While My Husband Cheated I Married His Powerful Brother novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172: Chapter 172 The Pendant’s Secret

​The entire library was completely silent.

​Veyra sat back in the deep reading nook, balancing the thick design book across her lap. The paper inside was soft and yellowed around the edges, the printed photos had faded over time, and the layout diagrams were drawn with incredible detail.

​Earlier in the afternoon, she had searched through three different title listings online. Interior design, visual merchandising, and commercial space planning.

​She had spent almost a full hour searching through the high shelves near the back corner. She climbed the tall rolling ladder, sliding it along the track, and carefully scanned the titles stamped on every leather spine.

​In the end, she actually found all three of them. They were tucked away tightly between a thick history of world architecture and a biographical volume on a famous designer.

​She pulled them off the shelf one by one. They were heavy, cold to the touch, and coated in a thin layer of grey dust.

​She carried the stack straight back over to the quiet window seat, sat down, and opened up the very first volume.

​She was just settling in to start reading through the first section.

​Her elbow accidentally bumped against a dark hardcover sitting on the shelf right next to her seat.

​The book tipped right over the edge. It hit the floorboards with a loud thud and fell wide open.

​As it hit the floor, a single folded sheet of loose paper slipped out from between the pages and drifted onto the rug.

​Veyra set her heavy design manual down on the cushion beside her, leaned forward, and reached down to pick up the loose paper.

​The sheet was noticeably old and turned pale yellow around the margins. The edges were worn down and frayed, but the writing across the top was crisp, neat, and extremely precise.

​She lowered her eyes and read the name written across the header.

Isaac West

​Her breath instantly caught in her throat.

​She recognized that exact handwriting right away. She had seen it on contract documents and private desk notes around the house. It belonged to Dorian.

​She sat there staring blankly at the paper, her pulse hammering in her ears while her mind raced in a hundred different directions.

​What was a note like this doing hidden deep inside an old book? And why was Dorian’s personal handwriting linked to that name?

​She picked up the fallen book off the floor and looked closely at the cover.

​The title stamped into the leather was mostly rubbed away, and the binding was split along the spine. She carefully flipped it open to see what it was about.

​The interior pages were packed with complex technical drawings, chemical structure formulas, and intricate scientific illustrations.

​She leaned down close to read through the main text.

​Star Core Meteorite Gold.

​She blinked twice, rubbing her eyes. She read the header a second time just to make sure she wasn’t seeing things.

​The text went on to describe a rare material from deep space. It was a dense metallic fragment created billions of years ago during a massive cosmic event. A massive asteroid had slammed straight into the surface of Mercury, and the extreme heat and pressure from the collision created a completely unique metal alloy.

​According to the records, the material contained naturally occurring superconducting crystal structures. It was incredibly hard to find, nearly impossible to price, and held incredible physical power.

​Her thoughts started spinning out of control.

​She knew a little bit about high-grade superconductors from basic science articles. She knew they represented the absolute top tier of modern technology, and that whoever controlled them could easily revolutionize energy grids, magnetic transport systems, and long-range communications.

​But she had never heard anyone mention a name like Star Core Meteorite Gold in her entire life.
