His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 717

"I didn't, Cole, you've got it all wrong. How could I ever be chasing after someone else? I was just here to clear my mind with Ice, you can ask her." Kate was clutching her head, pleading desperately.

From where Eliza stood, she could see that Kate's face and body were covered in bruises, and blood had seeped through her pajamas in several places. Daniel must have been absolutely livid to lash out like that.

"You came here to clear your mind but ended up in Casper's bed?" Daniel's grip on the belt was tight, his face twisted with rage. "Damn, having your cake and eating it too, playing me? We'll see if you can get away with that."

The sound of the belt hitting flesh made Eliza's skin crawl, sending a shiver down her spine. Casper quickly covered her eyes and led her away. "Don't look."

"Daniel seems really angry," Eliza remarked, her voice tinged with worry for Kate. "Do you think he could actually kill her?"

To Casper, hitting was just a way to blow off steam and issue a warning. At Daniel's age, he might think about divorce in a moment of heat. But when faced with betrayal, he wouldn’t hold back.

"I think Kate will probably vanish from Falconridge after this," Casper said, as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

Eliza looked puzzled. "Why?"

The best way to deal with celebrities was to freeze them out. But Daniel didn't have that kind of power, did he? Casper knew the ways of men well, but he didn't want Eliza to.

"What I mean is, because of this, Daniel probably won't go through with a divorce."

Eliza was baffled. What did he mean by that? Was marriage something he could just end or continue on a whim? She wondered if Renee would take Daniel back. If it were her, and Casper cheated, she'd never give him a second chance. Once trust was broken, it was broken for good.

"Let's go grab some dinner."
