His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Eliza's expression turned icy. "Ms. Susan, you can check my identity with your fiancé. Now, kindly step aside."

"Hmph." Susan let out a scoff, crossing her arms over her chest, her eyes brimming with scorn as they bore into Eliza. "Ex-wives are the most revolting creatures. You're divorced; can't you just stay away? What are you even after?"

"That's enough."

Casper's voice cut through the air, sharp and angry.

Instead of backing down, Susan's temper flared even more at Casper's displeasure. She turned her fury on him. "Casper, secretly meeting up with your ex-wife and you think you're in the right? My father gave you a marina, not for me to come here and deal with this crap." Eliza was taken aback.

The Torres family sure knew how to make a statement, offering a marina as a dowry.

If she were in Casper's shoes, she'd probably put up with Susan too, given how much the other side valued the marriage. After all, such a union was a win-win for both parties.

She needed to get out of this mess, fast.

Suddenly, a force yanked her from behind...

Susan had grabbed Eliza's arm and pulled her back violently.

Eliza lost her balance, her body teetering backward.

A flicker of panic crossed Susan's eyes, fearing Eliza might actually fall. She quickly stepped aside.
