Mister Lucas, I'm sorry for coming in here. I'll show myself out, but you should know that I didn't break the music box."She then walked out of the room, but Lucas stopped her by grabbing her arm. "This room is off-limits to everyone, and no one can enter without my permission."Corinne frowned. "So? Why don't you just come out straight with how you're going to punish me for coming in here without your permission?"Lucas closed
