Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Many knights.

The two guilty officers shared a similar look of fright on their faces. Like bullies that had met a bigger bully, they were desperate to escape.

“Sir, we didn’t do that, we…..”

“Where is she?” David tore through the police station suddenly.

With his white hair and familiar face, all the police officers recognized him immediately and a few almost fell over themselves rushing to help him.

‘Mr. Saxon…”

“Phoebe, Pheebs…” David called for Phoebe loudly, as he looked through the bars of the holding rooms were criminals were locked up before being released or sent to jail.

Phoebe turned around to avoid being seen by him. Why was he the one to show up when she was in such a situation?

[How embarrassing! Why is he shouting like as if he is looking for his missing kid? And why is he here? Has news of my arrest already traveled?]

With her red hair, she could not hide and he saw her easily.

“Pheebs!” he shouted in relief and run to her. He turned her around and looked at her in dismay. “Bloody hell! Why are her hands in cuffs? Take those off her.” He ordered the policemen as if they were his personal servants.

While other policemen were confused, Shark was not and he un cuffed her quickly.

“What happened? Who did this to you? I am taking you to a hospital right now.” He took her hand to lead her out.

They didn’t go far because one of the arresting officers stepped in their way. “Mr Saxon, the order to arrest this woman came directly from the commissioner. She commited a crime so you can’t take her away.”

Even if the woman couldn’t be booked under a fake name, she could still be booked under her real name. The commissioner was also more powerful than the deputy chief.

He spoke with a lot of confidence which triggered David for he raised his clenched fist only to be stopped by Phoebe.

“Stop it! I want to know my charges first because I don’t understand why he insists on arresting me.”

She also spoke with confidence, impressing David as she was completely different from the woman he knew. The past Phoebe was a meek person but this one standing before him was assertive and not afraid of danger.

Nevertheless David was undeterred, he was determined to prove to Phoebe that she could rely on him.

As if on cue, six men dressed in expensive black suits approached them. Phoebe recognized the leader of the group, Mr Cornwell. He was the leading lawyer from T&C law firm, one of the most prestigious law firms in the country, also it was the firm that represented the Saxon group and family during legal battles.

“It’s good that you are here, I want to sue the police for wrongfully arresting my woman, causing her emotional distress and abusing her physically.”

“And sexually.” Shark helpfully added. “Those two pinched her buttocks.”

David growled and leaped but Shark and Amon stopped him.

David’s index finger pointed at the two men that were now trembling and sweating. “By the time i am done with both of you, you will be sleeping on the street and eating from trash cans.”

The bravado of the two officers had started to waver. It was one thing to sue whole police station and it was another to be sued individually for sexual harassment and use of unnecessary force during an arrest. Moreover, if she was David Saxon’s girlfriend, even the commissioner would not save them.

“Sorry sir, it was an accident…”

“Cornwell..” David didn’t care to hear any apologies. All he wanted was to finish this and get Phoebe out of the station.

The lawyer understood without David explaining much. “What are the charges…”

Police chief rushed in before Cornwell’s question could be finished. “We are sorry for the inconvenience Mr. Saxon but the charges have been dropped.”

His words took them all by surprise, these said charges had not yet been explained to them and they were already dropped? Was it a result of the influence of the Saxon family?

David banged the table which caused the Chief to tremble. “What are the charges and who filed and dropped them?”

The Chief had just arrived so he knew nothing about this case outside the phone call he had received asking him to hurry and release Phoebe. So, he asked the officers in charge of the case to brief him.

One of the officers, the one Shark had called Sully came forward but remained at a distance because David was glaring at him. “Miss Phoebe Hopkins is….was being charged with inciting suicide. The person that reported the case was Mr. Edward Mayfair and the victim is Miss Ruth Mayfair.”

Phoebe laughed lightly. “I am sorry but are you telling me that Ruth actually tried to commit suicide just because I told her to die?” She spoke unintentionally without knowing that she was incriminating herself.

The police chief raised his brows. “Miss Hopkins are you confirming that you indeed incited suicide?” His widened eyes were fixed on her.

Mr. Cornwell jumped in and told Phoebe to remain silent. “The case has been dropped, just in case you need to question Miss Phoebe here again do not do it in the absence of her lawyers. If you talk to my client again without my authorization, i will sue you. If you visit her place of work to question her without going through me, i will sue you. If anything about this unfair arrest is leaked to the press, i will sue you. If the two officers who assaulted my client so much as breathe the same air as her, i will sue the department” He took out a card and gave it to the chief.

[Lawyers!] Phoebe shook her head. “Who dropped the charges then? Was it Ruth?”

Shaking his head, the Chief spoke. “It was Mr. Edward Mayfair himself, Miss Ruth Mayfair is still unconscious as we speak.”

The answer shocked both David and Phoebe because they couldn’t understand why Edward would drop the charges when his beloved daughter was unconscious.

“Sir, i think we should go now.” Mr. Cornwell told David.

David put both hands around Phoebe, providing support in case she was too weak to walk on her own. They left behind a lot of bewildered police officers who were sifting through the sudden information dump from what they had witnessed.

As they were leaving the station, Collin Baltimore arrived. He had heard about all that had happened at the cafe and he came as fast as he could.

“Excuse me, i am here about Phoebe Hopkins. I heard she was arrested and brought here. I have brought lawyers and i can pay the bail if necessary.”

He handed a business card to the desk sergeant and pointed at the three lawyers he had brought.

“She is already gone, David Saxon beat you to it.” Amon shared from where he was standing.

Collin rushed out, without saying anything else. The lawyers he brought shrugged and followed. They had already been paid and there were no reimbursements.

“Those lawyers, that’s Max Gold of Gold and sons law firm. Holy cow, who is that guy?”

The desk sergeant was already searching for information on Collin Baltimore online.

“Collin Baltimore, the son of the CEO of Baltimore industries in Eagle country.” he shared loudly.

Many of the police officers gasped. Baltimore industries was just like Saxon group. They were quite comparable in wealth, influence and many other things.

The chief looked at Amon, his deputy chief. He like many didn’t understand why all these men had rushed to Phoebe’s aid.

“Who is this woman?”

Amon laughed and replied, “A shaman.”
