Chapter 1054:

? ? ? ? ?

Casey had barely breathed a sigh of relief when Davey's voice broke the silence again. “And tomorrow, when we venture out, wear the blue diamond necklace.”

Casey's heart skipped a beat, fearing she had discovered something, and her pulse almost skipped a beat in her throat.

Davey's behavior seemed normal as he nonchalantly commented, "You look amazing with him. "I really admire him."

He did not delay any longer and turned to leave.

Casey waited until he was gone before cautiously placing her hand over her pounding heart, acknowledging that she had been close.

Tomorrow she could find an excuse to avoid wearing the necklace, but she had to find a way to warn Jimena to leave immediately. He had doubts about his ability to maintain the deception for future meetings.

Casey contemplated indirectly asking the butler for an update on Jimena, recognizing that beneath Jimena's façade of simplicity and kindness lurked a shrewd individual.

If the butler mentioned it, Jimena would undoubtedly go on high alert and make her exit. That would be the most favorable result.

At that moment, Casey couldn't help but admire Jimena's resilience, recognizing that only someone like her could withstand the clutches of a madman like Davey.

When Davey left the house and got into his car, the helper handed him a crudely sewn piece of embroidery.

The assistant told him, “Dr. Hinks didn't seem to have any intention of sending this. "Instead, he just threw it in a trash can."

Davey stared at the rough embroidery in silence, though the pulsing veins on his forehead betrayed his latent rage. A cold chuckle escaped him. It seemed that nothing happened without meticulous calculation.

Jimena had already returned home and had disposed of the embroidered scarf that Casey had asked her to deliver to Raegan.

His intention to help Casey was non-existent from the beginning. She had already achieved her goals and was not willing to risk herself for such a dangerous undertaking. He had intended to inform Casey that he had sent it, but he didn't know if it would reach its recipient.

Furthermore, with the numerous servants in the Clifford household and the atmosphere of chaos prevailing, verification of such matters was impractical. His claims remained unverifiable. This strategy ensured that if Casey managed to escape, she could benefit doubly.

Although Casey remained captive, Jimena possessed the blue diamond necklace, a necklace worth hundreds of millions. If he decided to sell it, he could get fifty million, eighty million, or even one hundred million.

High-quality objects like this necklace tend to appreciate in value over time, increasing their appeal to collectors.

However, before getting rid of it, Jimena planned to enjoy carrying it herself for a while, recreating the fantasies of a wealthy young woman.

She wore a champagne-colored dress stolen from a wealthy woman's closet, which matched the necklace perfectly.

She twirled gracefully before the mirror, dancing with increasing fervor.

The more she admired herself, the more in love she became with her looks.

Pretending to embody high society was extraordinarily easy for her with this dazzling necklace. She carefully observed her reflection in the mirror, imitating Casey's refined gestures and adopting the demeanor of a sophisticated lady.

The result was somewhat comical, but the charm of the necklace blinded her to any absurdity. She convinced herself that she truly embodied the essence of a wealthy young woman, even going so far as to compare herself to Casey.

With this idea ingrained, a cascade of similar thoughts followed.
