“Deep bond? Caleb, stop slandering people! You’re the one who’s up to no good, and you have the nerve to accuse others!” Eliza had yet to react when Grant directly lashed out at Caleb.
His spittle almost landed on Caleb’s face.
Caleb retorted, “What did you say? I dare you to say that again! Who are you calling a scoundrel?”
“You!” Grant found Caleb more and more disagreeable.
Grant found Caleb more and more disagreeable.
He asked, “Want me to expose your secrets and let everyone hear about all the shady and framing things you did a while back?”
“Shut up!” Caleb knew what Grant was talking about as soon as he heard this.
He immediately flushed with anger.
He cursed in his heart, ‘Which son of a bitch dares to spread my story?
‘If I knew, I would tear that person apart!‘
Seeing that the two boys were about to fight, Dale got up and wanted to stop them.
As a result, as soon as he moved, Percival grabbed his arm. “Dale, it’s just a few kids quarreling and bickering here. What are we adults interfering with? Let them quarrel by themselves. It’s not a big deal.”
“But there is still the Duke…”
“It’s okay, if your brother–in–law really wants to settle accounts with that girl, he won’t choose this time.”
After all, this was the Empress Dowager’s birthday party. Although the Empress Dowager left early, if someone came out to ruin the party, neither the Emperor nor the Prince Regent would let that person off.
That was one of the reasons Eliza deliberately chose this day to release the information.
The reason for getting rid of Nolan was also very simple.
Sophie would not dare to make a scene if the powerful Prince Regent was still
present.
As long as she revealed herself, Eliza could then release that piece of ambiguous information, and the smart people would see through not only Sophie’s true identity, but also the mask of innocence and kindness she had been wearing for so long.
A truly innocent and kind person would not enjoy trampling on others like she did.
The party actually ended with Grant and Caleb going outside to fight.
However, because of Caleb’s interruption, Grant finally got the opportunity to apologize as he wished.
Of course, that was just Grant’s own interpretation.
Eliza original said, “Since I don’t remember having any entanglement with you, it means I have never been angry with you, so there is no need for an apology. As for the birthday gift, I thank you for the thought, but there’s no need to give me anything.”
On the carriage ride back home, Grant sat there covering his face, overwhelmed with emotion and guilt. “The Holy Lady is

“I used to mock her, look down on her, and even because of a misunderstanding, I let Caleb harass her. But in the end, she actually said she never got angry with me. How could she be so nice?
“I must have been blind before to believe those people’s nonsense! I think someone was jealous of the Holy Lady and spread these rumors!”
In any case, in his eyes, Eliza was the most gentle and kind person in the world.
Percival tugged at the corner of his mouth speechlessly, looked at his silly son, and couldn’t help but complain, “I think I know why you used to hang out with Caleb.”
Now when Grant heard that, he immediately retorted angrily, “Dad, don’t mention that guy in front of me in the future. I might not be a great guy, but I will never be like him.”
Caleb actually framed his ex–fiancée after he did something shady. It was simply shameless in Grant’s eyes.
He would not want to be associated with such a disgraceful man.
Stealing was only a matter of morality, but framing others was a matter of character.
He felt that he had been polite enough that he didn’t point at Caleb’s nose at the party today and scold him for being wicked and cowardly.
Percival stroked his beard and said with a smile, “Well, let’s not talk about it. But you shouldn’t go too far. After all, he is the only son of Mr. Nevill, and his uncle is the Duke of Mowbay. Since the Prince Regent has already taught him a lesson, you should stay out of it.”
“Dad, don’t worry. I don’t bother with him now. I have something important to do.”
Grant said cheerfully, “I promised to give the Holy Lady a birthday gift, so I have to prepare it well.”
Percival glanced at his silly son, thought for a moment, and then lectured him earnestly, “Since you are going to prepare a birthday gift, you should put some thought into it. Don’t just buy something expensive. The Holy Lady still needs to cultivate herself and pray for the country. If you give her some gold, silver, jewelry, or other external things, I’m afraid you will insult her practice.”
Grant, who was enlightened by his father, suddenly realized, “Yes, what you said makes sense. Then what should I do?”
“It’s up to you to choose, but remember two words, ‘appropriate“”
Grant stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Just as Percival thought he understood what he meant, Grant suddenly turned his head and asked in confusion, “Dad, isn’t that one word?”
Percival was speechless.
He thought, “That is all you think about?‘
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Benedict and Matthew, who had left earlier, had already arrived at the gate of Duke’s estate in their carriage.
The gatekeeper waited for a long time, and still no one got out of the carriage.
Unsure who was inside, the gatekeeper asked cautiously, “Is Mr. Stonor back?”

“Step back.” Benedict’s voice was three
Colder than usual.
Benedict’s voice was three times colder than usual.
The gatekeeper immediately recognized the voice as Benedict’s and bowed, “Yes, please let me know if there is anything you need.”
After saying that, the gatekeeper quickly retreated and wisely led the driver away.
Only when the carriage was empty did Benedict repeat his previous question with a sullen face, “What you said just now, is it true? Is Sophie really Father’s biological daughter?”
“Yes,” Matthew said calmly.
Matthew said calmly.
Benedict’s face turned even uglier when he heard his affirmative answer. “I don’t believe you. Unless you show me evidence that Father betrayed Mother, I will never believe it.”
Unfortunately, Matthew’s answer was quite straightforward. “There’s no evidence.”
Benedict suppressed his voice and said angrily, “How dare you say that without evidence? Do you know that if Father hears what you just said, you will be in big trouble?”
“I know, but since our trip to Saint Grace Nunnery, haven’t you had the slightest suspicion in your heart?”
