That woman. She is terrible\u2026and really good for the morale.\u00a0A master in the art of manipulation, you watch her weave her intricate web of lies<\/a> with relish just like\u00a0Simone Signoret<\/strong> in Les Diaboliques<\/em>.<\/p>

And we pride ourselves in several ways: \u201cfirst, because we understand and are privy to her plans, since the author or writer exposed us to them,\u201d states Katia Denard, \u201cthen secondly because we would have never let the plan fail\u201d unlike the woman who is eventually fooled.<\/p>
