His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

"I..." Mae stammered, her face shifting from pale to flushed, unable to meet anyone's eyes.

Casper clenched his teeth, glaring fiercely at the two women before him.

"Dillon, take Aunt Mae to the reflection room and let her think about what she's done. Get Katie in the car," he commanded.

"Casper, I'm your aunt! You can't do this to me!" Mae cried out in despair.

She knew what that place was like. Despite its name, the reflection room was a pitch-dark, filthy place crawling with snakes, bugs, and all sorts of vermin. It was downright terrifying. Rumor had it that it was haunted; people who went in either went mad or never came out.

Mae backed away in fear.

Several men stepped forward, each grabbing one of Mae's arms, and dragged her off.

With Mae gone, Katie started sobbing, clutching her head. "It wasn't me, don't take me away, please don't take me away."

"Miss Wang, if you make a mistake, you need to own up to it. Hiding like a scared turtle isn't going to work."

Dillon grabbed Katie by the collar, showing no sympathy.

"It was Mae who used the drugs, not me. I just supplied them, but I wasn't the one who harmed anyone. It really wasn't me," Katie pleaded, her eyes trembling with fear. Even her fingertips quivered uncontrollably.

If Dillon hadn't been holding her, she might have fallen to her knees before Casper.
