The Law of Attraction

Chapter 567: Just And Right

[Note: Unwritten scene -- part of Chapters 526 to 528]

The day that Kyle hoped to never come finally came. It was the day of his father's trial. After careful thought and self debate, he finally made a very hard decision in his life, that is to represent his father at court.

He heaved a long sigh as he took long steps towards the courtroom. He could feel his own hands shivering when he opened the door and entered.

"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." he heard the judge ask his father.

Kyle immediately walked towards his father and he could feel that all eyes were on him. But he couldn't care less about others except for one pair of beautiful eyes… Lana.

Kyle came near Lana and looked at her with a hint of guilt in his eyes. He was feeling guilty towards Lana because he had failed to clarify many things such as his connection to Gracy and most especially, Bill Grey.

He didn't know what to say to her upon seeing her questioning eyes. All he could do was to utter a few words in front of her.

"Lana, I am helpless. I have to do this. I… he is my…" he stuttered and once again he couldn't gather enough courage to explain why he was the defending lawyer.

The judge called him and the trial soon resumed...

Kyle looked at Bill with complex emotions and took his designated seat before Liam stood up to present the case in front of the judge.

When it was his turn to question the witnesses, he was still feeling conflicted, it was at this time he felt his father's hand on his arm as he whispered, "You can do it, son!"

Those words managed to sway him so he questioned the witnesses back, favoring things to his father.

Liam stood up as he looked at Kyle with raised eyebrows and said, "My next witness is Ms. Lana Huang, the woman who was kidnapped and whose mother was killed by the fiance of Mr. Bill Grey, Ms. Grace Go."

Lana took a deep breath and went to stand in the witness box. When Liam asked her a few questions she answered them all honestly. As she recalled that terrifying day, tears ran down her eyes.

Kyle didn't stand up to cross-question Lana but he was filled with complex emotions because knew that today he was going to hurt a lot of people. He didn't really care about most of them except for a few people whom he genuinely wanted in his life and Lana was one of them.

He believed his father when he vowed that he was not aware of Gracy's plan for Mrs. Huang. He checked everything and everything pointed towards Gracy including the men involved.

So without hesitation, he decided to blame it on Gracy and make her the target because she was the one holding a grudge against Lana. He himself almost ended up becoming a pawn in her revenge due to her brainwashing and manipulation.

Kyle stood up and pointed towards Gracy and said, "Ms. Gracy Go is the real culprit behind this plan and murder, Your Honour. My client Mr. Bill Grey was completely unaware of her plans. Gracy Go has already been proven guilty of committing this crime and my client is unfairly being blamed in this matter.

He was honey-trapped by this woman so that he would let her order his men around. She was also given money to splurge on shopping but she used it to hire henchmen to kidnap and kill people."

"Kyle!! Why are you betraying me like this? What harm did I do to you? Your Honour, Bill Grey is not innocent. He was the one who planned and kidnapped all those businessmen kidnapped to collect money and use it during the elections.

The people I used were all his personal henchmen. I didn't hire anyone from anywhere. He is a ruthless killer and extortionist, don't spare him… don't spare him...."

It was true that she was the one who mobilized everything but Bill was definitely aware of the plan!

The policemen restrained Gracy and didn't allow her to speak further. She sat down crying over her misfortune as her hatred for Lana increased by leaps and bounds.

The trial for Bill Grey continued and Liam, as Kyle expected, presented enough evidence and witnesses to put his father behind bars.

Kyle sighed. With a heavy heart, he whispered in his father's ears, "Did you really do all this? Don't you know that you should have told me about all your deeds earlier in order for me to prepare for everything beforehand to reduce the damages? How am I supposed to manage this situation right now? You have really played me again."

Bill Grey looked at him with a solemn gaze and pleaded, "Son, I am really sorry for hiding things from you. You know I was lost and went on the wrong path. Please do something and bring me out of this situation now. Everything I have belongs to you. Please do something."

Kyle gave him a complicated look and shook his head in disappointment. His father's eyes were begging him to save him.

Kyle turned to face the judge and said, "Your honor, my client is denying all the charges leveled on him by the prosecution lawyer."

He saw the disappointment in Lana's eyes when their eyes met.

Kyle sighed deeply and closed his eyes forcing himself to keep the sanity of his mind and do what he was supposed to do. While he was struggling, Sarah's words flashed back into his mind.

'Why did I become a lawyer?'

He gave one last look to his father. It was a sad and apologetic look a son would give to his father.

Then he turned to the judge and at the final moment, he decided to do what was just and right.
