The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 424

424.Chapter 424

Sophie dragged the wooden box out from under Dylan’s bed

As she pulled it out, the coins inside jingled noisily, the sound sparking a flicker of excitement in her heart. When she opened the box and saw it stuffed full of strings of copper coins, her eyes lit up with delight “So, this is where he’s been hiding his stash,” she muttered, a sly grin creeping onto her face Looking at the overflowing box, Sophie couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy. This was exactly what she needed. She had been fretting over her lack of funds, but now that Dylan had this much money, it might as well be hers After all, it was only a matter of time before she dragged Dylan back home where he belonged.

“Let’s see just how much my dear brother has saved up, she said, her tone laced with mockery

Without hesitation, she tipped the box over, spilling the strings of coins onto the floor in a noisy cascade

The neatly tied strings of copper coins didn’t interest her at all. She dug through the pile with both hands, her movements growing more frantic by the second

But after rummaging through the heap several times, she realized with a sinking feeling that it was all just copper coins Her grin vanished in an instant.

She thought, What the hell? A box this big, and it’s nothing but copper coins?”

Sophie had been so sure there’d be silver, maybe even some banknotes tucked away. However, it was just copper coins. She thought. Was Dylan seriously living like a pauper with this pathetic excuse for savings?

Fuming. Sophie grabbed a string of coins and hurled it at the wooden box with all her might.

The sharp clatter echoed through the still night, loud enough to immediately catch Matthew’s attention outside. “What’s wrong, Sophie? Did something happen?”

Hearing Matthew’s hurried footsteps approaching outside the door, Sophie snapped back to her senses and quickly called out, “No, it’s nothing! Don’t come in, Matthew! I just slipped while changing clothes.”

Hearing that she was changing clothes, Matthew naturally hesitated and didn’t push the door open.

Standing outside, he asked worriedly, “Are you sure you’re okay? Did you hurt yourself badly? Should I call for a doctor?”

‘A doctor? With what money?” Sophie thought, rolling her eyes since he couldn’t see her expression.

But she kept her tone sweet and replied, “No need, Matthew. I’m fine, really. It’s not serious.”

Just as she finished speaking, an idea struck her like lightning. Her eyes lit up, and she suddenly gasped, clutching her foot as if in pain. “Wait, Matthew! My foot might actually be worse than I thought!”

Matthew, who had just started to relax, tensed up again at her sudden change of tone. “What? Are you sure it’s not a fracture?”

“I don’t think it’s a fracture,” Sophie replied, feigning a wince. “But I might’ve twisted it. It hurts whenever I try to put weight

on it.”

Sophie almost wanted to pat herself on the back.

She thought, “I am a genius, if my foot was injured, I wouldn’t be able to walk.

‘And there is no way Dylan would be heartless enough to kick me out when I am hurt!

If he dared, Matthew would definitely stand up to him.

Dylan might act cold, but he still had some brotherly affection for Matthew, If Matthew really pushed back, Dylan would have no choice but to relent.

By tomorrow, everything would fall perfectly into place for Sophie.

A sly smile crept across Sophie’s face as the idea took shape.

Her eyes drifted down to her foot

This wasn’t enough yet.

en if it wasn’t an actual sprain, it

If she wanted Dylan and Matthew to fall for it, she needed to make the injury look real. Even had to be convincing enough to fool them.

Successfully unlocked!

With that thought, Sophie gritted her teeth, her gaze sauny un we wouden box. A flash of ruthless determination flickered in her eyes.

Outside, Matthew was growing increasingly frantic. Sophie had gone quiet for too long after her last words, and he couldn’t help but call out, “Sophie, are you okay? Is it really bad? If it hurts that much, I’ll take you to the doctor right now!”

Just as Matthew was about to lose his mind with worry, a sharp scream pierced the air from inside the hut

This was followed by a loud crash, as if something heavy had hit the ground.
