she will return anytime soon. That would be best.”

The housekeeper sounded like she was looking forward to it.

The conversation turned somber at this point.

Grace pursed her lips and continued, “Would you mind telling us about the accident that

The housekeeper shook her head and said, “The police investigated that matter long ago. It was an

accident. There’s nothing more to it. We can’t inquire about these things.

“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.”

“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, I found information about the accident at that time. I also happen to know the police officer
