The Law of Attraction

Chapter 115: Her Family Background

Chapter 115: Her Family Background

Liam spent a while with Lana's friends and then left for the office and promised to treat Lana's friend to a wonderful dinner at the earliest date of their availability before leaving.

Lana's friends were all so cool and fun to be with that Liam realised how he would love to enjoy hanging out with them more often.

As soon as he arrived in his office, he asked for Daryl to assist him in dealing with Gale's case until Lana was busy with taking care of her mother in the hospital. Mrs. Huang would have to stay in the hospital for at least five days and Lana would be staying with her twenty-four seven.

"Good morning," Gracy brightly strutted into Liam's office and greeted him. She made her way to his cabin as soon as it came to her knowledge that Liam had already arrived at his office.

She had brought his favorite coffee with her, and in one hand had a coffee for herself. Gracy elegantly walked towards Liam's table to put his cup of coffee there for him and smiled gently at him.

"Good morning Gracy," Liam greeted back with a faint smile and added, "Thank you for the coffee. You didn't have to bother though."

"Welcome Liam, and that's not a problem at all. I just wanted to make sure you still like things like you liked a few years ago and especially this coffee, that we used to drink together often, it's still your favorite," Gracy casually commented and comfortably sat on one of the receiving couch of Liam.

She stared at the handsome profile of Liam working with all seriousness and ran through her words in her mind once before speaking it all out to him. She heaved a sigh and ran her fingers on the lid of her coffee mug as she felt again how much that woman had cheated such a gem of a person.

Her eyes were fixed at his face, staring at his each feature she missed sometimes when she was progressing in her career. All those years when she was away, she felt much elated with her success and whenever she got time she thought about Liam, and his gentle care that he always gave her.

It was difficult to leave him, but never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that she would end up losing him while she would gain a name in modeling abroad.

Looking back, she wouldn't have yet sacrificed her career for marriage. But if given a chance, she would keep herself in his loop and made sure that he wouldn't get entangled with anyone else while she would pursue her career.

It hurt her how nonchalant Liam was towards her, paying no attention at her existence at all, and was busy with the documents he was reading.

"How's Lana's mom now? I heard she underwent a surgery." Gracy murmured, trying her best to sound nonchalant.

"She's doing well now, Gracy." Liam lifted his head and answered her with a smile.

"How much do you know about her family background, Liam? Did you investigate her before you hired her? There might be some details you do not know about her, and those are some important things to consider.

Now when you have married her there are a few things that should have been cleared before marriage, although your marriage is not public and you can still salvage the situation.

I mean. Are you aware that she's an adopted child of Mrs. Huang? And this is not the end of the story. She rather has a very dark childhood and a bad family background." Gracy whispered.

Liam clenched his teeth as he heard her long speech and thoughts about Lana. He immediately stopped what he was doing. He glared icily at Gracy, and his eyebrows collided with a hint of anger in his entire aura.

He slowly stood up from his chair to sit on the couch opposite Gracy, who was so focussed on her own revelation that she missed the change in his aura. Somewhere in her heart she also thought because Liam would feel cheated, he might have some anger towards Lana after she told everything to him.

"Hey!! you never paid attention to me since the moment I entered your office but as soon as I commented about Lana, you suddenly saw me and even came to sit here to know more leaving all your work. It's quite offending, for a beautiful woman, Mr. Liam Sy if you know," Gracy muttered with pouted lips trying to sound simply concerned, before she took a sip from her coffee and put the cup back on the table.

Liam stared at her face unblinkingly, trying to find out her real intentions. He had a solemn, unreadable face and there were tornadoes running in his mind.

"Did you dare do a background check on my wife, Gracy?" Liam asked with a straight face.

Gracy's eyebrow arched and remarked, "Yes, I did, because I was worried about you and your family, Liam. I heard you just met her a few weeks ago and suddenly now you are married to her. Everything happened in such a rush that made me suspect her intentions, although the decision was probably taken because of her adoptive mother. But does it not ring a bell of alarm in your mind?

Liam, we had been great friends and were quite inseparable while we were in school. I know how naive you can be sometimes and seriously I felt worried about you and your family given the kind of background her biological parents have.

Her father is a murderer! He murdered his own wife for the sake of money. What if he comes after her someday, or even after you as soon as he gets a pardon?"

Liam's facial muscle flinched while his eyes directly stared at Gracy.
