Just by looking at her face, Eliza knew that she must be furious with her words.
Moreover, after Eliza finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows and gave Sophie a look of disdain.
It was filled with provocation.
It was as if she was returning the favor for Sophie’s earlier action.
Just as the Stoner family was about to intervene, someone was faster than them.

Caleb, Sophie’s biggest admirer, glared at Eliza and said, “Eliza! Enough! Don’t think that you can insult Sophie just because you’re the Holy Lady! With me around, you can’t bully her!”
However, just as he finished speaking, the person sitting behind him suddenly reached out and put him in a headlock.
Grant said with a smirk, “Caleb, what business is it of yours when these two ladies are talking?”
Before the party, Grant had searched everywhere for Caleb. When he couldn’t find him, he had planned to wait until the end of the party to confront him.
However, before the party even ended, Caleb couldn’t help but jump out and cause trouble.
Grant, of course, did not hesitate to stand up and restrain Caleb. “If you have something to say, you can say it to me. But in front of the Holy Lady, you better watch your words.”
No one present expected that Grant would actually speak up for Eliza.
Even Percival Fletcher, the Minister of Revenue, couldn’t help but look at his son in surprise.
He thought, ‘What’s wrong with this kid today?‘
Caleb frowned in displeasure and tugged at his hand. “Grant, what are you talking about? Not only are you not helping me, but you’re actually speaking for Eliza? Let go of me. I don’t want to fight with you here.”
“Neither do I,” Grant repeated his words with a cold smile and then withdrew his hands.
Caleb didn’t catch the underlying meaning of his words and just thought Grant was joking with him.
After he let go, Caleb looked at Eliza and warned again, “Remember what I just said, do you hear me?“,
Eliza ignored him.
She just gave Grant a strange look.
Grant had been looking for an opportunity to apologize to Eliza. When he saw her looking at him, he instinctively straightened up and gave a silly grin.
Percival asked, “Son, what are you grinning about?”
After Eliza had looked away, Grant immediately straightened his face. “Nothing. Who’s grinning?”
Percival watched as his son’s expression changed and felt speechless.
Eliza sat back down after Sophie left the seat next to her.
She took the cup that Sarah had refilled for her, swirling it gently in her hand. She then tipped her head back and took a

large gulp, placing the cup on the table.
She felt that it was about time for the main event.
Gabriel had been keeping an eye on Eliza.
He had been expecting Eliza to make a move today and was prepared.

However, he didn’t expect that after the atmosphere at the party calmed down a bit, the person who stood up again was actually behind him.
Similarly, when Sophie was feeling smug, with Caleb backing her up and the people from the Stonor family indulging her, the one who suddenly stood up and stabbed her in the back was actually the one who was least likely to escape her control.
“Eliza, I forgot to prepare a birthday present for you when I went to Saint Grace Nunnery to celebrate your birthday half a month ago. I will make it up to you today.” After Matthew got up, he walked up to Eliza and gave her the dagger he carried with him.
Eliza smiled, took the dagger, and glanced at Sophie, who was already frozen in place behind him.
She said, “Nice gift. Thank you, Matthew.”
It was just a very ordinary conversation.
But at this moment, it caused an uproar in the entire hall.
Gabriel’s face darkened almost instantly.
