The Lady Nun Vows Revenge - Chapter 63: Chapter 63

Sophie's expression stiffened as she forced a smile. "Caleb, what are you talking about?"
'This idiot. He really has made up his mind to marry Eliza. Is he insane? Wasn't the last lesson enough for him? He used to say that he only liked me and would only marry me. Now he really wants to marry Eliza?' Sophie thought.
"Yeah, Caleb, you can't say things like that. If you want to marry Sophie, then you can't marry Eliza. Even if I agree, Gabriel won't." Adeline stepped forward to persuade Caleb. As soon as her hand touched him, she heard him hiss.
"Wait, Caleb? What happened to your leg? Who did this to you?" Adeline asked.
Only then did Adeline finally realize something was wrong. Caleb had been clutching his leg, and his face was flushed. She immediately became anxious and started pacing around him.
Caleb impatiently pushed her away. "Mother, stop it. Move aside, let me finish talking to Eliza."
Eliza took a deep breath. 'I really have nothing more to say to this crazy man,' she thought.
"Mary, let's go," Eliza said.
This place was too chaotic. Not only did she not want to go out, she just wanted to get back to Saint Grace Nunnery. Dylan and Caleb were both madmen, constantly pestering her.
As she was about to leave, Dylan and Caleb both stepped in front of her.
"Eliza, don't leave," they both said at the same time.
Eliza was so angry she almost called Tina out to drag them both away and give them a good beating.
But before Eliza could speak, Dylan turned and glared at Caleb. "Caleb, stop pestering Eliza. She has already broken off the engagement with you. What are you still bothering her for?"
"What happens between me and her is none of your business." Caleb completely ignored him.
Sophie was so furious she wanted to slap Caleb and knock some sense into him.
But Caleb only had eyes for Eliza, and he spoke, pressuring her. "If you leave the nunnery now, everything will be fine. I can have my mother talk to Uncle Gabriel and get you back into the Stonor family, and I won't hold it against you for having someone beat me earlier."
Adeline's expression immediately shifted. She nearly shouted at Caleb, "Wake up! Do you think Gabriel is so easy to persuade? And why would I help Eliza?"
"No!" Adeline suddenly exploded in anger. "What do you mean? Who hit you? Eliza, who did you have beat my son?"
"How could that be?" Eliza remained calm, not in the slightest bit flustered. "This is the Marquis's estate. How could I possibly have someone beat Lord Caleb?"
Mary silently glanced at her. Eliza looked completely innocent.
On the side, Dylan immediately spoke up. "Exactly, Eliza may be clueless, but she wouldn't be that foolish. How could she beat you in your own house?"
Caleb chuckled in frustration. "Dylan, mind your own business."
He shot Dylan a glare before turning back to Eliza. "Don't think I'm an idiot. Tina? Get her here right now. She beat me here at the Marquis's estate and thinks she can just leave without consequences? Either you bring her out for me to deal with, or leave the nunnery quietly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
"Tina? Who's Tina?" Eliza pretended to be clueless. "Lord Caleb, I really don't understand what you're saying. If you insist on me finding Tina, I'll try, I suppose."
"Tina? Who are you? Where are you? Lord Caleb is looking for you. Come out now," Eliza called out in a mockingly dramatic voice, looking around the area.
Of course, Tina, hiding in the shadows, was not about to show herself.
It was clear that the situation couldn't be allowed to ruin Eliza's plan.
Eliza shouted into the air, but no one appeared. "Lord Caleb, now you see, I really don't know Tina."
Eliza shook her head, looking quite serious.
Mary, standing aside, couldn't help but turn her head, trying not to laugh out loud.
Caleb's eyes widened in anger. "Don't try to fool me. I was beaten by Tina all over. My body's covered in wounds, my leg's almost destroyed, and now you're telling me you don't know her? Are you trying to pull my leg?"
"You're covered in wounds? Where?" Eliza raised an eyebrow. "Lord Caleb, do you have injuries?"
Caleb immediately responded. "Look at my face. Look at the wounds on my body, my arm. Huh? Where are my injuries?"
Caleb pointed to his face and rolled up his sleeve to show the wounds, but before he could finish, he realized something was wrong.
He clearly remembered being beaten all over by the masked person called Tina. He could still feel the pain all over his body, front and back, including his limbs. His legs hurt so much that he could barely walk, limping along.
But as Caleb rolled up his sleeve, there wasn't a mark on his arm, and his body showed no bruises or scars at all. It was as if everything had been a figment of his imagination.
"This is impossible," Caleb said. "Mother, can you help me check? Are there any injuries on me?"
"Caleb, let me see, where does it hurt? Where did you get hit?" Adeline hurriedly stepped forward to check him.
But when she lifted his shirt, there were no injuries at all—not even a red mark.
Adeline even walked around him, inspecting every angle.
Finally, she hesitated before speaking. "Caleb, where exactly did Tina hit you? It seems like there's no injury on you."
In front of everyone, Adeline couldn't even lie to cover for Caleb.
"How can that be? You must be seeing things." Caleb was taken aback that Adeline couldn't see it. He refused to give up. "Sophie, come check. I'm really in pain. I was beaten."
Desperate, Caleb started to lift his shirt in front of Sophie.
"Ah!" Sophie was startled and quickly covered her eyes.
Matthew, quick on the draw, slapped Caleb's hand away, his face dark with anger. "Caleb, what is wrong with you?"
"I think his brain's gone to mush." Dylan mocked without holding back. "He has no injuries at all, and here he is, making up lies to slander Eliza, huh?"
"Bullshit." Caleb's face turned red with fury. "Am I lying? She had me beaten. If it weren't for the people she called, would I say it was her?"
"Who knows if you have some kind of delusion?" Dylan had been annoyed by Caleb for a long time. "You think you're all that, first liking Eliza, then Caleb, and now you want to marry both of them. Who the hell do you think you are?"
"Shut up." Caleb could no longer hold back his anger. "Who said I like Eliza?"
"Eliza is scheming and malicious, full of jealousy, and her heart is as ugly as they come. If she hadn't shamelessly kept pestering me back then, would I have given her a second glance? Don't be ridiculous."Caleb shouted without hesitation. "I will never like her."
As his words fell, the surrounding area fell into a heavy silence.
