Urijah initially wanted to resist, but the man in black coldly said, “If you dare resist again, this time, it won’t be a hole in your leg but a hole in your head. Try me if you don’t believe it.”
This chilling voice made Urijah’s teeth chatter. He could only accept his fate.
He couldn’t understand how Quentin’s place suddenly became a heavily guarded war department site. He didn’t believe it.
The Howard family had no background; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been driven to desperation by the top four richest families.
And now, this guy dared to act so arrogantly in front of him?
Moreover, he had orchestrated this to get him captured?
Urijah fell into Quentin’s hands, feeling extremely unwilling.
A few years ago, he was trampled under Quentin’s foot, powerless to resist. Now, he was once again outsmarted by Quentin and had a leg crippled?
How could he be content with that!
However, Urijah wasn’t afraid. The Edwards family was not only wealthy but also had elders in the war department with significant positions.
What did he have to fear?
As soon as he got inside, he could get out quickly with just a phone call.
And by then, Quentin would be dead for sure!
He glanced back venomously, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
Quentin chuckled softly, not taking Urijah’s cold gaze to heart at all.
This guy was almost dead and still thinking of threatening him? Not killing him now was just to use him as bait. The Edwards family had deep roots in Stresall; how could Charlotte establish herself without thoroughly defeating them?
As for the direct members of the Edwards family who participated in persecuting the Howard family, he wouldn’t spare any of them, including Urijah.
So, he thought he could get out? Wishful thinking.
As long as Quentin didn’t relent, Urijah would never get out in this lifetime.
Unfortunately, Urijah was still fantasizing that some elder in the war department would rescue him. It was utterly ridiculous.
The Edwards family received a phone call.
The head of the Edwards family looked grim. The more he listened, the more serious his expression became.
His brows furrowed deeply.
After hanging up the phone, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light burst forth.
“Urijah broke into the Howard family’s mansion and was arrested on charges of trespassing on a war department site?”
“The ones who took action were from the war department?”
He pondered for a moment and then sneered, “Playing tricks.”
“The Howard family is finished. Only the children of the Howards are left, and they’re nothing but trash. How did these two bastards manage to get the war department involved?”
“But…”
“Do they think they can scare us like this? Do they really think the Edwards family is that easy to intimidate? They’re too naive. However, since this involves the war department, the Edwards family alone can’t handle it. It seems we need Ameer.”
Jaime Edwards thought for a moment and then dialed Ameer Edwards’ number.
“Jaime, what’s up?” Ameer asked.
“Ameer, I need to tell you something…” Jaime explained the situation briefly.
Hearing this, Ameer’s brows furrowed slightly. “Alright, I’ll make a call and ask.”
“And Jaime, things haven’t been peaceful lately. Even though I’m a high-ranking officer in the war department, getting caught up in this could still affect me.”
“I understand…” Jaime nodded repeatedly. The Edwards family’s matters shouldn’t involve Ameer directly, but there was no other way now.
Although Ameer couldn’t intervene directly, he would certainly help because of their family ties. If anything happened to the Edwards family, Ameer would do whatever it took to assist them.
However, the information Ameer soon relayed back made Jaime’s face darken!
“What? They won’t release him? Not even your influence works?”
Ameer replied calmly, “It’s fine. It’s just a matter of different departments. Once I finish this small task on hand, I’ll go back personally. They’ll definitely give me face.”
“For now, let Urijah stay inside for a few days and learn his lesson.”
“He acted too recklessly; it’s good for him to suffer a bit.”
“That’s all we can do.”
Jaime nodded.
For now, there was no other way! They could only wait.
He waved his hand and called someone over. “What’s going on with Riya? Has she made up her mind? I gave her time to think; it’s not for her to take advantage.”
