Quentin felt extremely uneasy after the sudden disconnection of the call. Riya had been taken away, which was already dangerous, and now she wasn’t answering her phone. This made him even more anxious.
From what he knew, Ameer was not a kind person. If Riya fell into his hands, it would not end well for her. The most terrifying part was that Riya had already been taken, and he had no idea what was happening to her. He needed to get there immediately; otherwise, who knew what Ameer might do to Riya?
Taking a deep breath, Quentin’s gaze turned icy. Ameer was more dangerous than Jaime. Jaime was insidious, but his power was limited, making him less of a threat compared to Ameer. Ameer’s actions were more reckless and extreme, posing a greater threat to Quentin and those around him. This was something Quentin could not accept. Therefore, Ameer, this potential danger, had to be eliminated.
Meanwhile, Ameer stared coldly at Riya, his eyes filled with a mix of amusement and questioning. “Why didn’t you answer the phone just now?”
Riya remained expressionless. “I’m going to die anyway. What’s the point of answering the phone? Does it matter?”
Her calm demeanor only fueled Ameer’s violent intent. He grabbed Riya roughly, his wolf-like eyes flashing with danger. “I bet the person calling you is the one who conspired with you to kill my brother, right? It seems you really want to protect him. What a joke! I want to see if this guy has the guts to come save you after hearing you’re about to die.”
“You-” Riya was horrified. “Don’t go too far!”
“Slut!” Ameer threw her to the ground, his voice icy. “Why are you so worried about him? Is he your paramour? I heard you’re a single mother. Can’t stand the loneliness and found yourself a paramour? If I let my men have their way with you, do you think he’ll come?”
“You’re shameless!” Riya trembled with anger. “Don’t forget the clothes you’re wearing!”
Ameer sneered. “You’re naive! My brother is killed by you. Why should I adhere to any moral constraints? Should I consider your feelings while taking revenge on you? Ridiculous! As long as no one knows about this, I’ll still be the high and mighty Ameer when I walk out of here. And you all will die here.”
“Power is the only real currency in this world!”
Riya laughed coldly. “Jaime was a beast who deserved to die.”
“Shut up.” Ameer walked over coldly and took the phone from her hands, glancing at it with amusement. “Quentin? This name sounds familiar. Wasn’t there a guy from the Howard family who went to jail named Quentin? I can’t believe my brother ended up being killed by such a loser. What a pity!”
In Ameer’s eyes, although Jaime wasn’t a hero, he was at least a formidable figure. It was a disgrace that he fell to such a nobody.
Thinking this, he picked up the phone and dialed the number.
Quentin was restless but received an incoming call at that moment. It was from Riya!
His heart skipped a beat as he quickly answered. “Riya, where are you? Did those guys do anything to you?”
“Riya… you call her so affectionately,” came a sinister laugh from the other end. “She’s fine for now, but soon, something will happen!”
