His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 56

"Don't say that. You're still the lady of this house, and Mr. Welton, well, he's just... lost his mind for a moment."

Eliza had long stopped caring. She didn't come back to this house for a life of luxury.

"Marian, could you bring me the footbath?"

Marian handed the prepared footbath to Eliza. "Be careful, ma'am."

Eliza carried the footbath over to Nova. She knelt down. "Here, your feet bath."

Nova looked awkwardly at Casper. "Casper, this isn't right. How can we let Eliza serve me like this? Let Marian do it."

"It’s alright."

"Casper, this is inappropriate." Nova's face showed discomfort, but there was a sneer on her lips that only Eliza could see.

"I'll go handle some work." Casper went upstairs.

As soon as he left, Nova's demeanor changed instantly. She put her feet into the basin, and the moment she touched the water, she screamed and kicked the basin over.

"Eliza, what are you trying to do? You wanna burn my feet?"

Water splashed all over Eliza. She clenched the basin, her grip tightening.

Nova smirked triumphantly. "If you want to serve me, then do it properly. Go get more water."

Eliza said nothing. She changed the water and brought it back again.

Nova put her feet into the water once more, and without even a second's delay, she kicked it over again. "This water is freezing! Is this for soaking feet? Eliza, you did this on purpose."

Eliza lifted her cool gaze to Nova. "Are you going to soak your feet or not?"

"What right do you have to tell me what to do? If I want to soak my feet, you have to keep bringing me water." She toyed with her crimson nails. "If you dare to displease me, I'll ensure Casper gives you what you deserve."
