Chapter 517: Dig Their Own Graves
Chapter 517: Dig Their Own Graves
The next day Liam went to the detention center to see Bill Grey. The goal was to instill mistrust and seeds of doubt between him and Gracy. He and Lana agreed to use a psychological approach to make sure they could bring justice in one single shot.
Lana was the one who was supposed to meet him but Liam insisted on doing it since he felt responsible for everything. He was the reason why Gracy did those horrible things in the first place...
He waited in the visitor waiting room for Bill Grey. It was not his first time to do things like this but he felt pressured like it was his first time, maybe because this case involved his family… Mom Ana… who was like a mother to him and someone who saved his life without hesitation.
Bill had a mocking grin on his face as he entered the room. His hand was handcuffed and he wore a prisoner's outfit that suited him entirely.
"I'm surprised to get a visit from you but I believe I didn't ask for your service…" Bill scorned with a lopsided grin. He was aware Attorney Sy was supporting Troy Chan so he did not know what could be the purpose of his visit.
'Surely it was not to offer his service right?'
Liam was emotionless as he plainly commented, "Don't flatter yourself. I did not become a lawyer to defend criminals."
Bill's face darkened. "I don't like how you talk! What is it that you want Attorney Sy?"
"I wanted to see how you are doing here. My wife and I know what you and Gracy did… We know that you two planned the kidnapping of my mother-in-law, Mrs. Ana Huang." Liam started.
Bill's eyebrows collided so Liam cleared, "Mrs. Huang, the one that you had kidnapped a year ago for ransom using an escaped prisoner Martin Smith… I guess you can't recall it given the enormous amount of crimes that you have already committed."
Bill finally recalled what Liam was talking about but it was Gracy who handled that operation saying that she wanted to be his equal partner, a woman who could assist him with both the business and the underworld dealings.
"I don't know what you're talking about…" Bill denied Liam's allegations.
'So that woman was Liam Sy's mother-in-law?' Bill mused.
Liam shook his head. As he and Lana suspected, Bill was not aware of Gracy's intentions and her so-called revenge but he was making sure to please Gracy by giving her whatever she wanted. As Lana thought, they could use this as an opportunity to sow discord between the couple and separate them.
"I guess you don't have enough details about Gracy's background… She and I practically grew up together and we had a very good understanding until she left the country to pursue her dreams. But once her father died,? she returned back to the country,? also hoping to return back to me…"
Bill chuckled and commented, "What's this? Did you come here to tell me some old love story?"
"I guess Gracy used you well… Aren't you curious at all why Gracy would choose Mrs. Huang above all others to kidnap? She can't get over me and the fact that I chose Lana over her so she used you to mess with my wife big time.? First, blaming Rio Tang's suicide on Lana then the kidnapping of Lana's mother by using Lana's father in prison.
How does it feel to know that you would be spending the rest of your time here in prison? We will also file a case against you for kidnapping and murder Bill. Gracy is already aware of it since my wife let her know when she met her. I bet she is very busy saving herself from lifetime imprisonment…
What do you think she would be willing to do in order to save her own ass off Bill?" Liam nonchalantly commented.
Bill's eyebrows lifted up as he said, "I'm done talking to you. I wish to go back now. I can see what you are doing and I'm telling you this talk is pointless… you will not get anything from me..."
"I expected that," Liam replied as he first stood up.
"It's always nice seeing criminals behind bars…" Liam taunted with a straight face as he turned around and left.
Bill's entire body was shaking in anger. He could tell what Liam was implying… Liam was indirectly telling him that Gracy might testify against him just to save herself from going to prison.
'Would you really do that to me, Gracy? Betray me?' he mused. The guards assisted him back to his prison cell where Bill helplessly sat on the side of his bed.
He was too occupied with Liam's words. It was like a plague invading his system though his heart was assuring him Gracy would never abandon him no matter what happened.
Gracy totally left him in the dark about her past relationship with Liam. He did not even check on Gracy's background since it did not matter to him. As long as Gracy would be a good woman to him, he was willing to give her everything and make her his queen in return.
"What is this!" he grunted as everything sunk in. He was surprised Gracy suggested the CEO of Zhuang group for the kidnapping and he thought it was merely because Gracy knew most of the rich family since she was part of the upper society.
'So it's because of Liam Sy?! She did all of this because of him?' he fumed as he started questioning Gracy's loyalty towards him. The woman did not even bother to visit him even once after she was released.
Bill fisted his hand and with a clenched jaw started having doubt. He called out for the guard and said, "I need to use a phone… I need to see my lawyer…"
Outside the detention center, Liam smirked recalling the conflicted expression on Bill's face. He believed he did enough to shatter Bill's trust in Gracy and he would eventually check on her.
If Lana was right, then the two would very soon dig their own graves, while trying to save each other's asses.
Betrayal… was always an option for their kind…
He grabbed his mobile phone to inform Drey that he was done meeting Bill. He told them to monitor Bill strictly and make a list of people he would contact and the ones he would meet.
Even his lawyers were being watched thoroughly because he wanted to make sure that they wouldn't miss anything this time, making sure there was no room for any errors or loopholes in achieving justice for their mother.
