Jane is so incredulous that she forgets to struggle and resist.
Has Edward died?
She murmurs in a daze, "No, it can't be so fast. How could it be...?"
Although she has been secretly drugging Edward, the medicine's effect is gradual and would not kill a person at once.
She originally intended to increase the drug effect after Duke successfully marries Annie. When Edward becomes dizzy and could not read clearly, she could reasonably suggest Edward hand over the family business to Duke.
But she never thought Edward had died so suddenly.
"Mom!"
Duke hears Jane's voice and runs to the study in a hurry.
When he walks in, he sees a team of policemen standing in the study beside Aaron and Katrina.
And his mother, who is being handcuffed, is under a tight grip by the police.
Seeing this scene, Duke is shocked and hurries in.
"What are you doing? You let go of my mother!"
Duke tries to save Jane. Aaron looks at him coldly and says, "He is an accomplice. Take him with you!"
