The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Dylan and the others wanted to keep an eye on Eliza, but she refused to let them in.

With a loud bang, she slammed the door shut and quickly stashed all her belongings into her pocket farm.

If Dylan and the rest weren’t standing right outside, she would’ve gone to her mother’s room.

Though her mother had passed years ago, the room was still kept spotless, cleaned daily–arranged by her father.

Before everything had changed, Eliza had never doubted Gabriel and Sophie’s relationship. She believed her father’s claim that Sophie was merely the daughter of a benefactor he had taken in out of gratitude.

But they all knew Cabriel wouldn’t simply “talk” to Eliza. Given what she had done, she’d be lucky if he only scolded her..

Sull, no one corrected Sophie. They saw her as too young, Too naive to understand the full weight of the situation

Matthew, watching the closed door, nodded. “Sophie’s right. We’ll stay here and let Father handle her when he returns”

They all seemed to know what was coming.

Anthony, the fourth brother, exhaled impatiently. “Dylan, Matthew, Sophie–I’m not feeling well. I’ll head back first.”

Sophie immediately turned to him, concern etched across her delicate face. Anthony, are you alright? Is it your condition again! Do you want me to go with your

Anthony, looking pale, gave her a faint smile. “It’s fine. I can manage. You should stay here”

Sople had no real intention of leaving her offer was just for show. Fortunately, Anthony was always considerate enough to refuse

She nodded obediently: “Alright then. Rest well. I’ll check on you later.

Hearing that, Anthony felt a little better. Having such a thoughtful and caring sister is a blessing, he thought. ‘She’s so much better than certain troublemaker”
