The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 674

The moment the maid spoke, everyone at the entrance instinctively turned to look at

Eliza.

Renee was about to reprimand her, but Eliza raised her hand, stopping her in her tracks.

Ignoring the maid’s words, Eliza shifted her attention to the crowd gathered at the

entrance.

Typically, guests wouldn’t dare approach the host’s private quarters, especially given Eliza’s status as the Holy Lady, which placed her far above them.

It was clear that someone had intentionally led them here.

At this point, Eliza didn’t even need to guess. She already knew who was behind it.

She found it puzzling, though. She had assumed that today’s troublemakers would either be the Duke’s estate or Sophie.

But to her surprise, it turned out to be the Henderson family.

Could Isabelle be the mastermind behind this?

Eliza’s gaze briefly met that of the Prince Regent, who stood just outside the crowd, arms crossed and a faint smirk on his lips.

‘With deliberate movements, he silently mouthed some words to her.

In that instant, Eliza understood everything.

Her thoughts raced as she turned her sharp gaze to Fletcher and his entourage. “Lord Henderson, it seems your servants are in dire need of proper training. A maid with no manners, and others wandering around as if they own the place, do they even know how to serve their master? If my staff hadn’t intervened in time, this newly reopened estate might’ve ended up with its first addition being a corpse instead of decorations.”

With just a few sentences, Eliza delivered a cutting counterattack. She first criticized the Henderson servants for their negligence, then threw the notion of “bad luck” squarely at Jacqueline.

On such a joyous occasion, if negligence on the part of the Henderson family’s servants had led to a corpse appearing in the estate’s pond on its very first day, how unlucky would that be?

“Now that the person’s been saved, Lord Fletcher, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. A little thing like ‘a life–saving favor‘ is really not a big deal.”
