"Ah..." Jimena cried out in anguish.

Watching the bond with her beloved necklace shattered so abruptly, she felt her heart shatter as well.

This necklace held a special place in her heart, and now it lay ruined before her. The devastation was overwhelming.

The craftsmanship had been impeccable, making repairs seem nearly impossible. Even if it could be restored, the scars of repair would forever mar its beauty, diminishing its value greatly.

"Sir, you..." Jimena attempted to protest, but Davey's grip tightened, silencing her with a forceful gesture.

"Emm..." Jimena trembled in terror as Davey's countenance twisted into a savage expression, prompting her to thrash about uncontrollably, her mouth emitting stuttered, whimpering sounds.

Yet, Davey remained indifferent to her distress.

With deliberate motions, he lifted his fingers, and despite the sapphire pendant being broken, its allure remained undiminished. The fractured fragments gleamed ominously on his curled fingers.

Gradually, Davey inserted the necklace into Jimena's mouth, employing his fingers to push it down her throat, piece by piece.

Observing Jimena's face flush with distress, he calmly inquired, “Do you realize the mistake in your statement?"

“Ah... Ugh..." Jimena emitted peculiar gagging noises. A foreign object lodged in her throat induced a nauseating urge to vomit, yet Davey's fingers obstructed her windpipe. She gasped for air, feeling as though she were suffocating.

In a leisurely tone, Davey asserted, “Casey has always been truthful, and she'd never say such accusations against me. If you suggest she's been dishonest with me, then it stands to reason that you're the one being untruthful!"

With his final words, he exerted pressure with his fingers, forcing the sizable sapphire into Jimena's throat.

The sapphire proved too massive for Jimena's slender esophagus, impeding the free movement of his fingers.

Davey refrained from pushing it deeper, opting instead to swiftly seize a silver stick from the table, employing it to forcefully shove the necklace downward.

Eventually, even the stick had been fully inserted.

With ruthless determination, Davey declared, “This necklace has been tainted by your actions, so now it belongs to you alone!"

With that proclamation, he roughly hurled Jimena to the ground.

Jimena could no longer make any sound, her only expression one of wide-eyed torment, unable to find solace even in death.

As Davey exited Jimena's apartment, his assistant handed him a pack of disinfectant wipes, a silent acknowledgment of the grimy surroundings.
