After speaking. Caleb quickly realized he may have gone too far.
He instinctively looked at Eliza, expecting her to be hurt by his words. But Eliza showed no expression
“Lord Caleb, you are so arrogant.” Mary said, her face cold.
Dylan gritted his teeth in anger.
Sophie, on the other hand, wore a smug look, glancing at both Eliza and Caleb. This fool finally knows who to choose, she
wondered.
Meanwhile hew sarcastically commented, “Being rejected like that, who can you blame?”
“Matthew, sup,” Dylan snapped, glaring at him
Matthew, however, didn’t care. He shot back. “Did I say something wrong? She’s the one who’s fallen this far, being disowned by the Stonor family, having her surname stripped by her father, being broken off from her engagement, and humiliated.
“Didn’t she bring this upon herself with all the bad things she did in the past?”
“Enough. Shut up!” Dylan roared, his burst of anger finally silencing Matthew.
Matthew only stopped speaking, but his face darkened as he turned away.
“Have you all insulted me enough?” Eliza finally spoke up. Her tone was calm, and her expression remained unchanged.
It was as if Caleb and Matthew’s harsh words hadn’t affected her in the slightest.
She merely raised her eyelids. “If everyone thinks this is enough, then you may leave and allow my mentor and me to leave, right?”
“Eliza, wait, I-” Dylan and Caleb spoke up at the same time. The moment they did, they shot each other a look of frustration.
But Eliza had no intention of listening to either of them.
She glanced at Matthew and coldly said, “Lord Matthew, please go back and inform Duke of Mowbay that if he wants to strip me of my surname, he must first hand over everything related to the Padilla family. At that point, I will have no further connection to the Stonor family.”
After saying this, Eliza turned and walked away.
Dylan and Caleb attempted to stop her, but before their hands could even touch her, Mary pushed them back with a swift
motion.
“If you all haven’t had enough, I can help you take this to His Majesty. Let him hear how you’ve been treating the Holy Lady.” Mary’s words immediately froze some of them in their tracks.
Adeline quickly grabbed Caleb’s arm.
Dylan, too, was restrained by Matthew and Sophie..
Dylan had only just been released from prison. He couldn’t risk being sent back, or they would be making endless trips to Saint Grace Nunnery just to get him out again.
So, the two of them could only watch helplessly as Eliza walked out of the Marquis’s estate and approached two tall figures

At this sight, Adeline and the others finally realized that Eliza’s status had greatly risen.

severe.
“Lord Dale, you’re home early today. Your Highness, you’re here too? It seems these children are still chatting with Eliza. Go on, and give your respects to Your Highness. Adeline immediately stepped forward, trying to cover up the situation.
Caleb, relieved, followed Adeline’s cue, and Sophie and the others did the same.
