The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 429

429.Chapter 429

Dylan caught Matthew’s punch mid–air, his expression cold and unyielding. This is between you and me. Why drag Eliza into it?”

“Because I want to Matthew snapped, his voice laced with fury. “You’d cut ties with me for her, wouldn’t you? Finel Either let me vent my anger today or knock me down. Otherwise, I swear I’ll make her pay for this!

Matthew suddenly swung a fierce kick at Dylan, who barely managed to dodge in time, stepping back just in the nick of time.

Dylan straightened, his gaze sharp and filled with disbelief. “Matthew! She’s your sister, too. If you can be so kind to an outsider, why can’t you show the same kindness to your own family?”

Matthew spat blood onto the ground, his face twisted with hatred. “She stopped being my sister the moment she ruined my engagement with Diana! And you’re no better!

Matthew glared at Dylan, his eyes blazing with resentment. “You said you wanted to cut ties with me, didn’t you? Well, you don’t have to bother anymore. From the moment you chose Eliza, from the moment you stood by her instead of your own brother, you stopped being my sibling! All of you, just leave me alone!

“Eliza, Diana, and you! I don’t care if I’m left with no one. It doesn’t matter to me anymore!

“Today, the only thing I care about is whether you have the guts to fight me!”

Matthew’s eyes locked onto Dylan, his gaze unwavering and filled with challenge.

This time, Dylan took a deep breath. When he looked at Matthew again, his face was calm but carried a chilling determination. “If that’s what you’re after, I’ll give it to you.”

The two clashed again.

Sophie watched the chaos she had orchestrated unfold, a satisfied smile tugging at her lips.

When her eyes finally landed on the two figures sprawled on the ground, too injured to move, a smile crept onto her face. “Matthew, why didn’t you listen? I told you not to fight Sophie’s expression shifted in an instant. She rushed forward, her face painted with worry and urgency, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Look at you! You’re a mess. If something serious had happened, what would I do? How could I bear it, Matthew?” Her voice trembled as she forced tears to spill from her eyes.

The sight of her tear–streaked face struck a chord in Matthew’s heart, filling him with guilt and sorrow.

After everything, Matthew felt abandoned by the world, his emotions raw and fragile. Seeing Sophie’s concern made his nose sting.

He thought, ‘See? I didn’t make the wrong choice. It’s not that I didn’t want to listen. It’s Dylan and the others who refused to choose me. But it doesn’t matter. Sophie will always choose me.”

Matthew reached out to wipe the tears from Sophie’s face, guilt heavy in his voice. “I’m sorry, Sophie. Don’t cry. I’m fine. really…” He winced sharply as pain shot through his jaw, cutting his words short.
