Chapter 105
Just by looking at her face, Eliza knew that she must be furious with her words.
Moreover, after Eliza finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows and gave Sophie a look of disdain.
It was filled with provocation.
It was as if she was returning the favor for Sophie’s earlier action.
Just as the Stoner family was about to intervene, someone was faster than them.

Caleb, Sophie’s biggest admirer, glared at Eliza and said, “Eliza! Enough! Don’t think that you can insult Sophie just because you’re the Holy Lady! With me around, you can’t bully her!”
However, just as he finished speaking, the person sitting behind him suddenly reached out and put him in a headlock.
Grant said with a smirk, “Caleb, what business is it of yours when these two ladies are talking?”
Before the party, Grant had searched everywhere for Caleb. When he couldn’t find him, he had planned to wait until the end of the party to confront him.
However, before the party even ended, Caleb couldn’t help but jump out and cause trouble.
Grant, of course, did not hesitate to stand up and restrain Caleb. “If you have something to say, you can say it to me. But in front of the Holy Lady, you better watch your words.”
No one present expected that Grant would actually speak up for Eliza.
Even Percival Fletcher, the Minister of Revenue, couldn’t help but look at his son in surprise.
He thought, ‘What’s wrong with this kid today?‘
Caleb frowned in displeasure and tugged at his hand. “Grant, what are you talking about? Not only are you not helping me, but you’re actually speaking for Eliza? Let go of me. I don’t want to fight with you here.”
“Neither do I,” Grant repeated his words with a cold smile and then withdrew his hands.
Caleb didn’t catch the underlying meaning of his words and just thought Grant was joking with him.
After he let go, Caleb looked at Eliza and warned again, “Remember what I just said, do you hear me?“,
Eliza ignored him.
