The Law of Attraction

Chapter 204: A Nagging Mother

"I said, do you think you can beat Liam inside the courtroom representing my firm?" Noah asked with a bit of volume in his voice and irritation this time.

Luo was chewing a bubble gum while she looked at Liam, who was talking keenly with Lana and Gale before Gale was pulled out by the police.

Noah frowned and hissed, "Throw that bubble gum away!" He could not help it. She was annoying him with her actions and he couldn't understand why Luo's actions were so opposite of her conservative, prim and proper looks!

Luo stopped chewing and met his irritated gaze but did not throw her bubblegum. Instead, she popped out a small part of it in her mouth and filled some air in it, causing it to blow up like a balloon and before it burst with a sound. Then she took it all back in her mouth and chewed it louder.

"Well, I'm not your employee yet, so I guess you have no right to boss me around as of now. But to answer your question… Well, I can beat Liam anytime but of course it depends on the price you give me, as you see beating someone like him who is almost unbeatable is going to be a bit pricey for me to handle but it is possible." Luo mumbled and once again made another popped circle with her bubblegum like a kid.

Noah gave her a stern look and said, "you should prove yourself worth the money I am giving you or else I will make your life miserable in my firm."

Luo smirked and said, "Sure… Try it if you can," followed by a wink that made Noah's face reddened and he quickly left the place fuming. Luo watched his back and shook her head.

"He is such a narcissist…" Luo whispered and walked to approach Lana and Liam.

The trial resumed after the lunch break. Luo sat on the opposite side, far away from Noah. After this second encounter with him, she thought it was better to not be seen by him as his way of reprimanding her every time they met was typically that like a nagging mother. She could not believe that she would meet someone like him her entire life.

She suddenly contemplated her decision to work for Noah. She shifted her gaze to Liam, then to Noah as she drew comparisons between the two men inside her head. But then the amount of money she would make, from both the men, popped up in her head and she almost imagined fanning all over herself with the money she would receive.

That scene alone was too tempting to let go. So maybe she could last long enough with Noah and just take earplugs with her once she started there, so she could not hear his nagging.

She even felt that it was Noah's habit to nag behind all his employees, and she kind of pitied all the people working for him. A certified nagger as the boss... But Luo knew she was stubborn, so good luck with him. She giggled at the thought of her new boss having a high blood pressure because of her soon.

"Or maybe I should take things slow and behave a bit or else he will kick me out and void my contract. That would be a waste for such a good offer of money…" Luo mumbled before focusing her attention at the trial.

The trial was proceeding as and how Liam had foreseen it.

After a few more hours, the judge gave his final verdict on Gale.

"Not guilty…"

Those two words kept ringing in Gale's ears. She was out of herself, totally spacing out because she still couldn't believe what she just heard.

She did not believe it was possible but still the verdict was not guilty so a miracle had actually just happened!!!

"Oh my God," she finally whispered while the tears fell like waterfalls from her eyes. She was now free to go. No more prisoner's suit and sleepless nights inside her cell.

If not for Lana's hand that she felt on her shoulder, she would not be able to wake up from her own world at that moment.

"You're free Gale. We won the case." she heard Lana say and Gale hugged her tightly while she was still sobbing.

"Yes, I am and it's all because of you and Liam… Thank you so much. Oh, God is good! I'm free." Gale whispered with a stuttering voice.

Lana gently pushed her and smiled then she said, "It's not me whom you should hug like this but Liam. He's the one who made the impossible happen."

Gale looked at Liam and walked towards him to give him a hug as well.

Lana unconsciously bit her lip as she watched that scene. For some reason she was feeling a tick of sharp needle poking in her heart. Maybe because she knew Liam and Gale shared a long time of relationship together in the past.

If you come to look at it, Gale had been with Liam longer than she was with him right now.

Liam caught her eyes as he released himself from Gale's embrace.

"I've done my part now, Gale. The next step will be yours to handle?Visit my firm once you are released so I can recommend you to one of my best lawyers." Gale nodded in understanding while wiping her tears. She would make sure Gilbert would have justice.

She had decided that now she would proceed to the next step, and that was making sure that Gilbert's uncle would receive the punishment he deserved for framing her and killing his nephew, who treated him like a father.

Lana and Liam soon left the courtroom.

Inside the car, Liam suddenly commented, "Mrs. Sy… Did I just see you frowning a while ago while Gale was hugging me?"

Lana pursed her lips as she plainly replied, "Concentrate on your driving Liam and stop spouting nonsense."

She did frown, but she knew it was nothing… That was what she thought until she suddenly mumbled, "Gale is free now… I think you two have some special connection with each other to understand and trust each other so strongly."

Liam, who was driving the car, suddenly stopped it at the side of the road and then looked at Lana.

"Why did we stop?" Lana asked.

Liam did not answer yet but pulled Lana to his embrace then he said, "It's natural to get jealous, Lana but I want you to know that yes Gale and me had a relationship before but that was before and all is in the past and that special connection had already ended.

The reason I took this case was because I knew she couldn't be as the reports said, and so I had to find out the truth for an innocent woman. Today, she is just an acquaintance for me and I only have a special connection with my wife now, and that's you Lana… No one else…"
