In Chapter 45, Bertuccio recounts the killings at Caderousse’s inn, his wrongful arrest, and the help from Abbé Busoni that secures his release and employment. He also describes Assunta’s fatal mistreatment by Benedetto and his companions, while Monte Cristo questions his guilt, studies the garden, and returns to Paris to receive Haydée.
