Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 648

"I clearly… I clearly love him so much," Lizzie burst into laughter as she said that.

Even though Rose had a slight suspicion earlier, she was still shocked when she heard it.

Lizzie loved Jonathan? But Lizzie was Jonathan's stepmother!

"Lizzie, shut up!"

This time, it wasn't Eleanor who told Lizzie to stop talking, but Cyrus.

Cyrus looked at Lizzie lying in the hospital bed. His eyes were filled with anger, disgust, and a mix of complex emotions. "You're insane! You lunatic!" he exclaimed.

He had already heard those words once before on the cliff that day.

Lately, he had been trying to avoid thinking about it. But at that moment, he finally understood that there were some truths he simply could not avoid.

He believed that Lizzie betrayed him by getting involved with Carl, and he thought it was because he was still hung up on Nancy. Her actions were either done as revenge against him or for her to seek emotional respite.

But the reality was that Lizzie's thoughts were always centered on Jonathan.

Cyrus sighed.

"A lunatic?" Lizzie laughed even more wildly. "I am a lunatic!"

Lizzie didn't care about Cyrus' or Eleanor's thoughts about her.

She knew they were extremely disgusted with her, believing she was unworthy of loving Jonathan and thinking her affection for him was disgraceful and contemptible.

Whether she loved someone or not wasn't something she could control.

She couldn't even be bothered to glance at Eleanor or Cyrus.

Lizzie gazed steadily at Rose as if wanting to share something with her. "I love him more than any of you. Ever since I first saw him all those years ago…

"You haven't seen him when he was young, have you? Even then, he was incredibly bright and striking, so much so that any girl who laid eyes on him couldn't look away.

"Back then, I was just an ordinary girl. I was only a few years older than him. There was nothing wrong with liking him.

"At that time, he was also someone people didn't easily approach, but I had a legitimate reason to get close to him…

"Nancy was into painting, and he probably missed his mother. So when Mrs. Finch Senior asked him to choose what to study, he chose painting. I was selected by Mrs. Finch Senior to be the teacher giving him lessons at Finch Manor.

"Having the class once a week felt too infrequent, yet each time, I really cherished the time spent with him.

"I taught him how to paint… Haha! Actually, I didn't teach him much. He probably inherited talent from Nancy, as he's naturally gifted in painting.

"Rather than saying he was learning how to paint, it was more accurate to say he used this time to miss his mother with a sense of justification. And I stayed with him.

"I knew he loved his mother, so after Nancy was brought back to Finch Manor by Cyrus, I deliberately got close to Nancy, hoping to win both their favors, but…

"I was still discovered.

"He knew I liked him and was about to fire me. But why fire me just because I like him? I'm just fond of him, that's all. Thankfully, there was Cyrus…"

When Lizzie talked about Cyrus, she didn't look at him at all.

However, Cyrus clenched his fist.

Lizzie continued, "Back then, Jonathan didn't have a say in things. Cyrus saw that I was well-behaved and kind, so he allowed me to continue attending classes. Even though Jonathan would ignore me every time, I was content just to see him.

"But gradually, I became unsatisfied again. I didn't like people who got too close to him, and Harriette was one of them. Harriette was cheerful and outgoing, and she seemed a perfect match for Jonathan, but she…"

Lizzie suddenly scoffed. "Someone like her who's so two-faced isn't good enough for Jonathan! So…"

As Rose listened, she felt a sharp chill slowly creep into her heart.
