“Injured?” Diana froze for a moment, her eyes darting to Matthew’s back. Sure enough, there were blotches of blood soaking through his clothes.

Diana’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Matthew, so this is your game? Let me make one thing clear. I never whipped your Trying to pin this on me? Do you think I’m dumb enough to fall for it?”

back!

“You!” Matthew was furious. ‘Stupid woman!”

Matthew was fuming. He didn’t bother waiting for Diana to help him up. Gritting his teeth, he clumsily pushed himself off the ground, glaring at her with fury. “Who the hell said I was trying to frame you? Just look at my back. It’s covered in wounds! Can’t you show a little sympathy for once?”

Diana rolled her eyes dramatically. “Sympathy? For you? You think you deserve it?”

“Let me tell you, save your pity act. That nonsense doesn’t work on mer

If she had any sympathy to spare, it’d be for Eliza, not this heartless bastard.

She knew everything, even about the whip marks on Eliza’s back when she left to become a nun,

Though the details weren’t widely spread, the Baker family had their own ways of uncovering secrets.

Finding out such things was effortless.

But it was precisely because she knew so much that Diana’s anger toward Matthew and the Stonor family burned so fiercely.

Her hatred for that legitimate daughter, Sophie, was even deeper!

“Who’s trying to play the victim here?” Matthew practically jumped in frustration.

He had indeed planned to pull the sympathy card, but Diana saw through him in an instant.

And she didn’t just call him out–she tore into him without holding back.

Matthew’s face burned with embarrassment.

The anger in his chest swelled uncontrollably, threatening to boil over.

If it had been anyone else standing in front of him, he might have already drawn his blade in a fit of rage!

When Gabriel saw that Matthew couldn’t even handle a single woman, his face turned as dark as a storm cloud.

But the moment Diana turned her gaze toward him, his expression shifted in an instant, transforming into one of kind helplessness.

“Diana, it’s been a while. How’s your grandfather doing these days?”

Hearing Gabriel address her, Diana had no choice but to turn around and offer him a proper bow.

Though she had a fiery and bold personality, she came from a family of esteemed scholars, so her manners were always impeccable when she chose to follow them.

Up first.

“Gabriel, it’s a pleasure to see you. My grandfather is in excellent health, thank you for asking. I actually went to the Stonor family a few days ago intending to visit you, but unfortunately, you weren’t home. It’s so thoughtful of you to come all the way here to check on me today. It was my fault.”

She said with a sweet smile, deliberately twisting the purpose of Gabriel’s visit into a gesture of concern for her, leaving him to figure out how to bring up the real reason without losing face.

Gabriel’s lips twitched slightly, barely noticeable, but his expression remained calm and unbothered. With a faint smile, he said, “it’s no trouble. I was planning to visit Eliza anyway. She’s still upset with me over some earlier matters. Liza, could you help me call her out? I’ve brought gifts for both of you. Why don’t you take a look together?”

As Gabriel spoke, he signaled the butler to unload the gifts from the carriage.

Several large chests were carried down, each packed with treasures.

“Alright, let me take a look first, Diana said.

She stepped down the stairs without hesitation and walked over to the pile of gifts, inspecting them one by one.
