Casey didn't say anything. She only scoffed inwardly. If Davey really listened to everything she said, he wouldn't have locked her in the basement. But she chose not to say anything more. After all, Davey was only outside. It was not safe to say too much.

Besides, Jimena was naive and uncalculating. Casey was afraid that her inadvertent words would harm Jimena. So, the less Jimena knew, the better.

From the basement, Davey went to the living room.

Davey frowned at the sight of the gift box on the table. He asked sharply, “Who sent this?"

The butler sensed the onset of Davey's anger. He was so scared that his legs trembled slightly. “Mr. Glyn, this was sent by the Clifford family. But I don't know what to do with it, so I decided to wait for you to come home."

Normally, incoming items were stored in a specific room and allocated only after consulting Davey.

But this one was sent by the Clifford family. And it so happened that Davey attended the Clifford family's wedding banquet today.

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

But Davey's expression now made the butler feel he made the wrong decision. His body unconsciously trembled. He stuttered, "Mr. Glyn... What... What should we do with this gift?"

Davey's brows furrowed tightly. He was baffled by the Clifford family's act of sending such a gift to his mansion. After all, his mansion was quite far from the Clifford family's residence. They traveled across half of the city just to deliver this gift. Was it only because he attended the wedding? Why would they do such a thing?

Davey walked over and checked the gift box closely. Then, he noticed the embroidered words on the red silk. "Birds return when the time comes."

Davey stared at this sentence for a while, pondering. However, he couldn't find anything particularly noteworthy.

Yet, he was naturally suspicious. And when something was unclear or perplexing, he preferred to get rid of it to save himself from overthinking.

After a while, Davey ordered, "Burn it clean."

If this gift was really a wedding souvenir from the Clifford family, burning it was certainly inauspicious.

But since it was Davey's order, the butler could only obey without questioning. “Okay, Mr. Glyn. I'll do it right away."

Actually, the butler was curious about what was inside the gift box.

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

“Okay, Mr. Glyn." The butler nodded and went off.

At this moment, Jimena had already come out of the basement.
