His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Eliza didn't want to be a burden to anyone or cause any trouble.

"Let's just leave it at that."

"Leave what at that?" Renee glanced at Eliza, noticing the series of red marks on her neck and arms, her eyes narrowing with concern. "Is he abusing you? Did he hit you?" "No." Eliza lowered her gaze, trying to hide the emotions welling up inside.

Renee got it immediately. As a woman, how could she not understand?

"Divorce him, seriously. No matter how handsome or rich he is, you don't need that kind of man. I can help you find a lawyer."

Renee's words echoed Chelsea's.

Eliza felt a warmth in her heart. "Renee, my life with Casper... isn't really the best, but I can't leave him right now." "Why not? Marriage is a choice. If he doesn't want to split, take it to court. Are you worried he'll fight over the assets?" Eliza shook her head slightly. "It's not that."

Renee watched Eliza, who seemed hesitant to speak further. She got it; there were many things Eliza couldn't share. She sighed softly. "That day you came to our house, your hand was wrapped in bandages. I should've realized then."
