Chapter 74 Don't Be Afraid, I'm Here
Chapter 74 Don't Be Afraid, I'm Here
Liam's expression was gloomy all along the way. He pressed the gas pedal like crazy.
There were several instances when Caleb felt like he would fly out of the window. He finally understood today about centripetal force and centrifugal force which he had learned in high school physics! With the screech of braking, the car stopped abruptly at the gate of the police station.
Liam strode towards the police station with heavy steps like Asura who came from the hell. After he went in, his cold eyes swept across the crowd like sharp knives, and finally saw a door slightly opened, from which two female police officers walked out with Stella.
"Stella!" He couldn't help shouting.
Stella looked up upon hearing him.
The moment she met his eyes, the tears which she had been holding back for a day and a night gushed down. She threw herself into his arms, her tiny hands clutching his clothes tightly. Sensing the familiar and reassuring scent, the grievance in her heart suddenly stuck in her throat. She didn't dare to cry loudly but sobbed softly instead.
Liam stroked her back and comforted her in a low voice in her ear.
She kept shivering in his arms. He smoothed her messy hair. His heart ached at the sight of her red swollen eyes and pale face.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Stella felt reassured and nodded slightly.
Caleb walked over after completing the procedure. He was about to say something but was forced back by Liam's look. Caleb stuck out his tongue and stood resignedly at one side. Looking at the inseparable couple, he felt like laughing but didn't dare to, so he finally let out a few coughs.
Stella came back to her senses. She separated from Liam and turned to look at Caleb.
"This is..."
"This is Mr. Thompson, the lawyer whom I mentioned to you last time." Liam said quickly, "He specializes in providing legal aid to prisoners in prisons."
Caleb widened his eyes and roared in his heart. Since when had he, a barrister, become the bosom buddy of the prisoners?
Stella glanced at him gratefully and nodded.
"Honey, don't worry. Mr. Thompson will replace a way to clear your name." He looked at Caleb, "Right?"
Caleb was speechless. He let out a few hollow laughs and nodded vigorously.
"The bail procedure is completed. Let's get out of here and replace a place to discuss about this."
"Yeah, alright."
Liam led Stella out by her hand. After a few steps, he paused and carried her in his arms. Stella leaned her face against his strong chest. Listening to his strong heartbeats, she felt like crying again. "Darling... how did you know about this?" She asked him sobbingly, "It happened all of a sudden, and you were in training, so I thought I couldn't contact you."
Liam put her into the car carefully, fastened the seat belt and gave her a gentle smile.
Caleb was driving. He saw this scene from the rearview mirror and cried for help in his heart... Must Noah show off his love?
God knew how madly did Noah rush to take the plane after learning of what happened to her.
Luckily Noah could not fly a plane, otherwise, the speed record of human flight would have been broken by him!
"Oh, actually the police contacted me and not Liam." Caleb smoothed things over for Liam as he saw that Liam was at a lost for answer, "When I filed the real estate lawsuit of your family as your lawyer, a record was made at the police station. So, if something happened to either one of you, the police would contact me first. Then, I contacted Liam."
"I see." Stella nodded slightly, "Mr. Thompson, I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble."
"Oh, it's okay. It's a lawyer's job to help people solve their troubles, otherwise I will lose my job, won't I?"
Liam made a loud cough. Caleb shut up at once and focused on driving.
"Darling," Stella told him in a very low voice, "I didn't say anything except that I didn't do it. Later they got impatient with the interrogation and mentioned you, saying that I should think about you and confess." "What did you say?"
"I kept quiet." Stella looked exhausted, but the fortitude and unyieldingness in her eyes were still clearly visible.
Liam's heart trembled, and he caressed her hair, feeling more pity for her.
If it were any other woman, she would probably have been frightened out of her wits by the interrogators and tell everything.
But Stella had an unyielding soul in her weak appearance. She would not admit to what she had not done even with a knife on her neck.
Liam curled his lips slightly. Stella was exactly the same as him in this respect.
As the saying went, birds of a feather flocked together.
"Well, you did a good job." Caleb praised, "Before the matter comes to a conclusion, the less you say, the better. Leave the rest to the lawyer, and you can save a lot of trouble!"
Stella leaned on Liam's shoulder. The road was bumpy, and Stella had been extremely tense being locked up in the interrogation room for a day and a night, so she felt a little drowsy now that she was relaxed, and soon fell asleep.
Liam patted Caleb, signaling him to drive more steadily. Then he hugged Stella tightly in his arms.
Stella did not open her eyes all the way home. Liam carried her into the house and put her on the bed in the bedroom. He took off her clothes gently, covered her with the quilt, looked around to make sure everything was fine, and then backed out slowly.
Caled sat on the sofa in the living room and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Boss," he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I dare not breathe in your house, lest I disturb your wife's dream..."
Liam immediately put on a cold and serious face, sat down on the sofa, and stared at him with deep eyes.
"What do we do about this case? Tell me quickly!"
"The best solution is to ask Stella to compensate the company for the loss to smooth things over." Liam glared at him angrily.
"You're a barrister, yet you can only come up with such a bad idea after thinking for so long!"
"Noah," Caleb said helplessly, "If Stella really gets into a fight with her company, it will do her no good at all. Although Rainbow Export is not large in scale, it is still a medium-sized company and has a certain status in Eldoria. If this matter gets out, no company will employ her in the future!"
"Take a step back, even if the law clears her up, the energy and time spent in the lawsuit will never be recovered! When she applies for a job in the future, what will other bosses think of her? You don't even think about all this, do you?"
"Noah," Caleb patted him on the shoulder, "Take it as a chance for her to learn from her mistake, so that she will beware of others in the future!"
"Hmph," Liam snorted softly, "If someone really wants to plot against her, it's no use for her to take every precaution!"
"So, do you mean to..."
Liam lit a cigarette and took two deep puffs.
He used to be on guard against Christopher in the Martinez family, yet he was almost killed by Christopher in the end.
What he has suffered and suffered,
He would never let his woman suffer what he had suffered!
"Anyway, Stella won't take the blame!" His tone was harsh.
"Not only must I clear my wife's name, but I must also make the perpetrators get out of Eldoria forever!"
