Chapter 1102 Dire Consequences
“You, especially!” the prison guard bellowed as he gave James another lash. “Not only did you buy your way up, but
you also accepted bribes! What a sc*mbag! You don't deserve to live in this world!”
James instantly paled and almost cried out in pain.
Ouch! This hurts so much! When have I ever suffered like this before?
When the whip mercilessly landed on his back with another resounding snap, James could no longer tolerate the
pain and crumpled to the ground.
Even so, the prison guard walked over and brutally kicked him in the stomach. “Quit your act. Everyone knows the
crimes you've committed! There's a mountain of evidence against you! Get up right now!”
James' forehead was heavily beaded with sweat as he clutched his stomach and glared at the guard. “I'm not guilty.
I didn't take any bribes!”
“How dare you try to argue with me! Fine. Go ahead, then!” the guard retorted before raising his whip and
unleashing his fury on James.
Whack! Whack! Whack!

Unfortunately, none of the other prisoners dared to step forward, and they could only watch helplessly as James
suffered at the guard's hand.
By the time the guard grew tired and stopped the battering, James had been beaten to a pulp, and the whip was
drenched in blood.
He lay curled up on the ground, gazing at the gray, overcast sky and the four walls around him.
He slowly closed his eyes as he whispered to himself, “I didn't commit any crimes... I'm innocent...”
I'm innocent...
After the prisoners had finished their chores, they lined up one by one to leave the place, leaving James behind.
The snow kept falling, growing larger and denser with every passing second.
As James remained on the ground, the snow fell on his head and clothes.
Soon, an hour passed...
Two hours later, one of the prison guards couldn't bear the sight any longer and approached the cold-hearted guard
from earlier.
“Boss, don't let him freeze to death. If the higher-ups were to launch an investigation, we'd be dragged into this
mess.”
After all, James hadn't been sentenced yet and was only being temporarily detained.
If he died, everyone would undoubtedly have to face dire consequences.
The prison guard with the whip nodded. “Fine. Drag him back.”
Having received the order, two of his subordinates rushed out and dragged a snow-covered James back to his cell.
By then, James was already cold as ice, and his breathing was short and shallow.
“Oh, dear! He's running a fever!” one of the guards shouted. “Boss, let's get the prison doctor to attend to him!”
“What a hassle! Get the doctor over here!”
“Okay, okay!”
Unfortunately, James had already passed out, and his entire body was as hot as a furnace.
The doctor arrived swiftly, giving him a thorough examination and the necessary treatment.
After applying ointment to his wounds, feeding him some fever-reducing pills, and leaving behind some additional
medication, he finally left.
Meanwhile, a car slowly pulled up to the entrance of the prison.
Within seconds, several attractive young men and women exited the car and strode into the compound.

in a corner.
“Don't worry, Mrs. Taylor. I've already taught him a lesson as per your instruction. So... Can you secure a spot for
my daughter at the film academy this year? Ah! Yes. Thank you, Mrs. Taylor. Thank you.”
When he saw the young men and women approaching him, he immediately hung up the phone and sneered at
them.
“Who are you?”
Without skipping a beat, Joseph presented the documents and credentials he had prepared beforehand to the
prison guard. “This is the necessary paperwork for a prison visit.”
Upon seeing James' name, the latter couldn't help but furrow his brows.
D*mn it. James is still unconscious. I can't let outsiders know about it...
“I'm sorry, but suspects awaiting trial aren't allowed to receive visitors,” he scoffed. “Unless it's their lawyer, no one
is allowed to see them.”
“Is that so?” Ashlyn replied with an arched brow, her face stern as she stared at the smug-looking prison guard.
