Matthew’s face tumed grim in an instant.

I’ve already told you, Sophie is genuinely a kind and pure–hearted girl. If you ever met her, you’d definitely want to be friends with her…

“Ugh, stop with the nauseating talk” Diana cut him off, her face full of disdain. “I would never be friends with some illegitimate brat, especially one as scheming as her!

Her words made Matthew’s expression darken even further, and Gabriel’s face also grew cold.

But Diana couldn’t care less about their reactions.

You call her pure? Then why was Liza forced to become a nun? You call her kind? Then why did I hear she even poisoned you? What is it. Matthew? Do you have some twisted fetish for being poisoned?”

Over the past couple of days spent with Eliza, Diana had heard plenty of juicy stories

One of them was about Sophie poisoning Matthew,

Matthew held back his anger and said, “Eliza’s becoming a nun was her own decision. She’s petty and malicious. What does that have to do with Sophie?

“And as for the poisoning, it was all a misunderstanding! Eliza used poison to control me and humiliate Sophie in front of everyone at the banquet. Sophie acted out of anger in the heat of the moment, that’s all. She even apologized to me afterward and explained everything. So none of this is Sophie’s fault! If you want to blame someone, blame Eliza for her scheming!”

“You really are a fool.” Diana couldn’t resist the jab, even with Gabriel watching. “She poisoned you because she was angry? Did it never occur to you that if she’d used a lethal poison, you’d be dead by now?”

“No way! Matthew retorted without hesitation, “Sophie would never have any reason to harm me.”

Diana threw up her hands in exasperation. “Then why on earth do you trust her so much?”

Matthew hesitated for a moment, his gaze flickering, before finally speaking, his voice steady but soft. “Because she saved
