The Law of Attraction

Marlyn passed out and Brione quickly instructed the helpers to carry her stepmother and assist her father who was not himself also back inside the house.

She could not believe how selfish his brother could be to turn happy things into a chaos like that without even considering anything!

'So irresponsible!' Brione could not help but cry in her mind. She knew her brother had deep resentment but she didn't expect he would do something such heartless and merciless.

Why make a scene like this when everything could be talked out properly? Did he hate their stepmother that much to come to this extent of revenge?

Yes, she could only think of it as a 'revenge'. To shame someone like that, without even thinking of the consequences and impact of it on others could only be a 'revenge'.

'And how dare you flee like that?' Brione grunted silently. She quickly composed herself and looked at the Sys with sympathy. She couldn't come up with anything to say to them. She felt ashamed of what her brother did and she knew an apology from her doesn't even count for the mess her brother had made.

With a stuttering voice, Brione apologized, "I'm really sorry for this. I didn't know about this but please forgive my brother for what just happened. Please forgive us..."

Her head was tilted down because she couldn't look into their eyes. She felt so ashamed. She tried hard to find words that could at least soothe their emotions but saying, 'sorry' several times was the only thing she could do.

Senior Sy felt his knees were too weak for him to even stand up. He could not even speak at all but only fixed his eyes in the direction where they carried Marlyn.

Jorge and Lana were the first ones to snap out of it and immediately took action to guide the rest of them to leave. Jorge quickly grabbed their father's hand and arm to help him on his feet.

"Brione we will leave first…" Lana said and signaled Brione that she would call her.

She quickly pulled the dazed Liam and Miley out of the party. Lana and Liam were together while Miley, Jorge and Senior Sy were in the same car.

All of them were still in shock inside their respective cars. Jorge held Miley in his arms who he knew was only forcing herself to suppress her tears so that father won't be able to see it. But he could feel that Miley's body was still trembling.

He looked at their father who remained quiet as he kept staring out of the window, expressionless.

Miley could no longer keep up with the silence as she ventured, "I even hugged her! She, who even changed her face to remove her past from her life… Look how she could smile like that to all the people. She's too happy that we are no longer a part of her life."

Jorge hugged her tightly and whispered, "It's her loss Miley for leaving you and the family. Be strong now and think of it as a trial that we all should only overcome. There's no difference… she was long gone from your life. So what if she's back? There's no difference… Let's act like we don't know her."

Jorge was not even sure if what he was saying made any sense. But he knew he should at least say something to ease the heavy atmosphere so he added, "You guys have survived all those years without her so… it doesn't matter even if you all know she is back now."

Meanwhile, inside Lana and Liam's car, Liam still had a dark expression. He gritted his teeth as he was still enraged. He wanted to punch Noah that time but controlled himself not to create a fuss.

He was glad that Brione's friend Gavin was quite fast to get all the media away from their area before they could get a grasp of the situation with the kind of commotion that happened.

No wonder he could sense something was off with Noah whenever he met, like he had some resentment towards him. It was probably resentment towards that woman that Noah extended to him and his family.

Obviously Noah had planned everything out beforehand and hence invited his whole family in the party. Liam's jaws clenched as he balled his fists in fury.

'That selfish bastard! I will kill him!' He growled. He would make that bastard pay for bringing this kind of pain back in his family. How dare he do that.

Liam witnessed how the pain they all tried to forget about came back to his father and sister. How could he declare that matter to them like that? Why couldn't he just bury the woman's secret alone.

Only a stupid and selfish moron like Noah Yu would do something so irresponsible like that. No wonder he did not like him from the start.

That woman was already dead for them! So, how dare that bastard disclose her identity to them when that woman herself was trying hard to hide herself… hide from her past and them! He was so agitated that he felt like he would erupt soon like a volcano.

Lana sensed her husband's fury so she grabbed his hands and gently kissed him.

"I think we should go stay at your mansion. I don't think it will be good to let father be alone at this point. No matter what happened… Stay calm and we must all act rational.

This is not the time to think of getting back or have resentment towards Noah and her but we must give each other comfort as a family. You need father and Miley and they also need you now." Lana consoled him and then instructed Andrew to drive them directly to Sy mansion.

She was sure Miley and Jorge would also stay with their father. The family needed some emotional support and strength at this point of time so she and Jorge must stay with them.

Liam hugged Lana and tried his best to clear his thoughts and act calm despite his furious and raging heart.

His wife was right. He should stop this anger now, or he wouldn't be any different from that Noah. He would not act selfish like him, and rather be focused on his own family instead.

Though he still could not hide the fact that deep down his heart he was really hurt… How much more would his father be? Oh, his heart was aching just at the thought of his father's condition...
