Chapter 132: Behind Bars

Meanwhile, Lily was sitting in a prison cell that was well-furnished for her, as she danced and listened to a song through her headphones. Oh yes, she was given good privileges because her family was rich, and of course, she did not feel anything or even feel like she was in a cell. She shook her leg sideways as she continued to hum a song to herself.

Just then, the guards walked towards her and knocked their baton against the iron of the gate. She looked at them and smiled. “My parents are finally here,” she muttered to them, and the two guards nodded affirmatively as she stood up, placed her headphones on the bed, which was well made, and slowly followed behind them.

As she walked behind them, they had already cuffed her hands, but she still had a smile on her face as some of the other prisoners looked at her with jealousy. But she truly did not care. That was the privilege she got for being from a rich family. As she walked behind the guards, she soon reached the phone booth and saw her mom sitting there, her eyes filled with anger as she watched Lily.

But Lily still slowly and majestically walked toward her. She sat down and placed the phone in her ear, ready to hear her mom's attack.

“How could you do something like that? How could you think of killing somebody out of jealousy? Does it even make sense to you at all? I am assuming it does not make any sense to you. Do you know how hard I had to work to get that lawyer by my side? He knows you are wrong. Do you know how much money I wasted just to make him get whatever fake evidence he needed or give him whatever he wanted just to make sure you get out of here? And this is what you decide to do? You decide to be a bad person, right? After everything I have done for you, after all the morals I have taught you just to make sure that you are the best, this is still how you turn out? Do you know how disappointed I am in you?”

Her mother questioned, and Lily laughed.

“Why should you even be disappointed in me? After all, I learned from the best. You should be happy that I am able to do a perfect job. I am going to walk out of this unscathed, and if you don't want to help me and instead you want to continue shouting at me and telling me I am not in my right senses, then better still, I will face Dad instead and let him be the one to help me, not you. You can't come here and shout at me thinking you have the upper hand. Yes, you're my mom, but I learned from you, didn’t I? So why else would you be shouting at me like I have no rights? You can't yell at me like that. I can sue you for trying to tell me what to do, you know?”

Lily said, and her mom laughed.

“They really want to claim the daughter that I had no choice but to have and train. You are daring to tell me you would sue me? Do you even know what I am capable of doing to you? I am your mom. Do not forget that. I am so ashamed of what you did. Funny enough, the news is spreading wild. I cannot cover it up again for you. I just have to make sure you get out according to what your dad wants. Do you even know what he would do to you if he came to meet you? You're telling me you want to give it to your dad? You want him to be the one to deal with it and not me? You’re going to make your life miserable by yourself. We sent you to school to learn to become better. You went there and began to fight for a man who doesn’t care; he isn’t even your mate,” her mom said.

Lily immediately removed the phone from her ear and placed it directly in her mouth so her mom would hear her very clearly. “Don't you ever say something like that about James! You can insult me as much as you want. You can attack me any way you want. But don't ever attack James. He is very special to me, and I would not let your words cause any changes to me because I will still continue to love him like my life depends on it!”

She yelled as her mom scoffed.

“Really? It has gotten to this extent? It has gotten to a point where you tell me that you are going to fire back with words because of a man? A man who doesn’t even care about you? Do you really think it would change anything? I would make sure you don’t get out if you make things worse for me,” she said to her and was about to stand up.

But Lily was not going to let her go. She stood up instantly and began to bang on the glass. “Mom! Mom! Come back here! You can't leave me here! You have to help me!”

She yelled and suddenly felt scared. But her mom did not even turn for a second. She looked at the guards as they were already prepared to come and hold her down if she should misbehave in any way. She sat down again and tried her best to breathe in.

But then she remembered the way she looked at Isabella, the smirk she had on her face, and the way James did not come to support Isabella. And then she felt even angrier. She wanted her mom to help her, and yet she was the one who used her own mouth to ruin things for herself.

“I can't. I have to win. I can't let Isabella think she won against me. I have to make her life a living hell and not the other way around.”
