His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 567

In the blink of an eye, Eliza had been in France for over three months. Ever since she touched down, she couldn't shake the feeling that someone was shadowing her every time she stepped out. This sensation had intensified over the last month. Yet, whenever she spun around to catch a glimpse, there was never a suspicious soul in sight. Could it be Manuel? She wondered what he was up to these days. If he'd been let out, it wasn't completely out of the question.

With these thoughts swirling in her mind, she decided to call Dillon. "Hey, Dillon."

"Ms. Eliza," Dillon glanced at Casper beside him and switched the phone to speaker mode, "What's up?"

"He's still under police watch. No need to stress."

"That's a relief."
