The Law of Attraction
Chapter 87: Punishments

At Go's Mansion

Senior Sy together with Miley and Jorge stayed longer with Gracy in her home that day. He felt leaving her alone soon after the funeral will be emotionally harsh on her.

"Where is Liam, uncle?" Gracy asked Senior Sy, not finding Liam anywhere.

Senior Sy looked at Jorge.

"Liam went back to the office father," Jorge answered incompletely.

"Oh, maybe he has gone to pick up Lana." Miley enthusiastically interrupted.

Senior Sy unconsciously gave a faint smile when he heard Lana's name and no longer pondered over the reason for Liam's absence.

"Please stay for dinner, uncle. I have asked the chef to prepare all your favorite dishes, uncle." Gracy invited before adding, "It would be great to have Liam also with us like old times."

"Sure Gracy." Senior Sy commented and looked at Jorge.

"Call Liam and tell him to join us for dinner at Gracy's place." Senior Sy instructed.

"Father, he must be with Lana right now. I mean, probably having dinner with her. He had been too busy lately arranging everything for the funeral and pending time here. He must be feeling like spending some time with Lana now." Miley interrupted that made Gracy's brow arched but quickly diminished and followed was a sweet smile.

"Hmm, looks like our Miley is no longer fond of me." Gracy stated in a jest.

Miley had a lopsided grin before directly replying, "Of course not Gracy. You know I'm fond of you and like you as well, but it's just that not as much as how I love Lana for my brother."

"Oh, I can see Miley is still as straightforward as ever uncle," Gracy complimented with a forced smile.

"Please don't get me wrong Gracy. It's just that my brother, after such a long time, finally has a woman, so I'm hoping it works out well for him and that is the reason why I don't like his small time with Lana getting interrupted. So father don't force Liam to join us for dinner now if he's with Lana." Miley pointed out, scolding her father for his instruction to call for Liam.

"Alright, you are right Miley. It has been hard for Liam for these past few days. Jorge don't call Liam but just send him a message and inform him that we are going to have dinner here." Senior Sy spoke to Jorge.

Meanwhile, Miley's face soured seeing Gracy hooked her arms with her father's and pulled him towards the garden.

"Why do I feel like you have some kind of this inner hate towards Gracy?" Miley heard Jorge whisper while they walked meters apart from their father and Gracy.

"Of course not! I just don't like the fact of her returning here, and as if we should all look after her and take care of her as a princess…" Miley childishly mumbled.

"Was it because I lent her my shoulders? Are you perhaps jealous?" Jorge confidently teased, hoping somehow this time Miley would answer him like how she used to.

"Aren't you getting too ahead of yourself? Why would I be jealous? Duh, why don't you lend her all of your body and not just your shoulders? Go and lend her as much of yourself to her as much you wish, I won't mind… brother!" Miley scorned and walked ahead of him.

Jorge saw her run to her father and hooked her arms with him at another side.

He scratched his head before letting out a long frustrated sigh.

'Again brother!'

Back at Lana and Liam…

As soon as she was inside the car with Andrew, Lana saw Liam walking back to Daryl and talked about something with the policemen. She felt bad for Daryl, but she was hoping Liam would heed her words and spare Daryl any harsh words or scolding.

She should take the punishment instead of Daryl.

Meanwhile, Liam, still with a stern face, went back to the site to talk to the policemen and Daryl.

"I'm really sorry about this Liam," Dary apologized. Liam ignored him and looked directly at Steven.

"If anything that happened here today leaked in the office or if I heard a single detail spread in the office, you will suffer the consequences. Did I make myself clear?" Liam snarled and Steven nodded his head like a woodpecker in understanding.

Liam then looked at Daryl with knitted brows and said, "I'll deal with you later… Clean up this mess first and meet me later..."

Daryl exhaled loudly as soon as Liam walked out from there.

"You already knew about Lana and Attorney Sy?" Steven burst out in disbelief.

A while ago, he saw a monster in Attorney Sy's face while he kept on punching the gangster ruthlessly while saying 'how dare the man lay a finger on his woman?'.

Lana was his woman? No wonder she was inside his office and yet they thought because Lana came from the best law school and had better credentials before she was placed there? Well, Lana was more than capable amidst all the interns there anyway, so she was entitled to be trained under the CEO directly.

"Just make sure you keep your mouth shut. You don't want to offend those two, you see…" Daryl whispered and walked towards Jong. Steven scratched his head and followed.

Surely the couple was scary, each one of them was scary and ruthless. Lana knew no mercy when beating the gangsters, and Liam was even ready to kill when he saw Lana in danger.

A couple made in heaven, both were great lawyers, both were aloof and both were ruthless when it came to fighting skills. Who would dare offend anyone of them? Life is precious.

Inside the car, Lana looked at Andrew and said, "Is the funeral finished? I mean, why is he back in the office so fast?"

"Yes, madame. The funeral was finished, but the rest of the family is still there. We haven't gone to the office yet but headed here directly from the funeral after sir Liam found out that you are out with Daryl sir." Andrew explained in accordance with his understanding with his Boss' communication on the telephone with Dona.

"Huh?" Lana muttered. 'Wasn't he supposed to stay longer there to comfort Gracy and be her support system?' she mused but quickly brushed off any unnecessary thoughts in her head seeing Liam was walking back towards the car.

Liam instructed Andrew to drive back directly to Lana's place.

"You said I should punish you instead of Daryl, right?" Liam muttered while inside the car.

"Yes, please spare Daryl this time. I have even assured him that I will take care of you." Lana seconded, hoping Liam would not give Daryl any inconvenience because of her.

"Then you'll receive all the punishments on his behalf." Liam uttered in a serious note.
