With these thoughts in mind, Sophie found herself not entirely opponed to the punishment of being sent to find Dylan, As expected, she felt that Gabricel still couldn’t bring himself to be truly harsh with her.

Sophie was brimming with smug satisfaction:

But clearly, she had celebrated too soon.

he next moment, Gabriel’s voice rang out, “Since Dylan left with nothing, you two won’t be taking anything either. No packing, no excuses, just leave now.”

Sophie was completely dumbfounded. “What? If we don’t pack, what are we supposed to wear later? Are you saying we can‘ t even bring clothes, Father?”

Gabriel’s tone was merciless. “That’s right. You’re not allowed to bring anything. If you run into problems, figure them out yourselves. Now stop wasting time and get out.”

Sophie was fuming, but she didn’t dare to challenge her father’s authority.

The steward gave a faint smile. “Apologies. Mr. Stonor has instructed that you are to walk there yourselves.”

“Walk there?” Sophie felt like the sky was falling. “Mount Westin is so far away! If we walk, our legs will practically fall off! Can’t we at least have two horses?”

The steward shook his head. “I’m afraid not.”

After saying this, the steward urged them again, “Miss Stonor, Mr. Stonor, you’d best set out quickly. It’s getting late, and if you don’t leave the city soon, it’ll be dark before you know it.”

Matthew glanced at the darkening sky and clenched his teeth. “Sophie, let’s move.”

“Move? Are you serious right now?” Sophie felt her anger boiling over, ready to snap at him.
