The Law of Attraction
chapter-482

Lana on the other hand fell in deep thought. If it was indeed Gracy then there was a possibility that she could be involved in the incident a year ago with that monster. Luo and her mother both suffered due to her?

Liam held Lana's hand, noticing how her face darkened. He could tell what Lana was thinking. He heaved a long sigh… The gleeful atmosphere just a while ago had turned eerie at this time.

"I will look into this but in a discreet manner. We can't act rashly especially now that Gracy has a powerful backup," Liam whispered. They needed precise details to know the extent of Gracy's involvement with the underworld.

He was a hundred percent sure that Gracy was involved with the scandal pertaining to Tang's death and connecting it to him and Lana, however, she could not be connected with Lana's father since Lana's father attacked Chelsy separately.

There were a lot of missing pieces that they needed to join to fix the puzzle.

"I am really sorry about this… I hope I was wrong but I saw her clearly that day when she opened her window to give something to that man from the underworld," Chelsy whispered. She almost did not sleep overnight recalling that scene and that Gracy did look the same.

"We have to check everything including Bill Grey. That monster had a powerful person behind him and everything now is coming to light. How he was pronounced dead by was not. The records they burnt in the prison…" Lana whispered. She herself would mobilize anything in her power to dig into it all.

"I will not be convinced that it's just all coincidental," she mumbled with gritted teeth.

Liam heaved a sigh and discussed his plan openly with his family. Everyone engaged keenly as they talked about how to tackle everything one by one.

After some serious talking, Lana felt so weak to even stand up so she remained in the garden while everyone left already. Liam stayed with her and consoled, "We will solve this matter soon…"

They already learned from last time so this time around they should not ignore any single detail even what Chelsy had mentioned. If Gracy was indeed involved then she had to pay for it.

"Bill Grey… Zach is working on him…" Lana whispered because she heard that from Keira.

"I will inform Keira about this thing as well," Lana whispered and Liam agreed because it would be best to get the military's support, from Keira's husband, Zach, knowing they were already looking into reports about Bill Grey.

"I will go to her immediately," Lana informed as she stood up.

"I will come with you," Liam said and held Lana's hand as they walked in to tell their father they were leaving.

At the famous restaurant inside the hotel where the charity event was held last night, Sarah looked at Kyle's hand clutched on hers. She was about to pull it out but Kyle gripped her hand tightly and whispered, "Not yet… They are still looking."

"What the heck?! This is too much!" Sarah complained but Kyle only chuckled, raised his arm and rested it on her shoulders to pull her close to him.

"Nah, this is nothing, sweet girl. Not all men will behave like a gentleman, as I did, by not touching you at all after what you did last night," Kyle restated, making Sarah roll her eyes and curse him in her heart.

If she wanted she could just ignore this man as she was not indebted to anyone for anything, whatever or whoever it was. She always made sure to settle her accounts because she hated being under debt, be it anyone.

She wondered how she fell into this cliche set-up where an unknown man had to introduce her to his acquaintances as his girlfriend.

"What a loser…" she mumbled but the man only chuckled at her annoyed expression.

"I will drop you home…" he offered just as they were in the elevator going to the parking lot. Sarah's face darkened and as soon as the elevator doors closed, she abruptly removed the man's arm from her shoulders.

"No thank you. I have my own car parked in the bas.e.m.e.nt as well," she grunted and pressed the bas.e.m.e.nt button where the car was.

"By the way what's your connection with him and why did you need to bring me there?" Sarah suddenly recalled and asked, because Kyle had introduced her to a very popular person right now, the presidential candidate, Bill Grey.

"That's awfully offending you know! I mean you did not even bother to ask for my name but you are pretty curious about my connection with Bill Grey somehow. Why? Are you his ardent supporter?" Kyle mumbled with a teasing grin.

"No way! I will not vote for him!" Sarah almost yelled, making Kyle raise his eyebrow and asked, "And why is that?"

"And why do I need to tell you or explain that to you? Anyway, the man doesn't have any children... So I guess he's a close family friend of your parents. I wonder though why you need to bring a girlfriend and show him off?

Is that because he was with his fiance and you felt awkward around them without a woman?" Sarah mumbled since there was nothing special that happened when they met neither any specific business talks happened between them but there were only casual talks and mostly Bill spoke asking Kyle how he was doing and his life in general.

"You could be right or maybe wrong…" Kyle murmured.

"But that woman. I mean his fiance is too young for him. Anyway, I don't have a right to judge… You two seemed so close as well?" Sarah then asked because she noticed how comfortably Gracy talked with Kyle as if they've known each other for too long.

"You ask too many questions for someone who doesn't even know my name…" Kyle bent towards her and whispered in an intimidating tone.

"Yeah, I guess my curiosity is just piqued anyway, no need to answer since we won't meet each other again. I hope we are even now…" Sarah retreated and commented with a small voice.

The elevator doors finally opened to the bas.e.m.e.nt parking lot where her car was parked.

Sarah stepped out and did not even bother to turn towards Kyle and fled.

Kyle shook his head and whispered, "I guess she's really not interested in knowing my name. But what an odd woman who trusts a stranger that easily..."
