Gabriel asked, “The owner of Phoenix Restaurant?”

“Yes, for the convenience of inquiry, the Holy Lady and I have sent someone to invite the shopkeeper of Phoenix Restaurant over.” Nolan stood beside Eliza, his tall figure slightly bent over her, smiling at everyone in the Stonor family just like her.
“How do you know that this roast duck must be from Phoenix Restaurant?” Gabriel still couldn’t bear to see how embarrassed Sophie would be when the final truth was revealed.
Therefore, even at this point, Gabriel was still trying his best to cover up for Sophie.
However, what he was facing today was not those opponents who were being played by him, but two extraordinary characters.
If Gabriel was a cunning old fox, then Nolan was a ferocious and vicious wolf.
He was able to make the all–powerful Duke of Mowbay bow his head and feel aggrieved in front of him, relying not only on the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, but also on his ruthless methods.
Gabriel dared to challenge him, but he definitely didn’t dare to turn the tables on him.
In addition to him, of course, there was Eliza, who was originally supposed to be the easiest to handle in Gabriel’s heart, but now she was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.
After all, he had no idea that while he was pitying Sophie, Eliza had already returned from hell.
Having gone through death once, Eliza could not possibly be as foolish as she was in her past.
In this life, she had only one goal, revenge.
Therefore, she
would never let Sophie go.
“Duke of Mowbay, that is a ridiculous question.”
Eliza gave a faint sneer. “Duke of Mowbay, that is a ridiculous question.”
Nolan, who was standing at the side, could not help but chuckle. “Indeed. Even the Holy Lady has thought of it. Surely the Duke can figure it out too?”
Since it was a search, it was natural to investigate. After all, Gabriel had already said that Matthew, had been poisoned.
To confirm the source of the poison, they needed to investigate.
Upon investigation, it was found that yesterday evening, someone from the Duke’s estate not only went to the Phoenix Restaurant but also ordered a takeaway of roast duck.
Most importantly, Matthew’s favorite roast duck was from the Phoenix Restaurant.
With all these clues lining up, Gabriel was speechless.
His face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly, “So you already know who poisoned him.”
Eliza smiled slightly, “If we don’t make it clear, I’m afraid your accusations will be misplaced.”
Gabriel’s icy gaze immediately fell on her face.
Eliza met his gaze fearlessly, not backing down at all.

Benedict, who still didn’t understand, frowned. “Father, Eliza, what do you mean? Do you already know who poisoned her?”
Dylan was also puzzled. “If you know, then why not just arrest the murderer?”
Eliza said indifferently, “Did you hear that, Duke of Mowbay? Will you do it yourself, or do you need the Prince Regent to help you?”
“I wouldn’t mind lending a hand.”
Even Nolan felt like he had changed. “I wouldn’t mind lending a hand.”
As the dignified Prince Regent, who was always the one giving orders, he somehow enjoyed the feeling of being ordered around by Eliza.
So as soon as Eliza spoke, he readily looked up.
He looked as if he would really help if Gabriel didn’t do it himself.
Gabriel would never possibly let him help.
His face darkened.
After a moment of hesitation, he looked at the person hiding behind Benedict and addressed her, much to the disbelief of his sons. “Sophie, come out.”
Those short words made Sophie curse Eliza countless times in her heart.
She thought, ‘Bitch, bitch, bitch!
‘Damn it, why didn’t I just poison that little bitch Eliza?’
Sophie now almost wished she could go back two months and poison Eliza to death before she left the Stonor family.
Even if her father and brothers found out that she had poisoned her, they would definitely not have done anything to her at that time.
But now it was too late. Relying on a title given by the Emperor and the Prince Regent backing her up, Eliza was blatantly stepping on her head.
She even wanted to hurt her.
Sophie couldn’t help but tremble in her heart.
She didn’t want to go out, but at this moment, everyone’s eyes were on her.
Gabriel’s expression was terrifying.
Sophie wondered what she should do.
Sophie’s mind raced, trying to come up with a solution. Before that, she had to buy some time.
She said, “No, Father, I didn’t do it. I really don’t know anything. Father, please believe me!”
Sophie fell in front of Gabriel, tears streaming down her face. She looked up at Gabriel pitifully and pleaded.
When Benedict, who was standing aside, saw his beloved Sophie being wronged like this, he couldn’t stand it any longer.

He said, “Father, how could Sophie have poisoned Matthew? There must be some misunderstanding!”
Dylan subconsciously opened his mouth, wanting to speak up for Sophie.

But just as he was about to speak, he caught sight of Eliza not far away. Seeing the look on her face, Dylan swallowed his
words.
He carefully recalled everything that had happened the day before.
A detail they had overlooked suddenly came to mind.
As Sophie cried out about her grievances, Dylan slowly began, “Sophie, after the party yesterday, when you were riding home with Father and me, you got out of the carriage for a while. You said you wanted to buy some pastries. Did you really just buy pastries?”
At these words, Sophie’s cries abruptly ceased.
A flicker of guilt flashed across her eyes. “Dylan… are you suspecting me? You saw it yourself yesterday, I only had pastries in my hand.”
Dylan exposed her lie with a single question. “Where was your maid? Father and I were in the carriage and didn’t pay much attention, but now that I think about it, after you came back from buying the pastries, where did your personal maid, Unity. go? Why didn’t she come back with you?”
