Convinced that the thief who stole the snow cream was Eliza, Adeline flew into a rage. "And to think His Majesty even granted her the title of Holy Lady of Walden!

"She ran off to that nunnery, claimi, she wanted to practice devotion and prayer, yet all she learned was how to sneak around and steal like a common thiet. She's absolutely disgraceful!"

She added, "Gabriel was right all along. A disgrace like her should have her family name stripped away. She should no longer be allowed to aci ur e name of the Stonor family. Otherwise, she will only continue to bring shame upon Duke's

So, he decided to put the blame on Eliza.

After all, his mother had never liked Eliza in the first place. One more complaint against her would not make any difference.

It is not a big deal. I will find a way to make it up to Eliza later. With that thought, Caleb suddenly felt at ease.

"Caleb, stop speaking up for that bitch," Adeline snapped. "I may have indulged you in the past, but this concerns your future. A woman like her, who brings disgrace to the family, must never set foot in Marquis's Estate"
