Chapter 80
Sophie spoke on and on, but Eliza ignored her.
Seeing her disregard for everyone, Matthew, who was already in a bad mood, immediately darkened his face. “What’s wrong? Now that you’ve left home, have you learned to play mute?”
“Matthew Benedict scolded Matthew. He asked him to restrain his temper.
Dylan looked at Eliza in the middle of the medicinal garden. He was no longer as impulsive as before. On the contrary, it was Matthew who was becoming more and more like he used to be.
After a i
silence, Dylan stepped forward and lifted a bucket of water in the yard. “Ill help you.”
“No need.” Eliza finally spoke, but the first words she uttered were a refusal.
She straightened up and stared coldly at Dylan and the others. “My humble courtyard is dirty and small, and cannot accommodate distinguished guests like yourselves. If there is nothing else, please do not linger
But Dylan seemed deaf to her refusal, stubbornly holding the water and watering the remaining herbs just as Eliza had
done.
Eliza’s expression turned even colder. Just as she was about to tell Dylan to stop, Benedict suddenly spoke. “Eliza, don’t be like that. We came here to celebrate with you. Have you already forgotten? Today is your birthday”
Benedict said with a smile, thinking that Eliza had forgotten her own birthday.
“Eliza, we really came to celebrate your birthday. Father specifically asked the king for permission for our family to come to Saint Grace Nunnery, Sophie said with a smirk, using a deliberately innocent tone to utter words that stabbed at Eliza’s heart.
“Your family?” Eliza let out a cold snort of disdain.
Benedict sensed something was amiss and quickly tried to explain on Sophie’s behalf, “No, Eliza, Sophie didn’t mean it like that…
“No, she’s not wrong” Eliza bluntly interrupted him, her voice cold, “You are family after all. So, may I ask why your family insists on coming here to celebrate an outsider’s birthday?”
Matthew once again lost his temper. “Eliza, don’t push your luck….
Eliza retorted just as sharply, “I don’t need your charity! Do us all a favor and lose the condescending attitude of yours. No one here wants it.”
Matthew’s face darkened, his fists clenching at his sides.
Eliza sneered, “Are you resorting to violence again? Last time it was Dylan, now it’s your turn. Matthew?”
Suddenly called out, Dylan stiffened. He instinctively turned around, wanting to explain himself. But seeing Eliza’s indifferent face, he opened his mouth, then closed it again, silently lowering his head. He picked up his bucket and continued to work in the medicine garden.
Eliza was not wrong, it was his fault.
Since he did something wrong, there was no need to make excuses. It was better to save the effort and help Eliza do more.
He didn’t know if this could make up for it, but at least it could give him some peace of mind.

Eliza gave Dylan a faint glance, wondering why he was so abnormally silent today.
But she didn’t bother to pay attention to him. Since he insisted on helping, let him be
-Eliza simply put down the bucket in her hand and concentrated on dealing with the few people in front of her
After hearing Eliza’s words, Benedict immediately held down Matthew’s hand.
Matthew said with a a dark face, “Benedict, let me go. I know I can’t hit her.”
However, Dy

He just felt that Fliza really needed to be taught a lesson. He used to be too lazy to do it because Dylan took care of her.
“Matthew, calm den. Father is still here.” Benedict gave Matthew a warning look before letting go.
“The Stonor family has always been a living hell to me. She gestured to their surroundings. “This is where I feel most comfortable and happy.”
She added, “So rest assured, I will never regret it. As for the esteemed status you speak of, I think the one who desires it most is your other daughter. Right, Sophie?”
Benedict also said disapprovingly, “Eliza, don’t talk nonsense. Sophie’s identity is different from yours. She is the adopted daughter of the Stonor family, and she is pure and kind. How could she be what you said?”
