His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

The painting was unmistakably of Eliza.

Casper mentioned its special significance to someone, but who could he mean? The assistant was utterly perplexed.

Eliza, however, seemed to get it right away. The so-called significance was just a casual comment from Nova, saying how much she liked it. Not wanting to make things difficult for the assistant, Eliza softly said, "If Mr. Casper likes it, let him have it." Then, she turned and walked away.

The assistant's lips twitched as if she wanted to say something, but she stayed silent. Eliza stepped out of the gallery and tightened her red scarf against the biting winter wind. Her heart felt heavy and damp. Online rumors were buzzing that Casper and Nova were set to get engaged in three months. Three months - not too long, but not short, either. Still, it gave her something to look forward to.

By the time Casper left the exhibition, Eliza was long gone. Dillon called him, revealing they had made progress in the investigation involving Eliza and Aaron's supposed hotel rendezvous. Back at the office, Dillon laid out all the details for Casper.

"All the journalists got the same message, claiming your wife and the Martin family's medical heir were secretly meeting in a hotel, complete with the room number. Both Ms. Eliza's and Dr. Martin's phones had similar messages. This seemed to be a deliberate plan."

Such an act had to be the work of either a business rival or someone wanting to wreck his marriage. Either way, it had caused damage to him and Welton International.
