The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 627

627.Chapter 627

“It’s a good thing you made the decision to leave and join the nunnery back then. If you’d stayed in the Duke’s estate, your heartless father would’ve ruined you beyond recognition.” Mary said this with a calm yet cutting tone.

Little did she know, her words perfectly mirrored Eliza’s tragic experiences in her past life.

Eliza lowered her gaze slightly, staying silent. ‘I need to hear more. I need to uncover the truth.‘

“Your brothers are either incredibly foolish or simply victims of your father’s cunning schemes. He knew I was watching, so he didn’t target you directly. Instead, he manipulated your brothers, turning them into tools to torment you for the sake of that illegitimate daughter of his.”

“And all of you are Caroline’s children–on one side, her daughter, and on the other, her four sons. He thought this would put me in a moral dilemma, unable to choose between the two. Hah, he underestimated me.”

Mary chuckled coldly, her sharp gaze cutting through the air like a blade.

She turned to Eliza. “You’ve met that boy, haven’t you? Surely you’ve noticed something about him–his appearance, perhaps?”

Eliza nodded. “He goes by the name ‘Rafe‘ now. His face… it resembles my father, no–it’s almost identical to Sophie’s.”

She paused mid–sentence, shaking her head. If her mentor was asking this, there had to be more to it than just a resemblance.

After all, a son looking like his father isn’t unusual. But if he also bears a striking resemblance to his father’s other illegitimate daughter, then something is definitely amiss.

“Are you saying Rafe and Sophie share the same mother?” Eliza asked, her voice tinged with doubt.

But the ages didn’t quite add up. Sophie was a few months older than Rafe.

Besides, Rafe himself had claimed they didn’t share the same mother.

Was Rafe lying, or was there another layer of secrets buried here?

“No, they don’t share the same mother. But they do look alike because their mothers were biological sisters.”
