The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 470

“W–what is this?” Sophie shouted. She had initially dismissed the stone as nothing, but the moment it turned into a pile of ashen gray, a horrifying suspicion surged through her mind.

Sophie lunged at the pile of ashes, trembling as she scooped some up. The eerie, fine texture sent her into a scream, a heart–wrenching cry of “Ah, Eliza, I will kill you.”

‘How dare she? The kind Holy Lady? A nun? Eliza is nothing but a treacherous and malicious villain,‘ Sophie thought to herself.

“What’s wrong, Sophie? What happened?” Caleb was startled by Sophie’s hysterical breakdown and quickly moved to embrace her. “What is this thing that has you so upset?”

At the sound of his voice, Sophie turned and clung to him desperately, her eyes brimming with tears of despair and boundless hatred. She sobbed, “Caleb, Eliza dug up my mother’s remains.”

“What?” Caleb was utterly shocked.

The next moment, Adeline frowned and reprimanded sharply, “Silence. How dare you make such baseless accusations?”

“But there is evidence,” Sophie said, her eyes bloodshot as she pointed at the ashes. “If you don’t believe me, look closely. This is not just any stone. It’s my mother’s ashes.”

Sophie continued, “That bitch dug up my mother’s grave, burned her remains, and turned them into an ash stone as a gift for me. She is the epitome of evil and doesn’t deserve to be called a Holy Lady.”

Smack. Almost as soon as Sophie finished speaking, she was slapped hard across the face, her lips bleeding, and a bright red handprint quickly swelling on her made–up face.

“Mother, what are you doing? Eliza has gone too far, and you won’t stand up for Sophie, but you actually hit her?” Caleb was taken aback by his mother’s sudden action and only realized what was happening when he quickly moved to shield Sophie, indignantly questioning his mother.

“I’m hitting her because she’s a fool,” Adeline said, looking down at Sophie on the ground with burning anger. “Do you even realize your own position? How dare you call her a bitch?”

She added, “Eliza became a Holy Lady after leaving the Duke’s estate. And you? What are you? You’re a bastard child from the Duke’s estate. Once you leave, you’re nothing more than Caleb’s concubine.”

Adeline mercilessly and harshly mocked Sophie. “How dare you call a Holy Lady a bitch?

“And as for this pile of ashes, whether it’s real or fake, I’ll treat it as real, but how do you prove it’s your mother’s ashes? How do you prove Eliza dug up your mother’s grave and burned her remains? Do you think your mere words are enough to make it true?”

She added, “If you can’t produce real evidence, then your accusations are slandering the Holy Lady appointed by the king. It‘ s an offense against the Holy Lady and an act of deceiving the king.”

Adeline glared at her furiously. “If you want to die, go ahead and die somewhere else. Don’t you dare drag us into your mess.” “You-” Sophie was so furious she almost couldn’t catch her breath. Her head spun, and she collapsed into Caleb’s arms, her face pale.

“Shut up,” Adeline snorted coldly. “Now that you’re a member of the Marquis’s estate, I suggest you watch your words and actions. If you ever dare to spout nonsense again and harm our reputation, I will definitely have Caleb divorce you.” Sophie’s face darkened with anger. She wanted nothing more than to destroy Adeline.

She forced herself to swallow her rage and put on a look of grievance. “Caleb, I’m willing to be a concubine for you. With such devotion, would you really divorce me?”

‘Adeline is a madwoman. ‘She used to insist that Caleb treat me well, but this is how she treats me now?‘ Sophie thought to herself. ‘The Stonor family is truly a bunch of no–goodniks. Just you wait.

‘Neither the Marquis’s estate nor the Duke’s estate will escape my revenge, especially Eliza. Anyone who dares to humiliate me today will pay the price. And Adeline and the Marquis’s estate will be the first.‘

“Of course not,” Caleb said, cherishing Sophie deeply. He carefully supported her and coaxed her gently. “Sophie, rest assured. My feelings for you are genuine. I would never divorce you.”

Only then did Sophie feel satisfied. ‘That’s righ Successfully unlocked!ey can earn my favor, she thought to herself. It didn’t matter to Sophie that Caleb was Adelines Sun. As only as sie au Caleb, the sole heir to the Marquis’s estate, in the palm of her hand, the entire estate would eventually belong to her.

Sophie didn’t expect that in the next moment, Caleb would say hesitantly, “But my mother is looking out for us. What she said is true. After all, you will be a part of the Marquis’s estate. So, Sophie, I think you should listen to my mother more in
