"It's typical for someone with such expertise to be eccentric. Can you make contact with him somehow?" Caspian questioned sternly.
"He rarely appears. He's actually a skilled thief. I'll find a way to contact him. I once saved his life, after all. His art of disguise is superb, but he's a tad loose. Lord Caspian, why do you need him?" Laina asked in confusion.
"Let's talk about this later when you locate him. Mr. Denzel, let's talk it out." Caspian turned to face Denzel.
When Denzel noticed that Caspian had given him a kind greeting, he smiled and asked respectfully, "Mr. Caspian, what do you need from me?"
"Mr. Massey ought to know why I intentionally cut ties with him. You continue to deteriorate our relationship in front of the media after you return to Dhord City," Caspian ordered.
Though he knew Logan wasn't intentionally abandoning him, Caspian would take some time to return to the Masseys.
Denzel shook his head. "Mr. Caspian, I'm here to protect you and Mrs. Massey. I'm not yet able to return to Dhord City."
Caspian revealed his plan. "We'll have a new plan soon. I'm not able to disclose the specifics, but I hope you can bring my mom back to Massey Residence. Willow will follow you."
He was going to start dealing with Jerry. The only way he could act worry-free was to ensure his family's safety.
In addition, he intended to use this chance to mend his parents' relationship.
When Denzel heard that, he thought he had misheard. Logan would be pleased if he could have Sherry back.
With some eagerness, he inquired, "Alright! When can I take Mrs. Massey back?"
"Let's wait until nightfall. Remember, we have to keep this under wraps. Nobody, not even the Masseys, can know my mom's whereabouts!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Caspian! But you must be careful. Jerry, that bastard, has a lot more authority now," Denzel advised.
"I'm aware. I'll bring my mom back when I've dealt with Jerry," Caspian replied gravely.
He was confident Denzel would grant his request because he was loyal to Logan.
"In that case, I'll wait outside. Please instruct me at a later time. I'll take Mrs. Massey and Ms. Willow to leave Southlake City first."
Sherry overheard Caspian and Denzel's conversation. She asked, "Caspian, is there any danger? Why do you want me to go to Massey Residence?"
"There's no danger, Mom. I just want you and Willow to go there. Don't worry, I've made arrangements. Nobody is going to bother you." Caspian grinned.
Sherry nodded, but she was still a little bewildered. Even so, she was aware that Caspian would be very concerned about her presence.
If she went to Massey Residence, he wouldn't have any worries no matter what he did.
Before Willow left, she looked at Caspian reluctantly. The end of her menstrual cycle was near. But she had to leave him even though she had initially believed she could stay with him.
Sherry had been anticipating the growth of the "baby" in Willow's womb.
"Hubby, you must take me back quickly, or my fake pregnancy will be exposed." Willow buried her head in Caspian's chest as she whispered.
"Never fear. After I solve the problem, I'll come get you," Caspian stated.
"Why are you two behaving as though you're splitting up? It's not like you won't cross paths again!" Willow didn't get a chance to finish her sentence before Zoey and Miranda interrupted her and brought her into the car.
She believed that no one else needed to get involved in this matter. The plan was also top-secret. What if the other party wasn't trustworthy?
She hurriedly shut her mouth when Caspian glanced at her. He had considered things like this before.
"Avon," he called out.
"I'm here!" Avon got up right away and gave Caspian a salute.
"Do you remember Jett's appearance? The next step is for you to access the King's residence by posing as Jett."
When Caspian was done talking about his idea, there was a period of stunned silence. Avon was surprised by Caspian's audacious notion.
"But Lord Caspian, I'm not skilled in disguise! If I'm recognized, our plan will be discovered!"
Avon felt a little ashamed. He had no fear of dying. All he was concerned about was the plan being exposed.
"Since you're aware of the significance, recall Jett's behavior carefully. He has a high status. Pretending to be him is the only way you can get into the King's residence," Caspian explained.
When Avon heard that, he could only concur. Thankfully, his senses remained keen. He had a rough idea of Jett's habits after recalling them.
"Laina, can you have the people lurking in Skyarch Palace obtain Jett's background and information?" Caspian enquired.
Avon had to be aware of Jett's habits and conduct to impersonate him. If any information was missing, Avon might be exposed.
"No problem! I'll set everything up right now!" Laina got to her feet and left the living room.
