Her smile was so full of mockery that Benjamin couldn’t help but feel like he didn’t understand her at all.

“Why should I let go of being accused without reason so easily? Is her status a Get Out of Jail Free card?” Grace said.

After all, Celia was only this bold because the Hawkins had let her off the hook again and again. There was no way Grace would pass on the chance to punish her.
