Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 534

Bella… Lizzie knew well enough the reason Bella surrounded Eleanor lately. From afar, she watched Bella engaging in an emotional conversation with Eleanor before angrily storming off. It seemed that Eleanor didn't concede to Bella.

Lizzie raised her brows. Soon enough, she heard Bella smashing objects down the floor and ascending the stairs in high heels. She had arrived at the second floor.

Lizzie smiled faintly, exited her room, and called for Bella before she entered her room. "Bella…"

Bella stopped and saw Lizzie standing on the other side of the hallway. Assuming she was enjoying her misery, Bella became furious and refused to deal with her.

However, Lizzie walked up to her. "I have some wine in my room. Shall we have a drink, Bella?"

A drink? Although they were sisters-in-law who lived together for many years, they were never at a point in their relationship to share a drink privately. "I'll pass—"

Without waiting for her to finish, Lizzie tugged at her. "It's a great wine. You have to try it, Bella." She pulled Bella into her room, ignoring her resistance.

It wasn't until the door closed that Bella regained her senses and flung Lizzie's hand away. "What do you want? Were you planning to mock me like I'm some joke? I'm telling you, Lizzie, that I'm in no way near a joke…" She exposed her pent-up emotions.

Ever since Liam entered the Finch family tree, he received Yosef's rightful approval to enter the Finch Group businesses and the treatment of a Finch family member. But how could Liam, a bastard, deserve to be part of the family? What about Jack?

At that point, Lizzie embraced her. Bella froze and subsequently heard Lizzie's voice. "I understand your hardships, Bella. Just get everything out of your system. I'm here because I truly feel sorry for you."

It had been ages since someone told Bella they felt sorry for her, and it was surprising that it came from Lizzie.

She looked dazedly at Lizzie, who released her and poured the wine into a glass for her. Even then, she remained dubious. "You feel… sorry for me?"

Lizzie understood her meaning. She breathed in deeply and released a heavy sigh. "We both have our fair share of hardships marrying into the Finch family. At least, you have Jack while I…" She lowered her head and looked at her belly.

Bella took in her expression. Since marrying Cyrus, Lizzie had gotten pregnant once but had a miscarriage that led her to infertility ever since.

Some even said that Eleanor forbade her from carrying Cyrus' child. Rumors had it that she was involved in Lizzie's miscarriage, but no one dared to validate it.

Faced with a bitter-looking Lizzie, Bella immediately got the gist and huffed. "Eleanor… All she cares about is the family business. She doesn't care whether each of the descendants gets fair treatment. As long as they're a tool to Finch Group, she won't even hesitate to acknowledge a bastard!

"Besides, the Turner family heavily opposed your marriage with Cyrus back then. The Turners were influential, while you were… powerless and alone."

Bella sipped her wine. She felt a shared sense of sympathy and pain when Lizzie revealed her vulnerability. The latter smiled bitterly.

"It's all in the past. I've gotten used to life without a child. I love Cyrus, and he loves me the same."

At the mention of Cyrus, Bella thought of Yosef. Immediately, she couldn't suppress the frustration and resentment she had built up.

"Don't even get me started on Yosef. Not only did he desert Jack, but he even told everyone he'd cut ties with Jack. Jack is his son!

"Is that what a father does? Not even Eleanor has anything to say about that! All he ever cares about is himself, while she only has eyes on the company's interests. Where does that leave Jack…"
