356.Chapter 356
In the end. Matthew stubbornly refused to sign the annulment papers. Diana didn’t want to waste any more time arguing with him. She knew it was pointless and didn’t want to delay her reunion with Liza, so she left with Eliza and headed straight back to the nunnery
Matthew stood in place, watching Diana walk away without even glancing back, taking Eliza with her. A wave of frustration and grievance surged in his chest.
After helplessly watching them disappear, Matthew clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. Then, he turned around and headed back to his room.
Matthew heard a fit of coughing nearby. Turning his head, he saw Benedict clutching his mouth, his body shaking with violent coughs “Benedict, what’s going on? Why are you coughing so badly? Benedict?”

Matthew frowned. “If we’re talking about Diana, then stick to her. Why are you dragging Eliza into this? If she hadn’t whispered something to Diana to stir up trouble, why else would Diana suddenly return to break off the engagement?” Benedict turned to him. “You’re accusing Eliza of meddling, but did you hear her say anything?
