Chapter 2074 Crucial Detail
Upon hearing that voice, Roxanne felt as though the memories that had been sealed away in her mind had been
unearthed.
A scene 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 the horizon, she appeared from the corner where her kindergarten was located and rushed home. The
journey was less than a hundred 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 children yet. 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 to Horington.
Rachel asked, “When you married the son of the Farwell family, I was happy for you. After I heard you divorced him
from someone, I wanted to find you, but I couldn't contact you. Many years have passed since then. Roxanne, it's a
pity what happened 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
remarried Lucian, 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 the heavens.”
Roxanne believed that as well. “If you have time, you should come to Horington for vacation, Ms. Vasque. Or, if I
have time, I'll visit you. Right now, there’s an important thing I need your help with.” I almost forgot why I 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?”
“I thought about it too, but the tree died many years ago. Even after digging up the ground around the tree, I found
nothing.”

“In that case, I have an idea, but I don't know if you’ll find anything there. Is the wedding photo still around?”
Roxanne nodded. “It is, but I searched through it, too. There's nothing in the frame.” Even if I didn't, Winnie
would've searched through 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. We were like sisters. I 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 drove to 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
