Thinking of this, Quentin’s eyes turned cold. Could the Edwards family really be so ruthless?
They even sent someone to ambush Riya here. Without thinking further, he kicked open the bathroom door and walked in with a stern face.
However, after a quick glance, he saw no one else.
At that moment, Riya’s delicate body was lying on the floor.
Her beautiful figure came into view.
Quentin’s mind went blank, and a rush of heat surged from his feet to his heart!
He took one look and immediately felt hot and embarrassed, quickly retreating.
“Sorry, Riya, I thought you were in danger.”
“I didn’t expect…”
Riya hadn’t expected her panicked scream to bring Quentin crashing in, seeing her completely exposed. Although she tried her best to cover her private parts, much of her body was still visible.
Her pretty face flushed with two shades of red, showing a shy and girlish demeanor.
Her heart pounded wildly.
Quentin, outside, felt deeply ashamed and explained, “Riya, I… I didn’t mean to. I thought there was someone from the Edwards family inside.”
“I overreacted.”
Riya’s whole body was burning, especially her cheeks and ears, which felt like they were on fire. She said softly, “It’s not your fault.”
“I fell down myself. You don’t need to apologize. I know you’re not that kind of person.”
“People say that if a woman isn’t peeked at by a man in her life, that’s real sadness. It seems I still have some value.”
Riya tried to ease the awkwardness with a joke.
Quentin laughed, “Riya, you’re joking. A mature and independent woman like you has many admirers. You’re better at taking care of people than those young girls.”
Riya chuckled, “What do you mean by ‘better at taking care of people’?”
Quentin looked embarrassed, feeling the topic was too suggestive. He decided not to continue and changed the subject, “Since you’re okay, I’ll go back and wait for you.”
Riya had already come out, wearing a light white dress that blended her mature and charming aura with a touch of purity and brightness. It was very alluring. Even Quentin was momentarily dazed.
Riya seemed to notice the fleeting confusion in Quentin’s eyes and couldn’t help but smile faintly, lowering her head.
She couldn’t destroy the relationship between Quentin and Charlotte, but she did have feelings for Quentin.
Now, she could only bury these feelings deep in her heart.
Charlotte treated her very well. If something happened between her and Quentin, could she live with herself?
Besides, Quentin might not even be interested in her. She knew he was a man of principles and boundaries, which was precisely why she admired him so much.
“Let’s go see Devon!” Riya thought of the scene where Devon was tortured by Ameer before she was taken away, and her eyes turned cold again.
The Edwards family!
From this moment on, she and the Edwards family were irreconcilable!
Ameer was dead, and the biggest threat from the Edwards family was eliminated. Now it was time for them to strike back.
“Let’s take my car. Yours is too dangerous. I have a spare one.”
“Alright!”
Quentin took the keys from her hand.
At the hospital, Devon breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Quentin and Riya were safe.
But the situation still made him anxious. They had escaped this time, but what about next time?
Ameer was a Captain in the war department.
They couldn’t just deal with him like they did with Jaime; that would be a serious crime.
But if Ameer didn’t die, their troubles would never end!
This time, his leg was broken. Next time, it might be their lives.
Ameer was truly capable of such reckless disregard for human life!
The nurses and doctors around him were doing their best to treat him, applying medication and setting his leg in a cast, but Devon was too worried to care.
Soon, Quentin and Riya arrived, and he forced a smile.
“Riya, Quentin, how was it resolved?”
