novelShe Crossed The Line
| ← Ch.160 | Ch.162 → |
Time flew by very fast and Senior Sy with Jorge and Miley got up to bid their farewell to Mrs.. Huang so the latter could finally rest. Mrs. Huang and Lana walked them outside.
"Mom, I will be going with them since I need to do some cleaning at home and fix a few things. I will be back before dinner." Liam notified and looked at Lana, who gave him a simple nod.
"Alright son, " Mrs. Huang answered before shifting her gaze to Senior Sy.
"I'm really glad that you found time to visit me." Mrs. Huang once again mentioned, and Senior Sy smiled.
"Next time, I will invite you and Lana once you are fully recovered." Senior Sy replied while Miley and Jorge gave Mrs. Huang a cheek to cheek kiss before entering their car.
Well, Miley did the same to Lana, but Jorge only waved his hand, afraid of his brother's possessiveness.
Liam also kissed his mother-in-law before going to Lana and gave her a quick peck kiss on her lips then whispered, "See you later, love."
Liam went in the same car with his father, and Lana watched it drive out of her sight.
"Let's go in mom, "?she said once the car already left. Mrs. Huang nodded, and they went inside the house.
Meanwhile, inside the car, Senior Sy felt something was wrong, for Liam had not told them beforehand that he had something up in the house to take care of. It was not normal for him to go with them like that all of a sudden.
Curious, he asked, "Is it something important that you couldn't even wait until tomorrow?"
"Is Gracy still at home? I had my doubts about the accident Lana met yesterday and so I got everything investigated, father. Gracy is the one behind this incident and she had planned it all behind her disguise of showing concern. She's the one responsible for Lana getting stuck inside the elevator father.
I want to deal with her in my own way, alone. I know you feel bad for her as she is left alone and all of us here respected her father very much, but she crossed the line this time." Liam grunted.
"I knew something was off with that woman talking so much after the incident! Imagine we were all shocked and emotional when we saw Lana in that vulnerable and broken state, but she still bothered to tell me about Lana's background?
You should not go easy on her, bro! That woman has become really evil in her thoughts lately." Miley encouraged. She herself wanted that Gracy out of their house and was planning out already on how to bug and pest her.
"Son... Are you sure about this?" Senior Sy asked because he did not want to become biased.
"I had it investigated, father. I have evidence and you know my way of working so well... I don't accuse anyone without evidence, ever." Liam simply answered and Senior Sy once again exhaled a frustrated sigh.
He knew his son very well. He would not make a move without confirming things.
Nostrils still flaring, Miley added, "Father, I'm sure Gracy will play innocent before you after bro confronts her. Can you be not so soft-spoken for once and show her that our family is not dumb and she cannot manipulate any of us by acting like she's kind, adorable or something. She's a fake angel in disguise, but in reality she is trying to break my brother's marriage!"
Jorge elbowed Miley and whispered, "Shhh, don't meddle on it or it will get worse. Liam is already flaring up in anger and if you say more, he is going to be more mad. I don't want him to take any drastic step out of anger.
Let Liam handle Gracy with less damage as possible and don't tell father what to do. I'm sure he knows how to handle someone who is playing tricks with his family and children."
Miley rolled her eyes and murmured, "Precisely! I know what father will do! You know how soft-hearted a person he is, even for a sinner his heart is very soft!"
Senior Sy shrugged his shoulders and uttered, "You must know I can hear you two, right? Stop discussing... Your brother will handle and like Jorge said... I know what to do, Miley."
Miley zipped her mouth hearing the authoritative tone of her father. It had been a while since she last heard him use a tone like that. This made clear how angry he was on Gracy right now
"Sorry father..." Miley apologised. There was only silence afterwards, and they soon arrived at their home.
Senior Sy went in first. Liam turned to Miley and instructed, "Can you please tell Gracy to come and see me in the living area?"
Miley nodded, and then all of them went inside. Jorge stayed with Liam in the living area and discussed his concern with Liam.
"Luo is the best. Wow, she managed to get everything you need within a day..." Jorge could not help but praise her. Luo also sent him the evidence she gathered in a snap. 𝑓r𝘦𝘦𝘄eb𝒏ovel - 🅽🅽novel
"Hmm, I guess she had made a lot of connections during her service as a public prosecutor." Jorge added but gulped seeing Liam's cold, emotionless and heartless face.
He suddenly felt a glint of pity for Gracy, even if the woman did not deserve that. Seeing Liam's gloomy expression, Jorge did not need to ask what was his plan for Gracy.
Liam would definitely not go easy on her. Jorge also believed he shouldn't because if he had been in Liam's place and anyone would try to sabotage Miley and harm her, he would definitely not go easy on that person.
"Liam, Great to see you home. I hope you will stay for a while here now that you are here. Miley said you asked for me? What is it? Tell me Liam!" Gracy excitedly greeted. She was too overwhelmed to know Liam was back home and was looking for her.
"Hello Jorge."
Jorge nodded with a half smile. Gracy was in a good mood as evident from all those beautiful and bright smiles on her face. Jorge shook his head as he knew very soon those smiles were going to fade away.
Jorge stood up and said, "I'll go first and rest..."
Liam nodded and looked at Gracy expressionless."Sit."
Gracy immediately sat beside Liam and muttered, "It's good to finally see you at home Liam. Will you stay here for long?"
Liam stood up as soon as Gracy sat down beside him, to sit on the opposite couch instead of facing Gracy. He did not want her near him at all, or he did not know what he could do to her out of his anger. He was fuming in anger, and he was only controlling himself out of his respect for Gracy as a woman and a family friend.
Gracy's eyebrows collided at Liam's action, but she still managed to give a smile and asked, "How is Lana, by the way? Oh, I can't believe what happened last night. Seeing how she reacted maniacally... I think she should talk to some professional psychologist and even get treated properly for her case before she..."
"Shut up, Gracy!"
