Victoria Morrison came back to her senses and followed Purple Summers to the front.
In the courthouse, smoking was basically banned throughout the entire building, with the exception of personal offices and the emergency exit hallways only.
Alongside the hallway, there was a window. Leaning against it, Victoria Morrison pulled out a lighter and lit a cigarette for herself.
Purple Summers couldn't help but say, "You smoke too?"
"Yes, my husband is a heavy smoker, and after being around him for a few years, I started smoking as well," Victoria Morrison said faintly. Amidst the curling smoke, the lines at the corners of her eyes seemed even more desolate.
With this topic brought up, Purple Summers didn't feel it appropriate to say anything, so she fell silent.
At that moment, Victoria Morrison asked her, "Are you confident about your closing arguments?"
Purple Summers nodded slightly.
Victoria Morrison looked out the window and said nothing more.
