Chapter 479 Stealing His Attention


Watching from the second floor, Lizzie revealed a smile.

"What happened?" Cyrus asked upon exiting from his art studio.

Sensing that he was behind her, Lizzie hid her smile and turned to him with a solemn and worried look. "Let's go check it out." They could bring her in while they were at it.

The pair descended the stairs and saw Yara and Bella, who were similarly startled by the loud sound. "It sounded like... a crash..." Yara commented as she turned toward the source of the sound.

Soon, Lizzie and Cyrus hurried outside. The two women locked eyes and followed the couple.

Holding up the collaboration agreement between the Finch and Lerain Groups, Eleanor was unperturbed by the booming sound as though she didn't hear it. Instead, she stared at the document and nodded in satisfaction. "You did a great job, Jon."

She was generous with her compliments. Undeniably, the Xanth family could be a huge stepping stone for Finch Group to expand its overseas market.

"I'll go see what happened, Grandma." Jonathan couldn't ignore the growing anxiety within him. He believed it had something to do with that crash he had heard.

Eleanor heard him but was unbothered. "What's there to see? Just let Anna handle it."

Her abundant life experiences made her apathetic toward minor things like this. All she cared about at that moment was this collaboration!
