His Destructive, Toxic Love

Casper's gaze turned icy in an instant. Aaron seemed to understand Eliza better than he did.

"How could she not bear to part with it?" A chill burst from the depths of Casper's eyes. "Eliza was arrested, and you must be heartbroken, right? Let me tell you, she wanted to kill Nova and spent a hundred grand hiring someone to set a fire. This is an undeniable fact."

Aaron still couldn't believe it. Sure, Eliza despised Nova, but from what he knew of her, she'd rather leave Casper than kill someone.

Could it be...?

"Do you have any evidence for this?"

"The police already arrested her. What more evidence do you need?" Casper's cold eyes stared directly at Aaron. "You seem very distressed."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"And what about you?"

Aaron never believed Casper was heartless. But time and again, as he treated Eliza with cold indifference, Aaron couldn't help but think Casper truly was ruthless.

"I'll believe what the police say," Casper said coldly.

Aaron scoffed, "She was with you for two years. You..."

"It seems you are really distressed." Casper's tone was mocking, his eyes cold. "You better not try to save her. If she made a mistake, she should be punished."

"Did she really make a mistake though?" Aaron was emotional, his eyes red. "If she really did, I have nothing to say... But is the truth you want the same as the truth in your heart?"

Casper's face darkened. What was the truth he believed? From the look in Casper's eyes, Aaron saw something he didn't want to accept.

Aaron shook his head, his voice filled with helplessness and sorrow. "You should really think about this. From the moment you two started arguing about divorce until now, have you treated her right?"

Even Aaron, an outsider, never doubted Eliza's character. Yet Casper, who shared a bed with Eliza for over seven hundred nights, kept insisting she was the arsonist. Nova was the victim, and he unconditionally took a stand against Eliza?

At this point, there was no need for further words.

After Aaron left, Casper returned to Nova's hospital room. Her eyes had regained some sight, but her leg was still in a cast.

"Casper, Dr. Martin came over. What did he want to talk about?"

"The fire at your place," he replied tersely.

Nova let out a sigh, her eyes slightly drooping sadly. "The police said it was Eliza who hired someone. know she doesn't like me, but never expected she would go as far as wanting me dead."

"Do you also think it makes sense for her to do this?"

He watched Nova's eyes. Nova avoided his gaze. "At first, I didn't believe it either, but the police... they couldn't be lying, right?"

The police couldn't be lying. But could someone else be lying? His gaze lingered on Nova's trembling lashes for a long time.

Casper left the hospital room and

coat

unbuttoned his collar, and irritably lit a cigarette.

"Marian."

Heed the cigarette from his

lips, holding it between his fingers.

"I need to ask you, what happened when Nova got hurt with the knife last time?" Casper's gaze was uncompromising.

Marian's heart pounded; she swallowed hard. "Sir, didn't Ms. Nova say... it was Mrs. Welton... who hurt her?" "Were you there?"

Marian felt a tightening in her chest. Of course, she was there and knew that Eliza had not stabbed Nova.
