Chapter 30


    Isaac chuckled at how adorable Patricia was as she took off her high heels and charged into the brawl,


    looking ready to fight to the finish.


    Liam was amused, to say the least. It took a remarkable woman to make Isaac smile. Working with a


    living iceberg was tough, and Liam couldn’t count the number of times he had almost quit because of


    this.


    He hade rushing into the office as soon as he saw the video, and seeing Isaac chuckle like this


    made his effort worthwhile. “I’ll go bail her out right now, President Arnold,” he said when they got to the


    part of the video where Patricia was taken away by the cops.


    One could say he was fishing forpliments, but Liam liked to think he was actually paving his way to


    a better life. So, surely there could be no downside to bailing the future young mistress out of the


    holding cell now.


    When the video ended, Isaac leaned into his seat and narrowed his eyes in thought. He had to bail her


    out, which he was sure he would do regardless of what had happenedst night. She must be at her


    wits’ end right now, he thought. If he went down to the station to personally take care of the matter for


    her, then she might just forgive him for what he had donest night.


    He rose to his feet and dered, “I’ll do it.”


    Liam was stunned. He never thought he would live to see the day when the almighty President Arnold


    would go down to the police station to bail somebody out, but upon seeing that Isaac had made up his


    mind to go the extra mile for Patricia, he did not stop him.


    He would not stand in the way of a potential romance between his boss and the woman who might


    be the future young mistress of the Arnold household, so he hurried after Isaac and said, “I’ll have


    the car brought around right away, President Arnold.”N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    Isaac pulled on his ck coat and grabbed his car keys. “No need. I’ll go alone.”


    At this point, Liam could only stop and watch the intimidating man leave the office to save his damsel in


    distress. As he knew Isaac very well, he also knew that Isaac had probably already calcted his every


    move and weighed out all the consequences. If he showed up at the police station to bail Patricia out,


    there was no way she wouldn’t be grateful for his kind gesture.


    …


    At the police station, Patricia and Darcie had their statements taken. They spared no details as they


    told the officers how Zeke was a douchebag who turned his back on his family and refused to save his


    daughter’s life.


    While the cops were entirely sympathetic toward their situation and hated men like Zeke, they could not


    simply strike off the women’s offenses, which included battery and causing grievous injury. So, things


    were not looking good for them.


    It didn’t help that Zeke and Maya insisted on suing them. As things were, the police could do nothing to


    help the poor women.


    Presently, Patricia and Darcie were kept in the same interrogation room, where they would remain until


    somebody bailed them out. After this, they would have awsuit on their hands.


    Being thest one to enter the room, Darcie sauntered up to Patricia and said apologetically, “I’m so


    sorry for dragging you into this, Tricia.”


    The children would undoubtedly be wondering where they were.


    The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt, and she even gave herself a p. “I can’t


    believe I actually thought that scumbag would be better than this! If he had wanted to go for the


    Patricia wrapped an arm around her and said soothingly, “There, there. On the bright side, I had a


    pretty good time taking down those two jerks. I would have beaten them to death for Poppy if I could.”


    Despite the circumstances, sheughed and added, “Darcie, we’re best friends, aren’t we? I would


    have done this again in a heartbeat for you. Besides, we should really put our heads together and think


    of someone to bail us out.”


    Patricia did not have time to make friends or connections throughout her life. Instead, she was almost


    always on her feet, working multiple jobs to raise her three children.


    Her colleagues had invited her out to lunch and shopping sprees, but she turned them down because


    of her busy single-mom schedule. In the end, they stopped asking, and she slowly grew apart from


    them.


    Darcie was more or less in the same boat as Patricia. After her daughter fell ill, she borrowed money


    from friends and rtives on several asions. They eventually became wary of her and started


    avoiding her like the gue.


    As if reading each other’s minds, both women exchanged a nce and burst intoughter. We’re two


    peas in a pod, Patricia thought ruefully with a sigh. A self-mocking smile curled on her lips as she


    asked aloud, “When will we finally get our crap together?”


    Just then, the door to the interrogation room swung open, and two officers came in to announce,


    “Patricia, someone’s here to bail you out.”
