BXBX NOVEL Chapter 502: Surprise Them
Chapter 502: Surprise Them
Days passed by and Lana became busy with helping and assisting out the Chan\'s for their campaign, especially Keira, for the upcoming presidential election which is to be held in a few more days.
"It would be nice if May was with us," Lana commented while she ate lunch with Keira. They were eating in one of the private rooms in one of Chan\'s buildings that the campaigning team was using to meet, gather and talk about everything pertaining to the candidacy and campaign of Keira\'s father.
May was not with them because it was not advisable for her to exhaust herself in her current stage of pregnancy while Drey was directly assisting Keira\'s parents on site.
"I really hope uncle wins this election," Lana said with a sigh. According to the survey conducted, there was a close between her Uncle Chan and Bill Grey.
So Lana could not help but worry because if Bill Grey would win the election then their chance to uncover the truth about Gracy\'s involvement in the kidnapping of her mother and sister would just be buried and forgotten. The case would be closed with her father to be the sole perpetrator.
She believed it to be the truth too… It was not until recently where mom Chelsy recognized Gracy that she started being suspicious about her involvement. Because recognizing Gracy with the underworld people could definitely mean something big.
The kidnapping case was wrapped up so perfectly that she strongly believed that her father was not that capable enough to pull everything through with his limited resources unless there was someone powerful behind him helping him and they failed to uncover that person.
If that powerful person was Gracy, then it would not be a surprise if many important pieces of evidence were wiped out clean with the help of?Bill Grey closing the case with her father as the scapegoat.
She and Liam were anxious to make a move but both of them knew that it would be unwise to do so. The Military\'s plan was much better and safer so both of them had to stay put which was definitely a dilemma, though they tried hard for it to not affect their daily life.
"Zach is in close coordination with Liam and I\'m sure everything will be solved soon. I heard that they gathered the required evidence and hopefully, we can use it to bring justice to Auntie Ana. I already talked to my cousin Xander and his broadcasting network is just waiting for Zach\'s green signal.
Gavin too is on standby. Liam would surely tell you the details after talking to my husband.\'\' Keira briefed Lana about everything she knew, after noticing how her friend suddenly spaced out.
Every one of them wanted her father to win because he was loyal and faithful to the country and it would be easy to receive justice if her father won the presidency. Everything would work out how it rightfully should…
Lana smiled faintly at Keira. Then upon realizing how Xander and Gavin would get involved in the plan should it pursue, a heap of concern and worry crossed her face.
"Will it be okay? It may cause a huge loss to Xander and could turn bad for Gavin too," Lana asked. Xander held the majority of shares in the company left by his late cousin Bernard and he willingly offered his help to bring down Bill Grey using Cooper network while Gavin, the man was so brave and generous to use his image to deliver the truth to the people.
"Nah, it\'s nothing. It\'s not even a loss to Xander. He is the man of the hour… A superman does not know the meaning of the word loss for doing what is right and just. Hey... My father who is his uncle-in-law is running for Presidency so he\'s too ecstatic in moving mountains up and down to make sure that the election will be fair and square." Keira said giggling.
"I\'m really grateful for your help Keira," Lana expressed. Her eyes were tearing up. She was too grateful to be surrounded by such wonderful people and friends like Keira and others.
Keira pulled Lana into a hug as the latter let go of her emotions and started crying. Keira gently patted her back and whispered, "This is nothing compared to what you guys did for me back then when Zach was in danger… You did not care about your life being in danger just to help me and be with me, Lana. It\'s really a small thing to do for my family. We are family and we will be there for each other no matter what."
Her friend Lana already suffered a lot in her life but she was glad Lana remained strong and stood tall to where she was now. There were many ups and downs but she overcame it and here she was, back with them.
Keira gently pushed her and wiped the tears on her cheek as she mumbled, "Fix yourself and keep your emotions in check for now because later we will need to show a lot of forced smile to that b*tch. Remember, they must not know that we are planning something for them. We will just surprise them when they least expected it…"
Lana nodded. Soon they finished lunch and went back to work double-time since today would be the last day of the campaign.
They were outside for another parade when Lana asked the driver to stop the car and drop her off because she suddenly craved for ice cream when she saw her favorite ice cream parlor.
"I will follow you soon," she told Keira before going out of the car, knowing where the parade would stopover.
As soon as she went inside, her brows furrowed upon seeing Gracy sitting inside. She and a few other women were talking while eating ice cream. The women were obviously part of Bill\'s campaign team as they all wore green shirts representing Bill\'s color. Chan\'s team used pink color since it was Keira\'s favorite and she was wearing the same shirt as Chan\'s supporters.
Lana wanted to turn around but Gracy already saw her. Schooling herself to maintain a poker face was never a problem for her since it was a part of her training in the special military force. But this time since her emotions were involved, faking a smile towards Gracy was a big struggle, knowing Gracy could be the mastermind behind her mother\'s kidnapping that led to her death.
"Oh hello there Lana. It\'s so nice running into you like this," Gracy amusingly said with a smirk as she stood from her chair and approached her.
