    The moment Dn spoke, the atmosphere in the room immediately grew tense. Sophie''s expression froze for a moment.


    She clenched her hands tightly under the table, her impatience with Dn growing by the second.


    He really is an idiot. Last time, that bitch nearly got him killed, and now he''s starting to care about her again? Has Dn lost his mind? The more Eliza hates him, the more he rushes to please her? she thought to herself.


    Aside from Dn, Benedict was the first to react, pausing for a moment before he spoke. "Today is indeed Eliza''s birthday


    Benedict ПE showed a mix


    a mix of emotions, and a sudden pang of guilt arose within him.


    If Dnt brought it up, Benedict would have almost forgotten about it.


    Matthew frowned, clearly displeased. “Dn, why are you suddenly bringing her up? She''s not even a member of the Stonor family anymore. Why does her birthday concern us"


    Anthony picked up his water and took a slow sip, not speaking.


    Benedict remembered the indifference Eliza had shown before and turned to look at their father, who sat at the head of the table. "Father, even though Eliza is no longer a Stonor family member, she is still our sister. Perhaps we should visit her at Saint Grace Nunnery!


    Benedict thought back to the time when they had celebrated Sophie''sing-of- age ceremony. They shouldn''t neglect Eliza''s, especially since they had celebrated it for Sophie


    Gabriel, whose expression remained neutral,zily lifted an eyelid. He nced at Benedict and Dn, both of whom were Jooking at him expectantly.


    Although Gabriel didn''t want to agree, Benedict''s words caused him to hesitate for a moment. After all, these four sons and Eliza were siblings by blood. If he were too harsh, they might grow resentful of him in the future.


    Gabriel furrowed his brow, pondering for only a couple of seconds, then nodded indifferently. "Fine. I''ll go to the pce shortly to see if His Majesty will make an exception"


    After Dn''s previous incident, the people at the Duke''s estate, including Sophie, were all under orders not to enter Saint Grace Nunnery. If they were to visit Eliza, they would need the king''s permission first.


    Benedict and Dn''s faces lit up with joy


    With their father''s support, the king would surely grant their request.


    "That''s great! I can finally go visit Eliza at Saint Grace Nunnery!" Dn eximed, clearly excited.


    Meanwhile, Sophie, on the other hand, was seething with rage, nearly grinding her teeth in frustration. She had not expected Gabriel to actually agree.


    She thought, "They''ve already kicked Eliza out, made her a nun, and removed her from the family tree. Yet these people still can''t stop thinking about her? Is 1 not enough for them!


    Eliza should just die. As long as she''s alive, the Stonor family will always be thinking about her. Who knows, one day, these men might decide to bring her bark. What will I do then?"


    Sophie''s jealousy burned bot in her chest. If they''re going, then I''ll go too. I''ll deal with Eliza once and for all, she thought..


    There was another reason Sophie didn''t stop them

    Recently, there had been rumors that Nn had been seen near Mount Westin Some said Nn was going to the Holy Cross Monastery to listen to the scriptures, others imed he was at Saint Grace Nunnery to protect the Holy Lady. There were many different theories, but Sophie couldn''t shake the feeling that Nn had a close rtionship with Eliza.


    Sophie had to find out the truth.


    If Nn was really going there because of Eliza, Sophie would have to prepare for it.


    A man as distinguished and exceptional as him is only worthy of being my man, Sophie thought. ''Eliza is just delusional


    nedict and Dn quickly went to change and get ready to leave, eager to head out.


    "Matthew, aren''t you going to get ready?" Anthony asked, trailing behind Matthew slowly.


    "What''s there to prepare? Eliza is already an outsider. Celebrating her birthday now is just a waste of time," Matthew said, his face cold.


    Matthew couldn''t understand why Benedict and Dn were suddenly so fixated on Eliza. These two were bing more concerned about her by the day.
