Chapter 133: Trust No One

Liam and Lana entered the courtroom together.

"Sit here," Liam told Lana, and he signaled her to sit on the seat beside him.

The policemen escorted Gale inside the courtroom. She sat on the seat beside Liam. Lana noticed Gale's nervous and pale face as she entered the courtroom.

'Who wouldn't be afraid?' Lana mused because she herself thought it was a hopeless case and Gale knew if she couldn't get some strong evidence in her favour, she could be sentenced to very harsh punishments as well.

Lana then turned to look at Liam. Gale was his first love. She wondered if Liam still felt something towards her. She had heard that feelings for your first love never dies.

Her mind was filled with a lot of never asked questions like, 'Do you still love her somehow? Is that why you wanted to prove her innocent so badly?' But she thought it would be better to keep it all in right now. Maybe later she would ask Liam about it.

'And why do you want to know all that? What is it to you? Just how does it matter if he still loved her?' A voice inside her head reprimanded, and she snapped out of another attempt of her heart, trying to sabotage the decisions of her mind.

She came back to her sanity and heard Liam's voice, talking softly and gently to Gale.

"Relax and be firm on your statement about what you remember happened. If you want justice, fight for it Gale. Gilbert's lawyer will crush you at the stand if you will show any ounce of weakness, so you must not stutter when you put your side of the story and are being cross questioned by him." Lana heard Liam was encouraging Gale to be confident and speak the truth with no hesitation.

"Don't worry, I will. I won't let anything be in vain," Gale answered.

Lana could see the determination in her eyes, the strength a woman could acc.u.mulate in fighting for her life and for her love.

Gale had lost her love, but she would still fight for the justice she wanted to give the real culprits, and that was one thing that Liam had succeeded in injecting into her.

'He really knows her too well…' Lana mused.

"All rise…" The speaker announced the entrance of the judge. Lana smiled, seeing one of the honorable judges she looked highly upon too. Gale was at least lucky in this regard, since that judge was someone who could not be bought when it comes to delivering justice. Now everything would depend on how Liam would be able to prove her innocence.

The trial began soon after the judge took his chair and saw the case lined in the court for that time. A lot of time was given to the high profile murder case which looked like an open-and-shut case to some. But ever since Liam stepped in to save Gale, public opinions had also started to shift due to his excellent reputation in the legal field.

Lana watched every step carefully, taking notes as well, especially when it was already the other party's turn to question the witnesses.

Soon after the trial ended for the day, Liam took permission to talk to Gale in private. Lana heard that and made an excuse to leave from the scene to give some space to them and leave the two alone for a good talk.

"Stay here. You must hear what we're going to talk about, Lana." Liam instructed when he noticed how eager she was to assume things between them, so Lana stayed.

Gale smiled at Lana, then shook her head as she looked at Liam.

"I am not expecting anything but in case I will escape this injustice, Liam with your help, then I will be at your mercy and I will surely pay the debt any way you would want me to. I will owe you for this." Gale remarked with a satisfied smile. She was seeing a bright light because of how Liam was handling her case.

"We'll talk about that Gale once we prove your innocence so don't mention it now." Liam casually replied as he began talking more about the additional evidence they found.

Lana was also sitting there listening to their conversation, but she was not at all focussed on the topic at hand. She was unconsciously observing the interactions between Liam and Gale. She did not know what it was, but Liam interacted differently with Gale, compared to other women like Gracy.

She could not exactly point her finger at what it was, though. But despite the coldness, she knew Liam truly cared for Gale.

'What the heck, Lana! Focus on the topic at hand so you can learn more from the best lawyer in your country!' her inner self scolded. She cursed silently for not being focused.

Liam then warned Gale about the real intentions of Gilbert's uncle.

"But uncle Frank… It can't be. He's too nice, and he's the only one supporting me and Gilbert all throughout our relationship, despite the oppression in our relationship from Gilbert's parents." Gale was confused because Liam's words had meaning, though he indirectly said that it was uncle Frank who he was suspecting was responsible for everything.

"He even visits me a lot in the prison, and he believes in my innocence also. He wanted to help me find the real murderer of Gilbert. There's no reason at all for him to kill Gilbert!" Gale burst because of all people. Uncle Frank would be the last one she could think of as the one to be responsible for Gilbert's death.

Gilbert himself told her so many times that uncle Frank was even more than a father for him who had supported him more than his real biological father, so it was too impossible to suspect him.

Lana heard Liam with a heavy sigh of distress, so she looked at Gale and interrupted, "Hmm, Gale, in your situation right now, the most important thing to do is trust no one except Liam regarding this case because only Liam has the capacity to save you. You must tell him everything and not reveal anything to anyone else.

Sometimes we go wrong in judging people, even if they show us only their good sides. You have never lived under one roof with that uncle Frank to say that you know him really well. What I'm trying to say is that you cannot read what is in another person's mind so it's better to take precautions. If you don't want to end up in prison, then trust no one and consider everyone as a possible enemy."

Gale heaved a long sigh. Lana had a point and she should do that in order to save herself. Then she heard Liam again spoke and explained everything to her.

"He's constantly visiting you but make sure you still communicate well like you used to and don't give anything that will make him suspicious.be wise and choose your words carefully whenever you receive any visitors Gale," Liam reminded Gale before the policemen went in to pull her back inside her cell.
