Unfortunately for Gabriel, no matter how bad his premonition was, it was toote for regrets.


    After Eliza boarded the Stonor family''s carriage, it was promptly taken over by Nn''s ck g troops.


    From the coachman to the guards, all were ck g soldiers.


    It was a clear stance that no people from the Stonor family would be allowed near her.


    Gabriel''s face darkened when he saw this.


    He said, "This is the Duke''s estate''s carriage!"


    Nn had a roguish expression on his face, "This is now the carriage of the Holy Lady. Of course, you can also choose to kick the Holy Lady out of the carriage, but whether she will agree to go to the Duke''s estate after that is another matter." Gabriel narrowed his eyes at him, a dangerous look in them.


    Nn smiled fearlessly, letting him look all he wanted.


    At this time, Eliza''s impatient voice came from the carriage. "How long do we have to wait? Don''t waste time."


    Nn smiled slightly, "Duke of Mowbay, are you going or not?"


    Gabriel snorted coldly, "Let''s go."


    *****


    Four hourster, Eliza, escorted by Nn''s ck g, returned to the Duke''s estate with Gabriel.


    After getting off the carriage, Eliza looked up at the ce that had once made her extremely happy and then desperately escaped from. There was a hint ofplexity in her eyes.


    "What happened to your hand?" A deep, concerned voice suddenly sounded from behind.


    Eliza looked down and realized that her hand had been trembling.


    She knew why.


    Even though so much time had passed, even though she knew she would not repeat the mistakes of her previous life, there was still a trace of fear in her bones and heart.


    Suddenly, arge hand covered hers.


    His burning palm seemed to melt her icy hand, holding it tightly.


    Eliza was startled and looked up in disbelief at the tall, handsome Nn beside her.


    Nn looked down at her, his expression serious and without a hint of amorousness, as if he was just concerned, and said, "Don''t be afraid."


    Eliza was stunned for a moment. "You..."


    She opened her mouth to say something, but before she could finish, she caught


    a glimpse of Gabriel turning around out of the corner of her eye.


    Eliza almost subconsciously shook off Nn''s hand.


    15:27 Tue, 15 Apr AA.


    Chapter III


    Then she quickly strode forward, as if afraid of being noticed, and quickly distanced herself from Nn,


    Nn, who was still standing where he was, withdrew his hand and looked at his palm.


    A lingering fragrance of Eliza remained in his palm.


    The first feeling that came to his mind when he caught her just now was how


    small she hand was.


    It was small and soft, as delicate as boneless.


    It made him want to hold it tighter.


    And that was exactly what Nn did.


    以念79%


    It wasn''t until Eliza was so frightened that she quickly shook his hand away that Nn realized how abrupt his actions had been.


    When he saw Eliza''s back as she ran away in a hurry, a sense of remorse welled up in his heart.


    Gabriel had just made some arrangements with his servant when he turned around and saw Nn standing at his door in a daze.


    He frowned and made a sarcastic remark at Nn. "There''s no shortage of guards at the Duke of Mowbay''s estate. If Your Highness has changed your mind, you can gi ub now."


    Nn nced at him, a smile spreading across his handsome face as if something had urred to him. He narrowed his long and narrow eyes and said, "The Duke is indeed fortunate. However, it is a pity that this fortune does not belong to you


    now."


    After saying that, he straightened his robe and strode into the Duke''s estate to catch up with Eliza.


    Gabriel, who didn''t understand Nn''s words, frowned.


    He was still wary as he thought, ''What is Nn''s true intention in following Eliza here?''


    Soon, Gabriel got his answer.


    After entering the Duke''s estate and settling down, Eliza asked, "Duke, now that


    we are here, is everyone from the Stonor family present?"


    Benedict frowned slightly at Eliza''s questioning tone, but because of Nn''s presence, he didn''t say anything.


    He said, "Except for Benedict and Dn, everyone else is here."


    Benedict and Dn had both taken leave.


    One was still on duty at the court, while the other was still studying diligently at the academy.


    After Matthew was suddenly poisoned and fell into aast night, as the eldest brothers, Benedict and Dn naturally needed to stay home to take care of them.


    So they both took leave early this morning.


    Eliza said, "To avoid any misunderstandings, I need Your Grace to send someone to find Benedict and Dn as soon as possible so that I can settle this matter in front of everyone."


    Upon hearing Eliza''s words, Gabriel knew that she wasn''t just here to detoxify. Gabriel said with a straight face, "For the sake of our past rtionship, I can promise you that as long as you detoxify


    Matthew and Anthony, I can write off whatever you''ve done."


    Eliza nced at him and chuckled. Her tone was ambiguous. "How can that be? Matthew and Anthony were poisoned one after another. If we don''t find the culprit, what face will the Duke''s estate have in the future?"


    Gabriel''s expression turned cold as he thought, ''Isn''t the murderer be you?''


    +45)


    He said, "I don''t care what you''re up to. Now, the opportunity is right in front of you. If you don''t take it, don''t me me for being ruthless."


    Eliza chuckled softly. "Ruthless? Then I hope you will remember what you just said. If the real murderer is foundter, you must not show any mercy."


    Gabriel''s face darkened instantly.


    Soon, Benedict and Dn were called back.


    Upon seeing Eliza, Benedict''s eyes lit up, and he couldn''t help but step forward.


    He said, "Eliza? You''re finally back!


    "That''s great! Have you thought it through? Are you willing toe home?" Benedict still didn''t know that Gabriel had brought Eliza back.


    Dn had seen his father storm out of the house in the morning, so he guessed what had happened. He rushed to Saint Grace Nunnery and, after informing Eliza, he saw Nn appear. Only then did he quietly take a detour back to the academy.


    He just didn''t expect Eliza to be still brought back by his fatherhe had already informed her in advance.


    Dn looked at Eliza with concern.


    Unfortunately, Eliza didn''t give him a single nce.


    Seeing that everyone had returned, Eliza began, "Next, if the Duke of Mowbay wants to unravel the poison in your sons'' bodies, you''ll have to cooperate well with me."
