Chapter 573 He Is Drawing Rose

Upon receiving the news about Elijah's attendance, Eleanor was so delighted that she couldn't sit still. She paced back and forth in the living room, murmuring excitedly, "Elijah is coming... Elijah is coming..." Her excitement was palpable. Suddenly, realization struck, causing her to halt mid-step. "Since he's attending, this birthday celebration must be nothing short of spectacular!"

The event needed to be lavish and exude the Finch family's deep-rooted influence. Only then could Elijah, their potential partner, truly grasp the strength and prestige of the family name. However, orchestrating such an affair would require meticulous planning and coordination.

Eleanor considered overseeing everything herself, but her age made the task challenging. Her first choice was Jonathan. However, she knew that this birthday banquet was meant to be in Lizzie's honor, and Jonathan had never accepted Lizzie as his stepmother. After carefully weighing her options, she decided on Cyrus. He would be the one to manage it all.

Having made her decision, Eleanor wasted no time. She immediately called Cyrus and summoned him to the manor.

An hour later, Cyrus and Lizzie arrived together.

"Lizzie's birthday banquet will be held at the manor," Eleanor announced, cutting straight to the point.

Both Cyrus and Lizzie were momentarily stunned. Though Lizzie had her own room at the manor after marrying Cyrus, they had always resided in a separate villa.

In all their years of hosting birthday celebrations, they had never once been held at the manor. It was always the villa.

When Eleanor mentioned hosting a birthday banquet for Lizzie yesterday morning, Cyrus had dismissed it as a passing thought. But now, it seemed that she was being serious.

"Cyrus, make sure to invite plenty of people and make it a lively occasion. The manor should be exquisitely decorated to reflect the Finch family's stature. As for Lizzie..." Eleanor cast a glance her way.

"What role could Lizzie play? There's no need for her to do anything, to be honest..." she mused.

However, since it was technically Lizzie's birthday banquet, Eleanor grudgingly found a way to involve her.
