Caleb Mamet looked down, the sketch in Xaviera Evans’ hand was a simple one. The lines were haphazard, but the man’s facial features were clear, his gaze gentle, and there was a scar on his forehead.

He watched silently for a while before softly stating, “I don’t recognize him.”

Xaviera Evans frowned slightly, her expression suggesting she had expected such a response, “I have no recollection of this man either, yet I dreamt of him. In my dream, he was the one who drugged and drew my blood.”

Caleb’s gaze fell back on the sketch; his eyes gradually hardened. The man in the picture was handsome with a sorrowful look in his eyes, but to Caleb, his gaze seemed insincere.

“Let Sean Price investigate it.”

Xaviera Evans quickly waved her hand, “Let’s not rush and alert him; I don’t know if this man really exists or is a figment of my imagination. Even if he does exist, we cannot investigate openly.”

If the man did indeed take her blood, he would undoubtedly be on guard. Their overt investigation might raise suspicion.

She folded the paper and put it away, eyes slightly squinted, “The person who knows this secret must be someone I trust deeply. I am curious as to what makes him worthy of my trust.”

Looking at the man in the sketch, she found it hard to understand why she would trust a man who appeared so insincere.

…

The next morning, inside the study,

“Sir, we are ready. We can leave now.” Sean Price announced.

Standing up, Caleb put on his coat and adjusted his clothes in the mirror, “Are the affairs with the Brooke family settled?”

“They are taken care of; they won’t make a move any time soon.”

Caleb nodded, then, as if suddenly remembering something, asked in a low voice, “What about the matter I asked you to investigate yesterday?”

“No leads yet.” Sean responded.

This answer was within Caleb’s expectation. If it had been so simple to uncover, it wouldn’t have remained a mystery for so many years.

Just then, Xaviera Evans walked in through the door. Caleb immediately noticed the emerald necklace around her neck and complimented her with a smile, “Beautiful.”

They were returning to Libanan today, so Xaviera Evans was in a good mood. She had dressed up in a purple printed satin dress, donned a white rabbit fur shawl since it was still a bit cold, and her black lush hair was simply coiled into a bun, pinned with an emerald hair stick. A pair of green tassels hung from it, matching nicely with the emerald necklace on her neck.

Her skin was fair; she didn’t need any heavy makeup. A bit of cosmetic touch-up was enough to accentuate her beauty. She stood at the door, her figure attractive, a laugh visible in her clear eyes, a tinge of blush blooming on her fair cheeks, looking charming and cute.

Caleb had never seen Xaviera Evans like this before. She always preferred modern dresses, but now, she looked breathtakingly beautiful in a traditional dress, almost like a fairy.

Xaviera Evans, wearing high heels, walked towards him, turned around shyly laughing, “Do you like this necklace my mom left me?”

“The necklace is beautiful, but you are even more beautiful.” Caleb wasn’t usually one for sweet talk, but when he did compliment, it was heartfelt. Each piece of jewelry left behind by Nina Hughes was precious, but Xaviera Evans rarely wore them. After all, the emerald necklace was too expensive and not easy to match with outfits, so it was not often worn. However, the simple dress she wore today surprisingly complemented the emerald pieces.

“What’s happening outside?” Xaviera Evans looked towards the nearby bustling villa and asked curiously.

Sean glanced outside and replied, “Apparently, someone is moving in.”

The place they were staying at was a high-class villa area in Yittaland, having few residents around. This villa was purchased by Caleb on a whim, and both adjacent villas were unoccupied. However, Xaviera Evans had noticed that although the villas were uninhabited, the yards were tidy, clearly undergoing regular cleaning. The owners just hadn’t moved in yet.

“I inquired about it this morning. The owner’s daughter is gravely ill. He bought this villa to provide a peaceful environment for her recovery. This place is quiet and undisturbed, which is a perfect setting for her recovery,” Sean explained.

Xaviera Evans nodded. The serene surroundings and fresh air indeed made it an ideal place for recuperation. But since she and Caleb were leaving soon, the place would be even quieter, which suited better for the girl.

Ten minutes later, Xaviera Evans and Caleb headed downstairs, preparing to leave. A man from the nearby villa looked their way and paused for a moment. By the time he recovered, Xaviera Evans had already hopped into the car.

The man stood still for a while, astounded and excited; he began shouting something and, grabbing the person next to him, he ran towards them.
