The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 690

Chapter 690

“Your Grace, whatever are you implying? How could I dare to put anything improper in your coffee?” Sophie protested.

She couldn’t help but feel suspicious, wondering, ‘Did Eliza somehow notice the parasite eggs I slipped into her coffee?”

Eliza scoffed. “I never said it was something improper.”

‘Sophie confessed without being asked herself,‘ Eliza thought.

With Sophie’s expression frozen stiff, Eliza remarked coolly, “Normally, when people make coffee, they’d put some milk or sugar in it, wouldn’t they?”

Sophie let out a bitter laugh as she realized she’d been tricked.

Standing off to the side, Rafe also sighed in relief.

But the next moment, both Sophie and Rafe tensed up again because Eliza continued, “But then again, Sophie, you’re hardly what I’d call ‘ordinary.

Eliza picked up the coffee cup Rafe had left on the table after finishing his drink, twirled it between her fingers for a moment, then suddenly hurled it toward Sophie.

The cup shattered into pieces at Sophie’s feet.

Eliza took the handkerchief Renee handed her to wipe her hands. In a cold, almost icy tone, Eliza said, “There’s a blood feud between us. You wish you could tear me to pieces, and I wish I could crush you to ashes. With hatred like this, do you expect me to believe you wouldn’t seize the chance to do something? Like slipping something lethal into my

coffee?”

A tense, eerie silence instantly filled the hall.

Adeline and Dale watched the heated exchange in stunned silence.

And so was the poor Rafe, the only one who took the hardest hit.

After hesitating twice, Rafe gave up caring, thinking, ‘Whatever, whether it’s poison or parasites, Eliza can handle it. So what if I already drank it? It might even earn me some brownie points with Eliza.’

Feeling he wasn’t losing out, Rafe obediently settled in to enjoy the show.

Sophie suddenly lowered her head and chuckled, then burst into laughter. By the end of her laughter, it became shrill and piercing.

She said, “You’re right. Every damn word of it!”

Sophie stared at Eliza, seated in the seat of honor, her expression finally twisting into pure hatred. “There’s a blood feud between us,” she spat. “If it weren’t for you, I never would have fallen this low!

“Lord Celeb’s secondary wife? I am the daughter of the Duke of Mowbay. I should have been Celeb’s primary wife. But I lost everything because of you. You even cost me my life.

“Given all this, why shouldn’t I make my move against you?”

Sophie pointed at Eliza, her voice thick with venom. “You deserve to die by my hand. I’ll make you suffer until you think death is a mercy. And when you’re finally gone, I won’t tear you to pieces, for I will swallow you alive, bite by bite.

“You know what? Ever since I came back, I’ve had the same dream every night. In it, I sink my teeth into your flesh, drink your blood dry. skin, and rip out your tendons. While you scream in misery, I devour you completely, leaving nothing behind.

Dale also understood it all too well.

But it was precisely because he understood that he now hated his helplessness even more Bitty

Dale bowed to Eliza and said, “Your Grace, 1 humbly pay my respects. May you be blessed with enduring loom and grac*”

Adeline followed suit. “It’s my honor to see you, Your Grace. May your light shine eternally

“Rise,” said Eliza.

She had caught every one of Sophie’s subtle maneuvers.

But she chose not to say a word to stop her because she still needed to stall for a bit longer.

She needed to buy time for her precious poisonous parasites to encircle the Marquis’s estate so that, at her command, they could eradicate very late parasite without missing a single one.

‘As for Caleb,‘ Eliza thought, ‘killing the parasites inside him would be easy, but keeping him alive through it? That’s the real challenge Sophie his body into a breeding ground for those parasites. Now, he and those things share the same life force.

‘So, there’s only one way left. Vexara must tame the parasites inside him, drive them out of his body, and then nurse him back to health, at least to the point where he can survive the trauma of severing their life link. Only then will he have a chance to live.

‘It’s complicated, but there’s no better alternative for now. Maybe Mary would know what to do. I’ll ask her when I return to Saint Grace Nunnery

Thinking of this, Eliza instinctively reached for the coffee cup.

But as her gaze fell on the liquid inside, she wrinkled her nose in distaste and handed it off to her ever–loyal “lackey“.

Her ever–loyal lackey Rafe grinned as he took the coffee without hesitation and downed it in one gulp.

Watching him drink so readily and without suspicion, Eliza felt her resolve waver again. ‘This guy… Does he trust me that much? Isn’t he worried there’s something dangerous in there? How can he drink it immediately after I handed it to him? Doesn’t he care if it’s poisoned or something?”

“Your Grace, why aren’t you drinking the coffee I made for you myself? Or do you think I might have put something in it?” Sophie asked.

While threatening Adeline, Sophie never lost sight of Eliza out of the corner of her eye.

So she naturally noticed it when Eliza handed Rafe the cup of doctored coffee she had prepared.

Hearing that, Eliza cast a cool sidelong glance at her. “This is no mere suspicion. The coffee bears witness to your tampering.”

At those words, both Sophie and Rafe froze.

Sophie hadn’t expected her to be so blunt and was left speechless.

On the other hand, Rafe was stunned because he never expected Eliza to put him in danger like that.
