Chapter 1293
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

"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." 1
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. 3
His claim of bombing a place couldn't be taken lightly as a joke. After all, the national military authority
was in his hands!
Despite Wayne's hostility toward Arlandia, he had no means to provoke the country directly. His plan
was to simply build up a few military bases around the country.
If a war broke out, Carathia would be at a disadvantage, considering that the Arlandia and Veutron
were on friendly terms.
Completely stilled by the surprise, Olivia exclaimed at how nice it was to have power for the first time
ever.
She put her life in danger just to steal that ring, and yet, the Heaths could bomb the enemy's army base
easily. 1
Regardless, it felt nice to have someone worried about her. "Thank you, Uncle Linus." 1
Linus glared daggers at Wayne.
"I don't know what got you all suspicious about Liv stealing your ring, but how could you detain her
simply with those towels and toothbrushes? It's not strong evidence."
Even without Linus' help, Olivia should be able to get away with this. The evidence Wayne had wasn't
sufficient enough for him to detain her.
It was a mere mind game. He was playing tricks to make her stay.

So what if Wayne wouldn't admit his defeat? All he could do was to release her.
"Sorry." Wayne made way for them.
"Sorry for my incompetence. I don’t even have enough evidence, and yet, I misunderstood Ms.
Fordham." "You think an apology can make up for the harm done? Wayne Maxwell, you better give me
a satisfactory explanation for this, or I will steer your army bases into an empty land."
Linus then wrapped his arm over Olivia's shoulders.
"You must be scared back there, Liv. Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one will hurt you."
They boarded the plane.
This time around, it was a huge defeat for Wayne. His ego took a hit, and he had offended the Heaths
at the same time.
Watching the plane take off, Alan spoke up, "Looks like our guess is wrong.
How could Ms. Fordham be Septem? But why is she one of the Heaths?"
Wayne sneered. "I think it is true that she's one of the Heaths, but... if she wasn't Septem, would Linus
have shown up in person?"
