Chapter 112
It was very simple to solve this matter. Eliza could guess who had poisoned Matthew, causing him to vomit blood and fall
unconscious.
Yesterday at the party, Matthew had looked fine, so the poison could only have been administered after he returned.
In such a short period, it would be impossible for the poisoner to completely erase all traces.
So now the easiest way was to search directly.
As soon as Eliza made this request, Gabriel refused without hesitation. “Impossible!
“My Duke’s estate is not a place where anyone can search it, even if you are the Prince Regent!”
Nolan sneered. He was about to speak when Eliza, who was standing beside him, suddenly reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Nolan paused and did not speak.
Eliza spoke for him.
She smiled and said, “Your Highness indeed does not have this right, but please be clear about your current situation, Duke. It is not that Nolan and I insisted on coming to your Duke’s estate, but that you begged us to come.”
Benedict, who was standing at the side, frowned when he heard Eliza’s words. He thought it was the same as before, and subconsciously began to preach, “Eliza, how can you talk to Father like that…”
But before he could finish, Dylan grabbed him.
Dylan stared at him intently, gripping his arm, and reminded him, “Benedict, remember who you are.”
The word
stopped Benedict in his tracks.
It was then he remembered that Eliza was not the same girl from before.
She was now the esteemed Holy Lady, her status even surpassing their father’s.
Thinking of this, Benedict’s heart grew heavy with complicated emotions, rendering him speechless.
Gabriel said coldly, “This is laughable. I don’t recall ever begging you.”
Eliza raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t you? You came to Saint Grace Nunnery, begging me to save your sons since they were unconscious from poisoning. That’s why I agreed to come to the Duke’s estate.”
Gabriel laughed angrily, “You’re the one who poisoned them. I was not there to beg you, but to arrest you.”
“Do you have any evidence?”
Eliza’s rhetorical question hit Gabriel like a ton of bricks. “Do you have any evidence?”
Nolan, who was standing at the side, smiled and chimed in, “That’s right. Do you have any evidence? If you don’t have any evidence, you’d better be careful what you say. After all, casually bringing people to Saint Grace Nunnery to arrest the Holy Lady who is praying for the country is a serious crime of disrespecting His Majesty.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense.
Gabriel stared at the two of them with a livid expression.

Only now did he finally understand why Eliza had suddenly agreed to return to the estate with him, and why Nolan had insisted on following Eliza.
These two had clearly planned this all along, and that wass why they came to his Duke’s estate to stir up trouble.
“Did Nolan give you this idea?”
Gabriel stared at Eliza and asked, “Did Nolan give you this idea?*
Eliza lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Nolan smiled. “What do you mean by ‘idea“? Duke of Mowbay, don’t take kindness for weakness. After all, the Holy Lady and I came here specifically to help you solve your problems.”
The truth was, this idea wasn’t Nolan’s at all.
He had originally planned to “pay a visit” to the Duke’s estate himself, just like he had done at the Marquis’s estate, to help them solve the case and investigate the poison.
Eliza wouldn’t have to return to the Duke’s estate.
But after hearing his words, Eliza shook her head. “No need, I know who poisoned them, so I will solve it this time.”
She not only wanted to solve this matter, but also deal with the person behind it.
After provocating her again and again, she wanted to teach them a lesson, so they would not continue to harass her endlessly.
So in the end, Eliza came, and the worried Nolan followed.
“Of course, you may refuse my request, Duke Mowbay. But you must consider this carefully. Matthew’s condition sounds quite serious, and it’s hard to say how long he can hold on.” Eliza’s lips curved into a slight smile..
Eliza’s lips curved into a slight smile.
At this moment, although she was dressed in a holy robe, her words were sharp and ruthless.
Her words were like a blood–dripping blade.
Looking at Eliza like this, Nolan felt a surge of emotions in his heart.
His heart pounded uncontrollably.
When she prayed for him before, she seemed so pure and innocent, like a goddess descending to earth.
But the Eliza now captivated him even more.
Nolan unconsciously touched his chest.
He thought, ‘Oh no, is this serious?‘
Eliza didn’t know what Nolan was thinking
She just looked at Gabriel, quietly waiting for the prey to take the bait.
Gabriel’s face was as cold as frost. “Good scheme. Since you insist on investigating, then investigate. But if you can’t find the
real murderer today, or if the real murderer is you, then I will not let it go.”
Eliza shook her head, a smile playing on her lips. “No”

Gabriel’s face instantly turned cold again. “What do you mean by no? Are you scared?”
Eliza said, “As I have said, you begged us to come. If you still have this attitude, I don’t have to help you?
Anyway, she didn’t care if she would offend Gabriel or something.
Therefore, she wanted to vent her anger.
Gabriel was the man who had decided her death with a single word in her past. So she wanted to let Gabriel have a taste of what it felt like to have his son’s life decided by someone else.
It was a pity that the person was not Sophie.
Otherwise, it would have made her feel even better.
But it didn’t matter, it would be Sophie’s turn soon.
Gabriel took a deep breath.
The anger in his eyes was almost uncontrollable.
He really didn’t expect that after Eliza was expelled from the family, she would become so bold.
She even dared to ask him to be nice.
Gabriel had never been treated like this in his life.
In this entire court, every officials respected and revered him.
Even His Majesty was respectful to him.
Nolan raised his eyebrows, a look in his eyes that suggested he was almost praising Eliza.
Gabriel was silent for a long time before he finally calmed down.
Eliza didn’t back down.
Gabriel sneered inwardly, ‘So be it. What happened today will not happen again!’
What happened today will not happen again.
No matter what happened today, he would never again allow Eliza to run amok again.
Thinking of this, Gabriel said coldly, “Fine. As long as you detoxify Matthew, I will give you the attitude you want.”
But if she could detoxify Matthew, he felt that she must be the one who poisoned him.
With this thought in mind, Gabriel gave the order, “Listen up, everyone in the residence shall cooperate with the search.”
