Chapter 4

Stonor stumbled and collided with the sharp corner of the vanity.

She clenched her lips, already understanding the situation–just like in her past life, the same tricks Sophie had pulled on her were happening.

Seeing

gexpression, Eliza instantly realized she was about to fall into another one of her schemes.

Bending down to gather the scattered gown, Eliza said, with a calm facade. “Honestly, I don’t understand. What did I do to upset you so much, Sophir? Why don’t you enlighten me?”

Before Sophie could open her mouth, Dylan Stonor cut in, his voice sharp. “You know exactly what you’ve done!”

Eliza’s eyes grew colder. She couldn’t help but think–she hadn’t realized it before, but now it was clear. Dylan was blind to the truth.

Right under his nose, he couldn’t even see who the real culprit was and who was innocent.

Maybe, even if he could see, he’d still choose to believe whatever Sophie cold him.

Dylan shot Eliza a furious look, then turned to pat Sophie on the shoulder, comforting her in a voice that was almost too sweet, “Don’t worry, Sphic, If something’s wrong, just tell me. I’ll make sure everything’s set right

The closeness between them was almost suffocating, and Dylan didn’t even try to hide it.

Sophie blinked her doe–like eyes, her voice trembling with faux distress, “Dylan, it hurts so much”

Sophie knew exactly how to push Dylan’s buttons. She didn’t need to say much–just a few words, and Dylan was already seeing red.

But first, she had to get through today’s coming–of–age ceremony, because that marriage contract still hung over her.

As for Dylan’s threat to stop me from attending. Even if he’s the second son of the Duke, he’s not at the point where he can control everything. she thought bitterly.

The whole city of Hasen knew that today, the Duke’s two daughters were holding their coming–of–age ceremony. If she skipped it, the rumors would fly.

And her father, Gabriel, would never let that happen.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Eliza placed the gown on the table and said. “If you think there’s something wrong with the gown, Dylan, feel free to

check it”

She was done waiting time on this stubborn, blind fool

With that, Eliza turned and walked into her room, pulling our a simple sky–blue dress from the wardrobe to change into

Meanwhile, outside, Dylan was

The gown, which had once been neatly folded, was now a complete meu–thanks to Dylan’s rummaging-

Sophie, standing nearby, peered in. Though she hadn’t been the one to go through it, she was sure Eliza had tampered with the gown. Her eyes stayed hard on the pile of clothes.

Just then, footsteps echoed down the hallway. Both of them glanced up at the same time.
