After hanging up the phone, Cedric, enduring severe headaches, rushed out of the villa and saw Hailey waiting by the roadside for a taxi, realizing she hadn't driven there. Feeling guilty for not being considerate enough, he quickly approached her.
"Hailey, there's trouble with Liana," Cedric said.
Hailey was checking the route for a taxi and immediately looked up upon hearing about Liana. "What happened?"
"Let's get in the car first," Cedric handed Hailey the car keys and held her hand as they headed back.
Once inside the car, Hailey learned that Liana had a court hearing with Tyler today. After the trial, Tyler wanted to take Liana away, but Will intervened. Tyler didn't say much and immediately resorted to violence, attacking Will. Chase stepped in to break up the fight but ended up injured by Tyler's bodyguards.
In B City, the Clowers family and the Howell family had a strong presence, so Tyler acted arrogantly and took Liana away. Chase had someone follow them, but they disappeared in a helicopter, and nobody knew where they flew off to.
After Cedric explained the situation, he took out his phone and contacted a group of people. Not long after, a fleet of luxury cars parked outside the hospital. Cedric, holding Hailey's cold hand, arrived at the hospital room to see the handsome but bruised Chase, with cuts on his lips and a black eye, which made Cedric furrow his brows.
"Don't you have bodyguards when you appear in court?" Cedric asked.
Chase, covering his chest that was kicked by a bodyguard, endured the pain and looked at the two people walking in, along with a group of rich kids from B City.
"I don't have the habit of being overly cautious," Chase replied. His family-the McCall family didn't officially acknowledge his existence; others referred to him as Mr. Chase out of courtesy. To him, he was just a lawyer, and since he was a lawyer, going to court was enough. Why bother bringing bodyguards?
"I'm not seriously injured. Mr. Webb took the brunt of it," he added.
