Chapter 597 A Taste Of Success

The mockery in Jonathan's gaze felt like a hard slap on Lizzie's face. It felt like she had been brought back to that one night many years ago. It hit her hard.

Jonathan's gaze merely swept past her. He didn't even bother to take a proper look as all his attention focused solely on the woman beside him.

Jonathan held onto Rose's hand, guiding her to sit next to him. He couldn't even stand the gap between them, prompting him to wrap his arms around her waist and pull her closer.

He was only satisfied once she was pressed closely against him. Jonathan didn't care about the other people at all.

Rose's face was already flushed, but her cheeks grew even hotter after Jonathan did all that. She was baffled by how inappropriate he could be in public.

She frowned at him in disapproval. He, however, was unfazed.

For a long time, she preferred to keep their relationship low-profile. She didn't even let him hold her hand in front of others, treating him almost like a secret lover. But now that everyone knew they were married, he could publicly show her affection. Lizzie quietly observed their interaction, but inside, her emotions were in turmoil.

"Cyrus, what are you going to do about this?" Eleanor wanted to gauge Cyrus's stance on the matter.

Cyrus was already humiliated by the fact that he had been cheated on. He wanted to hear what Lizzie had to say about it.

"Lizz"

"Ha ha ha ha ha..." Cyrus was interrupted as Lizzie suddenly laughed. Her laughter lacked her usual grace, and it made Cyrus uncomfortable.

"Carl and I are together." Surprisingly, Lizzie stopped defending herself and simply admitted it.

Cyrus looked shocked at first, but his expression quickly darkened.

Carl was stunned for a moment. He never expected her to just admit it. He thought she would deny everything between them.
