Before getting into the car, Jimena picked up the red silk and stuffed it into her medical bag. She thought of giving it to Casey next time. Perhaps it could help ease Caseys homesickness.
At this moment, Davey was in the study.
One of his men was reporting to him. Sir, shall we summon our men back from Ardlens? Now that Miss Foster is with the Clifford family, shall we send someone to scope out the situation inside the

Clifford family..
No need to send someone to the Clifford family. Just withdraw our men from Ardlens temporarily, Davey interrupted. I dont want to strain my relationship with the Clifford family because of this trivial matter.
Back then, when Davey heard about Katies death, he immediately ordered to kill Raegan. However, their first attempt failed. Since then, he had been looking for another opportunity. But unexpectedly, Raegan married into the Clifford family.
It wasnt about whether Davey could do something against the Clifford family. It was about whether it was worth it.
The Clifford family was one of the major families in Aurora. It was not worth it to initiate a conflict with them. Raegan was the new daughter-in-law of the Clifford family, and they valued her so much.
Thus, Davey decided to suspend the assassination plans for the time being. He had to observe and study the situation thoroughly before making a move.
After talking with his man, Davey went to the basement to see Casey.
Casey sat on the bed, gazing out the window at the perfectly manicured garden in a daze. She was so lost in thought that she seemingly didnt register Daveys presence.
Davey silently approached her from behind and put a blue diamond necklace around her neck.
The stones looked dazzling as the lights shone on them. Obviously, such jewelry was invaluable.
Davey leaned over and gently kised Caseys earlobe. Then, he asked in a deep voice, Do you like it?

Casey felt the cool touch of the diamond on her skin, but she didnt even look at it. She was not interested in it.
Ever since she woke up, Davey had been endlessly trying to win her over in various ways. Lavish gems, rare pearls, and other valuable items. He gave her gift after gift, and each was more extravagant than the other. But after Casey removed them, she never wore them again.
Davey thought she didnt like them. So he kept offering different things. But no matter how delicate, exquisite, and expensive they were, Casey remained indifferent.
This time, Daveys patience was wearing thin. He said in a much colder tone, Why are you unhappy? Jimena said you need more exercise. Lets go. Ill take you to the garden for a walk.
Davey reached out his hand to Casey. However, she just slapped it away. He looked at her sternly, and his expression turned cold. He grabbed her chin, intending to teach her a lesson.
Casey faced him without fear. Her beautiful eyes were moist and shimmering. They sparkled more beautifully than the diamond around her neck.
Davey found himself unable to go through with his reprimand. He sighed softly and said, Casey, you are the only person who can do this to me repeatedly.
He loosened his grip slightly and bent down to kis her. However, she turned her face away to dodge. Before he could say anything, she said with red eyes, Davey, I am not a bird you can cage. You always lock me up here. I dont want to live in this basement anymore.
Casey stood up and pointed outside. That garden is very big and beautiful. But do you know how many steps it takes to walk around it?
Daveys eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at her, not understanding what she meant.
Eight hundred thirty-six steps! Casey shouted. You are asking me to go out for a walk. What am I supposed to enjoy there? Counting the leaves on the trees? Do you realize how suffocating it is to stay in the same place every day?
