GoodNovelThe Silent 265 Chapter 265 Chapter 265 All of the medicinal herbs in Solacecrest Manor were promised by her to Nolan.
They were meant for the Black Flag. Those soldiers had fought for Bortenland for years, only to end up with broken bodies, crippling injuries, and lifelong pain.
And now, after a month of careful cultivation, more than half of the herbs had been destroyed by these people. They didn't even spare the fields themselves.
These thieves went too far. Eliza refused to let this slide.
She would never let the mastermind behind this get away with it. As for these thieves, they wouldn't be spared either.
She said, "Malaki, give them a proper welcome." Malaki hadn't expected this side of Eliza.
He'd always thought the usually kind and gentle young lady was just like her mother.
But now, it turned out beneath that gentleness was a deadly edge. She was just like her father.

His long-dormant heart was stirred to excitement. 'Mr. Padilla, our family finally has someone to carry on! Suppressing his excitement, Malaki chuckled with a full face of smiles, "Rest assured, dealing with these scums is my specialty." He turned and gave an order.
Several servants stepped forward, each grabbing one of the thieves. Two held each man down, then they carried over the buckets filled with the spoison- laced sap. After topping the buckets off with water, they forced the thieves' heads into them, one by one.
The first three, including the leader, flailed desperately, sending water splashing everywhere.
"Your Grace, please have a seat." Renee glanced at Malaki. She was inspired. She ran off and returned with a random chair she'd found, placing it behind Eliza.
Eliza turned to look at her, only to see the little girl smiling innocently.
She smiled helplessly and reached out to pat Renee's head, "Thank you, Renee." As Malaki kept a stern eye on the punishment being carried out, he also snuck a glance at the interaction beside him.
His sharp old eyes briefly swept over Renee, and then he began to chuckle meaningfully to himself, clearly of something.
"No! Please don't!" "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!" "Spare us! Please, just let us go!" ing thought 000 UE, 22 APE Chapter 265 That night, Solacecrest Manor was far from quiet.
TO 9170 8 By the tthe night had passed, those seven thieves had been tortured until they were on the brink of collapse.
No one even had to interrogate them. Everything they should and shouldn't have said cspilling out. The mastermind behind it all was just as Eliza had suspected.
Anthony never showed his face, so these small-tthugs didn't know exactly where the poison cfrom. They only knew it was given to them by a man.
The man had worn a mask, but his eyes were distinctive. His eyes were deeply gloomy. He had a thin build and a low voice.
Just from those few clues, Eliza immediately knew it was Matthew.
Malaki still hadn't caught on. "Just those few traits? That's enough to identify him?" He hadn't really seen much of the Stonor brothers, so he didn't connect the dots.
So when Eliza named the culprits, he was stunned.
Eliza stated calmly, "It was Matthew Stonor and Anthony Stonor." Malaki found these names familiar.
After a moment of stunned silence, Malaki exclaimed in disbelief, "My lady, are you saying your brothers?" "Yes." Eliza's expression was steady. But Malaki was anything but calm.

Ever since Eliza left Hasen City, Malaki had been traveling back and forth frequently due to managing both Solacecrest Manor and Oriphoenix Building. As a result, it was only natural that he'd inevitably hear bits and pieces of news. He'd learned of the repeated conflicts between Eliza and the Duke's estate.
More importantly, he'd heard how Caroline's four sons had treated their sister just because of an illegitimate daughter.
At first, Malaki couldn't believe it. But the rumors grew louder. Even then Emperor and the Prince Regent had gotten involved and had repeatedly stood up for Eliza. So, after hearing Eliza confirm that the masterminds were Matthew and Anthony, he couldn't accept it.
"How could they treat you like this? Aren't you their blood sister?" Malaki grieved. "If your mother knew... if she knew, how heartbroken would she be?" Fighting among siblings was truly tragic.
It seemed the Padilla family's bloodline had becso foolish, to be so easily manipulated by swoman.
Eliza said nothing, nor did she offer Malaki any comfort.
After all, he was the Padilla family's steward. She was her mother's m daughter. But those brothers of hers were also her mother's sons. So, if Malaki ever decided to return to them, they would surely accept him. So, although Eliza had taken Malaki back in, she still needed him to make a choice. He could either stand with her or with those "good brothers" of hers.
