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 Ste.
"Ste!" He couldn''t help shouting.

Ste 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 andforted 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."
Ste felt reassured and nodded slightly.
Caleb walked over afterpleting 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 likeughing but didn''t dare to, so he finally let out a few coughs.
Ste came back to her senses. She separated from Liam and turned to look at Caleb.
"This is..."
"This is Mr. Thompson, thewyer whom I mentioned to youst 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, be the bosom
buddy of the prisoners?
Ste nced at him gratefully and nodded.
"Honey, don''t worry. Mr. Thompson will find a way to clear your name." He looked at Caleb, "Right?"
Caleb was speechless. He let out a few hollowughs and nodded vigorously.
"The bail procedure ispleted. Let''s get out of here and find a ce to discuss about this."
"Yeah, alright."
Liam led Ste out by her hand. After a few steps, he paused and carried her in his arms. Ste 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 ne after learning of what happened to her.
Luckily Noah could not fly a ne, 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 estatewsuit of your family as yourwyer, 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." Ste nodded slightly, "Mr. Thompson, I''m really sorry for causing you so much trouble."
"Oh, it''s okay. It''s awyer''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," Ste 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." Ste 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 Ste 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. Ste 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 matteres to a conclusion, the less you say,
the better. Leave the rest to thewyer, and you can save a lot of trouble!"
Ste leaned on Liam''s shoulder. The road was bumpy, and Ste 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
rxed, and soon fell asleep.
Liam patted Caleb, signaling him to drive more steadily. Then he hugged Ste tightly in his arms.
Ste 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 tough 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 Ste topensate thepany for the loss to smooth things over."
Liam red at him angrily.
"You''re a barrister, yet you can onlye up with such a bad idea after thinking for so long!"
"Noah," Caleb said helplessly, "If Ste really gets into a fight with herpany, it will do her no good
at all. Although Rainbow Export is notrge in scale, it is still a medium-sizedpany and has a
certain status in Eldoria. If this matter gets out, nopany will employ her in the future!"
"Take a step back, even if thew clears her up, the energy and time spent in thewsuit 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, Ste won''t take the me!" 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!"
