Chapter 163: Unexpected Help
Liam looked at her finding words to answer her. He looked shattered. His eyes moved from side to side as he was thinking deeply. He mumbled something as he wanted to say a lot of things, but she couldn’t hear anything.
She couldn’t bear to see the broken version of the man she loved and wanted to see in an exalted state.
Before Liam could compose his thoughts, the guard opened the door and barged in. "Get out! Time’s over!" he shouted.
Rory didn’t look at him. She hugged Liam. "I am not leaving until you give him something to eat. I will not let you kill him!"
The guard banged the baton on the table urging her to leave. Lawyer Watson entered the room and shouted at the guard that he cannot use force on a woman like that. He also noted the dire condition of Liam and stated the law to reiterate that he cannot be treated this way in police custody.
But the guard did not relent and focused on getting Rory out. Rory even in the commotion dialed Lennon.
"Uncle..." her voice could not overpower the angry shouts of the guard.
"Where are you?" Lennon grumbled. "Who is hurting you?" He shouted angrily.
The guard tried to drag her out and, in the scuffle, the guard grabbed her hair, and she squealed in pain. She lost the grip of her phone. "Help me!" she shouted before she dropped her phone. Still, she did not let go of Liam. As she watched, her phone got trampled in the boots of the guard.
At that time, lawyer Watson received a call, and he squinted his eyes seeing the caller-ID. He ended the call and tried to get the guard off Rory. He tried to convince Rory to leave the room, but Rory was not listening to him.
"Sir," Lawyer Watson’s assistant walked in. "The call..." she held out her phone. "It’s for you. Someone named Gordon Faraday wants to talk to you," she said. She did not want to disturb her boss but the person on the line had a commanding tone and insisted that he talks to her boss. She didn’t know what else to do.
"Gordon Faraday?" Lawyer Watson’s eyes widened. It can’t be him. He looked at his phone and then at his assistant. It is possible it is "The Gordon Faraday", the personal assistant of Jonathan Erling. It was noisy inside the room and so he walked out to answer the phone.
