Another strange thing Mitchel found was when Davey left, he didnt sell those properties. Instead, he hired caretakers and top-tier soldiers to watch over each empty house. They were all idle properties.
Mitchel stared at the computer screen for a while. His brows gradually furrowed. Why did Davey keep these properties? What made those empty houses so valuable?
Mitchel was silent for a while, lost in thought. Then, he made a phone call. I want you to check some properties. I will send you the details.
Jimena went to Daveys villa located in the suburbs.

The butler called her because something unexpectedly happened to Casey.
Today was not Jimenas schedule to tend to Casey. However, Casey suddenly complained of a headache, and Davey was not home. The butler didnt dare to ignore what Casey felt, so he called Davey. But for some reason, Davey didnt answer his phone. Casey kept complaining that the pain was getting worse, so the butler had no other choice but to call Jimena over.
Jimena knocked on the door, and the butler let her in. But she didnt go to the basement by herself. It was Daveys rule that the butler must accompany her to the basement.
The door of the basement was secured by an iris scanner and a password for dual protection. There was no way Jimena could open it on her own.
The butler was about to lead Jimena to the basement when the telephone rang.
Of course, the butler could not ignore it, thinking it could be Davey. So, the butler asked Jimena to wait while he went to answer the phone.
Jimena stood in the living room and waited for the butler. Suddenly, a box caught her attention.
It was a gift box wrapped in red silk. It looked very luxurious and high-class. The red silk was the type of material only royal or noble families in Ambrosia used.
But what attracted Jimenas attention the most was the embroidery on it. It was a sentence. Birds return when the time comes.
On the side of the box, there were also elegant patterns of swallows, flowers, and herbs embroidered.

Jimena heard from her family before that swallows symbolized nobility in ancient Ambrosia. Eyeing the box, she found the herb familiar.
After thinking for a while, Jimena suddenly remembered. It was precisely the herb Casey had instructed her to purchase. She recalled the herb went by the name Angelica Sinensis.
At that time, Casey mentioned her desire for this herb was due to her longing to return to Ambrosia.
Out of appreciation for Caseys kindness, Jimena secretly took out her phone and snapped a picture of the embroidery, thinking of drawing it later and showing it to Casey, hoping to alleviate her homesickness.
Casey was tragically confined daily to the basement by Davey.
Although she led a life of high quality, she was lonely. After all, the only people she could see were Jimena and Davey. Jimena believed no one would choose such a life.
Every time Jimena saw Casey, she felt Casey was like a canary with broken wings, beautiful yet flawed.
After answering the phone, the butler returned to escort Jimena through the door, which had a detector that would alarm if someone carried metal objects or communication devices such as phones.
Jimena put her phone in a basket prepared by the butler. Then, she walked in, taking only her medical bag with her.
Inside, Casey lay on the bed listlessly. Obviously, she was in pain.
