The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 450

450.Chapter 450

Benedict’s voice rang out, sharp and commanding, cutting through the tension in the room. He fixed Matthew with a cold, piercing glare. “Matthew, shut your mouth! If you have even a shred of gratitude for what Mother did to raise you, then keep your mouth shut. Not another word!”

Matthew opened his mouth to speak, but Dylan’s earlier words echoed in his mind.

He thought, ‘Could Sophie really have harbored such cruel intentions toward our mother back then?‘

Sophie looked at him with tear–filled eyes, her face streaked with blood and tears. She was a pitiful sight, utterly wretched, but the weight of her actions made it impossible to feel sympathy. “Matthew… please…”

Dylan clenched his fists, his voice icy and unyielding. “Matthew, if you dare defend her, one of us isn’t leaving this room alive.”

In the end, Matthew closed his eyes and turned his head away.

And with that, Sophie’s last glimmer of hope was extinguished.

He said, “Sophie, you shouldn’t have done that.”

Even if Sophie had poisoned him, Matthew could have forgiven her.

Because deep down, he felt he owed her that much.

But tampering with their mother’s remains crossed the line.

Back then, Matthew had sensed something was off, but he chose to turn a blind eye.

After all, Eliza had already taken their mother’s remains.

But now, with Dylan exposing the truth in front of everyone, and Sophie’s reaction giving it all away, Matthew could no longer deceive himself.

His voice was sharp and unyielding. “Is that all you’re going to do?”

Sophie snapped her head toward him, her eyes blazing with anger.

She thought, ‘What did he mean by “is that all“?‘

“Benedict, what more do you want?” Her voice was filled with fury as she glared at him.

But Benedict didn’t even spare her a glance. His focus remained on Gabriel, his tone cutting like a blade. “She’s just an illegitimate child, yet she’s been wreaking havoc in this family time and time again. Poisoning people, stirring up trouble, it’s all because you’ve spoiled her too much, Father.

“Every time she made a mistake, you brushed it aside, saying she needed a chance to change. But she’s never shown the slightest remorse. Now that things have escalated to this point, I have to ask, how much longer are you going to keep her

around?

“Do you really want to see our family fall apart because of her?”

Benedict’s words hung heavy in the air, plunging the courtyard into a suffocating silence. No one dared to speak, except Sophie.

“Benedict Stonor!” Sophie let out a piercing scream, her voice trembling with rage as she called his full name.

She staggered to her feet, her bloodied hands clutching at Benedict’s clothes as she stumbled toward him. Her face twisted with fury, her voice shaking as she shouted, “What do you want from me? Are you trying to drive me to my death? Is
