Chapter 75
Tule Marquis’s estate is going so far? Adeline found the situation laughable.
She sneered at Eliza and said, “Eliza, stop pretending. You know exactly what you’ve stolen from me. Do you need me to say it out loud and expose you? Don’t play games with me”
Eliza responded bluntly. “If you really believe I’ve stolen something from Marquis’s estate, then say it publicly right here”
“I was going to how some re pect because of your father, but since you’re insisting on acting shameless, I have no reason to

doza visited Marquis’s estate with the Holy Lady of Waltlen a few days ago to see Madam Nevill
“But after you two left that day, three bottles of snow cream mysteriously disappeared from Mrs. Nevill’s storeroom.
Adeline scoffed. “No one else visited the estate those days. If it wasn’t you two, then who else could it have been?”
“Snow cream? What’s that? Isn’t it just a common thing?” A curious commoner asked.
Someone nearby quickly explained, “Snow cream is a royal medicinal product. It’s said to not only enhance beauty but also has remarkable healing properties, including speeding up wound recovery and eliminating scars”
“Is it really that amazing? How come we’ve never heard of it?”
“It’s definitely that good! It’s a very expensive item.
“And like I said, it’s for royal use only. Ordinary folks like you, even those with wealth and power, might not have access to it. Only His Majesty and Her Majesty can give it out as a gift.”
“Oh my, the snow cream that Adeline lost was a gift from Her Majesty?”
“No wonder she’s so furious and insists on getting the Holy Lady to hand it over.”
“Though, the Holy Lady has a status similar to that of a princess. Does she still need to steal it?”
Although most of the people present believed Adeline’s words, there were still a few who sensed something was off and raised questions. However, their voices were drowned out by the crowd’s gossip.
Eliza sneered. “You’ve said all this, but it’s just your assumption that I’m the thief? If that’s the case, then let’s see who else dares to step into the Marquis’s estate again in Hasen City.”
“I don’t accuse someone without reason,” Adeline retorted, a mocking smile on her face. “But Eliza, I know you
well”
Adeline looked at Eliza with contempt. “Before you left Duke’s estate, you were pampered and lived in luxury. But when you came to Saint Grace Nunnery, you didn’t bring any of those fine things with you. How could you possibly handle the hardship here?”
“You must have regretted it later, but didn’t expect that your father and the others would be so disappointed in you that they severed all ties and forbade you from using the Stonor family name. With no other way out, you ended up on a stealing path, didn’t you?” Adeline said sarcastically,
She didn’t realize she was using her greatest malice to judge Eliza.
Hearing this, Eliza could only laugh bitterly. “I never thought that in your eyes, I would always be this ugly image.”
“You’re my own hunt, yet you despise me so much, Eliza thought, her heart growing colder. Every time, the members of the

Stonor family knew exactly how to hurt her the most.
“You’re nothing but a vile, jealous, and narrow–minded person. Adeline continued without hesitation, pointing at Eliza’s nose with disdain. “You disrespect your elders, show no regard for your brother, and always use underhanded methods to hurt your sister.
“You, a child without a mother, stealing? It’s completely within the realm of my expectations,”
“Done with that?” Eliza’s gaze shot up, her eyes filled with fury as she glared at Adeline. “Without a mother?”
Her eyes went and burning with fury. “Yes, I don’t have a mother, but how dare you, a senior, speak such harsh and heartless
