Gabriel fainted from anger. After all, he had already vomited blood from anger once before, and the doctor had told him to pay attention to his emotions and not to get too excited in the future.
As a result, Gabriel fainted twice in the past few days because he was too excited.
In addition, the news that the gate of Duke’s estate had been splashed with dung for ten days in a row spread like wildfire.
So Magnus very kindly allowed him to rest at home and gave him a few more days off.
“Did Father really faint from anger because of that little bitch Eliza?” Sophie jumped out of bed as soon as she heard the
news.
Annie, the maid, nodded slightly. “Yes, Lady Stonor.”
“What happened? It’s been so noisy outside these past few days, and neither Matthew nor Anthony came to see me,” Sophie muttered.
Sophie was still recovering from her injuries, so she had not left the courtyard much these few days, and thus was unaware of the outside world.
However, when she realized that Matthew and Anthony had not come to visit her for several days, Sophie became alarmed. Since the news had already spread widely, there was no need to keep it a secret. Thus, Annie told Sophie everything that had happened in the Duke’s estate these past few days.
Sophie’s face instantly filled with disgust upon hearing this.
Sophie thought, ‘Those two useless fools, they can’t even accomplish such a simple task! They can’t even destroy a manor properly.
‘Even if they have to do it, why can’t they at least be discreet?‘
‘If they continue like this, sooner or later, the entire Duke’s estate’s reputation would be ruined by them, even before I become the legitimate daughter!‘
“The Duke needs to rest well these few days and cannot come to visit you, Miss. He asked you to recuperate well in the courtyard and only come out after your injuries have healed,” Annie said.
It meant that Sophie was not allowed to go out.
Sophie snorted coldly in her heart, but she still showed a concerned expression on her face. “Father is ill, how can I not go and see him as his daughter? Annie, help me pack up, I’m going to visit Father.”
Sophie stood up as she spoke.
Annie glanced at her, said nothing, turned and took Sophie’s clothes over.
With a pale face, Sophie barely managed to change her clothes and then walked out.
Annie followed behind her, and soon arrived at Gabriel’s courtyard.
But just as she reached the gate of the courtyard, Sophie turned to Annie and said, “Since Father is not feeling well, you have to go in. Fewer people will see, so as not to affect Father’s mood.”
Annie nodded upon hearing this, and waited outside the courtyard gate.

Sophie walked in alone, but when she was about to reach the door of the room, she suddenly turned and went to the other side.
Standing stealthily under a wall, Sophie raised her hand and knocked on the wall.
After a while, there was movement on the wall. And someone threw down a small package.
Sophie hurriedly caught it, opened it, and checked. After confirming that it was the flower seed she wanted, she quickly put it away.
Then Sophie left. Afterward, she went in to visit her father.
After seeing him, Sophie was driven back to the small courtyard to continue being grounded.
Sophie said, “Annie, go get me some flower seeds and bring some flower pots. I want to grow some flowers.
Annie glanced at her again but still said nothing. The flower seeds and pots were all prepared.
