Chapter 149: A Threat

James promised that he wouldn't tell anyone; he just needed to know who made the judge give injustice to Isabella.

“Okay, it was Lily's father. He threatened me. I didn’t want to accept any of these things, but he threatened to kill me and take my job away from me if I didn’t release his daughter and let her win the case,” the judge said to James.

James looked at him, shocked. “So, Lily’s dad did all this?” he exclaimed as he immediately walked out of the judge's office, but before he could go out completely, the judge stopped him.

“Please don’t confront him. I’m begging you. I don’t want to lose my job,” he pleaded with James.

James just said, “Don’t worry. Nothing of that sort is going to happen to you,” and then he walked out of the judge's office immediately.

He went to find Isabella's mother, who was sitting in the car as Isabella's dad comforted her. Alex stood beside her, looking angry, but deep inside he was happy at the same time because Lily was out. Lily would be able to help him hold James down. As long as she was there, James wouldn’t be able to get close to Isabella, he thought to himself.

It was also a good thing that Lily was out, and he felt happy deep inside. Though anger was displayed on his face, he didn’t want Isabella's mother to suspect anything wrong with his behavior. He also tried to comfort Isabella's mother.

James immediately arrived there, took Isabella's mother's hand, and made her go into the car. “You just need to go home and relax for now. I promise everything will be okay, and Isabella is going to regain her memory. One injustice wouldn’t change anything. I promise to fight for Isabella,” he said to Isabella's mom as she looked at him with gratitude.

As they drove out of the courtyard, James made up his mind to go confront Lily. Meanwhile, Lily was being given all her things that she brought to the prison ward, and she was receiving special treatment because of her status in the prison ward. She packed her things, and a prisoner came to inform her that her private car was already outside waiting for her.

Joyfully, she jumped to where the car was parked and immediately hopped in as the driver opened the passenger seat for her. “Oh, how I miss the comfort of my car,” she muttered to herself as she sat down comfortably, taking in the fragrance of her car, which she had missed for a long time. The driver immediately entered the car after her, driving directly to Lily's house.

Lily, who was so engrossed in her happiness, didn’t realize that the driver was on his way home. She was suddenly brought back to reality after dreaming about what she was going to do now that she was happy and out of jail.

“Overjoyed,” she thought. She immediately told the driver to turn around and go to the hospital where Isabella was being admitted. “Take me to the hospital where Isabella is being admitted,” she said to the driver.

The driver looked at her through the rearview mirror, shocked. “What did you say, ma'am?”

“Are you deaf? You didn’t hear what I just said? I said you should take me to the hospital where Isabella is being admitted!”

“Yes, ma'am,” the driver replied, out of fear. She was back now, and he had to follow all of her orders. He was really frustrated and felt like he should just punch her or maybe just ram the car into a hood so she could just die. But all of it was just in his thoughts as he laughed to himself, something he couldn’t even do.

“If I tried doing any of what I just thought, her father would kill me or better still, bury me alive,” he thought to himself as he started driving towards the hospital where Isabella was admitted.

As soon as the driver made a U-turn and was going to the hospital, Lily thought about what she would do to Isabella when she got there. She knew that Isabella's parents wouldn’t have gotten there, or they might have headed home first before going to see Isabella in the hospital.

She knew things would be running up and down, trying to find out why the judgment went like that. “So I have time to go check on Isabella," she thought. But all she felt was that Trisha, her best friend, might be there. It was unlikely that Trisha would be there.

So as she drove to the hospital, she made up a mental plan to take Isabella’s ward number forcefully from the nurse and then no accusations. She planned on bribing the doctor to keep Isabella in a coma for a long time so that Isabella wouldn’t wake up, and she would be able to get James back from Isabella.

She felt that as long as Isabella didn’t wake up for a long time, she would be able to regain James’s trust. She had a better plan in mind that would help her regain James’s trust, and they would become close once more.

She was only going to the hospital to give the doctor a sedative to administer to Isabella, which would keep her in a coma for a long time. As she thought all of this to herself, she laughed out loud sarcastically.

The driver just looked at her from the rearview mirror, thinking to himself, “This girl is really crazy. Just as soon as she got out of prison, I bet she’s planning something evil again in her mind. She must really be a crazy person. I wonder what her mom ate when she was pregnant for her to make her this wicked,” he said to himself as he looked at her once again and shook his head in frustration, not even knowing what to say to stop her.

He couldn’t do anything; after all, she was his boss, and she paid his salary. Or maybe her dad paid his salary, but it was still the same thing. There was nothing he could do as he watched her thinking evil things to do to Isabella. He felt pity for Isabella as he drove towards the hospital.
