The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 470

470.Chapter 470

“W–what is this?” Sophie shouted. She had initially dismissed the stone as nothing, but the moment it turned into a pile of ashen gray, a horrifying suspicion surged through her mind.

Sophie lunged at the pile of ashes, trembling as she scooped some up. The eerie, fine texture sent her into a scream, a heart–wrenching cry of “Ah, Eliza, I will kill you.”

‘How dare she? The kind Holy Lady? A nun? Eliza is nothing but a treacherous and malicious villain,‘ Sophie thought to herself.

“What’s wrong, Sophie? What happened?” Caleb was startled by Sophie’s hysterical breakdown and quickly moved to embrace her. “What is this thing that has you so upset?”

At the sound of his voice, Sophie turned and clung to him desperately, her eyes brimming with tears of despair and boundless hatred. She sobbed, “Caleb, Eliza dug up my mother’s remains.”

“What?” Caleb was utterly shocked.

The next moment, Adeline frowned and reprimanded sharply, “Silence. How dare you make such baseless accusations?”

“But there is evidence,” Sophie said, her eyes bloodshot as she pointed at the ashes. “If you don’t believe me, look closely. This is not just any stone. It’s my mother’s ashes.”

Sophie continued, “That bitch dug up my mother’s grave, burned her remains, and turned them into an ash stone as a gift for me. She is the epitome of evil and doesn’t deserve to be called a Holy Lady.”

Smack. Almost as soon as Sophie finished speaking, she was slapped hard across the face, her lips bleeding, and a bright red handprint quickly swelling on her made–up face.

“Mother, what are you doing? Eliza has gone too far, and you won’t stand up for Sophie, but you actually hit her?” Caleb was taken aback by his mother’s sudden action and only realized what was happening when he quickly moved to shield Sophie, indignantly questioning his mother.

“I’m hitting her because she’s a fool,” Adeline said, looking down at Sophie on the ground with burning anger. “Do you even realize your own position? How dare you call her a bitch?”

She added, “Eliza became a Holy Lady after leaving the Duke’s estate. And you? What are you? You’re a bastard child from the Duke’s estate. Once you leave, you’re nothing more than Caleb’s concubine.”

Adeline mercilessly and harshly mocked Sophie. “How dare you call a Holy Lady a bitch?

“And as for this pile of ashes, whether it’s real or fake, I’ll treat it as real, but how do you prove it’s your mother’s ashes? How do you prove Eliza dug up your mother’s grave and burned her remains? Do you think your mere words are enough to make it true?”

“Of course not,” Caleb said, cherishing Sophie deeply. He carefully supported her and coaxed her gently. “Sophie, rest assured. My feelings for you are genuine. I would never divorce you.”
