392.Chapter 392
They had always been united, standing on the same side.
But this time, everything was different
It was Dylan first, then Benedict, and now Matthew. Only Anthony hadn’t completely turned against Gabriel yet.
Eliza, of course, was happy to see it.
All this proved that everything she did after her journey back in time wasn’t in vain.
And she had no intention of stopping now.
Eliza had been desperate for her father and brothers‘ approval, willing to grovel for their affection in her previous life. But this time, things were different. She wanted more.
She wouldn’t beg for scraps of love or pity anymore. She would take what she wanted, no matter the cost.
“Eliza, I know what you’re after,” Gabriel said first.
Eliza replied indifferently, “Oh? Then why don’t you enlighten me, Duke of Mowbay? What do I want?”
Gabriel looked at her, a flicker of regret and melancholy flashing through his heart.
It was only recently that he realized, of all his children, the one who resembled him the most wasn’t his meticulously groomed eldest son but this estranged daughter who had become a nun and distanced herself from the family.
The resemblance became even more striking when he saw how merciless she was to her brothers.
Gabriel sighed inwardly, Too bad she’s just a girl. Otherwise, I would never have cut her out. But what choice did I have? I owed Zole back then, and I owed Sophie for years.”
When Zole passed away, her final letter to him contained just one wish.
She wanted Sophie to return to her rightful place and reclaim her identity.
