The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

301.Chapter 301 Relief washed over Anthony, even as a cold sweat broke out on his skin. Thank goodness Sophie was unharmed, he thought.

Turning back to Gabriel, Anthony forced a smile, his face tight with tension. "Father, I apologize. The scent of blood startled me, and I fear I spoke out of line." Gabriel sneered, his voice icy. "It wasn't wrong-it was the truth, wasn't it?" Of his four sons, Gabriel knew Anthony was the most distant. He showed little affection for his siblings or even for Gabriel. Only Sophie, whom Gabriel had brought home, received Anthony's unusual attention.

Anthony's frailty made him insignificant to Gabriel, who had already chosen his heir and only required obedience from his remaining sons.

Gabriel bypassed Anthony, entering the room and taking a seat. He dispatched a shadow guard to attend to Roger's remains. The room, however, still bore the gruesstains of the deed, carrying an eerie atmosphere. Sophie's skin crawled as she stood in her room, the gruessight making her feel sick. "Father," she whispered, trembling. "Could I please move to a different room later?" The thought of sleeping there in that room filled her with dread. Gabriel glared coldly at her and scoffed, "No. You don't get to choose." He would have indulged her whims without a second thought if she had been her usual obedient self, but his anger was palpable now.

He believed that if he didn't discipline her now, she would only create more problems for him later. "Leave the bloodstains," he said. "You can clean them when you've learned your lesson." Sophie shivered, instinctively wanting to protest, but Gabriel's chilling gaze silenced her. Fear kept her mouth shut. Anthony said, "Father, Sophie is still young. Seeing all this blood might give her nightmares. Perhaps we could..." Gabriel's voice was icy. "Since when do you have the right to question my decisions?" Anthony and Sophie went silent, their faces stiff. Gabriel shot Anthony a look before turning to Sophie. "Still want to switch rooms?" Sophie shook her head quickly, afraid to speak. When they were both quiet, Gabriel spoke again, his voice full of contempt. "One of your plots is foolish, and the other is incompetent. Neither of you can avoid trouble. You constantly use that idiot Matthew for your schemes and fail miserably every time. How utterly disgraceful." Anthony and Sophie hung their heads, humiliated, their faces pale with shame.

Gabriel scoffed. "You refuse to lear lesson and continue to cause trouble, so I'll give you one last chance. Failagain, and you'll be married off. Stir up even an ounce of trouble after that, and you'll be thrown out of the Duke's estate, just like Dylan." Gabriel tapped the table twice, and a shado guard immediately brought him a stack of papers. "These are the projects Eliza has managed since returning to Hasen City from Noganlul," Gabriel said. "Please review them." Anthony and Sophie eagerly grabbed the papers and delved into the detailed records of medicinal herb seeds, seedlings, and newly acquired farmland.

Anthony looked up from his reading, confused. "Father, why is Eliza buying so many herb seeds and seedlings? Solacecrest Manor is already overflowing with herbs. What's the point of planting more?" Gabriel laughed mockingly. "Still haven't figured it out? No wonder Eliza keeps outsmarting you." He continued in a calm tone, "Eliza's rise to becthe Holy Lady may have been lucky at first, but luck doesn't last. She has no real power, so she'll need a good plan to hold onto her position..

"Eliza's past actions show she's dedicated to medicine, aiming to heal as the Holy Lady. However, mastering the healing arts takes tand dedication, especially for someone starting their journey. That's why she's currently focused on medicinal herbs." Taking a sip of his drink slowly, Gabriel continued, "Go to the last page. It explains how Eliza donated medicinal herbs to Plutonville and Noganlul. Those donations are why she's so widely admired." He scoffed at Eliza, who had divine powers, dismissing claims that she could summon rain or cure plagues.

Gabriel suspected that she had enhanced her reputation through more than mere coincidence, perhaps by capitalizing on the demand for medicinal herbs during the Pluto Successfully unlocked! lul plague.

Eliza's generosity in providing what was needed eit Gaver convinced that the people of Plutonville and Noganlul would undoubtedly praise her.

Anthony and Sophie finally understood. "So, she intends to study medicine and cultivate kerbs m simultaneously. Once the herbs are fully grown, she'll distribute them as donations or through sales under the brand n'Holy Lady's Hand- Planted 1/2 301 Chapter 301 Herbs. That will undoubtedly boost her reputation." These herbs could solidify her fame, potentially for years. Even if her medical skills remain unremarkable, her reputation for generosity and healing would be enough to secure her lifelong position as the Holy Lady

"So, Eliza had these thoughts. I was thinking about why she wanted to cultivate many herbs. "Sophie felt a e surge of bitterness upon realizing Eliza's plan. 'She won't get to steal the show. Perhaps ruining her herb fields again is in order, she thought.

Gabriel read her expression easily. "You both know about medicinal herbs, he scolded. If she can grow them, why can't you? You're only focused on causing trouble! You E think destroying the herb fields will matter when she can replant them?" "That's impossible, Anthony frowned.

"The drug I gave Matthew was scarce. I don't even know the antidote. How could Eliza possibly know how to reverse its effects?" Gabriel sneered mockingly. "You think the drug is so potent?
