Standing outside the room, Leo saw that something was wrong and started moving towards the door.
But Luke stepped in his way, blocking the entrance.
"What do you think you are doing, Luke?" "It's just a spat now! We don't need to get involved.Just
relax!"
Luke said, an eager look on his face.
He was so excited that he grabbed hold of Leo's hand to prevent him from rushing in the room.
"My brother has gone to great lengths to win Wendy's heart.And now, that idiot is here looking for
trouble.Just let Ryan be the hero and save his lady.We two should stay out of the way!"
As soon as the last word left his mouth, Luke moved towards the ajar door and started watching the
events unfolding inside the room.
Leo just stood there frozen for a while.
But soon, Luke's words sunk in.
He turned towards the door, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and sneaked a peek inside
the room through the crack of the door, following Luke's lead.
In the room, Flynn was yelling, "Wendy, you bitch! You need to make a choice now! Which is it going to
be jail or me? Even you are not stupid enough not to know that marrying a rich man is the obvious
choice."
"A rich man?" Wendy sneered, "Don't flatter yourself."
"Come on, Wendy.Just face the facts.This city is full of affluent people, maybe hundreds of them, and
yet I am well-known among the elite.I am worth more than 100 million, remember? I am not flattering
myself.I am simply enjoying my position in society.Especially knowing that most people, including you,
will never see that kind of money in their whole lives," Flynn said with contempt.
"You should consider yourself lucky that I am offering to marry you."
"If I wanted to marry for money, I would aim for the richest man in the city.Not you, Flynn.You are not as
big a deal as you seem to think," Wendy retorted.
"It looks like you have already made your decision.Then don't let me keep you any longer,"
Flynn sneered, and gestured to the policemen behind him.The two men moved towards Wendy their
eyes fixed on her.
But just as one of them reached out to grab Wendy, a muscled hand snatched his arm away.
Catching sight of Ryan still in a hospital gown, the young policeman asked with a frown, "Who do you
think you are? Step back now.If you get in our way, we will arrest you too!"
Ryan took a good look at both men, his eyes cold and piercing.
The policemen could barely suppress a shiver.
Ryan's imposing manner had them both rooted to the spot, forgetting their orders to arrest Wendy.
"Who the hell are you?"
Flynn got a good look at Ryan then.
His brow furrowed with irritation and he snapped, "Damn it! You stay out of my way, do you hear me?"
‘Out of your way?’ Ryan raised his head and pierced him with a look of pure hatred.Flynn flinched
under the intensity of his gaze.
"I am warning you.Mind your own business, or else..."
He barely managed to stammer.
"Ow!"
Before he could even finish his sentence, he cried out in pain as Ryan kicked him away.
Flynn smashed into the wall hard, his face a mask of pain.
He shot a venomous look at Ryan and called back to the two policemen, "Arrest him! Both of them!"
The two policemen didn't waste another second.
However, in the blink of an eye, they were both knocked to the ground, moaning.
"How dare you assault a police officer! This is a felony! We can have you locked up for years," one of
the policemen growled at him.
Without even looking at the two men still lying on the ground, Ryan took out a wet wipe.He cleaned his
hands and then threw the wipe into the trash.
"Luke!"He called, turning his head towards the door.
“ I am here!"Luke pushed the door open and walked calmly into the room.
"Now fetch Cary Charles."
"I have called him already.He is on his way here as we speak."
‘Cary Charles?’ Flynn frowned upon hearing the name.For some reason, it sounded really familiar to
him.They all just stood there, waiting in silence.Roughly twenty minutes later, Cary Charles entered,
accompanied by a group of people.Charles was a middle-aged man, a few years over forty.He had a
square face that wore an austere, intelligent look.
When he entered the room, he took one look at the scene in front of him and seemed to catch on
immediately to what was happening.
But he was still a little blurry on the details.
He strode to Ryan and nodded with respect.
"Mr.Ryan, I came as soon as I heard you needed my assistance.
