Ten minutes later, Diamond was sitting in the interrogation room across from Agatha, who looked haggard than ever. The time she had spent in the holding cell seemed to be harsh, or was it the stress and pressure of getting imprisoned that got to her?
Either way, she felt relieved upon seeing the guilt and remorse on the other's face. She must have thought hard about it. Which was very good.
It would be a hassle to forgive someone who wasn't repentant. She would rather not get any rewards than let her go. Never!
Agatha had somewhat received a public defender who came to negotiate on her behalf. Inside the room, there were five people, including the officer who was overseeing the negotiations.
Diamond honestly didn't want to spend much time with Agatha or be stuck in such a small room. It felt suffocating, and the sooner she settled the matter, the sooner she could leave.
So, she let Kiara lay the first-round cards on the table first to gauge Agatha's response.
