Chapter 559: Definitely Not Defend A Murderer
[Note: This scene is a part of Chapter 520 and 521]
Another day at Kyle's apartment…
Kyle heaved a long sigh not once but twice while he looked at the documents he gathered pertaining to his father, Bill Grey. He would soon stand in a trial at court.
He was in a predicament because he knew his father was guilty of all the charges against him related to the mess he did before and during the elections. He was trying his best to find something to help him out because all his lawyers had the same conclusion… It was a hopeless case.
His heart was aching because he knew he couldn't help his father. While he was trying to find a way out for his father, his phone suddenly rang making him sigh again when he saw Gracy's name on the screen.
He did not answer it at first knowing that Gracy would nag him about the same thing and ask him to do something to help his father out. The ringing did not stop so Kyle answered it.
"Kyle! Please help me… They are arresting me!" Gracy cried out as soon as he picked up. Kyle had to tell her to calm down for him to understand what she was saying because she was too frantic.
"Alright. I'm coming now!" he said and immediately rushed out of his apartment.
He arrived at the place Gracy informed. It was the cemetery where her father was buried. There were a lot of reporters and the military when he reached and he saw Gracy being dragged inside the military car.
He immediately asked one of the officers' who was in charge and the military police pointed towards Drey. He knew that Drey was one of Lana's closest friends so he quickly approached him.
"What is going on?" he asked.
"Why are you here?" Drey asked him.
"I'm Gracy's friend and legal help…" he explained.
He could see that Drey was shocked when he asked, "Did Lana know?"
"Not yet Drey. Please let me explain everything to her. I have my reasons for doing this. But for now, I need to know why Gracy is being arrested," Kyle asked directly.
Drey heaved a deep sigh and explained the situation to Kyle. They were having a serious conversation when Kyle heard a voice that he knew very well...
"Kyle?" Lana called out.
Kyle turned around and gulped. He had never felt so nervous his entire life. He did not expect to see Lana here.
"What are you doing here?" Lana asked.
Drey who was conversing with Kyle answered, "He's Gracy's lawyer Lana. He wanted to know the situation here and the reason for Gracy's arrest."
"What?!" Lana shouted in shock.
"What is going on Kyle? Why would you defend that murderer?!" Lana yelled at him.
Kyle felt a lump in his throat. This was what he was worried about. He was terrified about Lana finding out his true identity and the real reason why he approached her and Liam.
"I'm sorry Lana but I can't talk right now. I promise that I will explain everything to you and Liam later. But right now I'm here as Gracy's friend and representative…." Kyle spoke nervously.
"Friend!?" Lana hollered.
Kyle looked at Liam silently asking for his help in getting Lana out of here. So Liam pulled Lana and whispered, "Let's get out of here Lana. Reporters will be coming soon…"
Kyle heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Liam pulled Lana out from the place.
"You better explain yourself well to Lana Kyle" Drey commented. He knew Kyle was Lana's paralegal before. That was the reason he too was shocked to see Kyle here today and asked so many things.
"I will Drey, but trust me when I say this, I don't have anything against Lana nor will I do anything to harm her. I'm just here to represent a friend who now has nothing… Gracy has treated me well before and this is the only thing I can do for her to return the favor because everyone else refused to help her." Kyle commented with a heavy heart.
He felt like he had a thorn in his heart but he knew that he had to do this and be with Gracy and Bill Grey until the end.
"That Gracy wanted to kill Lana, Kyle! And we have all the evidence against her!" Drey almost yelled.
"What?!" Kyle gasped. Drey told him everything he needed to know and Kyle could not even lift a finger.
"So tell me? Are you really going to be that murderer's lawyer?!" Drey questioned.
"Hell no!" Kyle answered.
He felt so weak right now. Lana's look when she found out that he had a connection with Gracy was still very vivid in his eyes.
"She must be thinking that I betrayed her…" he subconsciously whispered.
"Didn't you betray her?" Drey commented as he shook his head. Kyle's face was too pale.
"You better talk to Lana now and clear things up with her. Explain to her what's really going on instead of keeping quiet Kyle," Drey advised.
"I will Drey, but I would still like to see Gracy first. Tell me where your men will bring her," Kyle said. He wanted to see Gracy as soon as possible. He was fuming in anger and wanted to know why she wanted to kill Lana!
Kyle went to see her as soon as Drey told him the address of the detention center where his men would bring Gracy. Soon he reached the detention center and met with her. Gracy started arguing as soon as Kyle started questioning her about her deeds.
He shook his head and said, "I can't help you out of this Gracy. You committed these crimes so you must face the consequences for your actions. It will be a lot easier for you if you just confess to everything… at least your sentence won't be life imprisonment."
He was very furious. Gracy still denied confessing to all her crimes and insisted that she was innocent. He was not aware that Gracy would stoop this low but he decided that he would definitely not defend a murderer like her!!!
