Chapter 179
Liam, who had been pampered since childhood, had never experienced such a mess. Looking distressed, Cynthia took off his coat and threw it aside.
Then, Cynthia turned to look at those angry faces around coldly. Sometimes public opinion could be dangerous, and some–ignorant busybodies could easily be stirred up. “You’ve been led by the nose without knowing the truth. Is it worth getting into a lawsuit for someone you don’t know? There are surveillance cameras in the hospital. None of you can escape.” She took out her phone and called the police.
Hearing Cynthia was serious, those people lost their nerves and fled. Some of them were paid to deliberately take the lead in stirring up trouble while others didn’t have the guts at first but joined in the chaos following someone’s lead.
Cynthia wasn’t in a hurry. She took Liam back to the hospital and called Ziv. Ziv showed up at about the same time as the police. After Cynthia roughly explained the situation, she left the rest to Ziv.
The police knew Liam’s identity and dared not neglect the case. They went to the control room and found out those who had laid a hand one by
one.
The hospital director heard Liam was injured at the entrance and rushed over in a hurry. He got the best professor–level doctor in the hospital to examine Liam. There weren’t internal injuries but many bruises on Liam’s body, and one on his shoulder had even turned purple.
Cynthia was distressed with red eyes. She took the medicine from the nurse and carefully applied it to Liam’s wound. She said in a strong nasal voice, “Those people came for me. You didn’t have to
stand in front of me.”
Cynthia stood behind Liam. Liam couldn’t see her face and could only hear the remorse in her tone. He signaled the doctors in the ward to go out with a glance. Then, he turned around and put Cynthia on his lap. Maybe this action affected the injury on his shoulder, and he frowned slightly.
“Now that you’re injured, don’t hold me.” Cynthia felt distressed and wanted to stand up. Liam tightened his arms around her and whispered, “Don’t move.” Cynthia dared not move and sat on Liam’s lap obediently.
Liam buried his head in Cynthia’s neck and took a deep breath. Her light fragrance dissipated his irritability. He wondered what those people had thrown at him earlier, but the unpleasant smell lingered in his nose.
He buried his face in Cynthia’s neck and uttered

od and are now in the police station. What do you want to do with them?”
Liam ordered in a deep voice, “Lock them up as long as possible to teach them a lesson. And I’m injured now, which will affect my work. Ask them to pay for my lost wages.”
These people were stubborn. Although they had hurt him, they shared the responsibility and might only be detained for a few days each. They wouldn’t learn their lessons. But it was different to
compensate him for his lost wages. He was the CEO of Sullivan Group, Clusia’s leading enterprise, and the money he earned in a day was something those people might not earn in ten years. His lost wages could make some lose everything.
After receiving Liam’s order, Ziv looked at the people beside him, who were apologizing repeatedly, and felt sorry for them. “Mr. Sullivan, many people here are family members of the hospital’s patients. I’m afraid they can’t afford to pay for your lost wages.”
Liam narrowed his eyes and replied coldly, “Remember who you are. You’re my assistant, not a saint. These people who dare hurt my woman deserve to die a hundred times.”
Ziv’s hair suddenly stood on end, and his body unconsciously stiffened. “I’m sorry, Mr. Sullivan. It won’t happen again.” After hanging up he felt a layer of sweat on his palms.
The policeman waiting next to him immediately asked, “Ziv, what did Mr. Sullivan say?”

Ziv sighed and looked sympathetically at those who still didn’t know what happened. “Handle the case by law.”
“That’s good. These people will be released after a few days‘ detention.” The policeman secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid Liam would pursue the matter. Although these people acted crudely, they were all civilians who couldn’t withstand the slightest pressure from these big shots.
Before he was relieved, Ziv continued, “Mr. Sullivan said he’s seriously injured. He won’t ask these people for medical fees. But Sullivan Group is such a big company, and he’s injured and cannot go to work, so they need to pay for his lost wages for these days.”
“What?” The policeman suspected he heard it wrong.
“Mr. Sullivan’s lost wages, Ziv repeated.
“Mr. Sullivan’s lost… wages.” The policeman was so shocked that he slurred his words. “It’s more practical to lock these people up for two years.”
The group of perpetrators nearby hadn’t yet understood the seriousness of the matter. “Sir, since you’re told to handle the case by law, just do it.

How much can his lost wages cost? We can afford it. It’s worth it to beat that heartless woman up,” one said.
Another echoed, “Yes, this kind of people deserve a beating.” These people’s daily lives had nothing to do with the business world, and the business figures they had heard of were only some mid–level CEOs who appeared on TV. They just regarded Liam as an ordinary person.
The policeman looked at those stubborn people and shouted angrily, “Stop it! You will cry later.” Then, he told several colleagues, “Lock these people up and inform them of the specific amount of the lost wages when it’s confirmed.”
Several perpetrators in the lead were full of disdain. A man said, “What’s the fuss about? Are you afraid I can’t afford a little lost wages of his?” They showed no repentance at all.
Ziv couldn’t stand it and stepped forward to stand in front of that man. “Dude, do you know who you beat today?”
The man snorted, “Who can he be? He can’t be the president of a country, can he?”
“Well, he’s not. Have you ever heard of Sullivan Group?” Ziv asked. The man frowned and waited for him to continue. “An enterprise with a certain reputation in the world pays tens of millions of dollars in taxes a year. Can you calculate the profits he makes as the CEO in a day? I’m afraid you can’t pay for his one–day lost wages in your lifetime. You’ve got the nerve to talk nonsense here. How arrogant!”
The man’s face gradually stiffened. “Anyone can tell a lie.” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Ziv smiled speechlessly. “Why do you think the police called Mr. Sullivan for instructions when they arrested you earlier? Do you think an ordinary person will be treated like this?”
