Pity that there wasn"t an audience to appreciate it.

For the sake of keeping her ident.i.ty a secret, the courtroom was practically empty.

Clara displayed her excellent acting skills in front of the judge.

She played a perfect victim. She broke down in front of everyone.

When Clara glanced in the direction of Ak, she cowered in fear as if she had no courage to look at him, Clara described the torment she faced.

She succeeded in making herself look pitiful.

All the while he was being charged, Ak didn"t refute anything.

His eyes stared Clara all the time; however, he didn"t find a tinge of guilt or embarra.s.sment.

Ak closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He had accepted the situation already. His stare made her flinch for a second, yet that only came across as fear of the victim.

His calmness was beyond her imagination. She had expected to hear at least some accusation or sadness.

With no one on his side to support him, all his explanations were a lost cause.

All evidence was against him, the medical records, the hotel CCTV footage and the pill bottle which surprisingly had his fingerprint on it.

The judge was a female. She held empathy for Clara and contempt against Ak.

Clara won the case easily.

The court handed down a guilty verdict against Ak Jain.

He was condemned to prison for 12 years on charges of repeated **** and bodily harm. Since the victim tried to commit suicide, the sentence was increased.

-----

A group of reporters swarmed around Mr.Jain outside of the Jain Company.

"Mr. Jain what do you have to say about your grandson being acquited for the crimes by the court."

He never held an ounce of attachment to Ak Jain because his daughter, Ak"s mother bought shame to him.

However, in front of society and for the sake his image he adopted Ak Jain, fed him, provided him a roof.

Now He was trying to bit the hand that fed him.

So unfilial...

He let Ak and the world believe that he can compete for the heir position, just showing his righteousness.

Now when he got convicted by the court to prison for many years, Mr. Jain felt no remorse.

"I have no such grandson," h, said in an emotionless tone.

Soon his bodyguards withdrew him from the crowd safely to the car.

****

The Man who was stood top of the ladder last life was now rotting in prison.

The world forgot him soon.

A few months later, Mr. Jain died of a stroke naturally. At the time Ak was in prison, so his death probably had nothing to do with Ak.

Rk inherited the business, however with the death of Mr. Jain the shares dropped and the company plumented heavy loss.

Giving the power of attorney of Jain Group to his maternal family, Rk who could not handle all this, took all the money he can and left the country.

He bought a private island far from the country and enjoyed life there.

Maybe that"s what he did the past life.

The compet.i.tors crushed the Company which was on the peak of Glory.

Jain Group lost all the fame which took generations to build on.

A family who held power and control firmly in their hand became unknown in a few years.
