The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 278

278.Chapter 278

“Dad!” Matthew’s voice was full of disappointment and astonishment. “You… Do you side with Eliza as Dylan?”

“Can’t you see where you are? Use your brain, Matthew!” Gabriel sounded indignant and frustrated. “Why did I look for you? If I sided with Eliza, you would have died in her place.”

Matthew argued, “What do you mean then? I am grounded because you don’t want me to go find Eliza. You try to stop me from getting my manor back, don’t you?” His voice was tinged with sadness and indignation. “That manor was a gift to me from Grandpa. How could you give it to Eliza?”

Gabriel responded, “Because you are naughty and cause trouble. Recently, you and Anthony made our family a laughingstock. I know that you and Anthony ruined the herbal garden in Solacecrest Manor. You got caught red–handed, so you lost your manor. What will happen next? Do you really think that Eliza doesn’t have the guts to kill you?”

Gabriel coldly shifted his gaze away and brushed past Matthew. “Anthony got punished before you, and he almost got killed by Eliza. However, he didn’t learn his lesson. Matthew, forget Stone Sea Manor. Now you stay here, and you think about what you did,” he ordered.

This time, Matthew was grounded in his own bedroom. Gabriel left the room, waved Sophie away, and issued an order to the guards. “Nobody is allowed in or out of this room without my permission.” Instantly, several voices sounded, “Yes.”

Only then did Matthew realize that there were more than two guards outside his bedroom. “Dad, you can’t do this to me!” he shouted desperately. However, Gabriel had left resolutely.

Sophie lingered behind. Frustrated, she looked back at Matthew’s bedroom, gritted her teeth, and then stormed away. She felt it necessary to do something after Solacecrest Manor, the Oriphoenix Building, Stone Sea Manor, and Green Manor had been taken away by Eliza.

“Only Benedict’s and Anthony’s manors are left, and they will be mine. I won’t let Eliza have her way again,” Sophie thought. Thinking, she didn’t pay much attention to Gabriel’s lecture. Later, she went to see Anthony.

“Anthony!” Shouting, Sophie ran towards Anthony’s room with panic in her face. “Bad news! Matthew is grounded by Dad, and I don’t know when he will regain his freedom.”

Sophie bit her lower lip softly and looked at Anthony with worry. “Anthony, what should we do? I am scared. Dad already knew that you and Matthew had ruined the herbal garden in Solacecrest Manor. He may come to you soon. I am afraid that you will get grounded too.”

Anthony calmly poured Sophie some coffee. He then said, “Relax, Sophie. Dad won’t punish me for that trifle.”

The confusion on Sophie’s face encouraged Anthony to explain patiently, “If Dad had been mad at me, Matthew and I would have gotten punished on the day when our gate was tainted by shit. Neither Matthew nor I got punished that day, so it implies that Dad wasn’t mad at us for that incident.

“Matthew wouldn’t be grounded if he stayed at home as I did. He is as impulsive as Dylan from the past, and he is sensitive to provocations. Therefore, he fell into Eliza’s trap and got punished by Dad.”

Now, Sophie understood why Gabriel was mad at Matthew. “Matthew saw through Eliza’s trick, but he still fell into the trap and almost got killed. That is why Dad is angry with him, right?” she asked.

“Almost got killed?” Anthony raised his eyebrows at this new information. Instantly, Sophie retold the whole story to Anthony. “Eliza is so cunning,” Anthony commented after he heard Sophie out. “Her ultimate goal was Matthew’s manor from the very beginning.”

With fake surprise, Sophie asked, “Do you mean she wouldn’t starve Matthew to death? Matthew said that he had or water for five days.” Anthony gave a disdainful look and said, “She doesn’t dare to.

“Dylan is away from Duke’s estate, but Dad hasn’t disowned him yet. Eliza will be doomed for sure if she kills Dylan and Matthew. She is Holy Lady, but they are the sons of Lord Mowbay anyway. Besides, they are her real brothers. I don’t think she has the guts to kill them.”

Outside Saint Grace Nunnery, Anthony almost got killed by Tina, who was obedient to Eliza. Even now, he still believed that Eliza’s order was a bluff. That was why he had such an interpretation of the whole mess caused by Matthew.

He didn’t know that he and Matthew had a narrow escape just because Eliza wanted to secure everything that had belonged to her mother and the Padilla family. Eliza would show no mercy to the Stonor family once they had nothing that interested her.
