The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 450

450.Chapter 450

Benedict’s voice rang out, sharp and commanding, cutting through the tension in the room. He fixed Matthew with a cold, piercing glare. “Matthew, shut your mouth! If you have even a shred of gratitude for what Mother did to raise you, then keep your mouth shut. Not another word!”

Matthew opened his mouth to speak, but Dylan’s earlier words echoed in his mind.

He thought, ‘Could Sophie really have harbored such cruel intentions toward our mother back then?‘

Sophie looked at him with tear–filled eyes, her face streaked with blood and tears. She was a pitiful sight, utterly wretched, but the weight of her actions made it impossible to feel sympathy. “Matthew… please…”

Dylan clenched his fists, his voice icy and unyielding. “Matthew, if you dare defend her, one of us isn’t leaving this room alive.”

In the end, Matthew closed his eyes and turned his head away.

And with that, Sophie’s last glimmer of hope was extinguished.

He said, “Sophie, you shouldn’t have done that.”

Even if Sophie had poisoned him, Matthew could have forgiven her.

But tampering with their mother’s remains crossed the line.

Back then, Matthew had sensed something was off, but he chose to turn a blind eye.

After all, Eliza had already taken their mother’s remains.

But now, with Dylan exposing the truth in front of everyone, and Sophie’s reaction giving it all away, Matthew could no longer deceive himself.

He felt that Sophie deserved to face the consequences.

Seeing that Matthew had finally taken the warning seriously, Benedict turned his cold gaze toward Gabriel.

His voice was sharp and unyielding. “Is that all you’re going to do?”
