The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 121

Madeline Monroe arrived at The Gilded Bean, and the lawyer she had appointed was already waiting.

She glanced down at Liam Lennox's profile on her phone, secretly marveling at his credentials. At barely thirty, he was already a renowned, top-tier defense attorney with a flawless track record and an impeccable reputation.

Without a web of elite connections, booking a consultation with him would have been impossible.

Fortunately, Madeline had the right network, and only a lawyer with such a stellar resume could earn her trust.

She pushed open the doors to the cafe and stepped inside.

Liam stood tall, briefcase in hand. He wore a sharply tailored dark suit, his handsome features framed by thin wire glasses that gave him a calm, scholarly air. He radiated competence.

Madeline walked over with a polite smile and extended her hand.

"Mr. Lennox. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Madeline Monroe."

"I gave you a brief overview of my friend's situation when I booked the appointment."

Liam assessed the woman before him. She wore a simple green blazer over a white silk blouse, a delicately patterned scarf tied at her neck. Her luminous complexion and elegant posture gave her an effortlessly refined, almost ethereal presence.

He pulled his gaze away and gave a slight nod.

"I remember. The case is complex. I'll need you to fill me in on any other details you have."

"Of course."

Madeline gave him a rundown of the events leading up to Piper's imprisonment, probing him on various legal intricacies.

Liam answered each question patiently. His gaze kept drifting back to the earnest woman across from him, a spark of genuine admiration flickering in his chest.

He hadn't expected Madeline to go to such lengths for a friend.

He was already familiar with the whispers surrounding this case.

The Channing family wielded immense power; digging up enough evidence to fight them would be a monumental task.
