The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103

Eliza had expected that Gabriel would come to see her today.

But she didn’t expect that her always–steady father would be in such a hurry. He came to her to soon.

Mary looked at her immediately. “Should I go out and deal with him?”

Eliza smiled and said to Mary, “I know what he’s here for. Don’t bother, Reverend.”

“Okay, just remember what I told you.”

Eliza nodded, then lifted her feet and followed the maid out. Gabriel was waiting at the corner not far from the hall.

Seeing Eliza come out, he didn’t move, just waited for Eliza to come forward,

But unfortunately, Eliza did not meet his exs. After glancing at him, she stopped at the entrance of the side hall

From a distance, she asked, “Since you want to see me, why don’t you come closer?”

Gabriel was a little surprised to hear this. He di

didn’t expect that after only two months, she would be so wary of him.

After a pause, Gabriel put his hands behind his back and waved, then walked towards Eliza.

Eliza’s eyes passed over Gabriel’s shoulder, staring at the corner behind him.

Although she saw nothing, Eliza had a hunch that someone was there.

That was why Eliza didn’t go over. When he got closer, they stood 10 feet apart, looking at each other.

Gabriel was the first to speak, and his first words went straight to the point. “Is the antidote in your hands or your mentor’s?”

Eliza smiled faintly. “What are you talking about, Duke? I don’t quite understand.”

One of the most effective ways to provoke Gabriel

Even so, Gabriel didn’t think she could really cause

trouble.

So he said calmly, “Tell me, what will it take for you to hand over the antidote?”

Eliza still shook her head. “I told you, I really don’t understand what you’re talking about. If you have nothing else to say, please leave.”

He wanted to force her to admit it, but she was no fool. Gabriel didn’t expect her to be so stubborn.

His face turned cold. “You took your mother’s memorial plaque and dowry, leaving nothing for your four brothers. We have never held it against you. But now you are making things difficult for Anthony. Don’t you feel even slightly guilty?”

“I won’t attack unless I am attacked first, Your Grace. Isn’t that what you taught me?”

Eliza looked into his eyes. “From the matter of my mother’s dowry to your visit today, have I ever been the one to stir up

trouble?”

Gabriel paused. He had no retort.

Eliza smiled. “You ask what I want, but you already know the answer. You know that we are both pretending to be oblivious. I’m fine. After all, I’m not the one who’s poisoned. But how long can you stall? Or rather, how long can Anthony hold on?”

She turned to leave for the palace, but not before saying, “You don’t have much time left. If I don’t see your sincerity before the party ends, then you don’t need to come to me again”

She could fight for what she wanted herself. Gabriel stared at her retreating figure until it disappeared behind the palace

doors.

After standing there for a while, he turned and left. Returning to the corner, the shadow guard who had been hiding there appeared. “Your Excellency,”

Gabriel raised his hand. “You need not stay here any longer. Go to Saint Grace Nunnery at once and search for the lodgings of Eliza and Reverend Mendoza. See if you can find the antidote.”

“Yes.”

After the shadow guard left, Gabriel let out a low chuckle. “Caroline, your daughter is just like you, so heartless and ruthless. However, it’s not that easy to make me bow my head.”

With that, Gabriel flicked his sleeves and left leisurely.

After he left, Tina relayed what she had heard to Eliza.

Eliza sneered, “As expected, he had no intention of having a proper talk with me.”

If she had subconsciously walked up to Gabriel just now, she was afraid that his shadow guard would have attacked immediately.

Since he could threaten her, he would not bother with pleasantries. That was precisely what Gabriel was thinking.

Eliza, now understanding his intentions, couldn’t help but feel a surge of disgust.

She said, “So the dignified Duke would stoop to such despicable means to deal with his own daughter.”

She felt that Anthony had indeed learned a lot from him.

Tina asked, “Serenity, what do you plan to do? Do

you

need me to go

back?”

“No need. The antidote is not at Saint Grace Nunnery.”

Eliza shook her head. She had put the antidote into the pocket farm of her pendant earlier.

No matter how hard Gabriel looked, it would be impossible to find it. So all she had to do was watch today’s big drama unfold.

The party soon began.

Eliza and the others followed the arrangements and first chanted scriptures and prayed for the Empress Dowager.

After the prayer, each family presented their gifts.