What is this matter of extreme urgency that requires my attention?"
Ryan glanced at the two policemen on the ground and then asked in a calm voice, "Are these two your
men?"
Cary Charles turned to look at the two young officers.
When he saw their fierce glares, he immediately shook his head and said, "No! Those two are definitely
not part of my team.I have never seen them before."
There was a great number of policemen in his station and he may not have known all of them.
But they all surely knew him.And no one that had known him-or known of him- would ever dare to look
at him that way.
"Seize them," Ryan ordered.
"You heard the man! Arrest them both.Take them down to the station immediately."
Cary Charles barked, waving his hand to his men behind him.
Four of them immediately seized the two impostors and put them in handcuffs.
On the other side of the room, Flynn, still lying on the ground, was frozen in utter shock! Once he had
caught sight of Cary Charles, he had finally understood why his name sounded so familiar.
‘That's him! The chief of the police department! His mind still numb from the revelation.He had tried so
many times to meet with Cary, get on the man's good side.But he had failed to make an appointment
each time he had attempted it.
Seeing Ryan and Cary Charles so comfortable around each other, Flynn was horrified.
He kept wondering who the hell Ryan was.
How could he make someone like Cary act so humbly in his presence? He was starting to panic.
All he wanted at the moment was to sneak out of the room silently, unnoticed by everyone.
"Don't even think about it."
Luke stepped on his back just as he started crawling away.
"You son of a bitch! Did you think you'd get away that easily? After everything you've done?"
"Who the hell are you people?" Flynn asked in horror.
"My name is Luke Oliver," Luke stated, looking at Flynn closely.
But Flynn was still wearing a confused look.
Everyone in the room was struggling to contain their laughter.
Luke's embarrassment started to be replaced by anger.
He grabbed Flynn by his collar and shouted, "Do you think this is a game? Pretending you don't know
who I am? You think this is funny? Are you looking down on me?"
"No, no, absolutely not!"
"Shut your mouth."
Flynn was too scared and confused to utter another word.
"Let me jog your memory then.I'm Luke Oliver.As in Oliver Group.Do you remember me now?"
Flynn eyes were wide.
Each breath of his came out short and labored.
He did remember the man in front of him now.
‘Luke Oliver?! Luke Oliver! No wonder the name rang a bell before, but I didn't remember it until just
now.
He is from that infernal Oliver Group!’ Flynn thought.
Everyone in the country knew the Oliver Group.
And Luke was the second son of the Oliver family. Flynn looked at Ryan, trembling from head to toe.
‘This man looks quite like Luke.So that means he must be the CEO of the Group, Ryan Oliver.He is
said to be the most ruthless man in the business world! I'm dead.’ Flynn's legs gave away from under
him.
He collapsed to the floor in a terrified heap.
Cary Charles gestured to his men.
"Take him down to the police station, too.There are some things I need to ask him."
Afterwards, the police chief chatted with Ryan for a little while, but seeing that the man’s temper hadn't
cooled yet, he hurriedly found an excuse to leave.
Luke was next to leave in a hurry, offering some lame excuse to be anywhere but in that room.
Soon the only people left in the room were Ryan, Wendy and little Raymond.
When all hell had broken loose, Wendy had covered Raymond's head with a blanket.
Fortunately, all the shouting had not woken the little boy up.
He was still fast asleep.
She would never have guessed that Flynn would dare hire people to impersonate police officers, just to
spite her.
No wonder these people acted like thugs instead of cops.
She glanced at Ryan and said, "So...Thank you."
She would have never gotten out of this situation by herself.
Ryan's name alone helped her stay out of trouble.
Ryan walked up to her in silence and held out his hand.
Wendy simply looked at him in confusion.
"What are you doing?"
"Well, I'm the richest man in the city.So, you better not miss your chance.Just snatch me up now,"
Ryan said, his eyes twinkling with amusement. Wendy could not form any sort of answer.
She was at a loss for words, completely and utterly.
