“No need to say more. I want those two little brats to pay with their lives. Adeline was the first to step forward, pointing an accusing finger at Matthew and Anthony, her voice trembling with fury.
Loud thuds echoed. Gabriel slammed his palm on the table with a resounding bang, his icy gaze locking onto Adeline Your son is still alive.”
In the past, a single glare from her elder brother would have been enough to silence Adeline, leaving her too intimidated to speak.
But now, her overwhelming grief for Caleb and her burning anger toward Gabriel had completely consumed her, leaving so room for restraint.
She gritted her teeth, her voice sharp and cutting. “Are you saying attempted murder doesn’t count as murder
“Gabriel, the two brats tried to poison Caleb. If they’re capable of such heartless cruelty, shouldn’t they pay with ther thes? she roared.
“Looks like I’ve been too lenient with you over the years. Ever since you married, you’ve grown more and more out of line” Gabriel’s tone was cold and authoritative as he reprimanded her.
Before his words could fully settle, Dale, seated just below Eliza on her other side, spoke up in a calm yet pointed tone Lord Mowbay, since you’re well aware that Adeline is now married, it’s not your place as her family to discipline her. She’s after all, my wife.
“And tell me, what exactly did she say that was wrong? My son, the sole heir of the Marquis’s estate, accompanied your daughter back to her family, only to be beaten and poisoned by his cousins. Is this you looking down on Caleb, or is it that you actually look down on me, Dale, and my entire family?”
Gabriel paused, his cold gaze sweeping over his two troublemaking sons, who sat stiffly under his scrutiny.
