Sophie just wanted to casually hand over some money to get rid of Eliza.

However, Eliza merely looked at her with a smirk, her eyes filled with mockery. "What you think is insignificant might be incredibly important to others. If it weren't for you stealing-"

"Fine, I'll give it back," Sophie interrupted, her voice rising in agitation, drawing puzzled glances from the people around her. Her cheeks were flushed, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

Sophie glared at Eliza before reluctantly speaking. "Those coins aren't with me. They're just some dirty things. I wouldn't even touch them. I threw them into the filthy ditch behind his house long ago. If you really want them, go dig through that stinking ditch yourself."

"Sophie's just asking for a beating," Diana thought, her fist clenching.

'Open it myself? Something's off, Sophie thought, narrowing her eyes as she warily watched Eliza.

"Scared to open it?" Eliza asked with a faint smile, her tone lightly taunting.

Sophie snorted coldly. "Why would I be scared? Your Grace, this is a gift from you. You wouldn't dare poison it in front of all these people, would you?"

'Yeah, Eliza wouldn't have the guts to do something like that with everyone watching, Sophie thought to herself.
