Chapter 117:
“Rylie’s out of her mind p>
“Does she think being Brad’s chief physician means she can do whatever she wants p>
“They really need to rethink trusting someone like her p>
The murmurs picked up again. This time, most voices leaned toward the Wildes. And just as the room swelled with noise, the clock struck two. Sirens echoed in the distance.
Rylie lowered her eyes and smiled. “Right on time p>
Outside, police cars pulled directly onto the estate lawn. Everyone inside the hall turned toward the windows, watching as officers in black tactical gear stepped out.
“Did she seriously call them?” someone whispered. “But that was so fast! She just made the call p>
Gasps turned into whispers, then full-blown chatter. If Rylie was dragged out now, the seat as Brad’s physician would be up for grabs.
Even Marsha looked thrilled. She leaned toward Rylie and mouthed, “You just ruined yourself p>
The front doors swung open. A tall officer marched in, gaze firm, shoulders squared. The room tensed.
No one spoke. They waited for him to name Rylie.
“Ms. Evita Wilde. Miss Marsha Wilde,” the officer said clearly, his voice firm and steady. “We’re with the Economic Crime Investigation Division, Special Action Unit. You’re both under arrest for medical fraud and illegal practice p>
Evita froze. Her voice barely made it out. “There’s a mistake. You must be confused p>

One of the officers stepped forward with cuffs in hand. “You’ll need to come with us p>
“No! I want a lawyer! I’m not going!” Marsha’s voice cracked. But she didn’t get far. A tall officer forced her to the floor, cuffed her without hesitation, and led her out in disgrace.
Whatever plan she had to win over Brad with her credentials had completely collapsed.
The room was frozen. Not a single person moved.
The police, expected to arrest Rylie, had instead removed two Wildes. Even Leland — still employed by VitaLink and closely tied to Marsha — was brought in for questioning.
