“You! You! You!” Urijah trembled all over. Was this guy crazy? He actually pulled out a gun?
What was going on?
Before he could say anything, the other party had already pulled the trigger, and the bullet whistled out!
“Bang-”
A soft sound echoed.
Urijah’s eyes widened, a bright red hole appeared between his brows, and blood flowed out…
His body collapsed to the ground with a thud, blood splattering on the wall behind him!
Until his dying moment, he never thought his life would end like this. He hadn’t lived enough!
“Foolish creature.”
The middle-aged man looked at Urijah’s corpse without any emotion.
“Come in and clean this up.”
The man turned and walked out.
A group of people rushed in and dragged Urijah away…
The news of Urijah’s death quickly reached the ears of the Edwards family.
Additionally…
Another piece of news arrived…
Ameer was also dead!
They were utterly shocked!
The successive news hit Gloria like a bolt from the blue!
“I don’t believe it!”
Ameer was the Captain!
Who would dare kill him?
And Urijah was Ameer’s nephew. Who would dare kill him? It was suicidal!
She couldn’t believe such facts!
But in this situation, how could she not believe?
Her hands trembled as she dialed Ameer’s number. No one answered.
She put down the phone in despair, her eyes filled with fear and hopelessness…
Soon, her phone rang.
“Mrs. Edwards, your son is dead. Please come to identify the body.”
“Your son was involved in trespassing on an important base and attempting to assassinate a key figure. He has received his due punishment. My condolences!”
Gloria’s phone fell to the ground.
She was dumbfounded.
Her son was dead?
Really dead?
She couldn’t accept such a blow!
What was going on?
She picked up the phone with trembling hands, “You’re talking nonsense! My son can’t be dead! Absolutely impossible…”
“I will appeal…”
“I will accuse you of murder!”
“This is outrageous!”
“Do as you wish. Everything we did was legal and compliant.” A cold voice came from the other side, “If you don’t come to claim him within a day, we will proceed with cremation.”
With that, they hung up.
Dare to go after Quentin?
If this got out, countless people in Striudan would want to kill her!
Urijah, Jaime, and Ameer all deserved their fate.
After all, someone like Quentin, who held immense power, was the backbone of Striudan. Harboring ill intentions towards him endangered the entire Striudan. They deserved to die.
Gloria was devastated, aging decades in an instant, and finally broke down in tears…
When the Howard family perished, the Edwards family took a large share. She was so happy she couldn’t close her mouth for days, thinking they deserved it.
Unexpectedly, when it was the Edwards family’s turn, their end was ten times more tragic!
In the following days, Time Group’s stock plummeted to less than twenty percent of its peak value!
At the same time, various departments took action, directly seizing all industries under the Edwards family.
Countless Edwards family members were thrown into prison.
A storm was brewing!
Time Group was officially declared bankrupt and sent to auction.
Generations of hard work by the Edwards family were completely wiped out!
The change came too quickly.
No one had time to react.
Among the top four richest families in Stresall, three had been wiped out, leaving only the Bradshaw family. It was truly lamentable.
Howard family.
Quentin received a call from Virginia, “I will get what you want. Time Group is about to be auctioned.”
“When the time comes, I will personally come to Stresall and transfer the property rights to the person you want to give it to. Are you satisfied now?”
Quentin was speechless, “You, a busy CEO, why lower yourself to come to this small place?”
Virginia chuckled, “I have to ask for some compensation from you.”
“Please don’t come.” Quentin was on the verge of tears.
“Alright!”
“If I don’t come, my people will still be there to get it.”
“Also, I assure you, if I don’t show up, Time Group’s shares won’t go to you even if they rot in my hands. Your choice!”
With that, she hung up angrily.
