Chapter 557 Manuel's roar was like nails on a chalkboard to Eliza, but it also made a few things click in her mind. There was this stunning island, a real postcard kind of place, developed by Welton International. It was a tourist hotspot, only reachable by boat, and every summer, it drew in crowds like bees to honey.

Manuel was bringing up a tragic incident that had made headlines. It all started with a boat trip to the island that went horribly wrong due to sshoddy handling. Despite the rescue efforts that followed, all four tourists and the driver ended up drowning. The whole of Falconridge was shaken to its core back then. Turns out, those four who drowned were Manuel's family. But what did any of this have to do with Casper? "So you're laying this all on Casper's shoulders?" If that was the case, it painted Manuel as someone with a serious grudge.

"Why shouldn't I?" His fury was practically a physical force, causing Eliza to instinctively step back. "What does this have to do with Casper? No one wanted this to happen." "How can it not be related? If Welton International hadn't hired an unqualified operator, the boat wouldn't have capsized, and my family would still be alive. So tell me, shouldn't I hold him accountable?" Eliza felt a chill run down her spine. Manuel was holding Casper responsible, but why was he targeting her? When they first met, she was already planning to divorce Casper. Why go through all this trouble to get close to her? "Did you use our blind date as part of your plan?" She didn't need him to confirm it; she already knew. But did he really think using her, someone about to divorce Casper, would hurt Casper? "Manuel, you want Casper to lose his family, to make him suffer. But think about it, for someone like him with money to burn, there's always someone new to take his mind off things He's not going to lose sleep over an ex-wife. Even if I and the kids were gone, he'd just move on. Plus, he's already died in a plane crash, and you're still coming after me? How is that revenge?" Manuel's brand of revenge didn't add up to her. Was he so consumed by hatred that he couldn't see straight? Manuel laughed, a sound that sent shivers down her spine. Casper's death wasn't a shock to him. Casper's negligence led to his family's deaths at sea, so Manuel saw to it that Casper died in the sky.

"The crash happened because the pilot messed up, and that pilot was in my pocket," he revealed.

Eliza felt like the world had just crumbled around her. Her mind went blank, and without thinking, she slapped Manuel hard, turning his face sharply to the side.

"You dare hit me?" His eyes blazed with untouchable anger.

Eliza's heart pounded in her chest, her eyes full of a hatred that Om threatened to tear him apart. "Manuel, you're unbelievably cruel."

"Cruel? I'm just giving him a taste of my pain." Even with Casper gone, m Manuel's hatred hadn't budged an inch He gripped her chin fiercely "And just because he's dead doesn't mean you and your kids have it easy."

Tears streamed down Eliza's face, leaving salty trails of her skin.
