The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106

A person said, “Good heavens! How could this be?”

Another person said, “That’s why Eliza’s birthday felt off this year. That day wasn’t actually her birthday at all!”

Someone else asked, “Then whose birthday was it?”

A person replied, “With only two daughters, whose else could it be?”

Another person said, “It seemes we’ve uncovered a huge secret!”

Someone else said, “So Eliza isn’t the elder sister. What a fascinating play the Duke’s estate is putting on.”

A person asked, “What’s going on? What does it all mean? I don’t think I understand.”

Some were still confused and quickly asked others for clarification.

But those who understood pretended to be mute, but all looked at Gabriel intentionally or unintentionally.

Gabriel’s expression was terrible at this time. He suddenly stood up, strode over, and grabbed Matthew.

Matthew staggered from being dragged, and Gabriel naturally didn’t miss the dazed look in his eyes when he turned back.

He said, “Eliza, you are really something else.”

If he still couldn’t tell that Matthew had fallen for it just like Anthony, Gabriel would have lived all these years in vain.

As always, Eliza repeated what she had said before to Gabriel. “Duke of Mowbay, I don’t understand what you are saying.”

“You don’t understand?” At this moment, Gabriel only felt that he had underestimated her. He said with a sullen face, “You understand all too well.”

It was such an obvious scheme. If he hadn’t been contemptuous and dismissive before and hadn’t taken her seriously, he would have discovered Matthew’s abnormality long ago, and Eliza wouldn’t have had the opportunity to provoke him like this today.

He asked, “You used your brothers. Have you ever thought about how they will view you in the future?”

Eliza answered, “How can you call it using them?”

She raised a hand in front of her. Then, she smiled faintly. “Duke of Mowbay, have you forgotten? I have already said that I will not do anything unless I am offended.”

Gabriel looked at her. She was so different from her past self, and for the first time, he felt like he had never truly understood her.

She dared to challenge him as the Holy Lady and confront him.

She was still Eliza, the daughter he had abandoned, but something had fundamentally changed.

She might have ceased to be her former self long ago.

Gabriel stared into her resolute, fearless eyes.

He suddenly remembered what she had said when he threatened to banish her. “I will never regret it.”

Gabriel ultimately said nothing more at that time.

When he returned to his seat with Matthew, Sophie anxiously asked, “Father, what should we do now? Everyone knows!”

Benedict and Dylan, who were at the side, had not noticed anything amiss. “What do you mean?”

Benedict asked in confusion, “Didn’t Matthew just give Eliza a birthday present? What’s wrong with that?”

Dylan also thought they were a little strange.

After all, when they were at Saint Grace Nunnery, the matter of Sophie’s incorrect birth date had been exposed. At that time, Gabriel used the excuse that Sophie had changed her birth date to fool the brothers.

But now this was exposed in front of everyone at the party.

The people who could come to this party were either powerful people in the court, prominent officials and their families, or noble families. In short, none of them were simple people.

Even if Gabriel brought out that excuse again, he would not be able to fool them all.

But even so, Gabriel was still as calm as ever.

He asked, “What’s the rush? Sit down first.”

Under Gabriel’s oppressive gaze, Sophie suppressed her anxiety and quickly sat down.

Gabriel then handed Matthew to Benedict. “Matthew is not feeling well today, Benedict. Take him home and look after him. Don’t let him run around.”

Although Benedict was puzzled, he obediently replied, “Yes, Father.”

After Benedict took Matthew away, Gabriel said calmly to Sophie, “Without concrete evidence, everything is just speculation. Only by staying calm can you avoid being disturbed.”

Sophie immediately understood what he meant.

She thought, “That’s right, even if Eliza revealed her birth date, it wouldn’t matter as long as there was no conclusive evidence. I would still be the adopted daughter of the Duke’s estate!‘

However, Sophie was never content with just being an adopted daughter.

She clenched her teeth and shot a sneaky glare at Eliza.

She thought, ‘It’s all this little slut’s fault! She’s becoming more and more of an eyesore.

‘Anthony and Matthew are useless. They can’t even bring back one person, and they only make things worse!

‘Now, the problem with my birth date being suddenly exposed here is that it won’t be long before rumors start spreading in Hasen City

‘It may even affect my plan to become the legitimate daughter of the Duke’s estate!‘

Gabriel comforted her, but Sophie couldn’t feel at ease no matter how hard she tried

But what she didn’t know was that in Eliza’s plan, exposing Sophie’s birthday problem at the party was only the first step.

There was a second step to follow.

After all, the poison in Matthew’s body had not yet been cured.
