NovelEnglish"Mrs. Welton, if you steer clear of men who have untoward intentions towards you, I might reconsider the divorce," he whispered, his lips softly brushing against her neck.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEliza didn't believe him anymore. Hadn't he manipulated her countless times with his lies, making her obey and do things she didn't want to? "Casper, you're completely untrustworthy. I will never believe you again. Ever." His kisses stopped abruptly. "How am I untrustworthy? When have I ever broken a promise to you?" "You said you'd let Robin go, but then you had Nova call the police. Was that keeping your word? Not only did you break your promises, but you also encouraged Nova to plagiarize others' work. You're in cahoots with her. Why should I agree to anything you say now?" Casper was taken aback. He genuinely hadn't known about Nova calling the police beforehand. As for Nova plagiarizing someone else's work... Whose work was she accused of plagiarizing? "Clarify your accusation." "Don't play dumb." Eliza didn't want to elaborate. That design might as well have been trash. With Nova's posts online, it was highly unlikely Eliza could return to work. Even if she did, she'd be met with pointing fingers, rumors, and sheer disdain that would drown her. It wasn't worth fretting over. It was as disgusting as swallowing a fly.
Casper was incensed. Was he playing dumb? She dared to accuse him of pretending to be clueless? "Eliza, you're getting far too casual with your words. Have I given you too much leeway?" Casper only ever used his status, his position, and his power to oppress her. He knew she was afraid of these very things. Indeed, she was terrified. She was as insignificant as an ant entirely at others' mercy. "Mr. Casper, you never truly intended to divorce me, did you? Since that's the case, let's not pretend to discuss it any further." He had once resolved to let her go. But his male pride and deep-seated jealousy made him reconsider. He didn't love her but wanted her undying loyalty. Though her undying loyalty was no more, he still wanted to keep her tied to him. He attributed this to his obsession with her body, unwilling to let go of such beauty before he grew tired of it.
His slender fingertips gently touched her quivering tips. Her pupils trembled as she looked at him in shock. He suddenly smiled. "Don'te say that. I'm not playing dumb at all. If you put in seffort and makecomfortable in bed, handing over Welton International to you isn't out of the question." Why would she want Welton International? She couldn't bring herself to please him.
"Mr. Casper, maybe you should say that to Nova. She'd probably be more eager to please you than any hoooker."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNova already saw herself as Mrs. Welton. Would she be furious enough to spit blood if she knew Casper wasn't done playing with Eliza and wasn't ready to let her go to give Nova a title? Thinking this, Eliza felt oddly satisfied.
"You seem to misunderstand what a m wife's duties are," his voice was as cold as ice. She laughed hoarsely. "I am merely Mrs. Welton. I was never truly a wife."
Besides not being done with her body, Casper probably didn't want a divorce scandal during hiso subsidiary's IPO. He needed a woman by his side, and Eliza was nothing more than a cover for him.
