His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Casper stayed quiet, his face looking like a storm was brewing.

Caroline's expression turned stern as she pressed on, "You really need to chill out and put your energy into Welton International. We don't need Dad's illegitimate kids circling around like vultures, ready to pounce on this goldmine. And another thing..." Caroline wasn't one to lecture, especially knowing Casper's temper, but some things just couldn't be ignored. "You know how much pain Mom's been through. If you're gonna turn into Dad, just divorce Eliza now. Save her from becoming another woman like Mom."

"It's none of your business," he snapped, loosening his tie in frustration. "Now that you're back, you must keep an eye on Welton International and spend more time with Mom. She needs it." "You've changed."

Casper used to be arrogant and stubborn, sure, but he was always fair. Now, what had he become? A twisted mess.

When did this happen? Was it after he married Eliza? Over these past two years...

Caroline, being a woman, couldn't bear to think about what Eliza had endured.
