His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 654

"Mmm."

Under the warm sun, a soft breeze playfully lifted her dark hair. In that peaceful moment, she found herself truly savoring it.

As they dismounted from the horse, he carefully lifted her down, his hands gently gripping her waist. With a lingering affection, he kissed her lips once more. "In a few days, I'll take you to see the Northern Lights."

"I'm really busy, Mr. Casper. Maybe another time," she replied, her schedule already packed solid through next year.

Casper felt a pang of disappointment, turning into a bit of a lovesick puppy. "I just want a real relationship with you."

"Got a case of love fever, Mr. Casper?" she said, a hint of exasperation in her voice.

He nodded eagerly, "Mmm."

"Too much love can get old, you know."

He bent down, nuzzling into her neck. "I just want to cozy up with you."

Eliza thought to herself, This is so cheesy.

As they walked over, Dillon handed Eliza a glass of freshly squeezed juice. "Ma'am, this juice is fresh."

"Dillon, you're so thoughtful." She looked up to see Caroline also dismounting and heading their way. "Did you get one for my sister too?"

"She doesn't like it."

Doesn't like it? Eliza's brow furrowed slightly.

Seeing this, Dillon sprang into action, delivering a precise kick to the attacker, knocking her to the ground. The woman staggered back, falling clumsily. She clenched her teeth in rage, reaching for a second bottle of the same liquid.

But this time, she was too slow. Before she could unscrew the cap, Caroline had swiftly thrown a coat over her head, blinding her. Panicked and disoriented, she tried to escape but lost her sense of direction. Quick as a flash, Dillon grabbed a rope, tying her up securely.

Once the attacker was subdued, Dillon turned his attention back to Casper, taking in the damage on his back. It wasn’t hard to guess what the corrosive liquid was. Casper’s back was in bad shape, a chilling sight that needed urgent medical care.

Eliza, still shaken from the terrifying ordeal, followed the ambulance to the hospital, her heart racing.

Dillon, looking at the woman with the coat over her head, lifted it. He pulled down her mask, his eyes widening in disbelief. "How could it be you?"

Seeing the woman's face, Caroline was just as shocked. Had she lost her mind?
