The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91

Eliza raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard the news. “What is she up to this time?”

68)

Eliza knew what kind of person Adeline was. She didn’t get her way the last time she came to Saint Grace Nunnery. It was already good enough that she didn’t come to find fault with her again. There was no way she could possibly apologize to her.

Eliza stroked her chin thoughtfully. “Was there anyone else who came with Mrs. Nevill?”

“A middle–aged man in an official uniform, and a handsome young man.”

Wearing an official uniform and willing to accompany Adeline, it must be either Gabriel or Dale.

Gabriel had been here before and was given a cold shoulder. He shouldn’t come again in a short time.

So the only one who could come was Dale. The remaining one was obviously Caleb.

Since their whole family was here, she wondered what they were trying to do.

Eliza frowned, put down the scriptures in her hand, “Then I’ll go out and have a look.”

“Don’t be afraid, I’ll go with you.”

As soon as she heard that she was going out, Sarah, who often came to her, immediately said.

“Don’t worry, Sarah, nothing should happen this time,” Eliza said with a smile.

“That won’t do either. Every time these people come, they either hit you or scold you. Mrs. Devill also framed you last time. None of them are good people. So I’ll go with you. If anything happens, I’ll call for help immediately!”

Faced with Sarah’s fervent protectiveness, Eliza naturally didn’t refuse any longer. “Alright, alright, then I’ll have to trouble you to watch them for me.”

It didn’t take long for them to appear at the gate of Saint Grace Nunnery.

As Eliza had expected, the people who came were Dale’s family.

However, she didn’t know why Caleb was being pressed to kneel on the ground by Dale, with a wooden stick as thick as an arm placed beside him.

Adeline’s face was clearly full of heartache, but she didn’t seem to dare to speak.

However, when she looked up and saw Eliza come out, her eyes immediately lit up.

“Eliza, you’re finally here. We have been waiting for you.” Adeline hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to take Eliza’s

arm.

Her tone was very intimate, and her attitude was gentler than Eliza had ever seen before. Eliza instantly felt a wave of inexplicable disgust.

She coldly withdrew her arm and said distantly, “Mrs. Nevill, I heard you came to apologize to me today. It seems you have found the real thief?”

As soon as the word “thief” was uttered, Adeline’s face flushed with embarrassment. “What thief? It’s all a misunderstanding!”

“Misunderstanding?” Eliza raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced over the faces of Adeline and the other two, instantly catching something.

She gave a knowing chuckle.

Finally, looking at Caleb kneeling on the ground, she uttered words that instantly mortified all three of them, “So, there was no thief at all. You have staged this whole thing.”

Adeline’s face instantly flushed red, her teeth clenched in anger. Caleb, kneeling on the ground, couldn’t stand Eliza’s

sarcasm.

He said, “I’m sorry, Eliza, whether it was the previous broken engagement, the snow cream incident, or all the big and small things in between, it was my failure as a father that caused you so much grievance.”

“Shut up!” Dale glared at his son. After Caleb unwillingly stopped talking, he looked at Eliza again. “Eliza…”

Dale couldn’t help but clench his fists. He wanted to persuade her, “Actually, you don’t have to be like this. Your mother and I were childhood friends…”
