Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 598

"What are you laughing at?" Eleanor frowned in displeasure.

After a moment, Carl stopped laughing, and silence filled the air. His gaze turned wild. "I'm laughing at how foolish the Finches are, being played by me!"

Everyone's expression darkened at his words. Then, they glared at Carl. He was merely a bodyguard. How dare he mock the Finch family?

The madness in Carl's eyes only grew stronger, a smug expression spreading across his puffy, beaten-up face.

"I hate the Finch family! Remember? I'm a Larson…"

Larson? Even Eleanor couldn't understand what he was trying to imply.

But Jonathan said in a low voice, "Michael Larson…"

The sound of the name stunned Carl. He looked at the man he truly feared, never expecting that out of the whole Finch family, Jonathan would be the only one who remembered that name.

Michael Larson… After a moment, Eleanor seemed to recall him too. "Michael Larson. Is he your father?"

Carl answered with a cold smile, "Yes. Michael Larson is my father. So, Mrs. Finch Senior, by now you should understand why I hate the Finch family, right?

Michael Larson was part of the previous generation of the Azure Clan. A big family like the Finches would always end up being involved in a power struggle, no matter which generation.

In the generation of Mr. Finch Senior, Michael was one of his trusted confidants. Unfortunately, Michael died during a mission to protect Mr. Finch Senior. He died protecting Mr. Finch Senior.

Eleanor stared at Carl as if trying to recall memories about him. "You're his son. I've seen you. That time, you were but a child…"

"Yes. When my father died, I was seven. You took me in out of pity and let me stay with the Finch family for some time.

Eleanor remembered that, but she was confused.

"If you remember me taking you in, why do you hate the Finch family? Is it because your father died while on duty?

"The Finch family gave your mother a large amount of compensation, and both you and your mother accepted it calmly, even if you were heartbroken because of your father's death."

"Accepted it calmly?" Carl scoffed.

"Did you know how I spent my life without my father? I was bullied constantly, with everyone thinking they could walk all over me…"

Carl lowered his head, trying to hide his sense of guilt. He didn't dare to talk about how Eleanor always protected him after his father's death, giving him something close to fatherly love.

He quickly dismissed the thought, fearing that it would shake his stance. He was willing to risk it all to protect Lizzie.

"You hated the Finch family because of this?" Eleanor's brows furrowed deeper.

Carl suddenly became agitated. "Exactly! How am I supposed to let go of my hatred when the Finch family only gets better and better? Luckily, Mr. Cyrus married a young wife. It took me so long to finally be able to seduce her.

"Ha ha ha… Mrs. Finch, being with you was merely an act of revenge toward the Finch family. If you actually got a divorce and left the Finch family, you would serve no purpose to me anymore."

Lizzie was merely a pawn for Carl's revenge against the Finch family!

Lizzie was shocked and heartbroken as if she had finally woken up from a sweet dream. Her emotions were sent into turmoil, to the point that she almost fell to the ground.
