Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 569

As soon as Howard left, the ward quieted down instantly.

Shaking her head, Ariah sighed. Howard was a playboy who would hit on a girl every time he saw one. However, he would mercilessly dump her after making her fall for him.

Why was he hitting on girls if he was not going to marry them?

A man like him should stay single for the rest of his life.

Looking at the expression on Ariah's face, Jimmy knew that she was secretly mocking Howard again. "He's a celibatarian, so he doesn't have any plans to get married. I don't think he'll be able to change his flirty personality."

Pursing her lips, Ariah said, "He'll regret it when he meets someone he really likes."

Stunned for a moment, Jimmy lowered his gaze to look at Ariah.

Back then, he did not expect that he would fall in love with Ariah as well. Love always came at the most unexpected time.

"Where are your two colleagues, David and Ben?

Ask them to come in," Ariah suddenly said.

Frowning, Jimmy asked, "Why do you want to see them?"

Ariah shook her head casually. "Nothing much. I have something to ask them."

"About what happened in the hotel?"

"Yeah."

"I've already figured out the whole situation. If there's anything that you're curious about, you can ask me." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Lifting her blanket, Ariah got out of bed. Seeing that, Jimmy immediately pulled her back onto the bed and said with a frown, "Stay on the bed!"

"Get out of my way!" Ariah was furious. "I understand you want to defend your colleagues, but those bastards set me up and drugged me. If I don't get even with them, I'll eat my hat!"

Ariah caused quite a ruckus. Upon hearing that, Ben and David, who were standing outside the door, trembled.

Sh*t! It seemed like Ariah was furious. They thought they were going to be done for.

Ben and David looked at each other and said, "Should we escape?"

However, they would appear too timid if they did that. It was not manly at all.

"Or should we go in?"

The atmosphere in the ward was already tensed. They might be doomed if they went in right now.

Caught in a dilemma, Ben and David could not think of a solution. In the end, Ben gritted his teeth and closed his eyes as he said. "Screw it! We got nothing to lose!"

With that, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Meanwhile, Jimmy was trying to stop Ariah, who was outraged. Seeing his subordinates coming in, he laughed. "Are you guys trying to get yourselves killed?"

Once Ariah got really mad, even he could not stop her, let alone Ben and David.

Trembling, Ben said, "Ari... Ariah, it's all our fault. We're willing to accept all forms of punishment."

Standing next to Ben, David nodded repeatedly. "Yeah. As long as you're willing to forgive us, we'll do anything."

Pushing away Jimmy, who was hugging her, Ariah snorted, "Whose idea was this?"

"Both of us."

"Is Jimmy involved?"

"No, no. Captain doesn't know anything!"

Ariah pursed her lips, "Then why did Kobi..."

Hearing that, Ben told them everything, from how Kobi picked up Jimmy's phone, how they did not worry too much as Kobi was Jimmy's brother, to how he left the hotel, subsequently causing Kobi to enter Ariah's room and nearly putting Ariah in danger.

After listening to the whole story, Ariah looked at Jimmy. Jimmy nodded, "They're telling you the truth. They won't dare to lie to you."

Ariah frowned.

She had been wondering why did Kobi appear in the hotel room. So that was the reason why.

However, why did Kobi come to the hotel to look for her?

Taking a deep breath, Ariah tried to put her doubts aside. After tidying up her clothes, she sat up on the bed. Suddenly, she said, "Is there any water here? I'm a little thirsty."

Before Jimmy could react, his two subordinates got into action. "Yes, yes. What do you want to drink, Ariah? Plain water or any beverage? We'll get them for you."

"Plain water will do."

"Alright!"

Immediately, David ran off to get Ariah water. After getting the water, he respectfully handed Ariah the cup, "Ariah, please have some water."

Ariah rolled her eyes at him. "Don't think I'll forgive you if you act nice."

"Uh, I..."

Ben and David shifted their gaze toward Jimmy. With a sigh, Jimmy turned his face away, not wanting to bother with them.

They should take responsibility for their own mistake!

Frowning, Ariah put down the cup in her hand. "Why is this water so hot? It's undrinkable."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Immediately, Ben took back the cup. "David can't do anything right. I'll pour you a cup of warm water."

Then, he ran off to get another cup of water.

After letting out her anger, Ariah got up and walked towards Ben and David. "Do you still have the drug with you?"

"Yes... there's still a bit left, but Ariah, you can rest assured that we will never do such foolish things again. We swear there's no next time!"

The two of them swore solemnly.

Ariah nodded, "Where's is it?"

"Huh? What?"

"Didn't you say that you still have the drug that you gave me?"

Ben and David were both not fools. Upon hearing Ariah's words, they immediately realized that she had other motives. Of course, they dared not give her the drug.

"Ariah, why do you want the drugs? I mean, we do have it, but it's not with us now."

"Do you expect me to believe that?"

"It's true!" Ben started panicking. "If you don't believe me, ask Captain Hudson. We really don't have it!"

Looking at his two subordinates hinting at him for help, Jimmy had no choice but to step forward and defend them. "You've already vented your anger, and they've already apologized to you. What's the point of getting the drug from them?"

That was also what Ben and David were concerned about. Those drugs were no good. Ariah had already experienced it once, so she should hate those drugs. There was no reason for her to keep the drugs.

Looking at the suspicious gazes of the three guys, Ariah smirked. "Well, an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. I'm going to treat them the same way they treat me."

Jimmy was taken aback.

Ben and David were still confused. "What do you mean, Ariah?"

Smiling gently, Ariah said, "Do you want me to forgive the both of you?"

"Of course! If you don't forgive us, we won't be able to sleep in peace tonight!"

"Sure. I'll forgive you."

"Really?"

"Yes." Ariah was still grinning happily. "If you obey my orders, I will forgive both of you completely."

"What is it, Ariah? Tell us."

Jimmy turned away as he could not bear to see his foolish subordinates. Ariah was trying to set them up, yet the two of them were giggling cluelessly.

They were going to get it soon.

Tilting her head, Ariah said in an innocent tone, "It's nothing difficult. Just take the drugs you gave me, and lock both of yourselves up in the same room for one whole night. Then, I'll forgive you."

The ward fell dead silent.

Eyes looking glazed, Ben and David could not believe what they just heard.

Two grown men locked up in the same room for a night after taking aphrodisiacs?!

Ariah was so cruel!

She was deliberately screwing them over!

Almost kneeling, Ben begged, "Captain, we know our mistakes now. Please ask Ariah to cut us some slack. I'm a straight man. I don't want to stay in one room with David!"

David kicked Ben and said, "Pfft! As if I do!"

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Jimmy beckoned the two guys. "Alright, you two may leave."

Ben and David, who were frightened by Ariah's evilness, had long wanted to run away. Upon hearing what Jimmy said, the two of them scrambled out of the room without even looking back.
