Chapter 114
Sophie clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her flesh, causing her pain. Only then did she grit her teeth and suppress her anger.
Her stiff body bent down, and she knelt unwillingly, bowing her head. “Greetings, Your Highness…”
She paused deliberately before continuing, Holy Lady”
Eliza sneered at her action but did not take it to heart.
After all, this was just a small lesson. What came next was the big gift she would give back to Sophie.
Eliza spoke indifferently. “Since everyone is here, let’s begin.”
From the beginning, she did not even glance at Matthew and Anthony on the ground.
Such an attitude made Dylan’s heart ache.
Nolan turned his head and glanced at Gabriel. “To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, I would like to ask the Duke of Mowbay to accompany me in the search.”
Gabriel did not speak.
Sophie’s heart skipped a beat. Pretending to be clueless, she asked, “Father, what are so many people doing here?”
Gabriel then replied, “The Prince Regent and the Holy Lady suspect the poisoner is in the estate, so they’re here to investigate.”
Sophie could barely maintain her composure.
She thought, “The poisoner is in the estate?
‘Isn’t it already obvious that it’s Eliza?
‘How come a trip turned into a search of the estate?‘
A bad feeling crept into Sophie’s heart.
She quickly went over the events in her mind.
The traces in Matthew’s room yesterday had been erased. She had thrown the roast duck into a remote corner where no one would find it, and the remaining poison had also been disposed of. So, she thought that there shouldn’t be any problems.
After letting out a sigh of relief, Sophie’s expression returned to calmness.
But when she looked up again, she found Eliza staring straight at her.
Sophie immediately glared back.
She thought, ‘What are you looking at, you little bitch!
‘Don’t think you can find fault with me by doing this.’
But what Sophie didn’t know was that, compared to her, the person most familiar with the entire Duke’s estate was Eliza.
She had grown up here since she was a child, so she knew which places in this mansion were the least likely to be discovered and the most suitable for hiding thing.

Chapter 114
While Nolan took Benedict away to search together, Eliza sat leisurely in the main hall
She changed her sitting position, slowly rotating the beads Mary had stuffed into her hand when she went out,
Seemingly finding the atmosphere in the hall a bit too quiet, Benedict, who had been standing by for a long time, couldn’t help but speak. “Eliza, did you receive the birthday gift I sent you a few days ago?”
“Eliza, did you receive the birthday gift I sent you a few days ago?”
Plagued by guilt, Benedict ordered a new gown for Eliza.
Although the gown was not as exquisite as the one Nolan had prepared that day, it was still one of the best in Hasen City,
After all, in his heart, Eliza was a daughter of the Stonor family and his sister.
As her elder brother, he should be the one to prepare her gown.
Therefore, upon returning to the Duke’s estate that day, Benedict decided to order a new gown for Eliza to make amends.
But alas, what was lost was lost.
The original relationship was ruined, and no amount of compensation could bring it back.
Eliza nodded slightly and said, “Yes, I received it. Thank you, Mr. Stonor.”
The distant words made Benedict hesitate to speak.
Dylan had been holding back his emotions, eager to talk to Eliza, but couldn’t find the opportunity. Hearing this topic, he couldn’t help but interject. “Did you receive my gift? Do you like it?”
The gift he prepared had a special meaning, so after asking, he carefully looked at Eliza, expecting her answer.
But Eliza’s answer was bound to disappoint him.
Eliza glanced at him, her tone indifferent, “Mr. Stonor, you should understand that it’s difficult to repair a broken relationship.
