Chapter 80

Sophie spoke on and on, but Eliza ignored her.

Seeing her disregard for everyone, Matthew, who was already in a bad mood, immediately darkened his face. "What's wrong? Now that you've left home, have you learned to play mute?"

"Matthew Benedict scolded Matthew. He asked him to restrain his temper.

Dylan looked at Eliza in the middle of the medicinal garden. He was no longer as impulsive as before. On the contrary, it was Matthew who was becoming more and more like he used to be.

After a i

silence, Dylan stepped forward and lifted a bucket of water in the yard. "Ill help you."

"No need." Eliza finally spoke, but the first words she uttered were a refusal.

She straightened up and stared coldly at Dylan and the others. "My humble courtyard is dirty and small, and cannot accommodate distinguished guests like yourselves. If there is nothing else, please do not linger

But Dylan seemed deaf to her refusal, stubbornly holding the water and watering the remaining herbs just as Eliza had

done.

Eliza's expression turned even colder. Just as she was about to tell Dylan to stop, Benedict suddenly spoke. "Eliza, don't be like that. We came here to celebrate with you. Have you already forgotten? Today is your birthday"

Benedict said with a smile, thinking that Eliza had forgotten her own birthday.

"Your family?" Eliza let out a cold snort of disdain.

Benedict sensed something was amiss and quickly tried to explain on Sophie's behalf, “No, Eliza, Sophie didn't mean it like that...

Matthew once again lost his temper. "Eliza, don't push your luck....

Eliza retorted just as sharply, "I don't need your charity! Do us all a favor and lose the condescending attitude of yours. No one here wants it."
