If she planted that seed in Damien's mind, Maria knew exactly what would happen.
The bitterness Damien already harbored would ignite into pure rage.
A rage strong enough to make him want to crush Valentina completely.
To destroy her with his own hands, without Maria ever lifting a finger.
At that moment Maria's breathing grew steadier, the panic fading from her chest, 'Yes,' she thought darkly, this is it.
If she could pull this off...
She wouldn't just get back at Valentina.
She would unleash something on her that even Raymond might not see coming.
Maria's heart raced faster with every second as she pieced the plan together in her mind.
"Yes," she thought firmly again, this is going to work. It has to work.
She didn't need to do much.
All she had to do was channel Damien's anger properly—aim it straight at Valentina like a loaded weapon.
And knowing the kind of pride Damien had, Maria was certain he would bite without hesitation.
