Scarlett's POV
It was finally the day of the verdict.
I drove Aria and myself to the courthouse and I was gently surprised at how calm Aria was this time. Last time we were going to the courthouse which - according to Aria - looked like a haunted building, she wasn't making a fuss about going back to that scary place.
Maybe it's because of her excitement to meet Ms Kelly.
And I was right.
The house was busy for some reason today. Did everyone want to solve their cases right before New Year?
"Ah, there's my favorite girl~"
The tall, blond woman in sophisticated clothes and files tucked under her arm called out for Aria.
"Ms Kelly!" Aria dashed out of the car and embraced the woman. Ms Kelly crouched to her height, hugging Aria dearly.
"And this is for well-behaved children only. Seems like you're going to get it for today out of all the other children here~" Ms. Kelly fished out candy from her pocket and showed it to Aria who gasped.
