Chapter 452 - In Their Favor (2/2)

It was almost lunchtime when Lana presented her evidence of Kelly's murder and then a break was announced, and the trial was postponed till after lunch.

Xander and Lana were seated in a private room where Chad took care of their meals and accompanied them for lunch.

”Hey, Lana, I saw that man at Plumeria island. Yun's lawyer,” Chad commented while they were eating.

”Yeah… He is really famous. Liam Sy. He's actually Ryu's cousin.” Xander interrupted. He knew Liam by name and his connection with the Kens. The man must have his own reason for taking up Yun's case.

Lana was silent and felt the disdain in Xander's voice for Liam. She hesitated for a while but then after a few minutes she said, ”There must be a reason he is doing it, a valid reason for sure. He's a very just man and will not take any crappy case from a monster without any reasonable cause…”

Lana sighed, she knew her husband well.

”Is he your boyfriend?” Chad teased.

”Yeah… you can say so....” Lana muttered.

”What?!” Chad and Xander exclaimed in chorus.

”Couples don't only fight inside the closed walls, you know, and a couple in the same profession are at loggerheads many times in their working areas, more so if they are lawyers…” Lana commented in a jest.

No one was aware she was married to Liam except her family and Liam's family and given the contractual agreement between them, something which that rascal used to his convenience, she better not reveal their married status in front of everyone.

”What kind of relationship is it between you that you both are at loggerheads with each other? Wait! Make sure you won't lose to your boyfriend in this fight, Lana,” Xander suddenly said in a worried tone that made Chad laugh hard.

”Why are you laughing! Don't you know Liam Sy? He could win even the most impossible cases that he takes up! He's a veteran compared to Lana! To be honest, I first asked him to fight my case, but he turned me down.” Xander mumbled, recalling how Liam turned down his request for an appointment.

Lana's lips pouted and said, ”I told you I never have lost a case till now and am never gonna lose against Liam as well. Do I need to repeat that several times to make your trust?”

Xander heaved a long deep sigh… So far everything was going smoothly in their favor.

”Maybe your boyfriend will let you win? Men often give way to their women, right?” Chad joked to kill the sudden tension in the air.

Lana twitched her mouth. She too wondered if that would be the case. Liam was hiding something from her, and that was for sure.
