Throughout the ride from the Villa to the courthouse, Jason held onto the thoughts of anticipation that lingered in his mind. Finally, it was time to sever ties with Isabella completely, and he just couldn’t wait for everything to end before going ahead with the second phase of his plans. Henry was the only reason why he had not carried out his plans for the Palmers, and cutting ties with them entirely was the only thing he was waiting for, and that was going to take place soon. As soon as he drove into the vicinity of the courthouse, he saw the familiar white G-wagon parked in front of the building, and he recognized it at once. That was Clark’s car, he could never forget it. “They are actually here already.” He whispered to himself, and a few seconds later, he saw Isabella and Clark walking out from the back of the building with another man who looked like he was an important personality in the courthouse. The look on their faces showed signs that they were conspiring, and
“You mean my son, Henry? Oh, he is fine. He is fine, far away from your callousness and misconduct.” Jason said with a smirk that appeared on his face a few seconds later. He stared at Isabella who had so many words to say and chuckled almost immediately. “You lost the right to ask about him a long time ago, Isabella.” “Lies! You lie, Jason! He is my son, and there is nothing you can do about it!”“Oh, really?” “Yes!” Isabella stood her ground, engulfed by a sudden confidence that made her stand her ground, especially with Clark standing close to her. “I see. I am very curious, Isabella. Which mother would force a Doctor to give her child sleeping pills just to tell her ex-husband that the child is dead?” “I don’t know what you are talking about.” “I bet you do, Isabella. You know what I am talking about, and you will answer for it.” Jason said confidently, looking at Isabella who was forced to look at him almost immediately. “Yes, Isabella. You are going to do a lot of
The dumbfounded couple stared at Gregory as he lifted his face slowly without letting go of the smile on his face. “Hello, Greg. Is everything set?” “Yes, Young Master. We shall commence as soon as you are ready.” Gregory said with a low tone, and Jason nodded in satisfaction. “Good, that’s very good. I will be right there soon, Greg. I just need to settle a few things with my friends right here.” Jason said with a smirk on his face as he turned to look at the couple who were still thrown into a moment of bemusement and shock. “No problem at all, Young Master. I will be waiting for you inside.” Gregory looked at Clark and Isabella with so much disdain in his eyes, and then he turned slowly and walked back into the building. Clark and Isabella stared at him as he walked away until he was out of sight before they returned their gazes to Jason who was already enjoying the look on their faces. “Young Master? Why was he calling you that?” Isabella asked almost immediately, not
The courtroom was quiet, but even in the midst of the stillness, Jason still found his confidence which exhumed an aura that almost consumed Isabella as soon as she walked into the room. She met Jason and his Attorney whispering some words to themselves while they looked at the documents in the files in front of them. It was as if they were war Generals looking at a truckload of missiles, and getting ready to launch them at their opponents. They saw Isabella as soon as she entered the room and grabbed a seat opposite them at the long conference table, but they pretended as though she did not exist, and continued what they were doing. At some point, she got a bit anxious and tried to peep to see what they were looking at in their documents, but her vision was too blurry, and she couldn’t strain further in order not to be noticed. “Thank you so much for this, Greg. Thank you for taking the time to get these ready, I am sure that everything will work perfectly.” “That’s not a p
Jason looked at Gregory, asking if he had the right to know where the baby was, and Gregory nodded in response. “He is with me,” Jason responded calmly, and the Judge nodded with a smirk on his face with his eyes showing signs of intended mischief. “I was hoping that he was going to be present in this court hearing.” “That was not stipulated, Magistrate. There was no demand by the Judge who was supposed to preside over this case that the baby should be brought. Moreover, he is still a toddler, and would definitely have no impact in this case.” Gregory responded firmly, looking at the Magistrate with so much displeasure. Isabella rolled her eyes at Gregory, but he was so occupied with looking at Albert that he didn’t even realize that she was glaring at him. The Magistrate adjusted his glasses while he glared at Gregory who stood his ground against his intended intimidation.“I believe that as the legal representative of the Petitioner, you are supposed to inform him of some
Jason stared at the couple who were seated at the other side of the table, and he folded his arms without letting go of his smile. “Magistrate?” Gregory called out to Albert who was startled out of his thoughts at once. “Yes! Erm!” Albert picked up the file which he dropped on the table while listening to the record and flipped through at once without knowing the particular page of the documents he was supposed to stop at. Everyone was eager to know what he was going to say as they all stared at him, but it seemed like he was very confused, and didn’t know where to begin. Severally, he cleared his throat as he suddenly felt choked while he tried to get a grip on himself. “Is he alright?” Jason whispered to Gregory who chuckled slightly before giving him a response. “I guess he is unable to handle the panic that we put him into.” Gregory looked at the magistrate for a few seconds before he shook his head and brought down his elbows from the table while he waited to hear wha
It was obvious to Jason that the Magistrate was going to attempt to hand over the custody of the child to Isabella even without a thorough analysis of the case, and he was prepared to carry out the plans that he had in mind. He pulled out his phone from his pocket without anyone knowing, and then he operated it for a few seconds before he returned it back to his picket and adjusted himself on his seat. Gregory wanted to speak up the moment he heard the Magistrate mention that Jason had no source of income, but he decided to remain calm since Jason told him he was going to handle things if they tried to get out of hand. Isabella and Clark were already smiling victoriously and were anticipating celebrating their success while they waited to hear what the Magistrate was going to say. “I have looked at the files presented by the two parties present at this court hearing, and after thorough analysis, I would say that the evidence provided by the Petitioner is not enough to declare
For a few seconds, the room was quiet while everyone continued to stare at Jason who took a little break from speaking. Gregory leaned toward him, and when he was sure that he was paying attention to him, he spoke with a tone that only Jason could hear. “I think we might have to request for this to be adjourned until Monday, then I can try to fix this. I can be able to get the right Judge to handle this case, not this Psycho.” Gregory suggested, glaring at Albert who was very much uneasy. “No, Greg. I don’t have that kind of time. I want this ended at once, and I can move over to the next thing I have in mind, I cannot be going back and forth with this. It’s been long overdue.” Jason shook his head to disagree with Gregory who sighed before he leaned backward and waited to see what Jason was going to do. “Albert Wilson…” Jason picked up his phone and searched for the Magistrate’s profile while everyone including Isabella and her companions looked at him. “Aha! Here we go. Le
