The Law of Attraction

Chapter 162: Won’t Show Any Mercy



Chapter 162: Won’t Show Any Mercy

"Shut up, Gracy!" Liam's loud roar resounded in the living room. Gracy's eyes rounded in shock, hearing Liam's angry, loud voice. Never had she seen Liam so much out of control of his emotions.

His face was red with outrage. Gracy started trembling with an unknown fear seeing this enraged state of Liam.

"What's going on, Liam? Why do you look so mad?" she naively stuttered.

"Do you really want me to specify it to you, Gracy? I will take legal action against you for what happened with Lana last night and that, of course, will stain your reputation badly. Or, because of the relationship I shared with your father, I give you another choice, sell the shares of your father in my company entrusted to you and leave the Vice Chairman position.

Gracy, whenever you tried to interfere I had warned you to not touch my wife at any cost, and yet you did." Liam with a few words chided wryly before standing out on his chair.

"I give you one day to decide what you want to do, Gracy. That's the last mercy I can give you out of respect for your father. I suggest you chose the second option because believe me… Given the career you have… You won't like your name being dragged down mercilessly by me.

And please pack up your things now and go back to your own house. Leave my family alone. If you still have some dignity left in yourself, don't bother my father and siblings with any of your lies because they are not dumb." Liam bellowed before leaving Gracy alone, stupefied.

It took Gracy a while before she could get back on her feet. She felt her world crumble down.

She was furious and surprised to know that he had found out everything. She did everything to make sure there would be no loopholes and in case there would be one, it should fall upon the intern named Lily whom she had instructed to get the paper bags from the reception.

Gracy bit her lip and dashed back to her room to make a call and find out the details.

"What happened? How did Liam find out!" she hissed, raging.

"I don't know Gracy… You tell me? You asked me to fire two of my employees and I did as you said. I helped you as much as I could, and it's not my fault if Liam is more capable of a man than expected. Someone came here as his lawyer and trust me that woman was so unbelievable… She even threatened me without blinking an eye in such a way that I looked like an assailant and not her plu..."

"Who was that woman?" Gracy yelled, cutting her dumbass pawn talking.

"Attorney Luo from your company. Gracy, I kept my part of the bargain and zipped my mouth so I don't know how they came to know everything, okay! You should keep your promise as well!" the man on the other line growled. But instead of answering, Gracy turned off her mobile phone.

She walked back and forth in the corners of her room, thinking about what she should do. Liam had threatened her for consequences, and she saw how serious he was with those blaring eyes. She had never gotten so scared in her entire life until today. But she was not yet ready to give up easily.

How could she tolerate everything so easily and give up on her dream and her life? He even wanted her to sell all her shares and leave forever.

"How dare he remove me from the company my dad put up his trust into!" she burst before slumping helplessly on the floor. She was not left with many choices and if Liam did as he threatened and sued her, her modelling career will be finished. Her career was very important to her. She did not want her name tarnished because she had worked hard for it for years, without a flaw!

Gracy thought to find an escape route through Senior Sy and explain to him her point of view about saving Liam from such a sick woman, so she sought him and found him inside the library, reading a book.

"Uncle…" she whispered.

Senior Sy looked at her and signaled Gracy to sit in front of him before he closed the book.

She knew she could no longer escape the fact that it was her who played that prank on Lana. So she needed bonus points before starting to speak. To get his sympathy before starting the conversation, she started crying as soon as she was seated.

"I'm sorry uncle. All that happened was not right, but believe me, I only did it for Liam to see that it's possible for Lana to inherit her father's mental disorder. I just care too much about him and was worried about Liam's future.

Uncle, I even tried to talk to him about it once, but he brushed me off. He's so blinded with his feelings towards Lana that he completely refuses to see her flaws. So I thought of a way to show him that Lana has a mental disorder, and she has this mental disorder ever since her childhood.

I mean, what happened last night is a strong evidence that she is still unstable and cannot control herself and lose her mind. If you saw how she struggled and shouted alone like a maniac, you will under…"

"Gracy that's enough. I have heard enough. Please stop already before you say any more worst words." Senior Sy cut her off. He looked so disappointed in her and Gracy inwardly cursed but continued to cry as she breathed, "Uncle…"

Senior Sy shook his head. He looked at Gracy intently and said, "Gracy, look at me."

Slouching, Gracy looked at him while she wiped her tears.

"Do you know how proud your father was of you? He often used to brag to me you grew up to be an independent and strong woman with a goal, even though your mother died early. He was so happy to see you succeed in your career and wished to see you successful and later get settled well.

Do you think he would be happy seeing you in the condition you are right now? What you did is not only childish and irresponsible but also malicious. You could have hurt someone because of your irrationality.

While trying to prove yourself a point you forgot that Lana was a victim of violence in her naive childhood. At the age when your parents cradled you in their arms, she was brutally beaten up by her own father every other day.

She survived the murder of her mother and that horror got badly imprinted on her innocent, naive heart. She was terrified, not sick. Gracy you should not judge her because of her biological parents. It's not her fault to have such kind of parents. She suffered a lot so give your sympathy to her not anguish. She is someone that we should understand…

Your ways and what you've done is very disappointing. It only shows how you think low of Liam using such a kind of trick Gracy and you must think we are all dumb and easily deceived, but you're wrong.

We respect your father Gracy but I do hope it will be the last time you do something like this in our family because Lana is a part of our family now. I hope you can reflect on this incident instead of harboring envy and hate. I trust my son and his decision." Senior Sy addressed before rising up in his seat.

"Liam probably talked to you and I hope what everything he said is clear to you. I know my son. He won't show any mercy if someone he loves and gives importance to is being wronged. I will leave first," he added, then left the library.
