Chapter 387 Lying About Being Friends


    It took about two hours by car to reach Jessica''s house from Coronia University.


    The road was bumpy along the way. During the journey, Callum briefed them on Jessica''s


    background.


    In short, she was the only child from a wealthy family. This became evident when they saw therge


    vi when they got to the Landon family''s house.


    The vi had an antique design, with arge garden in front featuring meticulously cared-for flowers


    and nts.

    "This is the ce," Callum said, stepping out of the car first.


    "Let''s go look," Xander said, reassuringly gripping Grace''s hand.


    Grace nodded and followed him out of the car.


    Standing outside the vi, they started to examine it closely.


    Callum was the first to speak. "Theoretically, the Landon family hasn''t lived here for a long time, but


    the vi is so well-kempt. It doesn''t look abandoned."


    After saying this, he stepped forward and rang the doorbell.


    Soon, a woman in her 50s or 60s emerged from the house and slowly approached the door, asking,


    "Who are you looking for?"


    Grace stepped forward with a smile. "Hello, is this Landon Residence?"


    The woman sized up Grace suspiciously and asked, "And you are?"


    Before Grace could respond, Xander said, "We''re Ms. Jessica''s friends. She asked us toe get


    something for her."


    Grace turned to look at him. Their eyes met, and Xander gave her a reassuring nce.


    The woman still seemed suspicious of them. "You''re Ms. Jessica''s friends?"


    "Yes."


    After a moment of hesitation, she was about to say something when Callum took out his phone and


    handed it to her.


    "Look, this message is from her. She asked us to help her take a design she drew."


    The woman''s face brightened when she saw Callum showing her a message between him and


    Jessica.


    She opened the door and said joyfully, "Miss hasn''t been home for a long time. I didn''t expect that


    her friends woulde for a visit. Pleasee in."


    Grace raised her eyebrows and looked at Callum curiously.


    He seemed to understand her confusion and gave her a knowing smile. Without further exnation,


    the three of them entered the house.


    "I''m the Landon family''s housekeeper. I''ve been here for many years. I was nning to resign after


    Mr. and Mrs. Landon passed away. But Ms. Jessica took pity on me, seeing that I had nowhere to


    go as an old woman. She invited me to stay and help look after the house."


    As the housekeeper spoke, she led them into the living room.


    "Please sit. I''ll go make some tea for you."


    Then, the housekeeper turned and went to the kitchen.


    Grace took advantage of the moment and asked Callum, "What was that about the message just


    now?"


    Callum smiled mysteriously, nced at Xander, and exined, "It was Photoshop. There''s no need


    to worry."


    "Is that possible?"


    Grace couldn''t help but wonder if convincing someone using a Photoshopped image was that easy.


    That was quite an advanced skill!


    Callum continued, "Grace, don''t forget the purpose of our visit. We have to find out what''s going


    on."


    As he finished speaking, the housekeeper came out with tea. Grace quickly stood up to help her.


    "Let me do it."


    "It''s okay. I''ve been doing this for many years. Let me handle it," the housekeeper insisted, cing


    the tea on the coffee table in front of them.
