Chapter 528: Betray Him
Liam now stood up for his final battle and picked up the doc.u.ments that would be the final nail in Bill's coffin. He looked at Bill and asked him, "Can you tell me the sources of the wealth that you have Mr. Bill Grey? According to the papers that you submitted before elections, the wealth that you have declared is far less than what you actually have."
Then Liam turned towards the judge and handed him some doc.u.ments.
"Here are the lists of all his unaccounted wealth and corroborating evidence that prove that he is the owner of everything listed. Also, attached along are the doc.u.ments that show how he had gained all of this wealth.
This person, who was aspiring to be the President of the country was involved in the international underworld, the mafia group actively involved in terrorist activities in our country has their base in the company run by Mr. Bill Grey. The doc.u.ments clearly show how Mr. Bill had been colluding with that gang to bring unrest in the country and the gang members helped in kidnapping the businessmen and extort money from them."
Liam continued, "Your Honour, this is just the tip of the iceberg, as you can see in these doc.u.ments, he had been involved in money laundering, many fake funding schemes, cheating people of crores and destroying the economy.
Also the doc.u.ments clearly prove that Mr. Bill is also a partner with those involved in the fake currency scam. All that I stated has been corroborated with proof, presented before you, your honour and I want to attract the attention of the court to this person and with all my might emphasize, that such a person should be severely punished with every accomplice who had been working for and under him."
Liam concluded his speech and sat down with a satisfied heart as he knew that the proof given by the military and all the other witnesses were enough to put him behind the bars.
Liam then looked towards Kyle who was sitting with his head low. He looked deep in thought and Liam wondered if Kyle would try to bring forward some fake things to save that man.
Kyle stood up and went to Bill Grey. He bent down and whispered in his ears, "Did you really do this all? Should you not have told me earlier about all your deeds to let me prepare beforehand for everything and do what I could. How do I manage this situation right now? You have really played me again."
Bill Grey looked at him with a solemn gaze and said, in almost a begging tone, "Son, I am really sorry for hiding things from you. You know I was lost and went on a 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.
Then he turned to face the judge and said, "Your honour, my client is denying all the charges levelled on him by the prosecution lawyer."
He then looked at Lana and saw how disappointed she was when she looked at him. He knew how much she had suffered when her mother was killed and she lived alone for so long trying to sober up her heart, but the pain of her mother's death could never be extinguished.
He smiled bitterly thinking how he had betrayed her and was fooled by Gracy into thinking bad about Lana. He knew he had been wrong then and also realized how much Lana would be hurting seeing that the culprits behind her mother's death were being defended by him.
Kyle sighed deeply and closed his eyes forcing himself to keep the sanity of his mind and do what he was supposed to do.
He gave a last look at his father and the turned to the judge and said, "Your honour, though my client is in denial but looking at all the proof and knowing the true nature of Mr. Bill, I am certain that the evidence produced in the court are all true and that Mr. Bill Grey is not innocent.
I know resting the case from my side and pleading guilty could raise many questions, but as a citizen of this country I also have some duties towards my land. I can surely defend a criminal and try to save him if his crime is something minimal and he wants to turn over a new leaf, but unfortunately Mr. Bill Grey is a habitual criminal who had never worried about anyone, even his family, when it came to money and power.
He tricked Mr Jorge, when he was just a small child, and usurped all his property after his parents died. Had Mr. Ram Sy not taken care of him like his own son, he would have lived a horrible life."
Kyle took a deep breath and continued, "Sir, Mr. Bill Grey is widely known as a ruthless and heartless man and can stoop down to any level just to make money and gain control over people and power.
He keeps on denying the charges of extortion and kidnapping, but here are some evidences that prove Mr. Bill Grey was in direct contact of all those kidnappers who abducted the businessmen and as well as the kidnappers of Mrs. Huang and Ms. Luo, the event that ended in the killing of Mrs. Ana Huang by the psychotic kidnapper."
Kyle took a few steps forward and handed some call records to the judge that were enough to prove his statements. Bill Grey was bewildered when he heard everything that Kyle said and at that moment, he wanted to kill his son who didn't care for his biological father at all.
He knew Kyle had never liked him and had always wanted to stay away from his dark and evil world but he still thought that someday he would give in to the charm of money and power. Bill had never in his wildest dreams thought that Kyle would betray him in the end and had been by his side not to fight for him but only to collect proof against him and get him sentenced.
