The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

The Silent 420 420.Chapter 420 Dylan's gaze shifted to Sophie, his eyes sharp and unyielding: That look made Sophie instinctively shrink back, her anger bubbling up.

She thought, 'It's all Eliza's fault! if it weren't for her, Dylan wouldn't have turned into this cold, unrecognizable person" Back then, Dylan wouldn't have dared to treat her this way.

All it took was one pitiful glance from her, and he'd be falling over himself to obey He had been so loyal, but now he was completely on Eliza's side This only made Sophie hate her more.

Sophie gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with determination.

She thought, "This might just be my chance.

'If I can get Dylan back, I'll have my loyal dog again.

'And even if I can't, I've got something even better up my sleeve.

Because of Benedict, she hadn't dared to use those flowers back at the Duke's estate, but now they were far from Hasen City.

Besides, Dylan had already fallen out of favor with their father.

Even if she used the Poisonous Flower on him, she felt that Gabriel wouldn't blher.

Sophie still had the Poisonous Flower.

To be precise, she had the seeds of the Poisonous Flower.

Luckily, she'd kept the seeds hidden all along, just in case Gabriel tried to take them away.

If he had taken them, she'd have no leverage left at all.

Now that she was here, Sophie saw the perfect chance to secretly plant the seeds. If persuasion didn't work, she'd have no choice but to use force.

With the Poisonous Flower, she'd make Dylan submit. Then, she could stol him from helping Eliza.

A flurry of thoughts swirled in Sophie's mind.

Once she had her plan in place, she lowered her gaze, her voice trembling as if on the verge of tears. "Dylan, the truth is. Matthew and I didn't just cto visit you. We... we've been kicked out of the house by Father." "Kicked out of the house?" Dylan scoffed, his lips curling into a mocking smile. He pressed down on Matthew's shoulder with one hand and pointed to himself with the other. "Do I look like the gullible fool who'd fall for your lies again?" His tone was sharp and unyielding. "Father dotes on you so much. Even if he threw everyone else out of the Duke's estate, he'd never kick you out." He could believe Matthew had been thrown out, but definitely not Sophie.

"It's true!" Sophie's voice rose in urgency. "Matthew and I made a mistake that angered Father so much he fell ill In his fury. he kicked us both out.

"We had nowhere else to go, so we had no choice but to cto you, Dylan." Matthew, gritting his teeth against the pain in his shoulder, added, "Dylan, Sophie's telling the truth. We're broke, and Father was so furious he didn't even let us take anything. We had to walk all the way from Hasen City to get here. That's why it's so late." Having figured out the best way to approach Dylan, Matthew softened his tone considerably.

He even adopted a humble and apologetic demeanor, looking genuinely pitiful.

Dylan said, "Alright, then tell me, what exactly did you do to make Father so furious that he kicked you out?" Matthew had already prepared his excuse and presented it without hesitation. "Dylan, you probably already know. Benedict suddenly fell gravely ill not long ago. He almost didn't make it...

"What did you just say?" Dylan's face twisted in disbelief.

He had been spending his days at the foot of widened in disbelief. "You're kidding, right? WI Successfully unlocked! sopor running errands in the village. His eyes I could he suddenly get so sick? And tha He thought, 'Benedict was always so healthy. How could he have been on the brink of death?" Dylan's mind raced back to the last the saw Benedict at the Duke's estate. Back then, Benedict had looked awful, like he was seriously ill.

12: 420 Chapter 420 He thought, "Was he already sick then? Is that why he looked so terrible?" "Tell me! Hurry up and tell me! What exactly happened to Benedict? Dylan didn't even glance at Sophie. He grabbed. Matthew by the collar, his voice sharp with urgency.

"I don't know!" Matthew quickly replied, "Father didn't tell us anything. The only ones who know the truth about Benedict's condition are Father and Dr. Garraway If you want answers, you'll have to ask them But Dylan wouldn't go to Gabriel for answers. Even if he did, he would just cover it up.

As for Chad, Gabriel had already made sure he wouldn't spill the truth about Benedict's poisoning All anyone outside the family knew was that the eldest son of the Duke's estate had nearly died from an illness. There was one other person who knew, Eliza.

After all, the way she had threatened them with the Snow Lotus earlier made it clear she had figured something out.

But Matthew wasn't worried. Even if Eliza knew Benedict had been poisoned, or even that Sophie was behind it, it didn't matter. She had no proof.

So even if Dylan went to ask Eliza, Matthew had ways to deal with it.

"But you don't need to worry, Dylan. Benedict's already recovered and will be back to normall soon," Matthew added: Hearing this, Dylan finally let out a partial sigh of relief. Dylan only half-believed them, still harboring doubts about Matthew and Sophie's words.

He figured he'd need to see Benedict himself tomorrow to confirm whether Benedict was truly okay.

For now, his focus was on figuring out what these two.

"Alright. What does your so-called mistake have to do with Benedict being sick?" Dylan asked, narrowing his eyes suspiciously

Matthew forced a stiff smile, his lips barely moving. "Since you haven't heard about Benedict falling ill, I'm guessing you also don't know that Diana and I have called off our engagement?" Dylan froze, staring at Matthew in shock. "You and Diana broke off your engagement?" Dylan knew better than anyone how deeply his twin brother cared for Diana.

Matthew had been so devoted to her that he never spared a glance for any other young lady, always resolute in his determination to marry her someday,

When their engagement was finalized, Matthew, who had no talent for carving, spent months learning how to sculpt emeralds. Despite injuring his hands repeatedly, he painstakingly crafted a pendant for Diana as a token of their love. It was the only piece he had ever completed in a year of practice and the only one he had ever gifted. And now, the sMatthew who had poured his heart into that pendant was claiming he had ended the engagement. Dylan found it almost impossible to believe.
