The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

385.Chapter 385

“Renee, let me see your face. After driving Gabriel and Matthew out, Eliza quickly pulled Renee over

“It’s fine, really. He didn’t hit my face. I managed to dodge a little, so it only landed on my head.”

Even so, Matthew’s slap had been heavy. Renee’s head was buzzing, and it took her a moment to gather herself.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make him regret it.” Eliza’s expression was cold, her tone sharp and unyielding.

Renee immediately said, “No, no, Your Grace, it’s fine! You already stood up for me. There’s no need to take it further.”

Renee didn’t know many people in Hasen City, but her time by Eliza’s side had taught her a lot.

From the heated exchange earlier, it wasn’t hard for her to piece together who those two men were.

One was Eliza’s former father, and the other, her former brother.

Their relationship had already been temible to begin with. What if Eliza made things even worse with Matthew because of this incident?

Renee didn’t fully understand the rift between Eliza and her family. Perhaps because she had once had a loving family, she didn’t realize that Eliza and her former father and brother had long since reached a point of no forgiveness.

Eliza gently placed her hand on the side of Renee’s head where she had been struck. A soft smile appeared on her face as she reassured Renee, “Don’t worry. This isn’t just about you. You’re mine, and anyone who hurts you is picking a fight with me. I won’t let this slide.”

Renee, still a little unsure, nodded seriously when she heard Eliza say that. “Alright, but be careful, Your Grace.”

“What happened? Did Matthew hit Renee?” Diana asked.

Diana, who had been staying in the back hills under Eliza’s arrangement, was brought back by Tina. As soon as she returned, she overheard the conversation between Eliza and Renee.

Her brows furrowed. “He hit Renee? Why?”

Eliza recounted the earlier incident to Diana. By the time she finished, Diana’s expression had turned even darker.
