Chapter 132 Shattered Glass

• The storm had hardly relaxed its hold on the Levi estate when the thick oak doors creaked open once more.
• Lili Levi entered, her shoes striking the marble floor with a discordant echo throughout the spacious hall. Her pricey wool coat smells faintly of rain and lilies, drops still shining on the black cloth cut specifically. Her golden hair, expertly arranged in a chignon, did not show one strand out of alignment. A gift from Adam years ago, her sapphire earrings swung softly as she gently removed her gloves with careful, deliberate grace. She ignored the way the house had stilled. Alternatively, how does the staff vanish into the walls like smoke? Alternatively, as if the house itself were holding its breath, the very air felt thicker, heavier. A faint murmur stirred in the study outside the hall, the clink of a glass being laid down. Firm footsteps. a slow, deliberate exhale.
• Ignorant of the storm she was about to step into, Lili fixed the collar of her coat walked forward.
