The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

The Silent 260

Chapter 260

The words came quietly this time, but not from Nolan-from Eliza.

She stopped Lucian and Hudson just as they were about to leave and asked, "And what about Isabelle and your son...?"

Lucian, already sweating through his collar, bowed quickly. "As soon as I return,

I'll have Isabelle's contract delivered. I'll also make Hudson write a dismissal letter

to formally release her from his household.

Traditionally, only wives received formal release letters, not concubines. But today? Today, convention could go to hell.

Lucian was terrified-terrified that if he made even one more misstep, it wouldn't just be Hudson who was ruined, but the entire Bradford family.

Eliza arched a brow. Seeing how cooperative he was, she didn't push it further. "Good. Just make sure it arrives promptly. I won't wait forever."

Lucian let out a breath of relief, grabbed his son, and fled the scene as fast as dignity would allow.

Once Nolan had dealt with the rest of the corrupt officials involved in Isabelle's case, Eliza turned to him with a playful smile and said, "Thank you for standing up for me. I've got nothing to repay you with... except maybe praying for your good fortune every single day."

"I wouldn't mind daily prayers from the Holy Lady," Nolan teased, smiling faintly.

Then, remembering something, he glanced at her and asked, "What about Isabelle? What are you planning to do with her?"

Eliza leaned her chin on her hand and shrugged. "I haven't decided."

She sighed. "Once her contract arrives, let her go. We're not the same anymore, and we never will be."

But the moment the words left her mouth, a tear-choked voice called out behind her.

"Liza..."

Eliza turned.

There, at the door, stood Isabelle-pale, teary-eyed, barely held back by two Black Flag guards.

She didn't try to come closer. She just stood there, looking utterly heartbroken. "You... You're leaving me again?"
