His Destructive, Toxic Love
Chapter 95

"Mrs. Welton, please, take it easy." Faithe tried to push Eliza away. Instead, Eliza shoved her back forcefully. "Get away from me."

Tears welled up in Eliza's eyes, a torrent of pain breaking free. She glared at Casper standing in front of her with utter despair. "Why, Casper, just why?"

He gripped her flailing hands tightly, his eyes cold and unyielding. "Why? You seriously don't know why? Don't you realize what you've done? Eliza, you admitted it yourself-you slept with him." Casper pointed a finger at Aaron, who stood across the room.

Aaron was taken aback. "Casper, what on earth are you talking about?"

"Am I lying?" Casper dragged Eliza over to Aaron. "Ask her if she didn't say you two slept together. Aaron, I considered you a brother, and you slept with my wife?"

"I would never do something like that." Aaron was firm, bewildered that Eliza would joke about such a thing. "There has to be a misunderstanding. You know Eliza."

Casper wasn't interested in Aaron's explanations. He grabbed Eliza by the back of her head, forcing her to look at Aaron. "Eliza, the ultimate expression of love is to go down together. Let's start with your mom accompanying your so-called love."

With a violent shove, he pushed Eliza into Aaron's arms.

Aaron quickly steadied Eliza and straightened himself up, his voice filled with indignation. "Casper, this is going too far. Do you think you can just say these things lightly? What you're doing is beyond cruel. Even if you and Eliza are fighting, her mom is still your mother-in-law."

"If she saw me as her man, she wouldn't be fooling around with you." Casper's face twitched with rage as he stare at Eliza. "This is just the beginning."

The beginning?

All because she had been coerced into a lie, and now his revenge was relentless.

Looking at his striking face, she let

out a bitter laugh. She had never- hated anyone so much; she

despised her own helplessness and weakness even more.

She forced herself to swallow her tears, suppressing the anguish surging inside, and approached Casper once more. "Will you only stop if I die?" Her voice was barely a whisper, as fragile as ash.

Aaron shivered at her words, but Casper was eerily calm, a mocking smirk curling on his lips. That smirk was full of disdain, contempt, and scorn. He knew she had too many ties; dying wouldn't be so easy.

He didn't give Eliza an answer. Turning on his heel, he walked away.

Faithe hurried after him, "Mr. Casper..."

Just as she caught up, Casper swung around and delivered a sharp, heavy slap. "Who told you to cancel the project with the overseas client?" Faithe saw stars, her eyes filling with tears of humiliation. She had acted on her own, believing it was inevitable. "Mr. Casper, I just thought..." "From now on, if you dare decide anything on your own again without my orders, you can pack your things and go." "I... I understand."

Faithe, clutching her swollen cheek, trailed after Casper as he left.

Back in the office, Aaron handed Eliza a tissue. "Even if the project is terminated, and the medication stops, I'll replace another way. Don't stress too much. I won't let your mom just slip away."

Eliza gave Aaron a grateful look. Then, her gaze dropped in despair. "You sawit, Casper's a madman. I'm really scared he'll come after you too. If that happens, I'd never forgive myself. I don't want to drag anyone else down with me."
