The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 473

It was a total of 3,500 dollars. Since Sophie had returned to the Duke’s estate, everything she had purchased had been more expensive than this amount.

Yet, it was this small sum of money that had her soaking in the freezing stream for half the night. It wasn’t until the very moment before dawn that she finally found the last coin buried in the mud at the bottom of the stream. She then struggled to climb onto the shore, too exhausted to even cry.

“Th–the last one string, can I go back now?” Sophie asked weakly,

Eliza finally rose to her feet after having tormented Sophie enough, and with a faint smile, she said, “Of course, you can go back.”

As soon as Eliza spoke, Sophie could no longer hold herself up. Her body, already frozen stiff, wavered slightly before she collapsed into the shallow water by the shore.

Until the second before she passed out, Sophie was still thinking that she never wanted to see those damn coins again in her life.

Eliza looked at the unconscious woman with cold eyes. “Take her back to the Marquis’s estate. Just make sure she doesn’t die on the way,” she instructed.

Eliza still needed Sophie to use her to reclaim the Padilla family inheritance that was still in Gabriel’s hands. Otherwise, she would have had Renee drown Sophie in the water right then and there.

Of course, drowning her outright would have been too merciful. So, Eliza planned to squeeze every last bit of usefulness out of Sophie before she killed her.

Sophie was quickly taken away. But Eliza did not return immediately. Instead, she turned and walked to the front of the little

cabin.

Eliza looked up at the small cabin, then took out a key and unlocked the door.

The key had been included in the envelope Dylan had given her, hidden beneath a farewell letter. It seemed Dylan had been afraid Eliza would be angry, so after leaving the key, he had written a small note.

The note essentially said that there was a gift waiting for her in the cabin, which had been prepared for her long ago. The person who was supposed to deliver it had only arrived recently, and Dylan had intended to move it to Saint Grace Nunnery to show her personally. Unfortunately, time had been short that day, and he hadn’t been able to move it. So, he had left the key for her.

If she wished, she could come and see it. If she didn’t want to, or if she didn’t like it, that was fine too. He would prepare something even better for her when he returned.

Neither the letter nor the note mentioned what the gift was. When Eliza opened the cabin door and was enveloped by a strong scent of roses, she was taken aback.

It was roses. The small cabin was filled with roses, some single stems, some in small bunches, and some in large bundles. They were placed everywhere in the cabin, ensuring that as soon as she entered, she would see the room full of roses and smell the overwhelming fragrance of the fresh snow roses.

Even Renee, standing outside, caught a whiff of the floral scent and couldn’t help but peek inside.

Eliza stood at the doorway for a while before stepping into the cabin. She walked past the individual roses and finally stopped in front of the table, where a plain clay vase held a few of the most beautiful roses. Eliza pursed her lips slightly.
