Riya’s entire face turned ashen in an instant, the feeling of suffocation making it impossible for her to breathe. Yet, staring at the ferocious face before her, she remained incredibly calm, as if she were not the one about to die.
The choking sensation lasted for several seconds. Riya’s face had turned bright red, but she showed no panic, as if resigned to her fate. This demeanor made Ameer’s eyes grow even colder. “Good! Very good! You really are a tough one. But let’s see how long you can last.”
He slowly released Riya. She gasped for air, and after a moment, a graceful smile appeared on her lips. “Mr. Edwards, I have nothing to do with this matter and know nothing about it. Even if you kill me, I can’t tell you anything. You can’t just accuse someone without evidence.”
“Stubborn!”
“Do you really think the war department’s torture is a joke?”
“Ridiculous!”
“I don’t believe you can keep this secret forever. I’ll pull out your nails one by one, knock out your teeth one by one, and let you feel the pain of a thousand poisons piercing your heart!”
“Let’s see how long you can hold out.”
Riya smiled faintly. “Whether I can hold out or not is my business. No need for you to worry, Mr. Edwards. But if you think you can get anything out of me, you’re dreaming.”
Quentin had saved her multiple times. If she betrayed him now, how could she ever face them again? Quentin must not be implicated in this!
“Slap-”
Ameer was furious and slapped Riya across the face, leaving several bright red marks on her cheek. “Let’s see how long you can stay stubborn. Soon enough, you’ll regret it!”
His eyes flashed with a vicious light. He knew that Riya alone could not have taken down his brother so easily. Someone must have helped her from behind. He had to find that person and avenge his brother! Better to kill the wrong person than let the culprit go free! He had to start with Riya; there was no other way.
Riya was actually very anxious inside, but what could she do now? She had to tough it out. Betraying Quentin was simply not an option.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Devon struggled to crawl to the bedside, enduring the severe pain in his body, and dialed Quentin’s number.
“Quentin, something terrible has happened. My sister has been captured.”
“The situation is very dangerous now!”
“Who dares to be so bold, abducting someone from a hospital in broad daylight?”
Quentin frowned. If this was true, then the other party was indeed audacious.
Devon gritted his teeth and said, “That guy is Jaime’s brother, calls himself Ameer.”
“They were wearing war department uniforms, looked very imposing and arrogant, and threatened us with blood for blood. Quentin, I’m really out of options and had to ask for your help.”
“Please save my sister…”
Hearing this, Quentin’s eyes turned cold. “Don’t worry, I’ll bring your sister back safe and sound. So, the people behind the Edwards family have finally shown themselves.”
“It’s time to destroy the Edwards family completely!”
A cold gleam flashed in his eyes, filled with killing intent. He had heard of Ameer before. Years ago, he joined the military and had little contact with the Stresall Edwards family. However, the Edwards family had committed many evil deeds under his influence.
Now that Jaime was dead and Ameer had returned to Stresall seeking revenge so brazenly, it was typical of the Edwards family’s vile behavior!
If he had any sense of right and wrong, he wouldn’t have let the Edwards family commit so many atrocities under his influence!
With this thought in mind, Quentin’s eyes flickered slightly as he dialed Riya’s number. After several rings, the call was disconnected each time.
This made his heart sink with a sense of foreboding!
