"Your Grace, whatever are you implying? How could I dare to put anything

improper in your coffee?" Sophie protested.

She couldn't help but feel suspicious, wondering, 'Did Eliza somehow notice the parasite eggs I slipped into her coffee?"

Eliza scoffed. "I never said it was something improper."

'Sophie confessed without being asked herself,' Eliza thought.

With Sophie's expression frozen stiff, Eliza remarked coolly, "Normally, when people make coffee, they'd put some milk or sugar in it, wouldn't they?"

Sophie let out a bitter laugh as she realized she'd been tricked.

Standing off to the side, Rafe also sighed in relief.

But the next moment, both Sophie and Rafe tensed up again because Eliza continued, “But then again, Sophie, you're hardly what I'd call 'ordinary.

Eliza picked up the coffee cup Rafe had left on the table after finishing his drink, twirled it between her fingers for a moment, then suddenly hurled it toward Sophie.

The cup shattered into pieces at Sophie's feet.

Eliza took the handkerchief Renee handed her to wipe her hands. In a cold, almost icy tone, Eliza said, "There's a blood feud between us. You wish you could tear me to pieces, and I wish I could crush you to ashes. With hatred like this, do you expect me to believe you wouldn't seize the chance to do something? Like slipping something lethal into my

coffee?"

A tense, eerie silence instantly filled the hall.

Adeline and Dale watched the heated exchange in stunned silence.

And so was the poor Rafe, the only one who took the hardest hit.

After hesitating twice, Rafe gave up caring, thinking, 'Whatever, whether it's poison or parasites, Eliza can handle it. So what if I already drank it? It might even earn me some brownie points with Eliza.'

Feeling he wasn't losing out, Rafe obediently settled in to enjoy the show.

Sophie suddenly lowered her head and chuckled, then burst into laughter. By the end of her laughter, it became shrill and piercing.

She said, "You're right. Every damn word of it!"

Sophie stared at Eliza, seated in the seat of honor, her expression finally twisting into pure hatred. "There's a blood feud between us," she spat. "If it weren't for you, I never would have fallen this low!

"Lord Celeb's secondary wife? I am the daughter of the Duke of Mowbay. I should have been Celeb's primary wife. But I lost everything because of you. You even cost me my life.

"Given all this, why shouldn't I make my move against you?"

Sophie pointed at Eliza, her voice thick with venom. "You deserve to die by my hand. I'll make you suffer until you think death is a mercy. And when you're finally gone, I won't tear you to pieces, for I will swallow you alive, bite by bite.

"You know what? Ever since I came back, I've had the same dream every night. In it, I sink my teeth into your flesh, drink your blood dry. skin, and rip out your tendons. While you scream in misery, I devour you completely, leaving nothing behind.
