446.Chapter 446


    Matthew was growing increasingly frustrated with Dn''s stubbornness "What do you mean byen, how wn topposed to bring Sophie back for you? I''ve already told you, she''s injured and needs to stay at the estate to recover the cante


    here.


    "If it''s money you want, I''ll give it to youter double it. Whatever it takes to make you happy ferit that encor


    I fan''t


    Dn''s re was sharp and unyielding "Get lost! I told you, I don''t want your money! I want my money, the copper cons eamed with my own hands! They''re mine, and no one has the right to touch them


    "Why are you so obsessed with those measly copper coins? lent silver or banknotes better?


    Dn stood firm, his fists clenched tightly Because learned them myself Those coins were for my sister Every single one of them is my hard earned money. No matter how little, they have nothing to do with you or the Duke''s estate


    Eliza despised everything tied to the Duke''s estate. That was why every gift Dn gave her had to be earned by him alone, untainted by the family''s wealth


    As long as it had no ties to the Duke''s estate, Dn fell that Eliza would surely ept it!


    Matthew let out a bitterugh, his anger barely contained. "So, Dn, in the end, this is all about Eliza, isn''t


    He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and closed his eyes for a moment.


    He thought. From Diana to Dn.


    From my fiancée to my own brother,


    Every single one of them is doing things for Elizal


    Matthew opened his eyes again, the frustration had been reced by a cold, detached look. Turning his head away, he said indifferently. "I won''t go back to find Sophie."


    He added, "Dn, I''ll pretend I didn''t hear your usations against Sophie just now. But if you bring it up again, don''t me me for cutting ties with you for good."


    "You''re not going to look for her?"


    "No, I''m not wasting my time chasing after Sophie because of your ridiculous lies." Matthew''s tone was icy cold.


    Matthew''s tone was icy cold.


    Dn stared at him for a long moment, his gaze sharp and unyielding. Finally, he nodded slowly. "Fine."


    He snatched the empty wooden box from Matthew''s hands and shoved him aside at the doorway "If you won''t go, then do it myself


    He was getting his money back tonight, no matter what.


    Without another word, Dn spun around, clutching the wooden box, and stormed out the door.


    Matthew said, "Dn, stop right there! Are you out of your mind? It''s pitch ck outside! Are you seriously doing all this for a few lousy coins?"


    No matter how loudly Matthew yelled after him, Dn didn''t look back. He didn''t even bother to secure headlong into the night.


    Matthew was so furious he could barely contain himself. "Fine! If you don''t care, then neither will !!" Leaving the hut''s door wide open, Matthew dashed into the night, chasing after him.


    e his hut, charging


    In just 3 hours, Dn had run all the way from the base of Mount Westin to the outskirts of Hasen City, leaving Matthew far behind


    Dn waited outside the city gates, pacing impatiently. The moment the gates creaked open at dawn, he bolted inside without hesitation.


    After a while, the once-quiet street outside the Duke''s estate was suddenly filled with the deafening sound of someone pounding on the gate.


    "Open the door! Get out here and open it now!" Dn''s furious voice echoed through the street.


    "Who''s making such a racket this early in the morning?" the gatekeeper, was awakened by themotion and grumbled. When the gatekeeper opened the door, he was met with Dn''s bloodshot eyes, his face twisted in a way that made the man instinctively recoil in fear


    "Where did this filthy beggare from? How dare you cause trouble at the Duke''s estate? Get out the gatekeeper backed. "Why don''t you get lost instead?" Dn snapped, grabbing the man by the cor. "Take a good look! Do you even know who


    446 Chapter 446


    Dragged closer, the gatekeeper''s eyes widened in shock. "Mr. Stonor? In it really you?"


    "Now that you recognize me, open the door! Dn demanded.


    The gatekeeper instinctively reached for the door but hesitated, his hand stopping mid air. "Mr. Stonor, it''s not that I don''t want to let you in The Duke ordered that you''re no longer part of the estate. You''re not allowed toe and go anymore" "Fine, Dn said with a cold smile, catching the gatekeeper off guard.


    Before the man could react, Dn mmed his foot against the gate, forcing it open with a loud crash. "If you won''t open it,


    Without another word, Dn stormed into the estate, making a beeline for Sophie''s courtyard.


    The gatekeeper, terrified by Dn''s aggressive stance, shouted, "Help! Someone,e quickly! Stop Mr. Stonor"


    Hearing themotion behind him, Dn only quickened his pace.


    In no time, he reached the entrance of Sophie''s courtyard. Without waiting for the two maids standing guard to react, he raised his foot and kicked the door open with a loud crash.


    One of them asked, "Mr. Stonor! What are you doing?"


    Another said, "Stop this at once! This is Lady Sophile''s courtyard! You can''t go in


    The courtyard was staffed with only a few maids and servants, none of whom were a match for Dn.


    Even when they tried to stop him together, they couldn''t hold him back.


    Dn stormed straight to Sophie''s door and pounded on it with his fist, the impact shaking the door and echoing through the courtyard


    Inside, Sophie, still unaware of what was happening, shouted angrily after being startled awake, "Who dares to wake me up like this?"


    Standing outside her door, Dn''s voice was cold and menacing, like a ghost in the night. "Sophie, get dressed ande out here right now! I''m waiting. If you don''te out, I''ll smash this ce to rubble!"


    The moment Sophie recognized Dn''s voice, she leapt out of bed in a panic. She thought, "Why is Dn here?


    Could he have already found out about the copper coins?


    "But how could he storm into the Duke''s estate like this?


    "And those useless fools outside, couldn''t even one of them stop him?"


    As Sophie racked her brain for a way to handle the situation, another loud bang echoed from the door.


    Dn was hitting the door again.


    His voice, sharp and relentless, pressed her like a de. "You better hurry up! My patience is running thin, and you know what happens when I lose it!"


    Sophie''s face turned pale.


    Gritting her teeth, she had no choice but to get dressed and walk toward the door with heavy steps.


    When she stepped outside and saw Dn''s stormy expression, she quickly forced a smile, pretending to be clueless. Dn, what brings you here so early? Did something happen?"
