Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 454 When She's Ready

Lizzie cried in self-reproach. "It's my fault for not telling Claire to close the door, otherwise Ezra wouldn't have stumbled in. Those photos were your only memories of Nancy but now..."

Destroyed! She was pleased that the photos were destroyed! Without those photos, Cyrus could only remember Nancy in his memories, but how long could he remember? Memories would eventually fade until he could no longer recall Nancy's face. "It's not your fault." Cyrus snapped back to reality. Lizzie's understanding and generosity made him feel guilty.

For years, Lizzie had been by his side and was attentive to his needs. He shouldn't be thinking of someone from the past anymore.

Cyrus looked at Lizzie and asked a question he had never asked before. "Do you regret marrying me?"

Regret? How could she possibly regret it? Everything she had done back then, open and in secret, was to seize the opportunity to marry him.

Lizzie shook her head. "I only regret not having done my best when you had me take care of Nancy. Nancy..."

Was Lizzie still blaming herself even after all these years? Cyrus reached out.

When Lizzie leaned in, he gripped her hands in his palm and said, "It's not your fault. I'm responsible for her death. If I had agreed to the divorce when she asked, she and Ezra would still be doing fine."

Lizzie remained silent. He would never know what she had done to him and Nancy back then. Lizzie managed to appease Cyrus with just a few words, but deep in her heart, Rose lingered.

At dawn when Cyrus was asleep, Lizzie slipped out of the room and went to a secluded spot in the Finch Manor garden. She dialed a number.

"You must know Rose well! I want to know Rose's weakness. You'll tell me, won't you?" Lizzie squinted.

Though her words were phrased as a question, her tone left no room for objection. It was as if she was sure that the person on the other end wouldn't disappoint her.

"I know her better than anyone else!" The woman's voice on the other end was filled with undisguised hatred at the mention of Rose.

She hissed, almost gritting her teeth, "Rose's biggest weakness is her mother!"
