The Law of Attraction
Chapter 59: Live A Happy Life

Lana stared at Liam in shock, and embarrassment was clearly written on her lovely face.

Liam narrowed his eyes at her and asked, "What's wrong? Do I have something funny written on my face?"

Lana gulped while her face unconsciously reddened.

To hide her embarrassment, she nodded and said, "There's morning glory near your eyes."

"A what?" Liam asked, not convinced. Lana slightly leaned as if looking closely in his eyes.

"Oh sorry, I'm nearsighted. I guess there's nothing in the close-up view," she innocently murmured and sat back down on her seat.

She was hesitant to ask Liam about those embarrassing moments so she better kept it in heart and took it to her grave and not dig it out.

She bit her lips and cringed while the scene played in her mind like a flash screen. 'Darn!' she inwardly cursed. She remembered that she was the one who kissed him most of the time.

'I called him handsome GAY,' Lana continued to ponder in her memories, trying to recall if Liam answered her with her accusation of him being a gay.

'Hold on! It was him who kissed me first!' She silently defended with squinted eyes, but then she couldn't afford to confront Liam because he could counter her by simply saying that she kissed him back multiple times.

She was in that deep thought when their order came.

"Why aren't you eating? I thought, you're hungry?" Lana heard Liam speak. She gave him an awkward smile before she touched her breakfast.

"Where are we going by the way? Is it to meet Mrs. Gale Ming?" she asked next, trying to erase the recollection of her memories of that night. She remembered Liam said that they would focus on her case since the trial would begin soon.

"Do you personally know her?" she asked next and Liam raised his head to look at her for a few seconds and simply nodded.

Lana pouted her lips because Liam was too quiet to handle and she didn't get any chance to pry further in the matter. It was like he did not want to disclose anything about Miss Gale and him, except if it was about the case, so she thought maybe she would ask Jorge about this later.

But that silence did not stop her from talking.

"You know, that Gilbert Ming seemed to be a good person. He has no enemy. He has a lot of charity foundations and is very famous for helping others. He is quite generous to people too, so I wonder who would dare murder him and frame it to his wife? It said, he has a good relationship with his family as well." Lana casually commented.

"He was quite a catch for any woman. So first I thought there could be a third party involved or something like that, but surprisingly, he never had a girlfriend since birth or been in a scandal with any other women. So they say Miss Gale was really lucky for having such an almost perfect man. Him being handsome and young was an added bonus.

They looked perfect in the photos, too much in love with each other, handsome and beautiful, very loving and adorable couple, as what others would remark. I think it's because of money. We should check more on his siblings and relatives. I agree that it's a framed up case. Poor Mrs. Gale…

She lost her dear husband in a brutally tragic way and at worst the real culprit is still out there making her the scapegoat. I really hate it when they use a naive woman like her for their crimes." Lana added before drinking her coffee.

She too felt so engrossed in the case and vowed to do everything she could to help Liam prove Mrs. Gale's innocence.

"Can we please have a quiet breakfast, Lana?" Liam dryly commented.

Lana's mouth twitched with that dull response, so she kept her mouth shut rather than talking to a statue.

After breakfast they headed to the detention center. Lana went out first but was startled that Liam was still in the driver's seat and had not even made any gesture of coming down so she opened her door and asked, "Why are you not coming out?"

Liam sat there without moving. His hands were still on the steering wheel and his eyes were fixed on a spot in front of him as well.

"Liam!" Lana called again. "What's wrong with you?" she murmured.

She went back inside and snapped her fingers in front of Liam's face. "Hey!!! Are you okay?" she probed.

Liam finally went back to himself and answered, "Yeah, I'm good. Let's go."

They both then went out of the car and walked inside the detention center together. They showed their papers and approval for meeting Mrs. Gale and were escorted inside the waiting room. There they waited for Mrs. Gale Ming.

Soon, a beautiful woman in a prisoner's outfit with handcuffs was escorted inside. Her head was lowered, and an officer guided her to sit on a chair.

Lana saw the woman was in very low spirits and she didn't even bother to look at the people who were there to see her. Gale heaved a long sigh before sarcastically muttered, "What's the sense for a pro bono lawyer to help in this hopeless case with no evidence in my favour."

Lana could sense how hopeless she was with those words and tone of her voice. She didn't even give them a single look and a few tears were already visible on her face.

"You said you will live a happy life… What's this now?" Liam murmured with an aggrieved expression.

Hearing his voice, Gale suddenly lifted her head, and shock was visible on her face. Her eyes darted at Liam in terror and she panicked a little when she saw him sitting in front of her.

"Liam?" she said in a raspy, doubtful tone that almost came out as a whisper to them.
