Chapter 49: I Feel Like You’re Lying

Book:Fallen Heir Rising Published:2024-6-5

“Damn!”
Everyone was shaken.
Just a moment ago, Nehemiah was in the limelight, ordering with authority.
Now, he was a lifeless body…
It was too shocking!
Nehemiah’s power was terrifying. Protected by hundreds of skilled bodyguards, how could he be easily killed?
But he was dead.
“Who on earth has the ability to kill Nehemiah?”
“This is too terrifying!”
“Could it be related to the bounty?”
Speculations were rampant.
But!
Not a single person dared to make a move against Charlotte’s family!
Emma and Emery were preparing to pack up and go into hiding. Rashad was drenched in cold sweat when his phone rang loudly. He quickly took it out and glanced at the screen.
His expression changed from blankness to shock!
“Nehemiah… is dead! We don’t need to run anymore! Nehemiah and his many henchmen were wiped out by a mysterious force…”
Upon hearing this news, the others trembled. “Is it true?”
“It’s true. If you don’t believe it, see for yourselves!”
After watching the video, hearts of Charlotte’s family skipped a beat!
What on earth happened?
Just a moment ago, Nehemiah was confidently issuing the bounty. But now, someone had beheaded him and posted it online…
“That was close… Phew… I thought we were done for,” Emma exclaimed, patting her chest in lingering fear, then sat down with a thud.
They had narrowly escaped! Fortune was on their side!
Charlotte clenched her fists. Could this matter be related to Quentin? It couldn’t be that coincidental.
After about fifteen minutes, Quentin arrived looking disheveled. Seeing that they were safe, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“How dare you come here?” Emma was furious. She picked up a cup and threw it directly at Quentin!
“You almost got us killed!” Rashad was itching to teach him a lesson. “Who gave you the audacity to come to our house?”
Quentin dodged the cup and stepped forward. “Mom, Rashad, Nehemiah has been taken care of. You don’t have to be afraid anymore.”
“You…” Emma was trembling with anger. “Luckily, we were fortunate!”
“Get out! Don’t come near us again, or we’ll end up being killed due to you sooner or later.”
Quentin wryly smiled, “Actually, I…”
“Was it you who killed Nehemiah?” Charlotte suddenly asked.
Quentin let out a long sigh, unable to hide it any longer. “Yes, it was me.”
Upon hearing Quentin’s voice, Emma, Rashad, and Emery chuckled after a brief moment of bewilderment…
“All you know how to do is brag! What else can you do?”
“You have no shame… daring to take credit for this achievement? Disgusting!”
“Who do you think you are, killing Nehemiah? Nehemiah is the tyrant of our Stresall! He could crush you with a flick of a finger…”
Emery coldly sneered, “You’re shameless. I actually thought you might change for the better, but you’re still shamelessly arrogant…”
Disappointment filled his face.
As for Rashad, it was impossible for him to believe Quentin’s words anymore.
“Daddy is a great hero!” Janessa raised her head. “He’s our great hero who protects us!”
“It must have been Daddy!”
“I believe it was Daddy!”
The two children idolized Quentin and their eyes were full of admiration.
Quentin smiled. As long as the two children approved of him, he didn’t care what others thought!
Seeing Quentin openly admit it like this, Charlotte became skeptical…
“Are you really telling the truth?”
In fact, Emma’s analysis was correct. Given Quentin’s current condition, how could he possibly contend with Nehemiah? It was completely impossible!
She questioned, “This time, why do I feel like you’re lying?”
