Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 212: Eavesdropper

Astrid's POV

I almost choked in surprise when I heard Vanessa's words. I was just about to take a sip from my glass of wine when Vanessa blatantly said those words without even a bit of fear in her. I chuckled softly as I took the table napkin in front of me and softly dabbed my lips clean.

I had been secretly eavesdropping on their conversation the whole time. I remained close to their table, just near enough to hear what everyone was saying without them noticing me.

I was curious. I wanted to find out what their relationship with each other was, and now I finally found the answer that I was looking for.

It turns out I was right; Giselle used to live in the Crimsonbane Pack, which means she had a connection with Damien and Vanessa. However, there's something off between them.

There is certainly that hostility and tension going on between them, and judging by Vanessa's words just earlier, Giselle must have done something bad in the Crimsonbane Pack for Vanessa to hate her that much. I just wonder what that is.

"Autism is a complex neurological condition, and it's never anyone's fault," Giselle answered in a calm voice, which surprised me.

When did Giselle ever feel calm after receiving an insult? Giselle is a person who has never backed down to anyone. She's someone that you cannot mess with.

Yet, she was able to deflect Vanessa's insults just now without even feeling aggrieved about it.

My back straightened when something clicked in my head. I think Giselle had finally found her match.
