“Don’t worry, Mr. Glyn. I’ll ensure this one doesn’t slip through my fingers,” the man assured, a sinister grin playing on his lips. “No prey evades my grasp.”
Davey chuckled darkly. “Then strike in a month.”
Resuming his interaction with the canary, Davey was taken aback when the bird suddenly pecked at him.
“Crack.”
Without hesitation, Davey swiftly ended the bird’s life, its once vibrant form now still within the confines of its cage.
Davey’s eyes gleamed with a twisted amusement as he stroked the lifeless creature. “Isn’t that much more obedient?”
Suddenly, a noise from outside caught Davey’s attention.

“Miss 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?”
“Miss Foster, isn’t it true that Mr. Frazier and Mr. Dixon are close acquaintances? Are there any arrangements or associations?”
“Miss Foster, have you been made aware of the speculation regarding Miss Glyn being pregnant with Mr. Dixon’s child…”
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.
Mitchel’s demeanor exuded coldness as he turned his gaze toward the owner of the camera. “Why not address your inquiries to me directly?”
