Olivia and even Wayne were taken aback by Linus' appearance. What was he doing here?
He stood as the pillar of strength and a consoling figure in Arlandia. Why was he away from the country?
Besides, Wayne couldn't understand what Linus meant by that, as he thought that Olivia was one of the Fordhams.
Even though she was Ethan's ex-wife, the only powerful family she was acquainted with was the Miller family.
Astonished, Olivia looked at Linus. "Mr. Linus, what brings you here?"
He walked up to her and stroked her head.
"I had to handle something, so I stopped by to see you. If I hadn't come over, I wouldn't have known that you were being bullied. Liv, is it this hard for you to mention that you're one of us?"
Wayne asked, "She's…"
Linus and Ethan stood side-by-side, protecting Olivia behind them.
"She's my niece. My father plans to make an announcement soon, but this brat prefers a low-profile life.
"Wayne Maxwell, do you think that my family would travel so far away just to steal a ring from you?"
"Uncle Linus…" She tugged at his sleeve, feeling uneasy.
Would it bring the Heath family any harm for revealing her identity?
Turning sideways, he caught the concern resting in her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, Liv. You don't have to steal rings from others. If you take a liking to a base, name it. I can drop a bomb for you."
Everyone drew in a sharp breath, shocked by her privilege from such a loving uncle.
Fortunately, the reporters weren't here to hear this. Otherwise, this remark would've become the headline for international news.
Linus' identity held more weight than Ethan's.
His claim of bombing a place couldn't be taken lightly as a joke. After all, the national military authority was in his hands!
