The Law of Attraction

Gracy's face crumpled as soon as she heard those words. Lana was glaring deeply at her. Her gaze was so piercing that she could feel her upcoming doom.

Her eyes shifted to Lana's hand and she could see how tightly Lana was gripping the knife.

'Is she going to attack me right here?' she could not help but think scaredly.

She gulped but immediately composed herself and forced a smile towards Lana as she naively asked, "What are you talking about? I don't understand what you're saying."

As she had guessed, there was only one reason for Lana to invite her for a meal like this. They have already figured out her involvement in the incident a year ago.

'Keep your cool Gracy. They don't have any evidence against you…'

She made sure that all evidence pertaining to her involvement was either untraceable or destroyed. She even had Bill check it several times.

A lopsided grin formed on Lana's dark face as she continued, "Tell me, Gracy. How do you feel now whenever you see me? I bet you're annoyed, angry, and hate my mere existence right?"

Gracy did not comment and pursed her lips together firmly.

"I can sense your hate and contempt for me even now. You are jealous and envious because Liam chose and loved me over you…"

"You stole him from me!!! Liam doesn't deserve you! You're a murderer's daughter!" Gracy barked as her emotions took over.

Lana's lips remained curved as she continued, "Liam is not a toy or a property to get stolen or snatched. He is his own person who has the right to choose for himself. You have no right to accuse me of stealing him as he was never YOURS in the first place. Now that I think about it…

No wonder you framed me up for Rio Tang's death. Fabricating those lame videos and trying so hard to put the blame on me for her suicide. It was all because a little girl couldn't accept the fact that she wasn't chosen. She kept throwing a tantrum hoping she would get noticed.."

"Shut up! You b*tch! I don't know what you're talking about!" Gracy yelled with gritted teeth. She could tell that Lana was provoking her but she would not let that b*tch win!

"I really pity you, Gracy… Because of your meaningless jealousy and envy over me, you took every opportunity you could to torture and torment me, and yet Liam is still with me. You're so pitiful but you don't even deserve to be pitied, Gracy…

You are saying that I'm a murderer's daughter? Why not take a look at yourself in the mirror? You manipulated everyone, first by using Bill and then my father… You're the murderer Gracy. You killed my mother…"

Gracy laughed and with a sharp glare declared, "You're a lawyer so you're well aware that what you're doing is wrong right? You're practically guessing and trying to pin the crimes on me? I can't believe this! Is this why you invited me to a meal? To interrogate me with your baseless claims? Accusing me like this is not right!"

"You're busted, Gracy… We know that you planned it all… You helped my father to escaped prison. All those fires and fabricating his death… You and Bill are behind it. No wonder my father managed to pull everything flawlessly; It was because you and Bill provided him with all the information and network he needed to execute the kidnapping.

We already suspected that a powerful person was helping him behind the scenes as he wouldn't be able to do it all alone by himself. Did you really think that we won't be able to figure it all out? You've been wandering around freely for too long now."

Glowering, Lana smirked and continued, "And yeah, this is the reason I wanted to meet you... I am warning you and officially declaring that I will surely make you pay for what you've done.

And Bill Grey?! Huh… I suggest for you not to see him or we'll never know how the public will interpret it. That man won't be able to save you since he will be very busy saving his own ass. So don't expect to get any protection from that man.

I wouldn't even be surprised if, in the end, he will try to put the blame on you and make you the scapegoat for his crimes too once the trial and case about the kidnapping and my mother's death get opened."

"You're funny Lana. Are you that desperate for the Chan's to win that you're accusing Bill and me of that case? You're crazy!"

Lana gritted her teeth and retorted, "You will not get away this time. I suggest you confess to your crimes and reflect on your sins while you still have that choice… Your father must be crying in heaven right now seeing how his daughter ruined her life and committed so many crimes without conscience.

What a thick face you have to even smile in front of me after everything you did… You probably thought that you already escaped punishment for your crime and that you are a free bird because you didn't get arrested for a year right? Enjoy while it lasts because I will make sure that you are behind bars very soon...."

Gracy burst out in a fit of laughter and Lana already expected that. The woman had no hope at all…

'Hell is where she belongs…' Lana thought angrily, trying to gather enough control to keep her cool.

"Hey, Lana I think I know what you're trying to do… I bet you're even recording me right now right? Do you have a bug here? You know really I'm shocked. I never thought that you can be as entertaining as you are right now. No matter what you're accusing me of I know I'm innocent… I don't even know why you think I would do such a thing. I will let it pass for now but if you happen to slander my name once more with those accusations of yours then I will sue you!"

Eyes bored at Gracy, Lana condemned, "Even if I'm recording you right now, I bet a woman with no conscience like you will not admit it and just feign innocence. You better not flee the country and wait for your warrant of arrest Ms. Gracy Go. If you think that I don't have any evidence against you then you are wrong... very wrong…"

Lana stood up and said, "I will be leaving first… I already said what I have to say. I will see you again… behind bars and in court soon…Please enjoy your meal"

Gracy's jaw clenched as she glared at Lana's back leaving out on the door. Her hand trembled when she held them together. She wouldn't end up in jail. Lana was only threatening her as she didn't have any evidence.

Gracy grabbed her mobile phone to quickly dial a number but then she realized it was not safe to talk inside this room because there could be bugs and hidden cameras given how Lana was part of the military before. She would have connections to gain such high tech devices from the military so she quickly stood up to go to her car.
