âDonât worry, Mr.
Glyn.
Iâll ensure this one doesnât slip through my fingers,â the man assured, a sinister grin playing on his lips.
âNo prey evades my grasp.
â
Davey chuckled darkly.
âThen strike in a month.
â
Resuming his interaction with the canary, Davey was taken aback when the bird suddenly pecked at him.
âCrack.
â
Without hesitation, Davey swiftly ended the birdâs life, its once vibrant form now still within the confines of its cage.
Daveyâs eyes gleamed with a twisted amusement as he stroked the lifeless creature.
âIsnât that much more obedient?â
Suddenly, a noise from outside caught Daveyâs attention.
âWhoâs there?â Davey hurried to the door and swung it open.
There, Davey found Casey kneeling on the staircase.
His gaze turned as cold as it had been when he had dispatched the canary.
Approaching slowly, his voice eerily calm, he questioned, âCasey, what are you doing here?â
Caseyâs shoulders quivered as she glanced upward, her voice trembling with fear.
âDavey, I couldnât find you.
.
Davey paused, studying her intently for a prolonged moment.
Finally, his Lips twitched slightly.
âWhat reason is there for fear? I havenât gone anywhere.
â
âDavey, my foot hurtsâ¦â Caseyâs visage, mature yet beautiful, bore an expression of innocence that surprisingly suited her well.
Davey gradually crouched down, his smile lacking warmth.
âIâll carry you back.
â
He hoisted the alluring Casey, and as he rose, she leaned her chin dependently on his shoulder.
Their gazes drifted in divergent directions, each lost in their own contemplations.
The following day.
Raegan arrived at the studio and was just about to exit the car when sudden ly, a swarm of reporters emerged.
âMiss Foster, Miss Glyn of the Glyn Group has leveled an accusation against you, alleging that you seduced her fiancé during their engagement period.
Is there any truth to this claim?â
âMiss Foster, rumors are circulating that you are financially supported by multiple benefactors, including Mr.
Frazier of Arthen Entertainment.
Can you confirm or deny these allegations?â
âMiss Foster, isnât it true that Mr.
Frazier and Mr.
Dixon are close acquaintances? Are there any arrangements or associations?â
âMiss Foster, have you been made aware of the speculation regarding Miss Glyn being pregnant with Mr.
Dixonâs childâ¦â
A deluge of accusations left Raegan stunned.
Before Raegan could formulate a response, a hand adorned with distinct knuckles forcefully swiped away one of the relentless cameras.
Mitchelâs demeanor exuded coldness as he turned his gaze toward the owner of the camera.
âWhy not address your inquiries to me directly?â
