Suddenly, a triumphant smile spread across John's face. He said in a cold voice, "Since she's sick, she should be locked up. Amy, take her to South District Psychiatric Hospital."
"Right away, sir." Amy, who was capable and efficient, walked toward Isabella. "Miss Zhang, let's go."
Isabella was scared. She held onto her mother's hand tightly, unwilling to go with Amy.
She felt that she would be taken to a terrible place.
She knew that John would not just let her go without making her suffer.
"She's sick and can't understand people's words. Just drag her away," Nina said. She did not like talking too much. She preferred action.
"Nina... you..." As soon as Isabella started to speak, Amelia covered her mouth, fearing that she would give away the truth that she was not mentally ill.
In truth, all the police officers present knew that Isabella was only pretending to have a mental illness, but they could not take her away because Amelia had prepared some evidence that proved she was mentally ill.
"She can walk by herself," Amelia snapped.
Then, she held her daughter in her arms and comforted her. She whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, Isabella. The deputy director of the South District Psychiatric Hospital is my friend. He will take good care of you. We'll get you out when
sheer panic flashed through his eyes. "That's ridiculous. I didn't do anything wrong," he grumbled.
John replied calmly, "You colluded with the senior executives of the Ye Group to extort advanced payments from a batch of suppliers. We found concrete evidence of it."
Nina stood there with her mouth hanging open. She could not help staring at her husband with admiration.
She knew that sooner or later, John would take revenge on the Zhang family.
However, she did not expect that he would go to great lengths just to make sure that none of them escaped punishment.
The place went still. The next moment, Richard returned.
"We've acquired the South District Psychiatric Hospital, sir. All the people associated with Amelia Zhang have been dismissed," he reported.
Amelia felt her knees wobble. Her vision darkened, and she fainted.
As he caught his wife's limp body, Glenn pressed his lips into a thin line. 'I'm doomed,' he thought to himself.
Nina stared at John once again. His face betrayed emotion. She had never seen him this calm.
The others also looked toward John.
They thought that John deserved to be one of the most powerful men in the city.
Seeing what happened today, they found out firsthand that those who offended John were punished severely. No one was spared.
