Punishment (1)
Once again, Alessandra found Edgar to be acting strange. Whenever he was too happy and it wasn't because of her, he had done something to someone else. She was curious who it was this time since Katrina was here and she had banned him from going to see her so frequently.
"What are you up to now, Edgar?" Alessandra asked, giving in as she could no longer stop her curiosity.
"You haven't read the morning paper? For once the court has done its job right although it took so long to do it. Here," Edgar handed Alessandra the paper. He almost found himself wanting to give Mark a pat on the back, but he wasn't that kind. He had to give himself a pat on the back since he was the one pushing Mark to be better at his job.
As Alessandra read the paper, her eyes widened with every sentence. "The court released everything Kate said. That's surprising since from what Tobias told us, it didn't seem like they wanted to do anything to her."
