The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

291.Chapter 291

"Isn't it all thanks to you, Gabriel?" Dylan suddenly spoke up, a mocking tone in his voice. "When I left the Duke's estate, I truly had nothing on me. I thought, with how petty you are, there's no way you'd ever actually agree to Eliza's terms."

His words immediately provoked Gabriel's anger.

"Enough!" Gabriel slammed his fist on the table, glaring at Dylan. "Is this how you speak to me?"

Dylan gave a cold smile. "What else would you prefer, Gabriel? What kind of attitude do you expect from me?"

"You-" Gabriel was momentarily stunned by Dylan's words, his anger clouding his judgment. For a moment, he didn't continue pressing the matter.

But the result was still the same-his anger boiled over.

"Fine, you dare to speak like that? If that's the case, you've wronged me, so you'll face punishment." Gabriel had had enough of wasting words on his rebellious son. He turned sharply and ordered, "Bring me the family punishment immediately!"

But just as he spoke, Dylan, undeterred, snapped back again. "What family punishment? Has the Duke of Mowbay forgotten that I, Dylan, am no longer part of the Duke's estate? How can you apply your family punishment to me?"
