Eliza was puzzled by Adeline’s words. After all, she didn’t expect that Adeline would actually come to apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness.
Eliza seemed to have thought of something after pondering for a moment.
She looked at the three people in front of her and asked, “What will happen if I don’t forgive you?”
She was curious.
Adeline’s expression changed instantly, and she said in anger and embarrassment, “I’ve already apologized to you, and my son has knelt down to you. What else do you want?”
Eliza narrowed her eyes slightly. Seeing Adeline’s anxious look, she knew she had guessed correctly. It turned out that she had been threatened.
She thought, ‘No wonder this person who usually looks down on me would suddenly come to me to apologize. As for who threatened her…
To be honest, Eliza knew who it was without guessing. After all, in the entire Bortenland, there are only one or two who could make the entire Marquis’s estate submit
Eliza sneered, “I’ve already said that I don’t accept your apology.”
“Eliza, don’t go too far!” Caleb said angrily.
Eliza said with an expressionless face, “Even if I go too far, I’m not as excessive as you. You slandered me with no evidence. You are arrogant and self–righteous. You ruined my reputation. Compared with you two, I am never going too far.”
“You!”
“Also, don’t act as if you have been wronged so much. After all, it wasn’t you who were slandered and framed. Moreover, it’s clear that you didn’t come here to apologize sincerely. Is there any problem if I don’t want to forgive you?”
Caleb clenched his fists, his teeth gritted in anger.
Adeline’s face was so livid that Eliza suspected that if Dale hadn’t been here, she would have rushed forward and taught her a lesson like she used to.
“You are right.”
Just then, Dale suddenly said, “You are the victim, and only you know the injustice you have suffered. So if you are unwilling to forgive now, I can understand.”
Eliza didn’t answer. After speaking, Dale bowed to Eliza again, but this time to say goodbye. “I apologize for disturbing you today. After I return, I will have a good talk with my wife and son. I hope I can get your forgiveness next time.”
After that, Dale left Saint Ġrace Nunnery with Adeline and Caleb.
After watching them really leave, Sarah, who was hiding behind the door, poked her head out.
She looked surprised. “They left?”
Eliza nodded. “Yes, they left.”
Sarah shook her head in confusion.“I thought they came to make trouble today just like before, but I didn’t expect them to leave so easily today. Although what they said wasn’t very pleasant to hear, compared to before, today’s situation is much

better.”
Eliza smiled, her tone indifferent. “Perhaps it’s because their purpose in coming today is indeed different?
From Adeline’s words, it was clear that Nolan must have threatened them with something
Like when His Majesty demanded the same of the Duke’s family when he stood up for her.
Sarah said, “Forget it, let him be. It’s good that they can be like this”
Eliza thought the same thing.
But what she didn’t know was that, because of Nolan’s threat, Dale’s family had indeed settled down for the time being
On the other side, the Duke’s family seemed to be born restless.
“Anthony, you’ve noticed it too, haven’t you?” Sophie sat in Anthony’s courtyard, her eyes filled with worry as the poured out her heart to him. “Ever since Eliza left, Benedict and Dylan haven’t been the same. I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m really worried about them.”
After returning from Saint Grace Nunnery, Dylan not only hit Caleb, but he also stayed in the cemetery refusing to come out because Benedict punished him.
If Matthew hadn’t asked him if he still wanted to prepare a gift for Eliza, Dylan wouldn’t have come out of the cemetery.
Since then, Matthew and Dylan often went out. Sophie tried to get them to take her with them several times, but neither Matthew nor Dylan agreed.
This made Sophie feel even more insecure. Unable to sit still any longer, Sophie immediately went to find Anthony.
Of the four brothers, Anthony was the smartest. But deep down, Sophie did not think highly of him.
After all, she had previously thought she only needed a puppet who was strong, but not smart.
But now it seemed all four brothers in this so–called Duke’s estate were useless. Anthony was still somewhat useful, but only to a certain extent.
Once she had drained the Stonor family of its value, these people would be nothing but useless burdens to her. At that time, she would have to find someone stronger and more powerful.
She already had a new target in mind. It was just that this person was still a bit tricky for her to handle at the moment.
After her last failure, Sophie did not rush into anything. After all, what she should be doing now was to further solidify her position in the Stonor family.
Thinking this to herself, however, Sophie’s face revealed nothing.
She still looked as innocent and kind as ever, and said with concern, “Anthony, can you help me think of a solution? I think Benedict and Dylan must have become like this recently because Eliza refuses to come back. I don’t want them to be so strange anymore. Please help me persuade them, or persuade Eliza.”
Anthony would definitely not do that for her. After all, Anthony also loathed Eliza.
