The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 278

278.Chapter 278

“Dad!” Matthew’s voice was full of disappointment and astonishment. “You… Do you side with Eliza as Dylan?”

“Can’t you see where you are? Use your brain, Matthew!” Gabriel sounded indignant and frustrated. “Why did I look for you? If I sided with Eliza, you would have died in her place.”

Matthew argued, “What do you mean then? I am grounded because you don’t want me to go find Eliza. You try to stop me from getting my manor back, don’t you?” His voice was tinged with sadness and indignation. “That manor was a gift to me from Grandpa. How could you give it to Eliza?”

Gabriel responded, “Because you are naughty and cause trouble. Recently, you and Anthony made our family a laughingstock. I know that you and Anthony ruined the herbal garden in Solacecrest Manor. You got caught red–handed, so you lost your manor. What will happen next? Do you really think that Eliza doesn’t have the guts to kill you?”

Gabriel coldly shifted his gaze away and brushed past Matthew. “Anthony got punished before you, and he almost got killed by Eliza. However, he didn’t learn his lesson. Matthew, forget Stone Sea Manor. Now you stay here, and you think about what you did,” he ordered.

This time, Matthew was grounded in his own bedroom. Gabriel left the room, waved Sophie away, and issued an order to the guards. “Nobody is allowed in or out of this room without my permission.” Instantly, several voices sounded, “Yes.”

Only then did Matthew realize that there were more than two guards outside his bedroom. “Dad, you can’t do this to me!” he shouted desperately. However, Gabriel had left resolutely.

Sophie lingered behind. Frustrated, she looked back at Matthew’s bedroom, gritted her teeth, and then stormed away. She felt it necessary to do something after Solacecrest Manor, the Oriphoenix Building, Stone Sea Manor, and Green Manor had been taken away by Eliza.

“Only Benedict’s and Anthony’s manors are left, and they will be mine. I won’t let Eliza have her way again,” Sophie thought. Thinking, she didn’t pay much attention to Gabriel’s lecture. Later, she went to see Anthony.

“Anthony!” Shouting, Sophie ran towards Anthony’s room with panic in her face. “Bad news! Matthew is grounded by Dad, and I don’t know when he will regain his freedom.”

Sophie bit her lower lip softly and looked at Anthony with worry. “Anthony, what should we do? I am scared. Dad already knew that you and Matthew had ruined the herbal garden in Solacecrest Manor. He may come to you soon. I am afraid that you will get grounded too.”

Anthony calmly poured Sophie some coffee. He then said, “Relax, Sophie. Dad won’t punish me for that trifle.”
