The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 420

420.Chapter 420

Dylan’s gaze shifted to Sophie, his eyes sharp and unyielding:

That look made Sophie instinctively shrink back, her anger bubbling up.

She thought, ‘It’s all Eliza’s fault! if it weren’t for her, Dylan wouldn’t have turned into this cold, unrecognizable person”

Back then, Dylan wouldn’t have dared to treat her this way.

All it took was one pitiful glance from her, and he’d be falling over himself to obey

He had been so loyal, but now he was completely on Eliza’s side

This only made Sophie hate her more.

Sophie gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with determination.

She thought, “This might just be my chance.

‘If I can get Dylan back, I’ll have my loyal dog again.

‘And even if I can’t, I’ve got something even better up my sleeve.

Because of Benedict, she hadn’t dared to use those flowers back at the Duke’s estate, but now they were far from Hasen City.

Besides, Dylan had already fallen out of favor with their father.

Even if she used the Poisonous Flower on him, she felt that Gabriel wouldn’t blame her.

Sophie still had the Poisonous Flower.

To be precise, she had the seeds of the Poisonous Flower.

Luckily, she’d kept the seeds hidden all along, just in case Gabriel tried to take them away.

If he had taken them, she’d have no leverage left at all.

Now that she was here, Sophie saw the perfect chance to secretly plant the seeds. If persuasion didn’t work, she’d have no choice but to use force.

With the Poisonous Flower, she’d make Dylan submit. Then, she could stol him from helping Eliza.

A flurry of thoughts swirled in Sophie’s mind.

Once she had her plan in place, she lowered her gaze, her voice trembling as if on the verge of tears. “Dylan, the truth is. Matthew and I didn’t just come to visit you. We… we’ve been kicked out of the house by Father.”

“Kicked out of the house?” Dylan scoffed, his lips curling into a mocking smile. He pressed down on Matthew’s shoulder with one hand and pointed to himself with the other. “Do I look like the gullible fool who’d fall for your lies again?”

His tone was sharp and unyielding. “Father dotes on you so much. Even if he threw everyone else out of the Duke’s estate, he’d never kick you out.”

He could believe Matthew had been thrown out, but definitely not Sophie.

“It’s true!” Sophie’s voice rose in urgency. “Matthew and I made a mistake that angered Father so much he fell ill In his fury. he kicked us both out.

“We had nowhere else to go, so we had no choice but to come to you, Dylan.”

Matthew, gritting his teeth against the pain in his shoulder, added, “Dylan, Sophie’s telling the truth. We’re broke, and Father was so furious he didn’t even let us take anything. We had to walk all the way from Hasen City to get here. That’s why it’s so late.”

Having figured out the best way to approach Dylan, Matthew softened his tone considerably.

He even adopted a humble and apologetic demeanor, looking genuinely pitiful.

Dylan said, “Alright, then tell me, what exactly did you do to make Father so furious that he kicked you out?”
