"Who stole your money?" Benedict frowned slightly at the question.

Dylan raised his hand and pointed toward Sophie. "Her! She's the one who took the box of money I had hidden under my bed!"

Sophie, her face streaked with blood, looked both hurt and indignant. "Father, Benedict, don't listen to Dylan's nonsense!! didn't steal his money! If you don't believe me, ask Matthew. He can vouch for me!"

"Where's Matthew?" Gabriel asked, his tone calm but firm.

"Here! I'm right here!" Matthew's voice rang out as he stepped into the courtyard. Matthew arrived just in time. As soon as Gabriel called for him, he came rushing back from outside.

He stood there catching his breath for a moment before saying, "I... I can vouch for Sophie. She didn't steal it."

"If Sophie didn't take it, then Dylan is lying?" Gabriel's cold gaze shifted to Dylan. Matthew quickly added, "No, Dylan's money was definitely stolen."

Otherwise, Dylan wouldn't be this upset.

Besides, Dylan had already planned to let them stay and was even preparing to build two rooms for him and Sophie. They didn't expect that something like this happened the very next day.

Matthew didn't believe Sophie would steal the money, but he also couldn't imagine Dylan making up such an accusation without reason.

So, Dylan's money must have been stolen.

But as for who the thief was, that was still a mystery.

Matthew turned to Dylan. "Dylan, take a deep breath and think about it. Could someone else have taken your money?" Dylan let out a cold laugh. "I'm perfectly calm. And as for your theory about someone else stealing it? That's not even remotely possible.
