(OOC: Gold’s hair grew back, in other words the gif searcher was frustrating me and short hair gifs are thin on the ground)

Gold: I’m sorry what was that dearie? Cora? No need for concern there. She fancied herself very clever getting away with it all. Revenge would just have attracted unwanted attention for her.

Belle: *rolls eyes* You’re lucky I find you being smug so attractive.

Gold: *smirks* I suppose our friend is correct, Cora did get rather desperate. I refused to buy any of her properties and consequently Mills Construction headed for bankruptcy. Coming after either of us would have been counter-productive. I did rather enjoy her begging me to reconsider after everything she put you through.

Belle: She’s in jail now though. She got so desperate she made a mistake and then finally the law caught up with her. Justice was finally served.

Gold: And I acquired Mills Construction for a song when it was sold off to cover the debts. Happy endings all round.
