Chapter 1598: Penny, if you’re looking for loyalty, she’s right here!
"In some cases, that approach works. Not everyone with a badge does their job properly. But the detectives involved in this case did a thorough job. Check the report—you’ll see Miss Cassandra Smith had been under surveillance for months before her arrest."
Kiara and Hugo raised their brows before the former reached for the report. They skimmed through it; both were experienced enough to understand what they were reading.
Meanwhile, Grace observed them silently. Seeing that both—Kiara especially—seemed to comprehend the report, she nodded with satisfaction. It saved her the time to explain everything further.
"That’s right," Grace continued. "That’s exactly why the appeal was rejected. Our only option now is to take it to the higher court."
Slowly, Kiara looked up at her. Her eyes shimmered with confusion and concern.
"What do we do?" she asked. "It feels like we’ve run out of grounds for appeal with everything in these files. I don’t want to sound rude, but does this mean we’ll have to wait until her trial is over to get her out of there?"
Grace pressed her lips into a thin line and shrugged. "That’s an option, but there’s another way."
As soon as she said that, the corner of her mouth curled into a knowing smirk. Her brows wiggled with slight mischief. Kiara and Hugo furrowed their brows, puzzled. Even Hugo knew it was probably too late to get Cassandra bailed.
They exchanged confused looks before turning back to Grace. However, the smile on Grace’s face was still there.
