Chapter 2074 Crucial DetailUpon hearing that voice, Roxanne felt as though the memories that had been sealed away in her mind had been unearthed.Ascene from the past appeared in her mind.

In that scene, her mother and Rachel were chatting with each other while eating cakes under a tree. As the sun dipped into thehorizon, she appeared from the corner where her kindergarten was located and rushed home. The journey was less than ahundred meters.

Then, upon arriving at her home, she'd shout, “Mommy, I'm home!”Back then, her mother was healthy, angelically beautiful, and always smiling.

During that period, Rachel was still young as well. She had just married not too long ago and hadn't given birth to any childrenyet. She often sought guidance from Roxanne's mother about domestic issues.

It'd be nice if our life back then could continue forever, but Grant destroyed everything.

After a long while, Roxanne returned to her senses and told Rachel everything had been going well since she returned toHorington.

Rachel asked, “When you married the son of the Farwell family, | was happy for you. After | heard you divorced him fromsomeone, | wanted to replace you, but | couldn't contact you. Many years have passed since then. Roxanne, it's a pity whathappened to your mother.”

Her caring voice warmed Roxanne's heart.

Roxanne told the older woman what happened during the years after her divorce. She also mentioned how she remarriedLucian, her children, and unborn babies.

Her intention was to put Rachel at ease.

Of course, Rachel was happy for the younger woman. “Your mother must be watching over and protecting you from theheavens.”

Roxanne believed that as well. “If you have time, you should come to Horington for vacation, Ms. Vasque. Or, if | have time, I'llvisit you. Right now, there’s an important thing | need your help with.” | almost forgot why | called her!

She asked the older woman about the object her mother left behind.

Rachel went into deep thought before asking, “Is the tree in the courtyard still there?”

“| thought about it too, but the tree died many years ago. Even after digging up the ground around the tree, | found nothing.”“In that case, | have an idea, but | don't know if you'll replace anything there. Is the wedding photo still around?”

Roxanne nodded. “It is, but | searched through it, too. There's nothing in the frame.” Even if | didn’t, Winnie would've searchedthrough places like that, including the television cabinet, ceiling light, and fan.

“Is that so? Then I'll try to recall where it might be to the best of my abilities. Your mother treated me very well back then. Wewere like sisters. | really hate Grant!”

“Take your time with it, Ms. Vasque. There's no need to rush. When you do remember where it is, call me.

Here’s my number...”

After that, the two women continued their sentimental conversation.

At the side, Lucian furrowed his eyebrows. Before Roxanne could react, he pulled her hand, brought her downstairs, and droveto the Jarvis residence.

He abruptly thought about a crucial detail when the wedding photo was brought up.The picture frame wasn't made of ordinary wood. Instead, it was mahogany, and the frame itself was very thick.

If one were to empty the frame, one could hide a tiny item inside
