His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 741

The next day rolled around.

Eliza and Casper made their way downstairs from their bedroom, with plans to check out the scene later on. But first, breakfast was on the agenda. As they settled into the dining area, a familiar figure caught Eliza's eye... Gabe.

Eliza was momentarily taken aback. She had already told him not to come yesterday. Was there something urgent going on? Was it about her?

"Mr. Gillum," Eliza quickly approached Gabe, curiosity evident in her voice, "What brings you here? Is there something else?"

Gabe offered a warm, understated smile. "The incident happened at a convention center our company had previously scouted. I came by to see how things are."

Eliza took his word for it, but Casper wasn't so easily convinced. His eyes held a mix of suspicion and disapproval as he looked at Gabe.

"Mr. Gillum, you sure are dedicated, coming all the way here in the rain despite the chaos. Really admirable," Casper said, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

Gabe's demeanor remained calm, unbothered by Casper's mocking. "Small companies like ours have to stay on top of things, or we risk losing out on opportunities."

"We're heading to the site to take a look too. Want to come with?" Eliza invited.
