His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 147

After taking a deep breath, Faithe fixed her gaze, rolled her eyes, and scoffed, "Eliza, if you weren't flaunting your title as Mrs. Welton, do you really think you'd get invited to these kinds of social events? Mr. Casper is treating this meeting with utmost importance. If you mess up his business deal, you know the consequences."

"Slap."

A sharp smack landed on Faithe's face. She touched her stinging left cheek, staring at Eliza in disbelief. "You hit me?"

Faithe was just a secretary. Casper could threaten Eliza, but a mere secretary had no right. Who did Faithe think she was?

"I'm warning you, Faithe, if you ever talk to me in this tone again, I'll hit you again." Eliza glared at the face she had just slapped red. "Remember, I am still Mrs. Welton. Show some respect."

"You..."

"Go back and tell Mr. Casper that if he wants me to attend the social event, he should come personally." She shot a cold glance at Faithe. "You're not qualified to act that way. Get lost."

"Fine, I'll have Mr. Casper come to you personally then. And when he's furious, you'll regret it."

Faithe stormed off, fuming.

Eliza's good mood was ruined. She felt drained.

Later that evening, Robin's doctor called her, explaining in detail the treatment process for his condition.

"Ms. Eliza, Mr. Robin needs the most advanced medication available, and the entire course will cost about a million dollars. Ms. Chelsea has already paid a deposit of two hundred thousand, but that's far from enough. I'm calling you today to ask you to raise the money as soon as possible to avoid interrupting or delaying the treatment."

A million dollars was an astronomical amount for Eliza. Even though Chelsea had already contributed two hundred thousand, gathering the remaining balance seemed as daunting as climbing Everest.

However, not going through the treatment wasn't an option either. This was Robin's last hope.

"Doctor, give me three days. I'll bring the money to you."
