"As planned?" Augustine raised an eyebrow, both intrigued and slightly amused.
He had rushed in, thinking she had walked straight into Denis's trap, that she had been in real danger. But in reality, she had used the entire situation with precision to free herself from Denis's grip.
A slow smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. 'She is more capable than I thought,' he mused.
"Denis wanted to break me," Anne continued with a mix of triumph and defiance. "But I made sure he paid for it." A mischievous grin spread across her lips as she tilted her head toward Augustine. "In the end, I won. I made those who wronged me suffer."
Augustine locked his gaze onto her, his curiosity piqued. "What else did you do?"
She blinked, her vision slightly blurred as the alcohol made her feel light and unburdened. A wide smile stretched across her face as she recalled Becca's downfall.
