Chapter 100

Matthew stared at her blankly, his face covered in wounds. Without another word, he shook his head and left.

Sophie breathed a sigh of relief after watching both of the twins leave. Fortunately, Dylan’s outburst had helped her to temporarily muddle through.

But Sophie didn’t know at this time that Anthony wasn’t the only one who had been poisoned.

Benedict tucked Anthony in and told him to rest. Then he went to the study with Gabriel.

He asked, “Father, what should we do about Anthony now? Should we send someone to help him find the antidote now?”

Gabriel said slowly after he sat down, “We should, but I’m afraid it’s not as simple as they said.”

Benedict looked puzzled. He poured a drink and sat down. “What do you mean, Father?”

“If the poison was really made by Anthony, he can’t be unprepared.”

Gabriel took a sip of drink and continued, “Caleb was once poisoned. The poison was also helpless to ordinary doctors. It was not until Dr. Garraway took action that it was solved. Before that, two people had been to the Marquis’s estate.

Benedict thought for a moment, then immediately reacted. “Father, are you talking about Eliza and her mentor, Reverend Mendoza?”

Gabriel nodded. “Exactly.”

Benedict didn’t believe it, “I know what you suspect, Father, but it’s impossible. Eliza has never been in contact with anything poisonous since she was a child, let alone poisoning anyone.”

Gabriel glanced at him. “She won’t, but her mentor might.”

“Reverend Mendoza?”

Benedict frowned slightly. “That Reverend seemed to be just an ordinary person.”

Gabriel said indifferently, “Why do you think she went to the Marquis’s estate with Eliza? Mrs. Nevill invited her to treat her illness. It’s possible for someone who understands medicine to be able to concoct poisons.”

He knew very little about Mary. But as far as he knew, her origins were very mysterious. Not only did she know the Padilla family, but she also had dealings with the royal family.

Otherwise, the king wouldn’t have casually chosen Saint Grace Nunnery as the place to pray for the country.

So he suspected that the poison in Anthony was likely from Mary. Even if it wasn’t from her, it must have something to do with her.

He said, “Don’t let me find out who did this.”

Otherwise, he would never let them go.

As for Eliza, Gabriel had never considered the possibility of her being involved.

After all, in his opinion, Eliza had always been stupid and foolish. She was incompetent and always fought for everything.

However, he had no idea that the poison was actually made by Eliza.

Sarah asked Eliza curiously while performing her daily tasks. “The Empress’s birthday is coming up in ten days. Her birthday party will surely be a grand event, right?”

Eliza answered, “His Majesty has always respected her, so every year her birthday party is a grand occasion.”

“That’s wonderful! This time, we are lucky to be invited thanks to you. I never thought we would have the opportunity to attend the Empress Dowager’s birthday party.”
