Chapter 587:

“There is no need to apologize to me. Your daughter was a wonderful girl. Now that justice has finally been served, I believe her soul can rest in peace.”

“It just came too late,” she whispered, her voice breaking.

Jolene offered them a gentle nod before parting ways. Outside the courthouse, she and Corrine slipped into Waldo’s car, leaving the weight of the trial behind them.
