MISTAKE 192

Chapter 192: Janet meets Stella again.

"When I'm done hunting down the ones responsible," he said, his voice as cold as ice, "TI be coming for you. And your entire family."

With that, James turned and strode out of the rod, leaving behind a terrified Old Madam Jones, her frail body wracked with tremors as she realized the true depths of her betrayal.

As James emerged from the ward, one of his men approached him, a grim expression on his face. "Sir, we've found her," the man said, "We've located Stella."

James felt a surge of both relief and determination. "Then what are we waiting for?" he said, his voice laced with purpose. "Let's bring her home."

The hospital corridors were eerily silent as Janet Grey strode through them, her heels clicking against the linoleum floors. Her eyes were narrowed with purpose as she approached the room where she knew Stella was recovering.

As she neared the door, she was met by a pair of burly guards standing watch. Janet paused, her gaze hardening. "I need to speak with Stella," she demanded, her voice laced with authority.

The guards remained impassive, not budging an inch. "We have orders to keep this room secure," one of them said gruffly. "No one goes in without Stella's permission."

Janet's lips thinned into a tight line. "I am her mother-in-law. You will let me pass," she insisted.

But the guards showed no signs of relenting. "Ma'am, we can't allow that. We need to clear it with Stella first."

Frustration flickered across Janet's face, but she quickly composed herself. Turning on her heel, she pushed open the door and strode into the room, ignoring the guards' protests. Stella looked up, her eyes widening in surprise. "Janet?" she said, her voice laced with ant of

Janet's gaze swept over Stella, her expression unreadable. "Hello, Stella," she said coolly. "It's been a long time."
