Chapter 106 Are You Saying I'm Ignorant

At the Ashton family residence, the servants had tidied up everything, leaving the guests seated in anticipation on both sides of the room. They were all awaiting the celebrated antique expert, Donnelly Gilbert.

The Ashton family all looked on with delight as Corrine took her seat among them.

The light in the room cast a soft glow on Corrine, whose stunning features were illuminated as if she were a breathtaking piece of art.

The memory of Corrine's earlier remark, "Remember what you said," weighed heavily on Rita, leaving her no choice but to press Corrine into confessing the artifact was a fake.
