Chapter 526: I am Helpless
Liam produced the evidence showing Gracy being with Bill Grey and using her status of being his fiance to bully people she disliked. He also produced some witnesses who described how she threatened them and made them do things to please her.
Her lawyer also cross-questioned the witnesses but could not do anything to help her. With every new witness coming in to testify against her, Gracy felt her knees go weak and knew that she had lost the battle already.
The day she had hooked up with Bill she thought she would be able to win against that b*tch, never did she even dream that there would be a day like this day in her life.
As her trial proceeded Liam produced the videos of Gracy talking to Bill's men and asking the details of certain things that she had asked them to do.
The defending lawyer was at a loss for words as Liam pushed him to a corner when he submitted and showed the video of Gracy talking to a henchman, asking him to kidnap Lana. She even said that she wanted to kill Lana with her own hands.
Gracy's lawyer was completely tongue-tied and shook his head knowing what was coming up. Liam put the last nail in the coffin when he produced the henchman and the details of the fake identity Gracy had created to flee the country.
Gracy burst into tears as she knew there is no escape for her now. Had it been Bill's case she could have feigned innocence and saved herself but now this was about her attempt to murder and kidnapping cases.
She couldn't believe she was proven guilty so easily and that all the witnesses were against her. She had no support, it was the first time in her life that she felt so lonely and in need of a friend, a shoulder to cry upon… but she had none… no friends as she sacrificed all her friendships for her ego and anger.
The judge heard the entire case and reserved his decision for Gracy as she was also involved in Bill's case. Bill's lawyer had named her as the culprit for most of the charges against him.
"The judgment, in this case, is very clear, but given the special condition where the culprit is also an accused in the case related to Bill Grey, her actual punishment may change and so her punishment will be decided after the trial of Bill Grey." The judge ended the court with his statement and left the courtroom.
Gracy was totally broken and was wailing, but the irony was there was no one by her side to comfort her or even say a single word of sympathy. She had lost everything and everyone...
Policewomen pulled up the crying Gracy and took her back to the jail. As Liam watched her going away, his heart filled with mixed feelings of hatred, resentment, and a little sympathy. A star of yesterday had turned into the scum of society because of making the wrong choices and not even repenting for their mistakes!
After a few days, Bill Grey's case was also produced in the court. Liam had prepared very well for the case with the help of the secret information they received from the military spies and his team had also called some witnesses who were the victims of Bill Grey's fraud and threats.
On the day of his trial, he was brought to court. The court was guarded heavily by the police and also some special soldiers as they feared that his men may try to create a nuisance in the court.
Not soon after him, Gracy was also brought there, and as they saw each other Gracy's eyes teared up. She thought Bill might help her when the trial will take place so her hope started building up a little.
When their case number was called, they were both brought to the courtroom. As soon as Gracy saw that Liam was the lawyer representing the military to fight the case she knew Bill would never be able to win. Liam had never lost a case before!
'Bill, you can never win this case if Liam is fighting against you.' Gracy thought in her mind.
As the judge came and took his seat he saw that Bill's lawyer was not there.
"Mr. Bill Grey, the charges pressed against you are very grave so if you do not have any lawyer to defend yourself then the court can appoint one for you." The judge spoke.
Bill shook his head and said in a confident voice, "My lawyer will soon be here your honor. I am sure he will not ditch me during this difficult hour."
As soon as Bill said this a tall figure appeared from the door of the courtroom. When Lana saw him she couldn't believe her eyes for a few seconds. She stared at him in disbelief and then looked at Liam who was also a little confused but was not as shocked as Lana was.
Liam had somehow expected to see Kyle in the court today but he never expected him to be the defending lawyer of Bill Grey.
Kyle came near Lana and looked at her with a hint of guilt in his eyes and Lana could only stare at him with wide eyes filled with contempt. Kyle didn't know what to say to her and all he could utter was a few words in front of her.
"Lana, I am helpless. I have to do this. I… he is my…" Kyle stuttered and couldn't gather enough courage to explain why he had to be the defending lawyer.
Lana shook her head and sighed, "Kyle, I know you must have your own reasons for choosing to defend him. But why did I never see this side of your's when you were working with me? Are you doing it all for money? If not money then why!??"
Kyle hung his head down as he didn't know how to tell the truth to Lana or to anyone else for that matter.
