Eliza shot a frosty glare at Faithe and said, "Faithe, you're really dedicated to Casper, always putting Welton International first. If someone didn't know better, they'd think you were the lady of the house." "If you're upset about not getting that big bonus, I get it, but there's no need for this passive-aggressive attitude."

Faithe's face turned a bit awkward. If the land deal went through, she would indeed get a sizable bonus. She couldn't deny that part of her frustration came from this. But having Eliza, of all people, see through her motives was something she wouldn't admit. Even though Eliza was Casper's wife, Faithe believed she was superior to Eliza in every other way.

"Mrs. Welton, you're quite the joker. I've been with Mr. Casper for years, and Welton International feels like my own home. How could I not be concerned when there's trouble at home?"

Faithe stood up, repeating her usual line. "Mr. Casper is very busy and can't make time for you. If you need anything, call me. I gave you my card last time."

Eliza didn't say anything more.

Faithe shot her a disdainful look before heading out of the hospital room.

Just then, a nurse came in to administer Eliza's IV, stopping Faithe. "You need to stay. She needs someone to take care of her."

"Have the hospital arrange for a caregiver and add the cost to the bill," Faithe replied coldly, then left quickly.

The nurse couldn't help but protest, "How can you just leave her like this?"

Neither woman responded to the nurse.
