Chapter 689

Rafe stood off to the side with a smug expression that could light up the room. Anyone who didn't know better would've thought Eliza had just praed him.

Sophie shot Rafe a murderous glare, deaf to Eliza's words.

Before long, Adeline and Dale finally arrived.

Adeline still looked nervous, but when she saw Eliza seated at the head of the table, her eyes instantly lit up with joy.

"Dale..." Adeline clung to Dale, barely containing her excitement as she tightly gripped his sleeve.

'It's Eliza. She's come to save us,' Adeline thought excitedly.

Dale gave her hand a reassuring pat and whispered, "Steady now."

'Since Sophie is still here, the danger to the Marquis's estate is far from over. I wonder what the Holy Lady will do next,' Dale thought.
