Meanwhile...

"In the case of..."

Silence filled the courtroom as they listened to the judge's stern voice delivering his verdict.

Those involved in the case on both sides waited with bated breath, hoping they would hear what they wanted to hear.

"... You have been found not guilty"

Cheers erupted from one side as the accused and her family cried in joy, rushing to embrace each other. Those on the other side, however, frowned deeply and watched as the accused celebrated with her family.

As the judge continued his closing remarks, very few people listened mostly the lawyers, who were paying attention to the important details. The only thing that mattered to the accused and her family was whether or not she was found guilty.

Penny, who was seated in the back, shook her foot and watched the scene unfold before her eyes. The corner of her mouth curled up as she nodded in satisfaction. Her eyes veered to the accused and her family, who were now thanking their lawyer for helping them. "Another win," she thought, her eyes on the beautiful and smart woman who dominated the court today without breaking a sweat.

After a few minutes, Penny stood up as everyone began leaving the courtroom. As she did, she caught sight of the opposing prosecutor speaking glaringly to the defense lawyer. The latter simply replied with a smirk.

"Well." Penny shrugged and headed straight out of the courthouse, knowing there were more things that Grace would do with the family. Therefore, she waited patiently outside the portico of the court.

"I knew it!" After a few minutes of brief silence, Penny heard that familiar voice. "I thought I was seeing things.

Slowly, Penny turned her head back, only to see the same lawyer from the courtroom today speaking briefly to the family. They thanked Grace again before she quickly made her way to Penny.

"Did I make you wait too long?" Grace asked meaningfully, smiling.

Penny shook her head. "It's not making me wait if I just dropped by to say hello without giving you a heads up, right?"

"Yes, it's not, Grace chuckled. "Let's go. I know a place where we can eat and talk. I'm starving."
