“Oh, did you find the drawing Ms. Jessica was looking for?” Grace snapped back to attention and pulled out two drawings from the stack.

“These two. We've found them.”

The housekeeper finally relaxed and smiled. “Great! Ms. Jessica must be relieved. I'll put away the rest of the drawings!” “Thank you very much.”

As they left Landon Residence, Grace looked somewhat gloomy. She tightly clutched the design drawings in her hand, not saying a word.

“At least this trip has let us know that Jessica’s changes began five years ago. So everything stems from that accident,” Xander said.

Callum quickly presented his phone as if he were offering something valuable.

“Xander, | found information about the accident at that time. | also happen to know the police officer who handled the case. Why don’t we go find him right now?”
