He genuinely thought they could negotiate.

“Yes.” Anthony cut in before Gabriel could speak Solacecrest Manor and the Orphons Building belong to Sophie now I you want them, you’ll have to trade something else.”

Eliza didn’t even hesitate. “Fine. Trade it for your life, then Tina–do”

Before the words had even fully left her mouth. Tina’s sword flashed

Anthony was prepared this time–but that didn’t matter. Tina wasn’t holding back

He narrowly dodged the fatal blow, but the second strike pierced clean through his arm and his scream echoed dough the courtyard

“Eliza! Call her off!” Gabriel barked, trying to get in between them. But Eliza didn’t move, didit ees Soch

When Tina drew her sword back and lunged again, Gabriel finally lost it and roared. Fine Fine Take them–both Solacecrest Manor and the Oriphoenix Building, they’re yours

Even then, Eliza waited until Tina stabbed Anthony once more before she lazily waved a hand and said. That’s enough Tina. You can stop now.”

Gabriel rushed forward to support Anthony, whose arm was soaked in blood, gaping wounds still dripping. His face turned nearly white from pain–or fear–and Gabriel’s own hands were shaking with fury

“Eliza,” Gabriel seethed, ‘you really treat your own brother like this? Aren’t you afraid word will spread, and in ruin your holy reputation?”

Neither he nor Anthony had expected Eliza to be this merciless. She hadn’t even given them a chance to talk. If he hadn caved in time, she might’ve actually killed Anthony on the spot.

Eliza only smiled. “Word will spread? And who exactly is going to testify for you?”

It was then that Gabriel realized the nunnery was completely silent. Empty Not a single nun in sight. Not even ap guest.

In the past, they could twist the narrative however they liked. Say whatever they pleased.

But now? The Stonor family’s reputation was already in ruins. And if it came down to a dispute between them and Holy Lady Eliza, who did they think people would believe?

Gabriel suddenly felt a chill creep down his spine.

She hadn’t just been bluffing to get her way. She’d really meant to kill Anthony

He clenched his fists instinctively, a cold sweat rising on the back of his neck

For the first time, Gabriel looked at Eliza not with disain, but with fear.

This time, Gabriel didn’t argue. He gave her one last long look, then turned and left with the injured Anthony

Finally, the let out a slow exhale. “Whew Thats done”

Negotiating with a fox like Gabriel required ruthless precision–every second bought was another trap he could set Fortunately, he’d brought along a liability. Anthony had actually helped seal the deal

Now, all that was left was to get her hands on the deeds.

She’d made up her mind from the beginning everything that once belonged to her mother–and to the Padilla family–she would take back, piece by piece.

Turning, she saw Tina approaching. Eliza opened her arms and gave her a brief, grateful hug, smiling brightly.

“You were amazing just now. Thank you, Tina”

Tina stiffened for a moment–then relaxed. She patted Eliza’s back with her free hand. “No need to thank me. As long as helped”

“Oh, it did,” Eliza beamed. “Once I have my estate and restaurant back. I can finally begin my real plans.”

Now, they were hers again.

Because the King had summoned her again.

This wasn’t the foolish girl he once thought he could manipulate. This was a woman who’d been forged in fire–and the no longer had anything left to lose.
