Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 594 Do You Want Proof

No one in the room seemed to believe Lizzie's words. Even Cyrus, who stood by her side, felt a growing sense of unease gnawing at him. Despite this, he quickly regained his composure and spoke up for Lizzie before anyone else could respond. "Mom, Lizz was with me the entire time—" "Hah..." A soft chuckle interrupted him before he could finish.

Cyrus turned to Ezra, only to meet his cold, icy gaze. Anger flared within him. "Ezra-"

"Ezra, tell us. What happened?" Eleanor cut in, completely ignoring Cyrus' anger.

After being interrupted again, Cyrus' face darkened, but no one cared about his frustration at this point.

Although Jonathan had been with Rose in the greenhouse, everyone's initial assumption had involved Ezra.

"I was brought back to the Finch Manor for what I thought would be a grand reunion, only to discover it was a trap." Ezra's tone was thick with sarcasm.

"Who brought him back?" Eleanor thought as her gaze swiftly turned to Cyrus, but before she could speak, Cyrus interjected, his face a picture of innocence.

"I... Ezra, what do you mean? What trap are you talking about? I asked you to come back because it's Lizzie's birthday, and I wanted the whole family to gather. That's why I came to pick you up-" "Trap? What trap are you talking about?" Eleanor's voice rose, cutting through Cyrus' protest.

She wasn't interested in excuses. Not even from her own son.

Ezra lowered his gaze and vaguely recounted the day's events. He had been upstairs watching the banquet unfold when a server approached him, saying Jonathan had asked him to come to the greenhouse. Upon arriving, he discovered something amiss with his body, and instead of Jonathan, he encountered Rose.

Although Ezra's description was cryptic, everyone present could guess what he meant. Clearly, someone had orchestrated a plan to entangle Ezra and Rose together.

Considering Jonathan's devotion to Rose, even if they weren't married yet, one could only imagine what Jonathan would have done if something had truly happened between Ezra and Rose.

"Despicable! Absolutely despicable!" Eleanor thumped her walking stick against the floor, her fury evident.

Fortunately, the scheme had been thwarted. Otherwise...

Eleanor's face darkened as she imagined the potential fallout. If the plan had succeeded, it would have driven more than just a wedge between the brothers. The Xanth and Young families would never have allowed Rose to suffer such humiliation. The Finch family might reign supreme in Regalia, but the Xanth family's overseas power and wealth rivaled their own. Adding the Young family to the equation, the potential backlash would be immeasurable.
