When the Duchess was bedridden, the Duke took up her responsibilities and he handed over some of them to Anna... Back when he trusted her.
They didn't know what she did to them but no one dared to reveal that they were feeding her information and basically acting like spies... This only made the situation more complicated...
"She's careful, meticulous even. We need someone willing to talk." The Duke whispered.
Who was behind Anna? Certainly, she didn't do it all by herself... This operation was too big to be done by only her. They needed to wait until the mastermind revealed themselves.
"Whoever it is," Adeline said, her voice firm, "We'll expose them. But we can't act rashly. One misstep and we'll lose everything."
Cassian's gaze lingered on Adeline as her focus shifted entirely to Benedict. Her laughter came easily when she was with him. She was much more relaxed and easygoing.
