Margaret's Secret

Chapter 29 Epilogue
The next day, I boarded the flight back home.

The first thing after returning to Shanghai was naturally to find Lin Hai.I met him and Margaret in that small cafe on West Nanjing Road.

Luckily Marguerite wore a fashionable dress, otherwise I would really have thought she had stepped out of an oil painting.I know she comes from a mysterious family, and she has the blood of Princess Marguerite and de La Mole 400 years ago, if there is no bloody night of St. La Moore's vigorous love, if there is no belief in burying the lover's head, how can this family survive to this day?

Yes, this family was born for secrets, but it was born for love.Fortunately, Lin Hai is not De La Moore, Marguerite is no longer a princess and queen, and the tragedy of 400 years ago will not repeat itself.

Lin Hai spread his hands to me. It turned out that the line of letters in his hand had been erased with the help of his classmates from the Department of Chemistry.

I told Lin Hai that the real "Marguerite" oil painting has been taken back by the St. Louis Museum, and the fake "Marguerite" painted by Lin Danqing back then is also very valuable because of its age and legend.Lin Hai and his father, as the heirs of Lin Danqing's estate, own part of the ownership of the fake "Marguerite". If the painting is auctioned in the future, they can also get a considerable income.

As for the parchment that Lin Hai gave me, it has been recognized as a national treasure by the French government and designated to be collected by the Louvre Museum, but Lin Hai’s family can get high compensation.

I asked Margaret about her future plans, and she said that her family had forgiven her betrayal, she fell in love with China deeply, and was going through the procedures to study in China.

Finally, Lin Hai asked me a question: "Have you seen the records of human history after 2005 in the "Book of the Dead"?"

I smiled and said—

"The secret cannot be leaked."
