Chapter 1020:

Another strange thing Mitchel found was that when Davey left, he didn't sell those properties. Instead, he hired caretakers and high-ranking soldiers to guard each empty house. They were all idle properties.

Mitchel stared at the computer screen for a while. His eyebrows began to furrow little by little. Why did Davey keep those properties? What made those empty houses so valuable?

Mitchel remained silent for a while, deep in thought. Then he made a phone call. «I want you to check out some properties. I'll send you the details."

Jimena went to Davey's villa, located on the outskirts.

The butler called her because something unexpected had happened to Casey.

Today was not Jimena's time to attend to Casey. However, Casey suddenly complained of a headache and Davey was not home. The butler didn't dare ignore what Casey was feeling, so he called Davey. But for some reason, Davey didn't answer the phone. Casey kept complaining that the pain was getting worse, so the butler had no choice but to call Jimena.

Jimena knocked on the door and the butler let her in. But she didn't go to the basement alone. It was Davey's policy that the butler accompany her to the basement.

The basement door was protected by an iris scanner and a double-protection password. It was impossible for Jimena to open it alone.

The butler was about to lead Jimena to the basement when the phone rang.

Of course, the butler couldn't ignore it, thinking it might be Davey. So the butler asked Jimena to wait while he went to answer the phone.

Jimena stayed in the living room waiting for the butler. Suddenly, a box caught his attention.

It was a gift box wrapped in red silk. It seemed very luxurious and high class. Red silk was the type of material that only the royal or noble families of Ambrosia used.

But what caught Jimena's attention the most was the embroidery she was wearing. It was a phrase. "The birds come back when the time comes."

On the side of the box there were also elegant embroidered drawings of swallows, flowers and grasses.

Jimena had previously heard from her family that swallows symbolized nobility in ancient Ambrosia. Looking at the box, the grass looked familiar.

After thinking for a while, Jimena suddenly remembered. It was precisely the herb Casey had told him to buy. He remembered that the herb was called "Angelica Sinensis."

At that time, Casey mentioned that her desire for this herb was due to her longing to return to Ambrosia.

In gratitude for Casey's kindness, Jimena secretly took out her phone and took a photo of the embroidery, planning to draw it later and show it to Casey, hoping to relieve her homesickness.

Casey was tragically confined to the basement daily by Davey.

Although she lived a high-quality life, she felt alone. After all, the only people he could see were Jimena and Davey. Jimena believed that no one would choose a life like that.

Every time Jimena saw Casey, she felt like she was like a canary with broken wings, beautiful but imperfect.

After answering the phone, the butler returned to escort Jimena through the door, which had a detector that sounded the alarm if someone was carrying metal objects or communication devices such as telephones.

Jimena placed her phone in a basket prepared by the butler. Then he entered, taking only his medical bag.

Inside, Casey lay listlessly on the bed. Obviously, she was in pain.
