Chapter 84: Hit The Gas

At Senior Go's Funeral

Gracy was sitting beside Liam and she rested her head on Liam's shoulder while she kept on sobbing while a sermon was being delivered.

Many gave their sympathies to Gracy, who was left alone by her father in a very unexpected way.

When it was time for Gracy to go up on the stage to pay tribute to her father. She elegantly went up the stage with teary eyed and gave a heart breaking departure speech for her father. She also took the opportunity to announce her plan to stay in the country for good and continue what her father had left behind, including all his businesses.

"Will she be appointed as the new Vice-Chairperson in your company?" Miley, who sat beside Liam asked in a whisper. She was shocked to hear Gracy would stay for good since she was aware how hell-bent a career woman Gracy was and how happy she was climbing new heights every year in her modeling world and was among the top models of the country where she lived.

���Yes Miley. It's a part of the clause in my agreement with Sean. His daughter will have everything he left behind, including the shares and position in our group." Liam answered, still saddened by Sean's unexpected passing.

Miley nodded, then asked next, "Why didn't you bring Lana with you? You should have brought her here..."

"I asked her, but she said it was better for her to not to come." Liam plainly answered.

He understood Lana's point of view since Lana knew no one from Sean's family. She had not even met Sean for that matter and if she would come to the funeral she would know no one except for Liam and his family.

Lana had comforted him well enough already. He smiled, recalling how Lana tried her best to make him feel better during those sad moments.

Miley's face crumpled because she did not like what she heard from other people who were there to attend the funeral. They were shipping his brother with Gracy, saying how good they both looked with each other. They were expecting that Liam would take care of Gracy in every way from now on since Gracy was left alone in the world now.

'So what if uncle Sean has passed away? Did not Gracy leave a few years ago to live an independent life shackle free and had even lived alone by herself for years abroad, she never spared a single flexible thought for her old father who was left here alone to take care of himself? If she could live abroad then why does she need assistance to live here alone? Moreover, since when did she become my brother's responsibility!' Miley irritatingly mused.

Liam was one of the closest people to Senior Go who gave a small speech about him, sharing how he helped him throughout his journey and in climbing the ladder of success.

A family friend suddenly elbowed Miley and commented, "Your brother and Gracy make a good pair. Your brother is old enough for marriage, right? I think Gracy is an excellent woman for him besides the close family ties you two have," while eyeing Liam at the stage with Gracy, paying their tributes to Gracy's father.

Miley gave the old woman a forced smile before answering, "Yes, but my brother already has a beautiful and caring girlfriend he plans to marry. She too is a lawyer and I'm sure if you see her you will say 'they are a match made in heaven' The two of them love each other very much. And aunt, Gracy is like a sister to us, so my father will make sure to see to her well being too."

Jorge, who heard that, almost choked on his own saliva. So Lana had already gained a vote from one of the family members and that's Miley. He could be counted as second vote as well since between Lana and Gracy, he liked Lana more.

Lana had no pretensions at all. Whatever was in her heart was on her mouth, she never showed off her status and just presented her true self in front of people every time.

While Gracy, Jorge felt like that woman was always hiding behind a mask. It was difficult to read what was going inside her head. Besides, leaving Liam like that having no means of communication after all these years was a big minus point for him.

He looked at his father… Wondering who would his father like more? Jorge recalled how his father used to partner Liam with Gracy a lot in their younger years, though.

After the funeral, the first thing Liam did was to give a call at the office.

"How's everything there? Is everything fine at the office? Did someone ask for me or is there any important matter for me to know right away?" Liam asked Dona, who answered the telephone.

Dona couldn't help but have a lopsided grin on her cute face hearing his indirect interrogation about certain someone. She was grateful to be quick-witted enough to get what her Boss wanted to know.

Earlier, whenever her Boss was out of the office even for a few days, he had never called back to ask how everything was in the office or if someone was looking or asking for him.

With a meaningful grin, Dona immediately answered, "Lana has gone out, Sir. She said she will be assisting Attorney Cha today and follow him for some witness's interview as she had finished her work here in the office and she enjoys the field work a lot. So she has gone out together with him and his intern Steven."

Liam's forehead furrowed. 'Outside? For work? With Daryl and Steven?' he mused.

"For which case? Did she mention where exactly they are going?" Liam asked while entering his car as soon as Andrew opened the door.

Dona could not answer him right away, so Liam said, "Never mind. I'll check with Daryl directly."

Liam immediately ended the call and dialed Daryl's number, but it only kept on ringing and no one picked the call.

"Why is he not answering!" Liam grumbled. He recalled the cases he handed over to Daryl then his eyes rounded thinking about the possibility of the crime cases he recently passed onto him since he wanted to focus on Gale's case.

He dialed Dona's number again to find out with his secretary where Daryl went.

Dona, who immediately acc.u.mulated information from Daryl's secretary after receiving the Boss' call a while ago, gave the details to Liam as flash as lightning.

Liam cursed after finding where Daryl had gone with Lana. That place was a dead zone, a nest of the thugs and burglars.

"Why would he take Lana there with him! That place is a complete chaos!" Liam grunted and tried to dial Daryl's number once more after giving the address to Andrew.

"Hit the gas, Andrew! Drive as fast as you can. Make sure we are there as soon as possible." Liam yelled with gritted teeth while cursing Daryl to the core.

Liam was at his wits end and was too angry to think about anything else at that moment. He could only think of Lana's safety and he swore that if anything bad happened to Lana, he would kill Daryl. His heartbeat was racing with both amber and worry. He tried to dial Lana's phone, but her number was out of reach.

'How come both of them could not be contacted at the same time!' he annoyingly complained inside while he could not help but worry about Lana's safety.

"Andrew! Can you drive a little faster!" Liam hissed.

Andrew scratched his head because he was already at their maximum speed limit.
