The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 441

441.Chapter 441

She didn’t ask. It was a statement.

Up until now, Diana had been wondering whether the masked assassins chasing her were sent by Sophie or perhaps some other faction that had caught wind of her impending rise to empress

But the moment she saw Isabelle, everything clicked into place.

Gritting her teeth, Diana straightened her battered frame and sneered. “You couldn’t wait to make your move the second you heard I was back in Hasen City, huh? I didn’t realize you hated me this much.”

Diana had always known Isabelle harbored a strange hostility and hatred toward her

She’d thought it was because of the time she stormed into the Henderson estate, publicly exposing Isabelle’s betrayal and dragging her reputation through the mud, making everyone in Hasen City see her as heartless and ungrateful.

She scoffed, her tone laced with derision. “Look at you. You are a nobody, an unwanted illegitimate daughter. What could you possibly have that I’d want?”

Isabelle’s eyes turned bloodshot, her voice rising to a shrill pitch. “You took Eliza from me!”

That single accusation made Diana pause for a moment before she threw her head back and laughed, her voice dripping with scorn. “You’re accusing me of taking Eliza from you?”
