The Law of Attraction Chapter 313

At Sy Mansion

“Will you and Jorge not sleep here even at the weekends?” Senior Sy suddenly opened up while he and Miley were having breakfast. He felt really very bored staying alone in his big mansion without any of his children. Miley would often sleepover at Jorge’s place ever since they broke the inhibitions between them, and he did not dare prohibit her anymore from doing so, since the wedding of the two was very near.

Miley chuckled and replied, “I will tell Jorge to move back here… He too misses you a lot, anyway. He always keeps asking me how you are doing and doesn’t even hesitate when he drives me away often, saying you have no companion.”

Soon the platter of fruits arrived. Miley creased her forehead, seeing an unfamiliar face serving the fruits to them.

“Are you new here?” she asked Chelsy, who gently kept the platter of fruits on the table.

“Yes ma’am,” Chelsy answered with her meek, beautiful smile. Miley nodded and asked, “What��s your name?”

“Chelsy, ma’am.” she timidly answered.

Chelsy looked at Senior Sy and asked, “Sir, I have baked another cake… Would you like to try?” Chelsea asked because she heard that Senior Sy had almost finished all the cake she made the last time.

“Wow… Okay sure…” Senior Sy enthusiastically replied. He looked at Miley and said, “You should try Chelsey’s cake, it really tastes good.”

Miley looked at Chelsey and she noticed the woman’s face blushed.

‘Oh boy… why do I smell something fishy…’ Miley mused because she could obviously notice that Chelsey seemed to be having a crush on her father, looking at how the woman was reacting with her father’s simple compliment.

“How old are you, Chelsey?” Miley suddenly asked.

Chelsey looked at her and answered with a smile, “Thirty five ma’am…”

Miley liked how she smiled. It was very refreshing and genuine. Chelsey seemed to have a clear heart and cheerful personality.

“Married?” Miley continued.

Chelsey instantly shook her head.

“Hmm, boyfriend? Do you have a boyfriend?” Miley continued to ask.

“None, ma’am…”

Senior Sy felt Miley was acting weird, so he coughed and said, “Stop that. Why are you asking personal things to her like that? It could be uncomfortable for Chelsey to answer such questions.”

Miley gave Chelsy her sweetest smile as she asked, “Are you uncomfortable, dear?”

Chelsey shook her head and gave Miley her sweetest smile.

“See… She’s okay with it, father. Besides, I’m curious so I’m asking. You can go now Chelsy and get the cake so we can try it, please? Thanks.” Miley then added, dismissing Chelsey.

“Is she from the agency?” Miley casually asked her father.

“No. I happened to help her out from a difficult situation when I went out to have dinner alone a few days ago. That night I was really feeling very lonely, you know… Having none of my children around in this big house.”

Miley ignored her father’s sulking tone and asked, “Oh so you recruited her? Tell me what happened father.”

Senior Sy sighed and told Miley how he met Chelsy that night.

“Oh, good thing that you were around at that time, father. It’s better then that she stays here with us.” Miley commented as she felt sympathy with the woman’s hardships.

“By the way… Did Liam call already. Your brother is making me worry Miley. Also Lana… When will she come back. These two… How can I have a grandchild if they keep on prioritizing work rather than living with each other?!” Senior Sy burst, changing the topic.

“Big bro and Lana will be back soon. I just got a call last night and almost forgot to tell you. Hehe. Sorry… But big bro said that he will call you also within the day.

Mirage Trial at At Country V

The next hearing of the trial had to start at the same place where the first hearing was to take place. All the procedures were the same. Lana together with Xander reached amidst the same tight security as they reached on their first trial. 

They were finally blindfolded and taken inside the courtroom where they were given a private area to sit before the judge arrived. Lana’s blindfold was removed along with others who accompanied them and they were once again checked for arms or any dangerous objects.

The people at Yun’s side had also arrived and were sitting in their waiting area.

They were soon called in the courtroom and were asked to present their case further in front of the judge. Lana opened her file and started with a blow.

“Your honour, though there are many cases in which Mr. Yun had misused the power of the Yue clan for his benefits and he had been actively involved in killing innocent people for his greed of property, but the worst sin that a human can commit is killing and eliminating his own family members just to keep their stake on the power. 

Next, I want to present a few incidents which are clearly linked with Mr. Yun who thought he was successful in erasing all the evidence including the witnesses, yet he failed in it.”

Lana then opened the case of the planned murder on Xander’s cousin Bernard against the opponent.

As Lana spoke this Liam stood up and said, “Objection your honour, he could have been bribed by anyone, even Mr. Xander could have bribed the truck driver to kill him as he was in love with Ms. Yera Han and wanted to steal her away from Mr. Cooper. How can my talented opponent name my client with no concrete proof?”

Lana smirked when she heard Liam’s statement. 

‘Is this how you defend your client, Mr. Sy?’ she thought then she took a deep breath and continued, “In fact, what my capable opponent just said is exactly right your honour, and to not name his clients without any strong and obvious evidence I should not take his name. But what if I have something that can prove me right?”

Lana brought the papers out from the envelope and explained the story behind the letter and presented the letter and forensic study details to the court.

That envelope contained the original postmortem report of the truck driver and also attached were documents supporting its authentication. 

Lana waited for Liam’s objection, but to her surprise Liam was too quiet at that moment. She could see Yun cursing at him in silence, but Liam only answered Yun with a sigh.
