Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 584 Offended The Xanth Family

Jonathan was lost in thought as he gazed at Rose.

Finley noticed his mesmerized expression and raised an eyebrow. However, some matters needed to be addressed, and he reluctantly had to snap Jonathan out of it.

"Should we take additional measures to ensure Mrs. Finch's safety tonight?" he asked, carefully choosing his words.

While Carl had made his move, seemingly targeting Ezra, Lizzie's true target had always been Rose.

"What is Lizzie planning to do to Mrs. Finch?" he wondered.

Connecting the dots between Ezra and Lizzie, Finley began to suspect something sinister. His face darkened at the thought. If his guess were correct, Lizzie's intentions would be truly evil.

He glanced at Jonathan, only to be startled by the icy expression on his face. Jonathan said nothing, but the cold and menacing aura he radiated spoke volumes.

In Eleanor's study, Jonathan retrieved the box containing the Lindisfarne Gospels. When he returned to the hall, everyone's attention shifted toward him and the box he carried. It was clear that whatever was inside held immense value.

As everyone recalled Eleanor's mention of a "token of gratitude," the purpose of this item finally clicked. The gift had been meticulously prepared in advance, and even the display of Lizzie's calligraphy served as a prelude to its presentation. "What could be inside the box?" they wondered.

"Jonathan, hurry. Show the gift to Mr. Xanth," Eleanor urged enthusiastically.

Jonathan approached Elijah and carefully opened the box. As the scroll was unveiled, Eleanor eagerly introduced it.

"Mr. Xanth, this is the original Lindisfarne Gospels manuscript. I've heard you appreciate calligraphy, and since this rare piece has been in the Finch family's collection. I thought it would be the perfect gift for your generous gesture. I hope you won't find it lacking." No one could refuse a masterpiece like this.

The crowd couldn't help but marvel at the Finch family's wealth and influence. The calligraphy was worth billions, and they were willing to offer it as a token of gratitude. Surely, this was a gift that would resonate with Elijah.
