Chapter 58

Chapter 58

Adeline was Eliza's aunt, but she had never liked her. Eliza ignored Adeline.

Eliza had once thought that Adeline treated everyone this way, but when Sophie arrived at the Stonor family, Adeline lavished her with affection. The difference in attitude made Eliza realize that Adeline simply didn't like her.

Even when Adeline called her, Eliza stayed seated, acting as though she hadn't heard.

Seeing that Eliza remained unmoving. Adeline became visibly annoyed and walked into the room

"What are you doing? Can't you see met Don't even bother to greet me? You clearly don't know any manners." Adeline reached out and tried to grab Eliza's clothes. "Get up. Don't you know to offer me your seat? What is this nonsense?" Mary quickly intervened, blocking Adeline's hand with hers, and spoke coldly. "Madam, please don't lay your hands on Serenity and speak disrespectfully."

Adeline then noticed that Mary was a nun. "Eliza, so you finally found yourself some support after joining the nunnery! Did you bring a nun here to the Marquis's estate to throw your weight around

"Do you think we will be afraid of you after you become a Holy Lady now? Listen to me. Caleb will never marry you. No matter whether you become a nun or Holy Lady, you'd better stay away from our home from now on and stop bothering Caleb,"

"Mrs. Nevill, enough, Mary said, anger rising on her face as she stepped in front of Eliza, coldly staring down Adeline. "Please understand that Madam Nevill invited me here to treat her. Be careful with your words and don't make baseless assumptions.

Adeline neered, unimpressed. "Treat her? Do you two think you have the ability to do that"

"Adeline, enough"" Before Adeline could say anything else, Evelyn, who had been half lying in bed, finally spoke up.

Evelyn gave Adeline a stern look. "Reverend Mary Mendoza and Serenity are my guests. If you dare disrespect them again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Madam Nevill, they-Adeline began.
