Chapter 548 Letting Go

Cyrus' voice made Lizzie pause. She couldn't let him discover her actions. Composing herself immediately, she furrowed her brows, maintaining her usual gentle and delicate demeanor. She sighed. "I don't know what's come over me today. I've been so restless. And just look at the mess I've made in the study. I'll clean it up right away."

She put down her pen and was about to start tidying up when Cyrus stopped her.

"Don't worry about it. You must be exhausted. Perhaps you didn't sleep well last night," he said with concern, guiding her to sit down.

"Just rest for a while and let the helpers handle this. The manor called earlier, saying they needed to talk to you, but don't worry about it. Whatever it is, I'll take care of it."

Cyrus helped Lizzie settle onto the couch, determined not to let anything else trouble her. However, upon hearing that the manor needed her for something, Lizzie immediately stood up. "Does Mom need me? You said the manor called, right? I'll call back right now and check," Lizzie said, her devotion to matters of the manor unwavering despite her unease. Before Cyrus could stop her, she moved to make the call. Seeing how she was still so attentive to the manor's matters despite not feeling well made Cyrus feel deeply moved.

It wasn't until she picked up the phone that he quickly said, "The manor called the downstairs phone, and Anna's still on the line."

Lizzie paused mid-dial. "Alright. I'll take the call downstairs then."

Giving Cyrus a soft smile, she left the room and headed downstairs. Even while conversing with Anna, she remained poised and courteous.

Upon hearing from Anna that Eleanor wished for her return to the Finch Manor, Lizzie agreed without hesitation and said she would leave immediately.

After changing her clothes and freshening up her makeup, she set off. Half an hour later, she arrived at the Finch Manor.

In the study, Eleanor didn't waste time getting to the point. "This is the invitation to tonight's event at Lerain Group. The Xanth family specifically requested my presence, and I'd like to prepare a gift."

"A gift?" Lizzie thought. She had been in the Finch family long enough to understand the underlying message in Eleanor's words.
