His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 730

He flashed a smile, an apologetic glint in his eyes. "Actually, there's something I need to apologize for."

"Apologize?" Eliza looked puzzled.

"That whole scandal last time blew way out of proportion, and it dragged you into it..." He sounded genuinely remorseful, feeling like he had pulled Eliza into a mess. "...I'm really sorry about that."

Truth be told, she had seen Gabe's social media posts. He hadn't confirmed any romance with Allysha, so there was no third-party drama or affair. She hadn't really worried about it.

"Don't worry about it, the Falconridge paparazzi are always like that."

"How about I take you out for dinner? Do you have some time?" His smile remained warm and sincere. "Plus, we could chat about the potential collaboration between Grand Expo and Crystal Clear."

At the mention of Grand Expo, Eliza's eyes widened in surprise. "Wait... you're involved with Grand Expo? Seriously, are you in charge of it?"

"Kind of. Our company bid for your company's new product showcase, and I heard Crystal Clear is already keen to collaborate, so..." He met her astonished gaze, his eyes crinkling with amusement. "...would Ms. Eliza do me the honor of having dinner with me?"

"This is such a coincidence, I never saw it coming." She was both shocked and curious, completely caught off guard. "Well, we definitely need to discuss the project, Mr. Gillum."

"Let's make it happen."

Gabe kindly opened the car door for Eliza. She smiled and gracefully slid into the seat.

"Took a few." The agent handed over the phone. "Check them out."

The photos weren't the best—blurry and poorly angled—but they were enough to upset Casper. "Send them to Casper anonymously."

She wasn't going to be the only one feeling sick.

"Is this really okay?" The agent hesitated, wary of causing a stir.

Allysha scoffed, "Casper's a man. No man would be okay seeing his wife hop into another guy's car, laughing and chatting, and still manage to smile about it."
