Chapter 2144
"But, it doesn't belong to you. This is blasphemy!" Even with a glance and conjecture!
The relationship between parents might not be a passionate love, but there must be feelings. After all, they had lived together for decades, and even cats and dogs should have feelings for each other.
This study was the place where his father stayed the most when he was alive. Even if he was missing another woman here, Elijah firmly believed that this place was filled with the memories of his parents.
He would never allow anyone to hurt his mother in any way!
After withdrawing her greedy gaze, a very strange smile appeared on the woman's face once again. Her gaze faintly swept across her surroundings, intentionally or unintentionally. One could clearly sense some changes in her emotions. It was as though she was in a relationship that was difficult to part with.
Elijah's gaze inadvertently fell on his mother beside him, only to see that she was calmer and more reserved. At this moment, a strange thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
Did his mother love his father in this life? If she did, how could she be so calm? If she didn't love him, how could she stick to it for so many years? Did she rely on the Luther family to raise her up?
He still couldn't find the answer, but he saw Doreen's eyes look around and return to the entrance. She lifted her feet and walked out. Suddenly, he was stunned.
Was he going to take advantage of the situation or retreat?
"Madam..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw the woman stop in her tracks and turn to face the statue. An extremely brilliant smile once again blossomed on her face. "Why did you lose your cool so quickly?"
Catching her gaze, Elijah's eyes instantly focused on the statue. An idea flashed through his mind and he instantly thought of something.
Could it be that the place she was talking about was the shrine?
Indeed, he had renovated a large area of the room, but the area where the deity's statue was placed, due to its special significance and the family's religious beliefs, had been continuously worshipped and left untouched. Even though this room was rarely entered these days, it was always included in the annual rituals and ceremonies. When someone came to clean the room regularly, the offerings on the altar were also replaced.
Regarding deities, he couldn't really say whether he believed in it or not. His usual principle was not to worship them intentionally, but whenever he encountered one, he would do so sincerely. This particular statue brought home was naturally worshiped with great devotion. The statue in his father's study was specially brought in by his father, and it was said that a significant amount of money was spent on consulting experts before acquiring it. Therefore, since it was enshrined, it remained untouched. Even though the external shrine had obvious traces of aging, due to various taboos and considerations, this place never underwent any alterations, even during repairs and maintenance.
At this moment, Elijah's heart clearly missed a beat.
His father was indeed thoughtful! Perhaps he was not as fierce as the men of the Luther family who were born. But in terms of mentality, he would never lose to anyone. Therefore, the decision made by the elders back then might not be a so- called traditional rule, but it was also carefully considered. His father was in poor health and might not be strong enough. But in his memory, although he did not express his opinion on many things, he would participate in them.
At that time, he was still young. He always felt that his father was weak and incompetent, so it was his mother who took the lead. He wanted to learn more from his mother. Now, thinking about it, maybe he had never really understood his father. Maybe he had his own opinions on many decisions.
Otherwise, why would he listen to her every time he didn't speak?
It was reasonable to say that he was attached to power and had other intentions. But from the beginning to the end, that kind of thing had never happened. When he became an adult, he naturally took over everything!
Before his thoughts could be sorted out, a gentle voice suddenly rang out: "I'll still have to trouble you, Mr. Luther!"
All of a sudden, he came back to his senses and looked up. He saw that the woman stopped in front of the shrine and even knelt down devoutly before she stood up. Her finger landed on the shrine.
Later, Elijah called the butler over and asked a few people to carry down the huge statue. There was a thick layer of dust on the back wall, but it was obvious that there was no secret compartment or special trace. He was still wondering when the woman tapped a few numbers on her phone against the ring. Then, she directed a few people to move the statue aside, and underneath the wooden frame, they lifted several wooden partitions and rearranged them according to the order of the characters. Finally, he heard a clear "clang" sound, as if a gap had closed or a chain had unlocked, and soon after, someone actually brought out a mini-flat iron box.
It was a very small box. There was no key at all. It was opened in public, but
inside it was a piece of paper with the names of six people written on it.
In an instant, the air seemed to freeze and everyone looked at each other.
Everyone was silent. Elijah's face was cold, but his eyes subconsciously turned to Antoine, who was beside him. He could not hide his shock.
Antoine had accompanied his father for a lifetime. Could it be that he didn't even know about it?
This matter was really interesting!
As soon as the list came out, the proud look on Doreen's face became more and more obvious.
"Mr. Luther, you should know these people! You don't need me to find them one by one with the Double
Dragon buckle, do you? As long et
as
you give each person a call, it may not matter if they come or not. I should be able to find everything!" Cóntent
Shocked, Carolien subconsciously tugged Elijah from behind her. At this point in time, it was likely that anyone from the Luther family who knew the inside story wouldn't be able to develop in such a short period of time.
Feeling something, Elijah glanced at Carolien. He didn't ignore her action of shaking her head, but only lightly curled his lips. Even if he had nothing, he didn't want to lie to himself!
He patted her hand and looked back at his mother, saying, "Mom, I'm sorry! No matter what the result is, I really want to see what kind of drama my father left for
me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he

glanced at the list in the woman's eyes. After he dialed the number, he also directly pressed the speaker and handed it to Doreen. She said a few words, and then the answer came from the other side. noveldrama
"That's true! However, it's not in my hands. Mr. Luther told me that if someone talks about it, tell him that my password is zero. Take it and look for the fourth
person!"
After making a round of calls, they obtained a set of numbers, and the last person turned out to be Lauren's father. Uncle Quentin was quite surprised when Elijah Luther called him.
"Someone really came to take it? I'll contact Lawyer Clark!"
