Rachel had heard that Logan was known for being upright and unyielding, never showing favoritism to anyone. No matter how wealthy or powerful someone was, they couldn’t exploit any loopholes with him.
“How arrogant,” one of the two men muttered under their breath.
Rachel ignored them and picked up her phone to call Logan. The call lasted barely two or three
minutes.
After hanging up, Rachel walked over to the two men.
“Your superior will be calling you shortly to explain the situation. Please continue questioning him here for now. Don’t take him away yet.”
“Are you joking? We’re acting under orders from our superior to arrest your father, and now you’re telling us not to take him in?”
“Don’t interfere with official duties, or we’ll have every right to arrest you too!”
As they spoke, the two men moved to brush past Rachel.
She had no choice but to block them. “I’m serious. Just wait two more minutes. The call is coming any moment now.”
“Step aside!”
These two were used to enforcing the law and didn’t bother listening to her. One of them reached out to push past her.
Rachel wasn’t a match for the two grown men. She stumbled back a couple of steps, losing her
balance.
But the pain she expected didn’t come. A pair of strong, steady hands caught her around the waist, stopping her from falling. A cool scent mixed with the faint aroma of tobacco washed over her. It was somehow familiar, as if she had smelled it before.
Sometimes memories just surged out of nowhere.
She quickly dismissed the thought. It couldn’t be. She and Tyler had barely interacted in the past, and she was certain it had been William who saved her from the fire. She hadn’t even known Tyler
back then.
“You okay?” Tyler asked softly.
Rachel snapped out of it. “Yeah, I’m fine.”
Tyler helped her stand upright. He then turned to the two officers who were still trying to push forward.
He reached out and shoved them back, his expression dark and unreadable. His cold, intense presence made it impossible to ignore him.

“Even if you’re here to do your job, that doesn’t give you the right to use force, especially against a
woman.”
The two enforcement officers recognized him. After all, there wasn’t a soul in Yurelia City who didn’t know who Tyler was.
“Mr. Hunt, we’ve tried reasoning with this young lady, but we’re on official duty. Please don’t make this harder for us.”
Rachel spoke up again. “Your superior said he’ll call you the moment he wraps up what he’s doing. Can’t you just wait two more minutes?”
“We’re here to enforce the law, not to give you people special treatment. We’ve got other tasks waiting. We don’t have time to waste here.”
The two men tried again to push forward, but Tyler blocked them completely. His piercing gaze locked onto them, and he spoke with quiet but powerful authority.
“Are you sure you want to go against the Hunt family?”
In Yurelia City, Tyler was a force to be reckoned with. No one dared cross him. Even the officers had to think twice, especially since there were rumors that his family had strong military ties.
Offending them could very well cost them their jobs.
But this assignment came from higher–ups, and the media was already watching the case closely. If something went wrong, they’d be the ones taking the fall.
Once again, one of the officers said, “Please, Mr. Hunt, don’t make this difficult for us.”
