way. They have way too much money and way too much
power in their hands. Christian’s father is a well-known,
albeit, corrupt lawyer. He knows how to go around the law
and how to get it in his and his son’s favor. That’s what he
did before. The judge that handled your case? That was his
best friend. These people, they run in the same circle, Lila.
There was no way you would have won your case.”
“I know,” I whispered. “But then, what’s the point in
trying to reopen the case? We’d just lose. Again. Maddox
wasted his time.”
Grayson shook his head, giving me a smile full of
secrets. “What do you think he has been doing the last
eight months?”
I opened my mouth, but found myself wordless. I didn’t
know what to do with this news. Maddox hadn’t told me
anything about this.
When I found out about Christian… he never said
anything about reopening my case.
He never said anything about fighting for… me.
“Maddox spent two months, trying to convince my father
to work with him on this case. Then, he spent another three
weeks, trying to find the best and most trustworthy lawyer.
After all that? We needed proof. We needed a reason to
reopen the case. Rolland Carmichael covered his tracks
very well. It was almost impossible to gather the proof we
needed. It took us months… and months of carefully
extracting all the information. And now, we have a solid
case.”
Grayson nudged the file in front of me. “This is
everything. The driver who took the blame? He’s ready to
speak in court. The cops that were on scene… Christian’s
friends who saw him drunk that night and getting into the
driver’s seat. Oh, and the security camera. You can do a lot
when you have lots of money at your disposal. Maddox
threw some cash at some people… and the job was done.”
I didn’t dare touch the file, too scared it’d burn me alive.
