His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 376

It all seemed to start because of her.

She was the root cause.

"David, I'm not going to the funeral," she said.

David's eyes widened in shock. "What? You're not coming to my dad's funeral? Eliza, that's not right, is it?"

"Why isn't it?" She hadn't expected such a strong reaction from David, as if he was seeing his own selfishness laid bare. "I've already done more than enough for him while he was alive, things I shouldn't have had to. Don't I have the right to skip the funeral?"

Eliza's voice was cool, almost icy.

Beneath that indifferent facade, her tone was anything but gentle.

David probably hadn't expected Eliza to react this way.

He frowned slightly. "Are you mad?"

Eliza didn't reply.

After a moment of silence, just as she was about to say something, David interrupted her again.

"At our engagement party, all our friends and family found out about our relationship. If you don't show up at the funeral, people will start talking. Funerals are already sad enough, and I really don't have the energy to explain to everyone why you weren't there."

Eliza frowned at the man standing before her.

What was he implying?

Did he want her to be sensible and play along for the last act?

She wasn't opposed to playing along for this last scene, but after it was over, would anyone appreciate her efforts?

Not a chance.

Even Amaya, who usually adored her, had started to blame her.
