Chapter 367 Patrick Yan Was Alive (1/2)
All of a sudden, Rachel's eyes became watery as she looked at Hiram. She breathed deeply and looked around.
”Don't cry, sweetie. Why are you crying?”
Hiram wrinkled his eyebrows and stared at Rachel. He held her into his arms and said,”I've already asked Luke to be your mother's lawyer. Trust me, he is capable of releasing her from prison within the shortest time.”
Rachel just shook her head. She didn't say a word, and just hugged Hiram tightly.
She knew clearly that no matter what he did, he would be the most embarrassed person in this predicament. It probably might be the most difficult thing he had ever dealt with.
If Hiram chose to be an enemy of Gavin and fight the latter in court, he would be an impertinent son.
And yet, Hiram chose to defend Fannie and stand by Rachel's side without hesitation.
”Alright, stop crying, sweetie. I'm off from work today. Let me show you around. They will begin working soon. It will be finished in two months if things go well. By that time, we can bring Jonny and Joyce here,”
Hiram said. He was holding Rachel's hand and explaining to her as he showed her around.

”Mr. Rong, someone wants to see you.” Chad didn't mean to interrupt them. But it was something urgent and he had no choice.
Hearing Chad, Hiram furrowed his eyebrows. He said to Rachel,”Wait here, honey. I'll be right back.”
”Who is it? What happened?” Hiram walked downstairs. Chad reported to Hiram as he followed him. ”Mr. Rong, Marcia Mo is here to see you in person. She said she had something urgent to discuss with you.”
Hiram reached the ground floor and saw Marcia sitting on the sofa, waiting for him. Seeing Hiram, she stood up. One of her arms was still injured and with thick bandages on it.
”What happened, Miss Mo? I thought no one could hurt you.”
Holding her injured arm, Marcia smiled bitterly. ”I'm not bullet-proof. Of course, people can hurt me.”
”Miss Mo, have a seat please.” Hiram sat on the sofa in front of her and asked Chason to make tea for them. ”What's going on? You came to personally see me. I guess, the things you want to discuss must be really important.”
