Chapter 1677: Neither a Reed nor a Bennet

"What did you say you did?"

Kiara instinctively pulled her hand from Cassandra's loose grip. Her eyes swirled with disbelief as she shook her head, as if what she had just heard was too

unbelievable to process.

"You... hired men-shady men-to intrude into Nina's home and deliver a package with a dead bird?" she repeated, watching Cassandra press her lips into a thin line. "And Attorney Grace knew this? Is that why she said what she did earlier?"

Earlier, Grace had suddenly uttered something in response to Cassandra's hesitation. Her words, "It's the court of law, not morality," had stood out to Kiara. She had noticed that but chose not to dwell on it, knowing that Cassandra had been unstable the past few months.

Kiara simply didn't expect this.

"I'm... I know it was wrong," Cassandra whispered. "And even if I regret it, I can't take back time-"

"But you can take accountability for that," Kiara interjected, her voice barely above a whisper. "Cassy, do you think leaving... is taking accountability?"

Nothing.

Cassandra didn't answer-not because she didn't know what to say, but because they both already knew the answer.

"Ki, I plan on apologizing." After a beat, Cassandra sighed. "It's just—"

"You didn't even apologize to Theo Miller, Cass," Kiara spoke again. "Not even to Patricia Miller."

Yes, Kiara had just learned that after Cassandra's confession because the latter had mentioned it. Cassandra had mentioned it when she said,

"I did a lot of things."

Kiara rose from her seat, keeping her eyes on Cassandra. She opened and closed her mouth, but no words came out. To be honest, she didn't know if she was angry or if what she was feeling was just pure dismay and disappointment.
