Facing his scrutinizing gaze, Gloria's eyes flickered, her thoughts drifting back to the afternoon.
Sebastian and Lucas had left one after the other, leaving her alone in the office.
She already had a deep aversion to the courthouse, and the place was filled with Sebastian's presence, making it hard for her to breathe.
Gloria had wanted to step out for some air, but footsteps echoed in the hallway from time to time.
She didn't know if any of these people were the same ones from the courtroom three years ago.
If she went out, would someone recognize her as the Russell family's heiress who was judged three years ago?
And there was still no news about Elodie.
Even if she couldn't stand it any longer, she had to force herself to stay.
As the sky gradually darkened, the night enveloped Gloria like a vast net.
Uncontrollably, Gloria recalled her days in prison.
