Chapter 129: The Courtroom Showdown

As the prosecutor walked in, everyone gasped in shock because it was not just any kind of prosecutor, but one of the best in town. He had actually never lost a case, whether being the opposite or the defender; he really had never lost to anybody. He never made sure a client complained; instead, he always left with his smiling face, and he got his pockets filled up. Yes, he was quite expensive, but he always did the job. Behind him were Lily's parents. Ever since the issue about Lily's murder case and the issue with the nurse, her parents had never stepped their feet there and instead continuously talked on the phone, only for them to come all looking rich and expensive.

Of course, everyone knew that Lily's parents were well off, but seeing them personally, it looked as if they were even more well off than Lily had portrayed them to be. The lawyer quickly rushed in and stood in front of the judge.

“I am really sorry for the delay, but I had to make sure my evidence is correct and up to date,” he said as the judge rolled his eyes.

“Wow. So Lily, the one with the murder case, brought you to defend her. That means she really wants to walk out of here scot-free. But I would not let that happen. If she is found guilty, she is found guilty,” the judge insisted as the prosecutor had a wide smirk on his face.

“That is if the evidence finds her guilty. If the evidence doesn't, then it does not make any sense at all,” he insisted and then went to his seat as the case continued.

Lily did not stop looking directly at Isabella throughout the case because she wanted to continuously remind her that she now had the upper hand and she was definitely going to win. But Isabella had no idea about anything concerning the prosecutor. Alex noticed this and whispered into her ear, “This prosecutor is quite well known, and he has never lost a case before. I just hope that the evidence we have against Lily is going to be more than enough. If they call you up there, make sure to point out that you don’t remember a thing and the day you could remember coming to life because you don’t know anything.”

Alex reminded her as she nodded, getting herself ready to be called up to give her own words. Even though she did not know exactly what to say or any idea of what happened, she had been taught everything to say by Alex and Mirabelle days ago.

She looked back and saw Mirabelle and saw James had already arrived. Soon, while Tricia was still holding her hand, she looked at James, but James did not even glance back at her for one minute. He did not even act as if this case was her own, and he even tried to care for her.

The case began, and of course, the prosecutors began to attack each other, trying to find fault in what Lily did to what Lily did not do, even though there were so many raw pieces of evidence that made fingers point to Lily. Yet the prosecutor did not give up, bringing out all his equipment. Even the judge was surprised. He wondered how Lily was possibly going to walk out of here free. He knew that there was no way, so he wanted to delay it.

He stood up and was about to give a judgment when the prosecutor had a smile on his face. The judge laughed. “The case has been cut into half. This case is taking longer than I expected, so we would have to continue another day. Fix a date from a week from now. Do you understand?”

He said to his secretary as she nodded and immediately started jotting things down. Then he ended the court hearing before walking away as Alex stood there in frustration and Isabella was confused.

“This case isn't supposed to take this long. There was enough evidence. What's wrong?” she muttered as Alex laughed.

“Didn't you hear what I said earlier? I told you she has people behind her back. She has people who are ready to do anything for her. Her parents are freaking rich, and she brought one of the best prosecutors in the whole city. What do you expect?” he said, feeling all pissed as he stormed out clearly to go and bring the car out so they could go back home since they already had an appointment at the hospital too.

Just as Isabella stood in front of the door with Tricia, who was trying her best to console her friend, Lily was chained again by the police, and they were guiding her out of the courtroom. She stopped just as she got in front of Isabella. She looked at the police and they gave her a chance to talk to Isabella. After all, she was chained both in her legs and her hands.

“I see you have given up. You should give up even if you have any hint of hope in you because you are going to lose badly, more than you expect. You won't even get the chance to brace yourself by the time I am done with you. Yes, you have evidence, but you don't have the money I have. That's the difference. And you have no memories either,” Lily said, and then she laughed again.

“If I don't have dreams for myself at the end of all this, I would make sure your life is more miserable than this. I don't care if you have recordings of anything. I still would not change my mind. I would still get James as mine and mine alone.”

She whispered, then pecked Isabella on the cheek before walking away as Isabella shivered.

Why was she acting all crazy? She thought she had never seen a lady as stupid and mad as Lily could be. Tricia was also confused as she held onto Isabella. She knew that she could not add to the argument, or else the discussion between her and Isabella would have been more hectic and longer, so she just stayed away but consoled Isabella as Isabella still felt her cheek itching from Lily's wet lips on her cheek. It was so irritating for a devil to still have the guts to act like an angel in a very bad way.
