"Simon has been stripped of his title. What he did pained this town for a long time. There was talk of letting you keep your title, but there are things that you have done that deserve punishment. You have already confessed to them," said Mark.
"That," Kate started, but she could not find the right words to defend herself.
"Before you married Simon, I was already building a case around you and your mother for what happened to your sister. You were Simon's victim, but that doesn't excuse how you have hurt others. Your own sister. You might only share a father with her, but it is enough that you should have never hurt her," Mark said. "Seeing that you came to us to confess means that you realised your mistakes."
