The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 663

The slap landed squarely, leaving Matthew frozen in place, his mind reeling from the shock. Even the servant who had gone to fetch help for him stood there, utterly dumbfounded.

He had thought that the Duke’s arrival would mean justice to Matthew. But who could have imagined that the illegitimate son would be so shameless?

A grown man, acting all innocent and pitiful like a helpless maiden was disgusting.

And yet, the Duke actually bought into it. Without even hearing Matthew’s side of the story, he had already taken the illegitimate son’s side.

Matthew was the Duke’s legitimate heir. For the Duke to strike his own son in favor of an outsider, how was Matthew supposed to hold his head high after this?

If even a servant could see the absurdity of it all, how could Matthew not?
