His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 715

Casper just sat there, eyes narrowed, watching her without uttering a word.

Her eyes were red with urgency, and she blurted out, "Is Ms. Eliza... did she choke or something? I did all I could, don't hold it against me, please. In that moment, saving her life was all I could think of."

Even though Eliza was right there in the room, she heard every word Kate said loud and clear.

So, she threw herself into the river, just for Casper's benefit. Was she trying to play the hero, thinking she could make demands of Casper later? Kate sure had a few tricks up her sleeve.

"Casper, let Kate come in," Eliza's voice cut through the tension.

Casper paused briefly before stepping aside from the door. "Come on in, let's hear it."

"Ms. Eliza... oh, I mean, Mrs. Welton, I'm so relieved to see you're okay. My boat went out of control and crashed into yours, I was terrified, and I felt so guilty. I'm just glad you're alright."

Eliza's lips curved into a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Kate, you've got quite the acting chops, don't you? Quite the performance."
