Chapter 596 The Birthmark On The Back Of Her Waist

In that fleeting moment of panic, many noticed Lizzie's reaction, including Cyrus.

"Lizz, you and him..." Cyrus tried to resist the influence of Clover's words but couldn't help wanting a clear answer.

"Cyrus-" Lizzie had already prepared her explanation, but Clover didn't give her the chance to voice it.

With a faint, mocking smile, Clover said, "If I were her, even if there was something shady going on, I'd still say there wasn't."

He was obviously implying that Lizzie's words couldn't be trusted.

Cyrus' brow furrowed deeply, an unmistakable crease forming as he felt an unsettling agreement with Clover's suspicion. He looked down at Carl, who was kneeling on the floor.

In his mind, Carl was just a bodyguard from the Azure Clan, yet the man seemed to be everywhere.

Suddenly, a feeling of dread welled up in Cyrus' chest, and he didn't dare to ask further. Just as he wavered, Carl broke the silence. "I'm sorry, Mr. Finch."

Cyrus stiffened. "What is Carl apologizing for? What could he possibly feel sorry about?" he wondered.

With a darkened expression, he listened as Carl continued, "I like Lizzie... no, I love her. I love her even more than you do, but why..."

Carl's tone dripped with bitterness as if he had suffered a great, irreparable blow.

"Carl!" Lizzie could no longer contain herself. She glared viciously at Carl. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

This was utter madness! If he exposed their relationship now, the consequences would be disastrous.

Before she could even process the possible fallout, Carl let out a bitter laugh. "Nonsense? Lizz, you know how much I love you. I've done everything for you, and anything you asked..." But what was he in her eyes?

"Carl!" Lizzie gritted her teeth and clenched her fists as her facade of composure crumbled.
