The Law of Attraction Chapter 509

Bill Grey remained motionless due to shock for a long time. Zach stepped back and signaled one of his officers who immediately moved forward bringing out his handcuffs and stood in front of Bill Grey. Bill Grey was brought back to reality after he saw those handcuffs. He was so agitated that he started shouting loudly.

“What do you think you are doing?! Who gave you the guts to insult me like this? I am a contestant for Presidency and is this how you’ll treat me? You have no right to arrest me. What are the charges? What proofs do you have?

I know you are doing this because you want to help that Chan win the election. But the public will fight for me! You will all be fired from your jobs! 

You cannot arrest me. I have not committed any crime.”

Bill Grey kept on shouting and became hysterical until finally, a few soldiers had to step in to subdue and handcuff him. As he was being handcuffed Gracy was coming down the stairs as told by Bill Grey. 

She was in a very happy mood when she got ready and even put on exquisite makeup to look good in front of the camera if there were any! She smiled so widely that it reached both her ears. She was thinking of her future plans and ways to suppress Lana after becoming the first lady of the country while stepping down the stairs.

Her happy expression faltered a little when she heard Bill’s enraged voice. It was not until she reached down that she realized what the actual situation was. She was instantly filled with fear and disbelief when she saw the entire scene of Bill getting arrested.

Her smile immediately froze, happiness from her face vanished, replacing it with dread as her face paled. She felt as if her blood had been drained from her body. 

A cold shiver ran down her spine and she was so afraid that she immediately felt a little dizzy with the sudden rush of panic in her body. She staggered and though she knew that the military was not there for the protocol, she was still trying to think of a way to get herself out of this situation.

She was very well aware of all the underworld connections Bill had and also knew how many evil deeds he had done for the sake of winning this election. She suddenly had an ominous feeling enveloping her and immediately turned to rush back to her room so as to not get caught by the military.

But Zach noticed her and ordered the female soldiers to catch hold of her. Gracy was immediately caught by the soldiers and she almost passed away with fear and shame. They had to hold her tight and make her sit on the sofa to keep her a little stable.

What Gracy was most worried about was that if they had found some evidence against her as well. She was worried that she would get exposed! What would she do if they found out about her involvement in Lana’s mother’s case! Gracy was a cunning and selfish woman… In her entire life, she had put herself first and lived for her own interest. 

Even at that moment she was not regretting what she had done but was instead hoping to get away from all the problems by abandoning Bill Grey and saying she knew nothing about his businesses.

Zach ordered his entire team to split up and arrest and interrogate everyone who was present inside the premises of the mansion.

That morning everything happened very smoothly and they ended up arresting more than fifteen people, who were accomplices in the underground business of Bill Grey including Gracy.

Gracy was trying to maintain her behaviour and was acting a little arrogantly with the authorities even though she was panicking on the inside. It was not long before she lost her cool and started shouting and accusing. 

She internally blamed Lana for all her misfortunes as she thought everything happened because Lana snatched Liam away from her. 

She even tried to plead for her innocence, but no one listened to her and she was also detained along with others. Gracy was losing her sanity and both she and Bill Grey became berserk by the time they were stuffed in the vehicles and taken away to the detention centre.

The news of Bill Grey’s arrest spread like wildfire in the country and the public was shocked to know about things he had done.

The entire details of his arrest and the reasons behind were covered by a few media houses and the officials also provided them with a few documents which made it clear that he was involved in illegal activities and hence was arrested.

Bill Grey was kept under military hold to get more information from him. Most of his men were handed over to the police and only two of them were detained by the military.

Gracy who was held up in military detention was soon brought over for interrogation. Though she was very afraid and frightened, she didn’t forget to continue portraying herself as innocent and denying all the accusations levied on her.

The officer in charge of her interrogation asked her a few details about how she knew Bill and her relationship with him. In her entire life, she has not seen the face of the police station for anything that she did. 

Gracy was used to living the high and mighty life and had not thought that being with Bill could bring her here someday. Her revenge on Lana was incomplete and she was not prepared to get involved in such a huge scandal at any cost.

When she was interrogated she consistently kept on crying, denying all allegations saying that she wasn’t aware of anything that they all were talking about. She even feigned innocence when Bill’s underworld connections were exposed in front of her and she kept on insisting that she knew nothing about it.

Her tears and constant denial added to the fact that the authorities had no evidence against her, allowed her to go scot-free the very next day after her interrogation.

Gracy took a deep sigh of relief as she reached her own house, the mansion her father had left behind.
