Yes!
He had treated her with all his heart, never mistreating her for over a year!
In the end, she betrayed him for money and put him in a deadly situation!
But that wasn’t the worst…
What broke his heart the most was that she even tried to stab him with a knife…
All because he didn’t want to die!
She didn’t want to die.
Did Devon have to die for her?
If Quentin hadn’t intervened at the last moment, he would have been stabbed several times.
And now, this woman had the nerve to ask him for help? Where did she get the audacity?
Devon took a deep breath. “Your other leg still works. Walk yourself to the hospital. It’s none of my business.”
“And…”
“If you ever dare to plot against me again, or put my sister in danger, I’ll kill you first!”
“I mean it!”
With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Aviana alone, struggling to kneel on the ground… as miserable as a dog.
Soon, Quentin and his men left the place. Aviana, enduring excruciating pain, limped away, almost fainting from the agony!
But she had no choice. If she didn’t leave, she would face even bigger trouble.
Soon, a group of people arrived, cleaned up the scene as if nothing had happened.
An announcement was quickly made: Jaime committed suicide after killing someone due to a dispute over interests.
This news caused an uproar in Stresall, turning everything upside down!
The head of the Edwards family, dead?
Suicide out of guilt?
Impossible!
But the announcement came from an authority even higher than the police. They didn’t dare question it or think too much about it. They just knew that Stresall was about to change drastically!
In the Edwards family mansion, the news caused an immediate uproar.
Jaime was dead.
The family was leaderless!
In no time, the Edwards family was in chaos!
Jaime’s wife, Gloria Larson, nearly fainted upon hearing the announcement…
“Impossible!”
“Absolutely impossible!”
“There must be something behind this!”
She collapsed on the sofa, her eyes vacant. Although their relationship had been strained over the years, there were still feelings involved. Now that Jaime was dead, she found it hard to accept!
More importantly, with Jaime gone, how could she maintain her position as the matriarch of the Edwards family?
“He must have died of persecution! I need to call Ameer and get justice for his brother!”
Gloria’s voice was icy.
She took out her phone and dialed Ameer’s number. Ameer answered quickly.
“Gloria, what’s going on?” Ameer’s voice was still as cold as ever.
But today, he felt an unusual sense of unease. Jaime had just called him yesterday, and now Gloria was calling?
What was going on?
He had a bad feeling about this!
“Ameer, your brother is dead!”
Gloria’s crying voice came through.
That voice exploded in Ameer’s mind like thunder!
“What?!”
A surge of immense anger filled his chest, making him radiate with murderous intent!
“How could my brother be dead?”
“He wanted something from the Shannon family, so he kidnapped their brother to threaten them. Then we got news that he’s dead…”
“I don’t believe it…”
“He must have died of persecution…”
“It must be that bitch Riya who killed him! Ameer, you have to get justice for your brother! He died so horribly…”
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry!”
“I’ll return to Stresall immediately and get justice for my brother. No matter who the murderer is, I’ll kill them and make them regret ever being born!”

In the hospital, Riya and others watched the news in astonishment. They hadn’t expected Jaime’s death to be ruled a suicide by such an authoritative department.
How did Quentin manage that?
