Chapter 600 Sister-In-Law Still Cares for Me

Lizzie looked at Cyrus, eager to wrap things up for the night. "Cyrus, I wronged you. I'll handle the divorce agreement. If you don't want to see me anymore, we can let the lawyers deal with everything." Then, Lizzie turned and walked away.

The moment she turned, Ezra anxiously looked at Jonathan, as if urging him to not let her leave.

Carl had taken all the blame. While Ezra wasn't sure about everything, he was certain that a lot of things Carl claimed about what happened to his mother weren't true.

Lizzie was the one... Jonathan met Ezra's gaze, trying to ease his concern.

Once Lizzie had disappeared, Jonathan stood up and took Rose's hand. "What a shame. The birthday banquet is now ruined..."

In the lobby, there was a huge cake that they didn't get to cut. Jonathan glanced at the cake. He was saying it was "a shame", but his face showed no hint of disappointment. Instead, he smirked mockingly. Cyrus noticed Jonathan's gaze and looked over as well. He had personally selected the cake because it featured elements of the art Lizzie liked.

He even brought Ezra over, hoping for a family gathering to clear up the misunderstandings that Jonathan and Ezra had about Lizzie.

He even planned on announcing that he would be moving abroad with Lizzie. But... Infidelity... Betrayal...

The surprise he intended for Lizzie was totally reserved. He ended up being the one receiving a "surprise" from her.

And Jonathan... Cyrus frowned, staring at Jonathan. "You knew all along?"

Jonathan's brows furrowed. Knew what? That Lizzie and Carl betrayed him? Or Lizzie's true nature? Or other secrets about Lizzie?

Jonathan met Cyrus's gaze without hesitation. "Yes. I knew all along. Shouldn't you have realized it too?"

Cyrus's expression froze. Jonathan was reminding him of what Lizzie had revealed on the rooftop in the surveillance footage from the Xanth family's banquet.

Right. He should've known too. But he chose to ignore everything and trust Lizzie, only to have reality slap him in the face.
