Chapter 118
“Yes… Yes, it was I who deceived Lady Sophie.*
Dylan frowned, “Then why did you do this?”
Unity stammered, “I just…I just hate Matthew, so L..
Hearing this, Gabriel felt it was almost over, so he interrupted her and wanted to draw a condtion. “Okay, exord’s nonsense. Now that everything has been cleared up, it is clear that this servant has offended her superiors. This Kand of crime will be dealt with by our family. As for the rest, there is no need to trouble the Prince Regent and Holy Lady!
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Eliza ask in surprise, “Lady Sophie, do you really not know wrything
Of course, Sophie continued to pretend to be pitiful. “I really don’t know, please. Holy Lady, please don’t be prejudiced against me because of your previous misunderstanding
She deliberately spoke very euphemistically.
But to other people’s ears, it was Eliza who was finding fault with her.
Just as Benedict was about to say something, Eliza laughed. “Prejudice? Why would you think that I have never even takes you seriously.”
Upon hearing this, everyone present wore a look of astonishment.
Apparently, no one expected Eliza to admit it so blatantly, no matter how much the disliked Sophie, for the sake of her ow reputation.
Gabriel said, “Eliza, you….”
Eliza ignored Gabriel’s frown and said indifferently, “Enough with the nonsense. You may have a lot of scapegoats to push out, but unfortunately, you fabricated your lies too early.”
Sophie said timidly, “I don’t understand what you mean….
Eliza ignored her and turned to Nolan behind her. “We can proceed now. Bring them out.”
Just as the Stonor family was puzzled, Nolan curled his lips and gave the Black Flag captain a knowing look
Soon, several people were brought in.
The first one was the owner of the Phoenix Restaurant. ‘Come and identify them”
“Come and identify them.”
These people obviously knew what they were here for before they came. So after the owner of the Phoenix Restaurant stepped forward, he looked at Sophie and Unity, then pointed at Unity and said, “This is the one who bought a roast duck from the Phoenix Restaurant yesterday.”
Unity knelt on the ground, afraid to move.
But the next second, she found that Sophie suddenly stiffened, her entire body tenser than hers.
Unity immediately looked up and saw that after the owner of the Phoenix Restaurant had finished identifying her and walked away, the few people behind him were actually all owners of medicine shops in the capital.
In an instant, Unity understood.

It was true she bought the roast duck, but it was Sophie who had formulated the poison and bought the medicine to make it.
Sophie wanted her to take the blame, but now no one could take the blame for her.
Unity felt a surge of joy.
The first apothecary owner pointed at Sophie and said with certainty, “It’s her. Although this girl was wearing a hat and veil yesterday, her voice can’t be mistaken. And her figure looks like it.”
The second apothecary owner also nodded, “It was her who came to our shop to buy medicine yesterday. Although we have many customers, the medicines this girl bought were all unusual and mostly poisonous herbs, so I paid more attention to her. It’s definitely not wrong.”
The third one looked at Sophie, and although he wasn’t very sure, he still asked, “Did you buy any lemon cake yesterday? I don’t quite remember it, but I still remember that the girl who bought the herbs seemed to be carrying a pastry that smelled of lemon.”
Gabriel and Dylan, who came back with Sophie yesterday, were suddenly silent.
Seeing their reaction, everyone else understood, and their eyes on Sophie were filled with complex emotions.
Sophie fell to the ground and had a pale face.
