The Law of Attraction

Chapter 513: Generous Enough

Chapter 513: Generous Enough

Gracy left the house and drove her own car to meet Lana. She could still not fathom why Lana would ask her out for a meal. However, she had a hunch that somehow Lana and Liam were suspecting her for the incident that happened a year ago because of Bill's illegal connections, underworld dealing, and crimes that went public plus a lot of cases filed against him at this point.

They were after all lawyers hence the possibility for them to suspect her was high because of her connection with Bill Grey.?Maybe they didn't figure anything out and she was just getting paranoid knowing the fact that Bill could not protect her well at this rate.

But one thing was for sure, she knew that Lana was up to something by suddenly asking her to meet this way. Not giving it any more thought, Gracy recalled everything she had done just to hurt Lana.

At first, she just wanted her name to be dragged by a scandal so she took advantage of Rio Tang's suicide… Framing it to Lana…

Yes, she was very well aware of that incident between Rio Tang and Lana when she had an in-depth investigation pertaining to Lana the moment Liam introduced the b*tch as his woman.

But as expected, Liam was too clever and managed to clear out Lana's name. In the end, Rio Tang's name got dragged even after her death because of Gracy.

Then she once again saw another opportunity when Bill was planning to kidnap rich personnel and ask for ransom from their family to increase his funds for the election. At that time, Lana's mother came to her mind so she suggested it to Bill because Mrs. Huang was fully loaded as well.

Gracy shook her head coming out of her thoughts as she turned right. Until now, her mind was still busy thinking of all the reasons why Lana would want to meet her. She couldn't come up with any other reason other than the crimes she had committed.

She could have refused Lana's invitation but decided that it was best for her not to refuse meeting her nor anyone from the Sys so as to not raise their suspicions against her. If she acted normally she would not look guilty of anything. She would keep her calm and feign innocence to any accusations that Lana might make against her or Bill Grey...

"Let's see what you've got…" she uttered as she parked her car in the parking lot and got down to walk to the restaurant with her chin high up.

The waiter guided her to the private room where Lana was already waiting.

Gracy gave her a smile as she sat comfortably in front of Lana who had a serious face. There was no one around them so she did not need to pretend and greet her properly like before. She did not even wanna see Lana's obnoxious face! But she was curious to know the reason behind Lana's invitation.

"Let's eat first," Lana casually commented as she started ordering food and casually asked Gracy if she wanted to add anything and Gracy just shook her head.

Gracy felt weird seeing her behavior so as soon as the waitress left, she said, "I'm surprised you asked to see me after everything… Though I had said to let bygones be bygones about our issue on Liam, still, I don't see a point as to why you ask me out for a?meal since we're not that close… Right? Unless you grew fond of me and ended up liking me?"

"Eat Gracy, I'm starving and I want to eat before talking to you," Lana nonchalantly uttered and started eating her food as soon as it was served.

Gracy could sense something but ignore and she too started eating, reminding herself not to act recklessly. She wanted to know what Lana was planning or what the b*tch wanted to tell her.

They were in the middle of having lunch when Lana suddenly asked, "So how's Bill doing? Are you making any moves to get him out and set him free?"

Gracy's eyebrows lifted up as she replied, "I bet you and your military friends want to keep him detained forever. Is that why you wanted to see me? To mock me? Bill is innocent so he will eventually be released soon. Whatever it is that you and your friends are planning will be in vain. I can't believe I even wasted my time seeing you here!"

Lana only shrugged her shoulders as her eyes shifted to see the time on the wall clock then to her mobile phone placed on the table.

"You know, Father is sad seeing how your life is turning out to be. He was hoping that you will have a good life doing what is right…" Lana commented.

Gracy's face darkened as she barked, "What is this?! What nonsense are you talking about? I should get out now because you're the last person I would want to have a meal with! Why are we even having this stupid meal together?!"

Lana gave Gracy an impassive smile and said, "Don't worry, the feeling is mutual. Just continue eating Gracy and let's have a clear conversation after. Don't worry I will be brief and not waste your time as well as mine..."

Gracy stared at Lana with narrowed eyes. She saw how the b*tch just continued eating ignoring her. She wanted to walk-out but something inside her stopped her from doing so.

Lana halted eating as soon as her mobile phone beeped, she looked at it before she threw her sharp gaze on Gracy. She was buying time for Drey and his team to complete the task. And she just received the signal that everything was done and good to go.

Gracy was starting to get furious as she saw Lana glared at her and then smirk which was followed by complete silence. Noticing that she was getting ignored, she moved to grab her purse and was about to stand up when Lana suddenly said in her firm voice, "I'm not done talking with you…"

Lana grabbed a steak-knife and gently cut her steak. She then raised her head to look at Gracy and with a deathly stare uttered, "You are here because I'm generous enough to have a civil talk with the woman who killed my mother. I'm generous enough to treat you to a nice meal before I make sure to see you behind bars the next time we meet."
