Chapter 490 - SECRETS: PART I (1/2)

Knightley's Estate

It's been a few hours since Elizabeth arrived home with her mother. She didn't see either her father nor grandparents since they were away doing personal matters. Her grandparents visited some relatives whilst her father was busy back in the company. In the end, she was left all alone since her mother had things to do as well.

”Is everything alright?”

Sam knocked at the girl's doors as she entered to check on her. She hasn't seen the girl for awhile now since she woke up.

”Sam, it's good to see you ” Elizabeth responded with a smile but she was soon caught by Sam and questioned.

”Tell me, why did you come back?”

Elizabeth knew she couldn't lie to Sam and she does trust her. ”I need to look for something.”

”What is it?” Sam.curiously asked as she sat next to the girl.

”I don't know, but I'll know it once I find it.”

She didn't question the girl further for she knew it was something she shouldn't involve herself. Seeing the girl is not telling her, just prove how important it must be that the girl isn't telling her. For, it was not because the girl doesn't trust her, but it was for her own good.

”Very well, tell me if you need anything.”

”Hmm, alright.”

Sam left the girl to rest since it hasn't been awhile since she arrived and she might be experiencing jet lag.

However, Elizabeth wasn't feeling any of those.

What she was more concerned about was where to start the search.

Their family has a vast collection of books which holds information of the majors family history. But, she won't be able to find anything new since her father will surely have hidden them.

Her father was the type of person to keep detailed information of important people. He is also the type to bring those information at home and keep them safe somewhere.

Their house is old and historical which has many secret rooms. Elizabeth is unaware of all those rooms yet since she has yet to inherit the property. But, unlike the others who wait to be told. When she was a child, she discovered some of those rooms. Most were filled with old family heirlooms and portraits. Whilst other, a hidden study and more.

However, she was a child back then and she is unsure where they are located. Also, she needed to be specific with the place and not wander around, for she does not have time to look around before any of her family returns.

For now, her best option was to search the library. Their family has a few libraries but there are only two grand libraries which hold most of the collection.

One of the libraries is located near her father's office whilst the other was located at the west wing of the estate. The west wing of the estate is hardly used and the books there are also old. That's why there are a few livray since she has her own personal library too.
