The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106

A person said, “Good heavens! How could this be?”

Another person said, “That’s why Eliza’s birthday felt off this year. That day wasn’t actually her birthday at all!”

Someone else asked, “Then whose birthday was it?”

A person replied, “With only two daughters, whose else could it be?”

Another person said, “It seemes we’ve uncovered a huge secret!”

Someone else said, “So Eliza isn’t the elder sister. What a fascinating play the Duke’s estate is putting on.”

A person asked, “What’s going on? What does it all mean? I don’t think I understand.”

Some were still confused and quickly asked others for clarification.

But those who understood pretended to be mute, but all looked at Gabriel intentionally or unintentionally.

Gabriel’s expression was terrible at this time. He suddenly stood up, strode over, and grabbed Matthew.

Matthew staggered from being dragged, and Gabriel naturally didn’t miss the dazed look in his eyes when he turned back.

He said, “Eliza, you are really something else.”

If he still couldn’t tell that Matthew had fallen for it just like Anthony, Gabriel would have lived all these years in vain.

As always, Eliza repeated what she had said before to Gabriel. “Duke of Mowbay, I don’t understand what you are saying.”

“You don’t understand?” At this moment, Gabriel only felt that he had underestimated her. He said with a sullen face, “You understand all too well.”

It was such an obvious scheme. If he hadn’t been contemptuous and dismissive before and hadn’t taken her seriously, he would have discovered Matthew’s abnormality long ago, and Eliza wouldn’t have had the opportunity to provoke him like this today.

He asked, “You used your brothers. Have you ever thought about how they will view you in the future?”

Eliza answered, “How can you call it using them?”

She raised a hand in front of her. Then, she smiled faintly. “Duke of Mowbay, have you forgotten? I have already said that I will not do anything unless I am offended.”

Gabriel looked at her. She was so different from her past self, and for the first time, he felt like he had never truly understood her.

She dared to challenge him as the Holy Lady and confront him.

She was still Eliza, the daughter he had abandoned, but something had fundamentally changed.

She might have ceased to be her former self long ago.

Gabriel stared into her resolute, fearless eyes.

He suddenly remembered what she had said when he threatened to banish her. “I will never regret it.”

Gabriel ultimately said nothing more at that time.

When he returned to his seat with Matthew, Sophie anxiously asked, “Father, what should we do now? Everyone knows!”

Benedict and Dylan, who were at the side, had not noticed anything amiss. “What do you mean?”

Benedict asked in confusion, “Didn’t Matthew just give Eliza a birthday present? What’s wrong with that?”

Dylan also thought they were a little strange.

After all, when they were at Saint Grace Nunnery, the matter of Sophie’s incorrect birth date had been exposed. At that time, Gabriel used the excuse that Sophie had changed her birth date to fool the brothers.

But even so, Gabriel was still as calm as ever.

After Benedict took Matthew away, Gabriel said calmly to Sophie, “Without concrete evidence, everything is just speculation. Only by staying calm can you avoid being disturbed.”
