His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 241

Eliza's fingers slid reluctantly across the screen, but she still ended up showing her contact info to Casper.

In a flash, a million dollars landed in her account. The whole transaction took just three seconds.

Casper tucked his phone away, a satisfied, calm smile playing on his lips. He unlocked the car and gestured for her to leave. “I'll be here to pick you up tomorrow on time. Have a great day.”

During her three years away from Falconridge, she'd gained her freedom but lost the chance to visit Robin.

It had been ages since she last saw Robin. She wanted to see him to check on how his treatment was going.

Casper had her right where he wanted her.

The next morning, sunlight seeped through the gaps in the curtains, casting mottled shadows on Eliza's face.

She dressed carefully, opting for a pair of black-framed glasses. These glasses acted like shields, making even the prettiest face look plain and unremarkable. Even someone familiar would become hard to recognize with them on.

Sitting in Casper's car, Eliza stared straight ahead, not glancing around.

Casper, looking effortlessly relaxed, turned his head to her.

After a moment.

“Ms. Valerie, are you feeling nervous?”

She glanced back at him nonchalantly. “I just didn't sleep well. There’s nothing to be nervous about.”

Her eyes were cold. Casper even thought he saw a hint of hatred. He raised his hands in surrender, that ambiguous smile still lingering. “I’m not getting a kick out of your past. Unless, Ms. Valerie, you think your past is a joke?”

“You…” Eliza’s face turned icy as she looked away. “please stop the car. I’m not going.”

Casper’s voice had a teasing hint of regret. “That’s really too bad. My friend will be disappointed today. I told him a woman who looks a lot like his sister was coming to paint his portrait. He even put on new clothes and was ready to cooperate with you.”

Eliza turned her head slowly to look at Casper. He was smiling intriguingly and seemed like a madman.

He looked like a devil who found joy in others’ pain.

“It’s fine. Ms. Valerie, if you feel I’ve offended you, you can get out of the car right now.” Casper raised his eyebrows, clearly not insisting.
