593.Chapter 593

Sariyah explained calmly, "Your Grace, you misunderstood! I assure you, there was no sarcasm in my words. Your Highness, please help clarify. Your Grace, I beg you to reconsider!"

Sariyah's composure faltered, her act shattered by Eliza's sharp retort.

Who could've guessed that this young girl from the Stonor family had such a razor-sharp tongue? With just one careless remark, she nearly peeled back the facade of the Malone family.

It was clear they could never bring this girl to their use.

A cold glint flickered in Sariyah's eyes.

If she couldn't be recruited, she'd have to be turned into a puppet of the Malone family.

Yes, she would turn Eliza into a puppet.

From the very beginning, Sariyah's plan had been to drag Eliza into their schemes.

After all, everyone would want to capitalize on the prestige of the Holy Lady of Walden.

If they could bring Eliza over to the Malone family, they could not only act under the banner of the Holy Lady but also use her influence to counter the Prince Regent.

But who would've thought that this young woman, barely a year past her coming- of-age, would be so difficult to handle?

And judging by how fiercely she defended Nolan, it was even more impossible to sway her.

Sariyah's heart sank.

While some were disheartened, others were overjoyed.

No matter what the Malone family thought, Nolan was absolutely elated.

He couldn't help but think, 'She stood up for me! Serenity actually defended me!

'All it took was one little jab from Sariyah, and Serenity got so angry on my behalf!

'She does care about me!'

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Nolan's eyes sparkled aFrom the lower end of the hall, Vance's face darkened, his displeasure barely concealed. "Your Grace, what exactly do you mean by that? I fail to see how my grandmother's arrangements have offended either of you in any way."

"Vance!" Sariyah's heart sank. She knew trouble was brewing the moment those words left his mouth.

Sure enough, Nolan sneered mockingly after Vance finished speaking. "Lady Sariyah, didn't you say your family has been worshipping the Holy Lady's portrait for years? Yet not one of you knows her other entity? Fine, the meal mistake can be excused. You're old, and it's natural to be forgetful. But your grandson, the proud heir of the Malone family, is there something wrong with him, too?"

Sariyah sighed and gave a helpless smile, her tone carrying a hint of deflection. "This is entirely my fault. I told Vance and the others about Your Grace's status as the Holy Lady, but I didn't mention that Your Grace had taken religious vows. As a result, this child spoke out of turn and offended Your Grace.
