The Law of Attraction

Chapter 379: To Spare

Back at the hospital, it took Chelsy a while, and she hesitatingly looked at Ram's direction, who gave her a gesture to tell Liam everything. She opened her mouth to narrate everything to Liam from the start.

"Apart from being a waitress, I also worked at a large syndicate that dealt with hacking and data stealing. I'm somehow very talented with computer hacking, breaking codes, remotely working without being tracked and all that kind of stuff, but no one wanted to hire me because I lacked proper credentials and had no backing." Chelsy started. She was almost a genius when it came to technology.

She honestly wanted to pursue that, but she chose not to when Ram asked her because she used that talent and knowledge of hers to help bad people just for money. She wanted to bury that horrible background before starting a new life.

She gulped and then continued narrating her history, "Until I met someone who offered me a job with good pay. My only focus was to earn money to pay all my debts and provide well for my father, who was sick. I accepted a lot of jobs from them at that time and sustained a difficult time doing all this.

They usually instructed me about what to do, and I accepted everything as long as no one would get hurt along the process. I mostly gathered data, hacked some computers to get the tender amounts, and fabricated a lot of things for them."

She bit her lip and looked in Ram's direction once in a while as she continued narrating everything to Liam.

"But then, my debts kept increasing, and eventually I met your father one day and thought I would be able to start a new life now."

Chelsy paused and bowed her head down before uttering, "I told them I want to quit, but they just didn't let go of me. I requested them to let me go and when I constantly kept denying doing their jobs, they asked me to complete one last job and then they would let me go.

I refused, but they started threatening me with my safety and your father's safety. They sent me a few videos of your father being tailed by their men." Chelsy narrated and paused to look at Ram.

Ram looked at Liam and said, "I asked Miley to get her mobile phone from the apartment. She's on her way back here already."

"They promised me they will let me go if I finished this job… And that's the scandal regarding you, Lana, and Rio. I did as they asked me to, in the hope that they will keep their promise to let me go and not hurt Ram.

I'm sorry… I'm the one responsible for all those videos that were leaked. I don't know how they managed to get someone to confess about it. What I did was to make sure everything will be untraceable."

"They kept you alive because they think you will still be a useful pawn for them in the future, Chelsy. They probably sent someone to stab you in order to warn you and make you scared enough to keep your mouth shut," Liam presumed.

He could not believe how small the world was and that everything would be connected like this. He was furious when he came to know about it all and wanted to take strict action but his father, who cared a lot about this woman, had warned him in advance to be lenient with her, saying she was just a victim who was too scared.

His father also justified her actions, saying not all people could think straight about what to do when they were trapped in her kind of complicated circumstances.

In other words, his father wanted him to spare this woman. Liam heaved a long deep sigh, pitying his father somehow for getting involved again with another complicated woman.

But then at least he was sure that this woman loved his father and seemed to be willing to stick with him no matter what happened, unlike that woman who left him.

"I don't think the person who stabbed me is in the same group. He's very frightening… That person who stabbed me. His words…" Chelsy started trembling, recalling that night.

She was on her way to her old apartment that time, to clear out and dispose of all the unnecessary things because she had decided that she would no longer go back to her old ways. She wanted a new life with Ram…

But she passed by that man and bumped into him. The last thing she knew was she felt a sharp pain in the side of her stomach. He stabbed her, but the knife he used did not penetrate deep. She felt that he intentionally did not kill her.

She wanted to go to the hospital, but she got scared of the possible questioning of the police. She did not know what to do, so she took care of the wound on her own since she thought it was not that deep.

Miley soon arrived with Chelsey's phone.

"I got the mobile phone." Miley commented and picked it up from her bag and handed it to Liam.

"Here.." Liam said, giving her the phone. She unlocked it and showed Liam the videos of his father.

Liam watched the videos they sent to Chelsy. He admitted in his heart that an insecure woman could easily fall into their trap with such threatening videos. There was also a video where his father almost got hit by a car. Liam's face darkened as his jaw clenched, imagining the gravity of the matter.

"I had to risk it somehow. Do what they asked me to… You are anyway the best lawyer in the country, so I thought you can easily handle the scandal. I mean, at that time I thought that a scandal is nothing compared to Ram's life… That's how I weighed everything and decided to do as they said." Chelsy muttered.
