Chapter 685 The Marshal’s Photo Album

But the moment he heard Emma, Lucien, and Corvin talking about “ugly photos,” his tall frame stiffened slightly.

So… Emy doesn’t like ugly photos? Thank goodness…

Fortunately, he had never asked Corvin for those ugly pictures.

Since Emma hadn’t mentioned checking his lightcore, Calum subconsciously lowered his head a little. The tension in his spine eased as he let out a long breath of relief in his heart.

But he had barely relaxed when Emma’s gaze suddenly landed on him. “Calum.”

“Hm?” The moment she called his name, his body tensed again instantly. “Emy… what is it?”

Emma walked over and extended her hand toward him. “Since you’re here anyway, hand over your lightcore too. Let me take a look.”

Originally, Emma hadn’t planned to check Calum’s lightcore. After all, Corvin hadn’t sent those photos to him. But Calum’s guilty expression just now had been far too obvious. Her instincts told her there was definitely something in his lightcore he didn’t want

her to see.

He hasn’t been secretly taking ugly photos of me too, has he?

Calum’s palms instantly began sweating at the mention of checking his lightcore.

“E–Emy… maybe that’s not necessary?” he tried weakly to resist. “Corvin never sent me any photos, and I’ve absolutely never taken any pictures of you. My lightcore is completely clean. Really!”

Unfortunately, his explanation only made things worse. Emma narrowed her eyes and stepped closer. “If there’s nothing there, why are you so nervous? Hand it over.”

The more he refused, the more suspicious it looked.

Nearby, Corvin–still bitter about being betrayed by his fellow mates–immediately lit up when he saw Calum’s awkward, nervous behavior.

Judging from how guilty Calum looks, there must be ugly photos of Emma in his lightcore too.

He immediately walked over while holding Remy.

“Emma, Calum is obviously acting guilty. The more he refuses to hand over his lightcore, the more it proves there are ugly photos of you in it.”

Calum shot Corvin a fierce glare. This guy’s gotten pretty bold, hasn’t he?

“Why are you glaring at me?” Corvin said righteously as he stood beside Emma. “You’re the one acting suspicious Look at Lucien- when Emma asked for his lightcore, he handed it over without hesitation. How look at you, all hesitant and awkward.”

Corvin leaned closer and added meaningfully, “Unless there’s something even worse in your lightcore than just ugly photos of

Emma?”

“I don’t!” Calum immediately defended himself.

Sooner or later, he was definitely going to beat Corvin up.

“Emy, you have to believe me. I absolutely didn’t do anything rude.”

Corvin shrugged. “Hand Emma your lightcore then.”

Someone absolutely had to share the burden of the ridiculous hairstyle with him. He refused to suffer alone.

Lucien also turned to look at Calum. “Marshal, words alone won’t prove anything. If you want to clear your name, handing the lightcore to Emma for inspection is the best proof.”

Emma extended her hand toward him again. “Give me the lightcore.”

He was definitely hiding something.

Looking at Emma’s outstretched hand, Calum knew there was no escaping that day. He pressed his lips together and slowly removed the lightcore from his wrist before placing it into Emma’s palm.

Even as he handed it over, he tried one last time to defend himself. “Emy, I’ll let you look–but you have to believe me.”

His eyes were filled with sincerity.

“I admit that I did secretly take a few photos of you. But I swear, I’m not like Corvin, who has no sense of aesthetics. The photos I took really aren’t ugly. Every single one looks great to me. They’re very natural. They show… they show your most genuine side.”

At the words “most genuine,” Emma’s eyelid twitched. That uneasy feeling in her chest grew even stronger.

She immediately snatched the lightcore from his hand and shot him an annoyed glance.

“Let go. Whether they’re ugly or not, I’ll be the judge.”

Calum had no choice but to release it, standing there nervously rubbing his fingers together.

Emma skillfully opened the lightcore and tapped into the photo album.

The moment she entered it, she was stunned by the sheer number of photos.

A few photos, he said. But there were hundreds!

Aside from several grotesque images of Chitinids, nearly the entire album was filled with pictures of her face.

Emma took a deep breath and began scrolling downward. As photo after photo slid past her eyes, the mild curiosity she had started with slowly transformed into a murderous impulse.

This is your definition of “no ugly“? Every single one looks great to you?

One photo showed a candid shot of her eating, her mouth wide open and her cheeks puffed out like a hamster hoarding food. Another had captured a grain of pasta stuck at the corner of her mouth with horrifying clarity, her expression blank and ridiculous.
