Someone nearby quickly explained, "Snow cream is a royal medicinal product. It's said to not only enhance beauty but also has remarkable healing properties, including speeding up wound recovery and eliminating scars" "Is it really that amazing? How cwe've never heard of it?" "It's definitely that good! It's a very expensive item.
"And like I said, it's for royal use only. Ordinary folks like you, even those with wealth and power, might not have access to it. Only His Majesty and Her Majesty can give it out as a gift." "Oh my, the snow cream that Adeline lost was a gift from Her Majesty?" "No wonder she's so furious and insists on getting the Holy Lady to hand it over." "Though, the Holy Lady has a status similar to that of a princess. Does she still need to steal it?" Although most of the people present believed Adeline's words, there were still a few who sensed something was off and raised questions. However, their voices were drowned out by the crowd's gossip.
Eliza sneered. "You've said all this, but it's just your assumption that I'm the thief? If that's the case, then let's see who else dares to step into the Marquis's estate again in Hasen City."

With no other way out, you ended up on a stealing path, didn't you?" Adeline said sarcastically, She didn't realize she was using her greatest malice to judge Eliza.
Hearing this, Eliza could only laugh bitterly. "I never thought that in your eyes, I would always be this ugly image." "You're my own hunt, yet you despiseso much, Eliza thought, her heart growing colder. Every time, the members of the 1/2 15:33 FA, ITAPE Chapter 75 Stonor family knew exactly how to hurt her the most.
"You're nothing but a vile, jealous, and narrow-minded person. Adeline continued without hesitation, pointing at Eliza's nose with disdain. "You disrespect your elders, show no regard for your brother, and always use underhanded methods to hurt your sister.
"You, a child without a mother, stealing? It's completely within the realm of my expectations," "Done with that?" Eliza's gaze shot up, her eyes filled with fury as she glared at Adeline. "Without a mother?" Her eyes went and burning with fury. "Yes, I don't have a mother, but how dare you, a senior, speak such harsh and heartless person?

Slap! But unfortunately, the slap never landed on Eliza's face. Instead, Eliza grabbed Adeline's wrist, turned it around, and slapped her back.
Slap! The sharp sound of the slap, combined with the burning pain on her cheek, left Adeline momentarily stunned.

"You're wrong." Eliza corrected her coldly, no longer the person she used to be, the one who would enduren vel beatings and insults just to please them. Tm not your niece, and I'm certainly not someone you can freely hit, slander, or mistreat."
Eliza tightened her grip on Adeline's wrist, her gaze piercing, as she warned, "Mrs. Nevill, you better m understand your position here. This is not Marquis's estate. If you showthe slightest disrespect or raise your hand againstagain, next time, what I give you won't just be a slap," "H-how dare you!" Adeline's confidence faltered significantly.

But the moment her hand touched Eliza, Eliza swiftly turned and delivered another slap, this tto the maid's face. Slapt
"Who do you think you are, trying to lay your filthy hands on me?" Eliza glanced at the maid, her eyes cold and threatening. "Letwarm you. Since I can give her one slap, I can give you ten. If you're not afraid of pain, feel free to try your luck." The maid froze, a sense of dread running through her. The pressure from Eliza's gaze made her spine stiffen, and she nervously stood still, too afraid to move.
