The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 482

482.Chapter 482

“I’ve always said that as long as you behave, you’ll always be my good daughter,” Gabriel said. But Sophie just wouldn’t

behave.

Sophie was even more disobedient in the matter of choosing a husband, insisting on doing something so embarrassing and disgraceful that it ruined the reputation of the Duke’s estate and his honor.

In Hasen City, those who knew about the past ridiculed Gabriel behind his back. For the sake of a bastard daughter, he had driven away his legitimate daughter.

If the illegitimate daughter had been more successful than the legitimate one, it would have been acceptable. But now, Eliza had a good reputation and became a highly respected Holy Lady, while Gabriel’s favored illegitimate daughter had a ruined reputation and willingly became Caleb’s concubine.

Not only was Sophie being ridiculed, but Gabriel, the once all–powerful Lord Mowbay, was also being mocked. Naturally, Gabriel was angry with Sophie. Even the guilt and sense of obligation Gabriel had felt toward Zoie and her daughters were almost gone.

If it weren’t for Sophie using her mother’s demeanor to evoke some memories in Gabriel today, she probably wouldn’t have received a good expression from him.

“Father, I was a bit willful before, but now that I’ve suffered the consequences, I truly know I was wrong. Please forgive me.” Sophie tried to use the hard–luck story to seek her father’s forgiveness.

However, as soon as she said this, Caleb, sitting beside her, became unhappy. “Sophie, how can you say that?”

Caleb felt that any bad things should be discussed within the family. Now that Sophie was his concubine, if she had been wronged, it was fine to talk about it within the Marquis’s estate. But she shouldn’t say such things at the Duke’s estate, in front of Lord Gabriel.

‘Suffered the consequences? Did the Marquis’s estate treat her poorly? Or did they make her suffer? Caleb thought. Although his mother’s attitude towards Sophie was not good and her words were somewhat harsh, she didn’t hit her or deprive her of anything. Sophie still had all the dignity she deserved, and even the maids serving her were comparable to those of a legitimate wife, more than when she was serving in the Duke’s estate.

Caleb pressed his lips together, choosing to stay silent, though his expression betrayed a mix of defiance and simmering resentment. Or perhaps it was bitterness.
