The Lady Nun Vows Revenge - Chapter 381: Chapter 381

Adeline was so furious she felt like she might explode.
Under the scornful gazes of Ariana and the others, she panicked and even dragged out her familial connection with Eliza—something she usually avoided acknowledging.
She thought this would shut them up.
But Eliza wasn't about to let her off the hook.
With a faint smile, Eliza said, "Looks like Mrs. Nevill is getting old. Her memory's not what it used to be. I cut ties with the Stonor family ages ago. We're not family anymore, and I certainly didn't invite you into my residence."
"Did you hear that? She has nothing to do with you anymore!" Cora let out a mocking laugh, her face full of ridicule. "So, Mrs. Nevill, do you even realize what you're doing right now?
"Sneaking into the Holy Lady's residence and stealing her things. To put it bluntly, you're nothing but a sneaky thief!"
"Shut up! Shut up! You shut your mouth!" Adeline was on the verge of losing her mind. She slammed the bowl down at Cora's feet, the sound echoing sharply, and roared, "Who are you calling a sneaky thief? Say it again! Who are you accusing? I was just thirsty and drank a few bowls of soup. How is that trespassing? How is that stealing?"
"How is it not? You snuck into her residence without permission. That's trespassing! Instead of waiting outside and queuing like everyone else, you barged in to steal a drink. That's stealing!
"And do you even realize that the soup Her Grace prepared contains Snow Lotus gifted by the king? You dared to steal that? You've committed the grave offense of disrespecting the king!"
Cora didn't hold back, leaving Ariana and even Eliza no chance to interrupt. They could only watch as her sharp words drove Adeline to the brink—her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot!
"She's got the audacity to pull off something so shameless, but she can't even handle a few words? She even fainted." Cora looked down at Adeline sprawled on the ground, her face full of disdain.
Behind her, three young ladies stood silently, not daring to speak, but judging by the gleam in their eyes, they were already planning to share this juicy drama with their friends the moment they stepped outside.
Ariana shook her head with a wry smile. "Alright, Mrs. Wright, you even brought up 'disrespecting the king.' No wonder Adeline couldn't handle it and passed out."
Cora snorted. "I'm just telling the truth. Isn't that right, Your Grace?"
Eliza responded with a gentle smile. "Mrs. Wright, you are indeed speaking the truth. I'm lucky you were all here today. I wouldn't have known how to deal with this mess otherwise."
Hearing this, Cora gave Eliza a look of pity. "Your Grace, you really drew the short straw with relatives like this. Not just one, but a whole set! Anyone else would've lost their mind by now."
Though her words were harsh, Cora had actually softened her tone.
She had even swapped "terrible fate" for "drew the short straw."
But everyone present understood the underlying meaning.
Eliza, however, was both grateful and tolerant of Cora, who had helped her vent her frustrations today. She didn't mind the bluntness at all.
After all, it was the truth.
Ariana glanced at the unconscious Adeline and sighed. "Leaving her lying here isn't a solution. Someone needs to call for help to carry her out."
The young ladies, who had been enjoying the spectacle, immediately volunteered. "We'll go! We'll go!"
Ariana turned to Eliza, careful not to overstep her bounds.
Eliza nodded slightly. "Then I'll trouble you to inform someone from the Nevill family or the Stonor family to come and take her away."
