The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103

Eliza had expected that Gabriel would come to see her today.

But she didn’t expect that her always–steady father would be in such a hurry. He came to her to soon.

Mary looked at her immediately. “Should I go out and deal with him?”

Eliza smiled and said to Mary, “I know what he’s here for. Don’t bother, Reverend.”

“Okay, just remember what I told you.”

Eliza nodded, then lifted her feet and followed the maid out. Gabriel was waiting at the corner not far from the hall.

Seeing Eliza come out, he didn’t move, just waited for Eliza to come forward,

But unfortunately, Eliza did not meet his exs. After glancing at him, she stopped at the entrance of the side hall

From a distance, she asked, “Since you want to see me, why don’t you come closer?”

Gabriel was a little surprised to hear this. He di

didn’t expect that after only two months, she would be so wary of him.

After a pause, Gabriel put his hands behind his back and waved, then walked towards Eliza.

Eliza’s eyes passed over Gabriel’s shoulder, staring at the corner behind him.

Although she saw nothing, Eliza had a hunch that someone was there.

That was why Eliza didn’t go over. When he got closer, they stood 10 feet apart, looking at each other.

Gabriel was the first to speak, and his first words went straight to the point. “Is the antidote in your hands or your mentor’s?”

Eliza smiled faintly. “What are you talking about, Duke? I don’t quite understand.”

So he said calmly, “Tell me, what will it take for you to hand over the antidote?”

Eliza still shook her head. “I told you, I really don’t understand what you’re talking about. If you have nothing else to say, please leave.”

He wanted to force her to admit it, but she was no fool. Gabriel didn’t expect her to be so stubborn.

His face turned cold. “You took your mother’s memorial plaque and dowry, leaving nothing for your four brothers. We have never held it against you. But now you are making things difficult for Anthony. Don’t you feel even slightly guilty?”

“I won’t attack unless I am attacked first, Your Grace. Isn’t that what you taught me?”

Eliza looked into his eyes. “From the matter of my mother’s dowry to your visit today, have I ever been the one to stir up

trouble?”

Gabriel paused. He had no retort.

Eliza smiled. “You ask what I want, but you already know the answer. You know that we are both pretending to be oblivious. I’m fine. After all, I’m not the one who’s poisoned. But how long can you stall? Or rather, how long can Anthony hold on?”

She turned to leave for the palace, but not before saying, “You don’t have much time left. If I don’t see your sincerity before the party ends, then you don’t need to come to me again”

She could fight for what she wanted herself. Gabriel stared at her retreating figure until it disappeared behind the palace

This year, because Eliza was no longer in the Stonor family, the person representing the Duke’s estate to present gifts to the Empress Dowager naturally fell to Sophie.

Sophie would certainly not miss such a good opportunity to stand out and show off in front of the Empress Dowager.

Sure enough, she received praise from the Empress Dowager.

When she sat back in her original seat, she gave Eliza a smug and provocative look.

It was as if she was saying, “See? The Duke’s estate is mine now.”

Unfortunately, Eliza didn’t even look at her. The only reason she knew Sophie was provoking her was because Sarah had given her a vivid and detailed account of it.

Eliza smiled and took a sip of drink from her cup.

Due to her status as the Holy Lady, her seat at the party couldn’t be low. In addition, Mary had a special relationship with the royal family, so the people from Saint Grace Nunnery were seated higher than the Duke’s estate.

The Prince Regent’s seat happened to be on the other side.

After watching a few performances, the Empress waved her hand, telling everyone to enjoy themselves, and left the banquet.

The Emperor naturally accompanied her and sent her back to her chambers to rest.

This left the Prince Regent as the only member of the royal family present.

But he had already been asked a favor by someone. He looked back at Eliza, and then stood up with a smile. “I feel a little tipsy after all that wine. I’m going to go for a walk. Please, everyone, enjoy yourselves.”

After the three most important figures left, the atmosphere in the main hall obviously became much more relaxed.

As Eliza expected, someone couldn’t wait to approach her. “Eliza, I didn’t expect you to come to the Empress Dowager’s birthday party today. What a coincidence.”
