Hearing this, Charlotte was slightly taken aback. “If he’s your boss, why would he send someone to assassinate you? This Mr. Edwards is really despicable.”
Riya gave a bitter smile and said, “Yes, we have some grudges. The enmity between Urijah and me also involves some company and personal interests…”
Seeing her hesitation, Charlotte quickly said, “Riya, the most important thing right now is to get you healthy. Don’t worry about anything else.”
“We will take good care of you.”
“And as for this Mr. Edwards, daring to hire a killer so brazenly, we will find evidence and let the law punish him severely.”
Riya smiled bitterly and slowly said, “Urijah is ruthless beyond imagination. Besides, when he did this, he must have planned his escape route.”
“Trying to catch him red-handed is nearly impossible!”
“The scariest part is that even if Urijah is convicted, with the Edwards family’s power, they can easily cover it up or even turn black into white.”
At this point, Riya felt utterly helpless.
The Edwards family was vast and powerful. Although she had some money and connections outside, these were all accumulated while working for the Edwards family. She couldn’t use them now.
Because her opponent was her boss.
How could these so-called friends offend the Edwards family for her, just a pawn? It was impossible.
So now, Riya was just a helpless woman.
Even though the Edwards family had threatened her to this extent, she still couldn’t resist, which was truly despairing.
She felt an intense sense of helplessness…
Soon, her phone rang. She answered it, and her face gradually turned grim. After hanging up, Riya smiled bitterly.
“As expected… I just had a car accident, and they told me that the cause was the driver having a history of mental illness. It’s a civil case and can be settled privately.”
Saying this, she felt even more helpless. Urijah wouldn’t leave any evidence?
This driver was definitely hired by him, but now it’s being ruled as a mental illness case, making it impossible to convict him, let alone catch the mastermind.
However, she had anticipated this situation.
The Edwards family truly had far-reaching influence.
She couldn’t possibly fight them. If she tried, she might not even know how she died. But to just submit like this, she was really unwilling.
Moreover, she wasn’t alone; she had her daughter. If Urijah was ruthless enough to target her daughter directly, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
So now, she was also hesitant. Urijah dared to target her; he probably wouldn’t spare her daughter either.
Her eyes were filled with worry.
But involving Quentin and Charlotte made her feel guilty.
After all, the Edwards family wasn’t just any small household but a top-tier family in Stresall!
Who would dare to oppose them?
She couldn’t push others into the fire pit.
Charlotte smiled and said, “Riya, are you worried about your child?”
“How about we help you bring your child to another place for now? It’s indeed not very safe for her to be alone at home.”
Seeing that Charlotte had read her mind, Riya’s heart was moved but she still hesitated and asked, “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for you?”
“The Edwards family is not to be trifled with. I’m really sorry to involve you. You’ve already saved me and brought me to the hospital; I’m very grateful.”
Charlotte smiled and said, “It’s no trouble at all. We can bring her to our home. The three kids can keep each other company; they’re classmates anyway. As long as you don’t mind our humble home and your child being a bit aggrieved!”
With tears in her eyes, Riya felt deeply moved. “Thank you, Charlotte. From now on, I will treat you as my sister! I will remember this kindness!”
In her current situation, ordinary people would avoid her like the plague; who would dare get involved with her?
But Charlotte and Quentin were offering help in her time of need; this was not something just anyone could do!
“Alright!” Charlotte smiled. “From now on, you’re my sister!”
“Riya, you rest well first; we’ll go get your child.”
“Okay!” Riya wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
She had raised her child alone with great difficulty, relying only on herself. Now targeted by such a powerful family as the Edwards family, she was nearly in despair. At this moment, Charlotte and Quentin extended their helping hands.
She felt warmth in her heart…
After getting the address, Charlotte and Quentin headed directly to their residence. Aubree and Riya lived in this neighborhood.
It took them only about ten minutes to get there.
However, just as they reached the entrance of the neighborhood, they saw several stern-faced men carrying a black sack out of the gate.
Quentin’s eyes narrowed immediately: “Charlotte, wait here for a moment!”
He quickly walked over.
He reached out to tap one of the men’s shoulders. The man was startled and turned around fiercely, glaring at him with cold eyes.
“Gentlemen, where are you rushing off to? Need a ride?”
