Chapter 1022:

? ? ? ? ?

The butler felt the beginnings of Davey's anger. He was so scared that his legs were shaking slightly. «Mr. Glyn, this is sent by the Clifford family. But I don't know what to do with it, so I've decided to wait for you to come home.

Normally, incoming items were kept in a specific room and assigned only after consulting Davey.

But this one had been sent by the Clifford family. And it just so happened that Davey attended the Clifford family wedding banquet today.

Since the Clifford family delivered the gift directly to Davey's door, the butler thought they wanted to curry Davey's favor. After all, Davey had an esteemed status. So he put the gift in the living room without thinking much.

But Davey's expression made the butler feel that he had made the wrong decision. His body trembled unconsciously. He stammered, “Mr. Glyn… What… what should we do with this gift?”

Davey's eyebrows furrowed tightly. He was baffled by the Clifford family's act of sending such a gift to his mansion. After all, their mansion was quite far from the Clifford family residence.

They had crossed half the city just to deliver the gift. Was it just because he attended the wedding? Why would they do something like that?

Davey walked over and examined the gift box carefully. Then, he noticed the words embroidered on the red silk. "The birds come back when the time comes."

Davey stared at this sentence for a while, reflecting. However, he couldn't find anything particularly worth mentioning.

However, he was distrustful by nature. And when something was unclear or perplexed, he preferred to get rid of it to save himself from thinking too much.

After a while, Davey ordered, “Burn it clean.”

If this gift was truly a Clifford family wedding souvenir, burning it was certainly inauspicious.

But since it was an order from Davey, the butler could only obey without question. «Okay, Mr. Glyn. I'll do it right now."

Actually, the butler was curious to know what was inside the gift box.

But of course he wouldn't dare open it. He lifted the heavy gift box and was preparing to carry it outside. But suddenly Davey stopped him. "Check if the Clifford family sent gifts to everyone who attended the wedding or just me."

"Okay, Mr. Glyn." The butler nodded and left.

At that moment, Jimena had already left the basement.

Davey immediately asked, "How's Casey?"

«She's been a little inactive lately. That's why you feel discomfort in your chest. Getting more exercise and getting some fresh air will help you a lot. “I will return the day after tomorrow to continue with your acupuncture treatments,” Jimena explained.

Davey nodded in understanding. Jimena respectfully said goodbye to him and left the mansion.

When Jimena reached the door, a piece of red silk suddenly fluttered to her feet before she could get into the car. He looked at it closely and found that it was the red silk used to wrap the gift box he had seen on the table earlier.

Then, a faint smell of smoke spread not far away.

Jimena looked and saw the butler. He had his back to her and seemed to be burning something.

Jimena looked again at the red silk on the floor. Could it be that the butler was burning the gift box he saw on the table?

Jimena couldn't help but sigh. The red silk seemed so fine. It was very likely that the gift it contained was valuable. It was a pity that the butler simply burned it.
