Chapter 103: His Lies
He should have had his phone with him and the cops would have been able to figure out where he was at any time.
She was about to ask him about his phone, but before that, he continued.
"...I remembered turning to leave. But I don’t know... I must have passed out..." he placed his hand over Rory’s shoulders as she widened her eyes. "I was very drunk..."
Rory wanted to shout at him. If someone else was saying this same story to her, she would roll her eyes and think that was very convenient for him to pass out right at that instance when Laura Brown disappeared.
But this is Liam. He should be telling the truth.
"How long were you out?" Rory asked.
"For more than 20 minutes... 30 minutes, probably..?" Liam said. "I know, Cherry. I know what this sounds like. But~"
"What happened next? Where were you when you woke up?" Rory asked.
"I was leaning on a dumpster near that old building and... my friends who were joyriding found me. We then went back to barhopping and I returned home in the early morning, around..."
"5:30," Rory said as he could see that Liam does not remember when he came home.
"I could not fall asleep the whole night because you weren’t with me. I woke up hearing the door open and talked to you. You didn’t answer me and slept on the couch. After waking up around 12, you walked out, without saying one word to me. You came home late that night and every night after that. And..."
Then he asked for divorce!
