The Law of Attraction
chapter-193

Liam had gathered enough evidence against Doug in the past few days and so he decided to go and see Gale and open up the course of research to her. As Lana was busy with her work, he went alone to visit Gale at the detention center after dropping off Lana to the university.

When Gale entered the meeting room, Liam noticed that her face was looking brighter compared to the last time when he saw her. She had even gained some weight and her face had a layer of hope pasted on it. When she sat down opposite to him, he noticed that the horrible dark circles under her eyes present when he met her last few times were also very lightened and that meant that she was able to get some sleep for the past few days.

"You look much better today Gale than last I saw you, and that's good to see," he commented as soon as Gale looked into his eyes.

Gale smiled and said, "yeah… I'm able to sleep properly now."

Gale did not put it into words but she was able to put her heart at peace because she saw a ray of light coming towards her, as Liam had assured her to find the real culprit and win her case. She was also very touched to find out how Liam and Lana had gone to lengths to help her out.

Gale then gave a closer look to Liam and noticed that Liam looked in high spirits and was in a good mood so she added, "You look good too. You can now even smile in front of me."

Liam then chuckled and replied, "yeah. I guess." Somehow Liam suddenly realised that all his bitter feelings towards Gale and any kind of hatred that he had harboured in his heart against her was all gone ever since Lana had accepted their relationship.

"I heard someone say that it's not really time that heals all wounds but it is actually love… I am happy for you Liam…" Gale uttered.

Liam understood what she meant and nodded. Then he proceeded to discuss with Gale about his investigations and where it was all going. He asked Gale about any quarrel or disagreements between Gilbert and his uncle.

"Ohh… Yeah I remember once, uncle Frank and Gilbert had a small heated argument about his gambling habits, but the both of them reconciled very soon and everything came back to normal just as it always was." Gale narrated.

Liam then showed her the evidence that he had collected and how he had hired people to kill Gilbert. He then said to her, "He used his second name Doug most of the time while dealing with the underworld." Liam commented because most of the people he transacted with illegally, knew him as Doug and not Frank.

Liam's links in all the stratas of the society were unparallelled and that was the reason he was able to find out so many minute details about him and was able to trace everything and reach the culprit.

Gale's face turned pale as Liam gave her piece by piece information on how he and Lana connected the dots and collected all the concrete evidence.

"Oh God! Gilbert always treated him like his own father because he was the only relative he had by his side after Gilbert's mother died. Gilbert loved him so much and trusted him for everything. How could he!!! Just how could he even have the heart to do all this to him?" Gale burst out crying and tears fell from her eyes.

Liam felt very uneasy seeing the grief she was in. He had always seen her happy and laughing when they were together and the sorrow and grief she had encountered in her life was very sad to see for Liam. He sighed and waited for her to calm down a little.

Gale was still not able to believe how such a loving uncle could actually plan a murder and that too on the day of his wedding...She could not just believe it…

"He's so evil and must be severely punished!" Gale grunted, clenching her fist.

"I will make sure he will be punished as severely as possible Gale. I just need to check a few more things so that the police can finally issue an arrest warrant for him." Liam told her.

"Do you have any idea if Gilbert had any life insurance?" Liam asked.

Gale nodded then realized something.

"Gilbert's beneficiary was uncle Frank in all his insurances. He was planning to change it and put my name after the wedding though I told him I really didn't mind how it was. Oh my God…" Gale, once again, cried loudly. She felt her heart was torn into pieces with the pain she was feeling and how pitiful Gilbert ended up because of the greed of his uncle.

He orchestrated everything and made her his scapegoat.

Liam sat there quietly watching Gale with sympathy. He understood how hard it was to lose someone you love so tragically like that. He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to Gale. He brought it intentionally because he knew Gale would cry so hard once she came to know the truth.

"We trusted him so much… especially Gilbert." Gale said, stuttering. Liam waited for her to calm down and patted her back to sooth her a little.

Gale cried a lot and it took her a long time in normalising herself and Liam waited patiently for her to recover from the shock.

Liam left Gale once she was much better and felt bad for her for everything that she had to face. The shock of betrayal was not easy to absorb, and Gale had lost the love of her life, her husband, due to betrayal by the most trusted person of her husband only.

He stood out of the detention centre and heaved a long deep sigh as he started knitting his next steps in his mind.

Liam noticed someone coming towards him and his face suddenly darkened seeing the person approaching him but he quickly relaxed his facial muscles and put on a smile on his face.

"Attorney Sy!" Greeted the man, who was none other than Frank Doug Ming, Gilbert's uncle.
