Chapter 519: End Lana Huang
Chapter 519: End Lana Huang
Gracy on the other hand drove her car towards the detention center where Bill was held at the moment. She heaved a deep sigh before she got out of her car. Keeping her head high, she walked inside the detention center to visit Bill as requested by Bill himself through his lawyers.
She was actually surprised that Bill suddenly requested for her presence because she thought given the current situation, it would be best for all of them to lay low. So she intentionally did not see Bill ever since she was released from the interrogation of the military to avoid suspicion.
She immediately stood up and hugged Bill tightly as soon as he entered the room.
"Oh, God. I can't wait for you to get out. I can't bear to be without you for too long. How are you doing inside? I'm making sure that everyone is working hard to let you out soon," she spoke without pausing but Bill did not make any comment.
Gracy felt his hands gently pushing her as he attempted to break free from her embrace.
"Sit down. We have a lot to talk about." she heard him command her with his serious tone that she only ever heard whenever he spoke to his men about some serious matter. He had never used this tone of voice on her.
Gracy felt nervous after the sudden coldness she felt in Bill's voice. The first thing that came to her mind was Lana's words that Bill would definitely use her as a scapegoat.
"How come you never visited me even once before I called for you?" Bill casually asked as both of them sat opposite each other.
"I thought it was for the best if I won't see you for a while. I mean we need to…" Gracy halted when Bill signaled her to stop.
He could not even interrogate Gracy about Liam because he was sure that every visitor and every conversation he had were all being recorded. The trial for him would commence soon and being watched 24/7 was a pain in the ass. He inwardly cursed because it was too hard for him to make a move with him being detained strictly like that.
Bill looked around and scorned, "I bet I'm being watched right now. They might even be?recording every conversation."
Gracy gulped and nodded in understanding.
"Tell me… How are you related to Liam?" Bill asked next, trying his best to be safer and use vague words that could not be used against him.
"Liam?" Gracy breathed.
"Yes… Liam Sy. Attorney Liam Sy."
"His father and my father are family friends. My father used to be a shareholder and a chief employee in his firm. You are already aware of it. I even introduced you to the Sy family in the charity event remember? So why are you asking me that?" she asked with a creased forehead. She was confused about why Bill was acting weird with those doubts she could read on his expression.
"Do you love him?" Bill directly asked out of nowhere.
"What? What kind of an absurd question is that? The man is already married, Bill! He is just a family friend!" Gracy burst, making Bill's shoulders drop.
His question was only answerable by a yes and no but Gracy failed to mention the one word he was expecting her to say. He could feel a sharp pain in his heart stabbing him lifeless after hearing her answer… He was too blinded by his love for her and he thought the feeling was mutual but now he had his doubts...
"Hon… Why are you suddenly asking these meaningless questions? We were friends before but you see I'm supporting you whereas the Sy family is supporting Chan. Why are you doubting my feelings toward you? I really love you, baby..." Gracy tried to convince him.
"Are you aware that they are not only pressing charges against me for the kidnapping and killing of Ana Huang but also for acting as an accessory in the escape of Martin Smith?" Bill commented.
"Don't listen to Liam! Don't listen to a word he said. Okay, I admit that we had something before but that was all in the past. You are my present now, the man that I love!" Gracy defended upon realizing what Liam probably told Bill.
Bill heaved a long sigh and he stood up. He looked intently at Gracy and asked, "Come here and hug me…"
Gracy obeyed and hugged him then she felt Bill's breath on her ear as he whispered, "If you really love me Gracy then you know what you have to do. I will make sure that we will be together soon once I get out of here..."
Then he gently pushed her.
"I will go back now... " he said as he turned around and signaled the guard to lead him back to his cell.
Gracy's body was trembling. Bill's words only meant one thing. He wanted her to be a sacrificial lamb because the charges that Lana and Liam filed against him would definitely sentence him to life imprisonment.
'What is this?!' she thought as tears rolled down her cheeks. She stayed in the room for quite some time feeling abandoned.
'Lana is right. Bill will do anything to save his ass first!' she pondered inwardly as her mind started thinking of a way out for herself which she already prepared as a back-up plan.
When she gathered enough strength, she stood up and walked back to her car. Her hand was still trembling as she grabbed her phone in her purse.
"We need to see each other now! I will bring the money so you bring all the documents that I need!" she instructed followed by details of where she would meet the person.
Gracy parked the car in front of the cemetery where her father was buried. She heard a knock on her window so she opened the door so the man could enter.
"Give me the documents first…" she instructed and the man handed her all the things she needed like a passport and more for her new identity. Gracy handed him the bag full of money.
The man opened it and checked...
"I included half of the payment for kidnapping Lana Huang. I will send you the other half along with a bonus once the job is completed… I want you to kidnap her alive so that I can witness how she will be killed… Or I'll?save you the effort and will kill her myself so you just take care of her body!"
"We have already prepared everything and will proceed with the kidnapping tomorrow. The job will be done smoothly so don't worry… You can decide by then how you want to end Lana Huang..." the man answered.
