Chapter 237: What to feel
The conversation between them went nowhere, hitting a dead end at every turn.
Not that Arabella hadn’t expected it. Edna denied every hint of involvement in Katherine’s fate.
But the young woman knew better than to trust her words. After what the blonde did to her, it was foolish to assume she’d simply sit with her arms crossed just because she couldn’t reach Arabella or curse her using witchcraft again.
It was obvious she’d go after people surrounding her.
The issue remained the same as her previous ordeal, there was no way to prove any of it. Mere supposition couldn’t win a case or worse yet, it could win... Wrongfully, effectively destroying Edna’s life even if she was innocent. There was a chance for that to be true no matter how slim.
The young woman halted before a familiar door. Not her own.
A shiver struck her upon realizing her feet had guided her there without asking for input or permission.
Her conscious mind had simply been clipped out from the making of that decision altogether.
After her legs, it was her hand that attempted to rebel. It rose, curled into a fist, ready to knock on the wood, but that time around, Arabella caught her limb in time before it embarrassed her.
A deep breath in, she forced her body to spin around and head back from whence it came. However, right as her feet had taken their second step away from the door, its creaking emanated from behind her, effectively cementing her still in place.
