The Law of Attraction
chapter-529

The judge and the audience were stunned for a few moments when they heard and saw everything that Kyle did. The judge went through the call details given, but he was very happy with the way a criminal like Bill Grey would meet his right end.

Liam and Lana were shocked to see the way Kyle turned the case in a few minutes and made everything very easy for the military as well as for Liam.

Kyle on the other hand was still conflicted because he just made a last-minute decision of doing the right thing… All the while he knew his father was in the wrong and his conscience cursed him every minute of the day for fighting the case for the wrong person.

He steeled his heart and forced himself to take this wrong step for his father, the man his mother loved and had him with. But when he saw Lana and recalled how much agony she had been through, he was suddenly jolted back to the fact that Bill Grey might have made many such innocent people suffer to the end.

Somehow the words of Sarah floated in his mind seeing the disappointed look of Lana… 'remember the reason why you became a lawyer...'

And Kyle immediately knew what he should do… and he took out the call records he gathered to go to the depth of the case and exposed Bill Grey instead of saving him.

"You uncouth man, how dare you side with these people and frame me? I am innocent Your Honour, I have not done anything. They are all framing me, they want me to be sentenced and disqualified for the post of President.

Please save me… don't do this with me, Kyle, you must save me…" Bill Grey started shouting, hearing all that Kyle said and did in the courtroom. He became hysterical while shouting.

The policemen came forward to calm him down but had to forcefully drag him out to keep the courtroom silent and maintain the decorum of the court.

The judge soon announced his judgment and sentenced Bill Grey and Gracy to lifetime imprisonment and ordered the police to catch all the accomplices of Bill Grey who were on the loose and file cases on all of them as soon as possible.

The court was adjourned after this and Lana was very happy hearing the decision. She hugged Liam tightly and smiled brightly as tears fell from her eyes. Liam wiped her tears and hugged her again.

Gracy was almost numb when she heard her sentence of lifetime imprisonment and when she saw the happy face of Lana the anger and hatred in her heart knew no limits.

At that moment she was pulled to stand up and was dragged by two policewomen to be taken back to the jail.

Gracy's mind calculated and in a blink of an eye, she suddenly snatched a gun from the policewoman and aimed it at Lana.

Lana and Liam were very much unaware of all that Gracy was doing and they stood there hugging, congratulating each other on the victory of the case.

Kyle heard the commotion and looked in Gracy's direction and the look on her face sent chills down his spine. He understood what Gracy was going to do and he ran towards Lana.

"Lana!!! No!!!" he shouted

!! Bang!!

Gracy shot the gun without any warning, aiming at Lana. A crazy evil smile dancing on her face.

Before the bullet could hit Lana, Kyle approached her and pushed her away from the aim of the bullet.

Lana and Liam were stunned by this unexpected move of Gracy and froze for a few seconds and when Kyle pushed them they staggered and almost fell down.

The bullet did not hit Lana but Kyle could not dodge it in time and get hit in his arm instead of Lana.

Gracy's irritation knew no limits at that time and seeing how Kyle jumped in to save Lana and got hurt, she again aimed the gun at Lana to fulfill her wish.

But Liam was prepared at the moment and he held Lana and ducked and hid behind a table along with her.

!!Bang!! !!Bang!!

They heard a few gunshots the next moment and when everything quieted down Liam stood up to see who was injured to find out that Gracy was lying on the floor, covered with blood. She was shot down by the policemen and several bullets hit her, injuring her gravely.

Before Liam could say anything or approach her, she collapsed and died on the spot. Liam hated her for everything she did to Lana and him, but he still felt bad as she was a good friend once upon a time. Liam's eyes turned misty when he thought how miserably she died.

Lana had also seen what finally happened and her attention was drawn to Kyle who stood with his injured arm, tears welled up in his eyes seeing Gracy's pitiful end.

He couldn't help but think how much low her hatred brought her and even while dying she wished to harm Lana and didn't want to repent for her evil doings.

Lana came to him and said, "Why did you do this Kyle? Are you crazy for jumping in front of me to take the blow?"

"Lana, this is all I could do to show you and Liam that you guys mean a lot to me. I know you hate me for taking up the case of Bill Grey, but I was helpless… he… he is my father… and when he requested me for this I couldn't say no."

"What?" Lana had another shocker of the day when she heard what Kyle told her. And at that moment she understood why Kyle was there at the party, how he managed to help her in the company, and everything else that she was not able to join the dots for.

She then understood what kind of dilemma Kyle would have been at the time of the trial.

"But you chose the right path in the end Kyle, and that is what matters the most." Came the charming voice of Liam from behind Lana and he looked at Kyle with a friendly gesture for the first time.

Everything wrapped up and Kyle was sent for the treatment. Gracy's dead body was sent for postmortem and Bill Grey could not handle the punishment and further investigation.

Finally, Lana and Liam stepped out of the court and took a deep breath feeling relaxed with everything that unfolded, and still, they won so easily.
