Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 577

As soon as Director Sherlock finished speaking, Jimmy pinched his eyebrows. With a helpless look on his face, Jimmy said, "She's just messing around. Are you playing along with her too?"

Before Director Sherlock could say anything, Ariah spoke unhappily. "What do you mean by I'm messing around?"

Was it that hard to trust her?

Although she was not as strong as men, she had strong brainpower.

Touching his nose, Director Sherlock wanted to see what Ariah could do. "Well, I have no other choice. As long as there is a way, we can give it a try."

Jimmy turned around and pointed at the chair not far away. Then, he beckoned Ariah to sit down, "Go sit tight and stop joking around."

"I'm not joking around. There is really a way!"

Jimmy cast her a glance. "What way?"

Ariah hesitated for a moment before suddenly standing on her tiptoes to approach Jimmy's lips.

Feeling awkward, David, Ben, and Director Sherlock turned their faces away and started

coughing.

Ahem...

Kissing each other whenever they had a disagreement? What the hell was that?

Unlike what they imagined, Ariah actually only brought her lips to Jimmy's ear and whispered.

After listening to Ariah's plan, Jimmy squinted and raised his eyebrows.

Would that method work?

Ariah returned to her original spot. Right when she was about to speak, she saw the guys looking away in embarrassment. Frowning, she asked, "What are you guys doing?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Without turning his head back, David asked back, "Erm, are you guys done kissing? Tell us when you're done."

Ariah asked, "Can you guys stop being so dirty-minded?"

"Weren't you trying to kiss Captain Hudson earlier?"

"I had something to tell him. Forget it. I'm too lazy to explain it to you guys. You two are so dirty- minded! Your minds are always occupied with dirty thoughts!"

David and Ben were left speechless.

Clearing his throat, Director Sherlock asked, "Well, lady, you just said that you know a way to make him speak. So what do you mean by that?"

Smiling, Ariah said nothing and walked straight up to Felipe.

Jimmy did not stop her this time.

Forget it, they should just try it out. What if her method really worked?

Jimmy silently stood at the side while Director Sherlock watched her curiously. Seeing that Jimmy did not stop Ariah, David and Ben knew that he agreed to Ariah's method. So, they stood aside and watched with their eyebrows raised.

Looking at the woman, who was smiling in front of him, he had a feeling that this woman was more terrifying than the men in the room.

"What... what are you trying to do?"

"Why are you trembling?" Ariah pulled over a chair and sat down in front of him. "I won't eat you."

Felipe was about to go crazy. "What on earth are you trying to do? I've told you that I won't say anything. I promised..."

"Felipe!"

Before Felipe could finish his sentence, Ariah abruptly interrupted him. She lifted her hand and placed it on his shoulder, staring at him with her dazzling eyes.

Then, she spoke softly into his ear.

"Felipe, what's your relationship with Ricco?"

She stared at Felipe, making him lose control of himself as he gradually fell deeper into her eyes. She looked like a soul-reaper who could control people's minds.

Felipe muttered to himself, "Ricco is my brother. He saved my life before."

David's eyes widened in shock, and he was about to curse. Suddenly, Ariah turned around and glared at him. Her gaze was sharp as she gave him a warning look.

Immediately, David covered his mouth, not daring to even breathe too loudly.

Once again, Ariah turned back and stared straight into Felipe's eyes. Then, she continued to ask in a gentle voice, "Can you tell me where Ricco and Kevin went?"

Glassy-eyed, Felipe muttered to himself, "They are in the hotel."

"Which hotel?"

"They're in the hotel," Felipe repeated.

Ariah frowned. Seeing Felipe repeating the same answer over and over, she knew that he obviously did not know the hotel's name.

Without asking any more questions, she lifted her hand and snapped her fingers in front of Felipe, as though she were turning off some sort of switch. Felipe's gaze gradually returned to normal.

Ariah stood up and turned around, only to find that everyone was staring at her.

Ignoring them, she went straight to Jimmy and shrugged. "You heard it. He said Ricco is currently in a hotel, but it seems like he doesn't know the specific details of the hotel."

Jimmy's eyes were fixed on her. After a long while, he answered, "Yes, I heard it."

Ariah was stunned for a moment. What kind of reaction was that?

Besides Jimmy's weird expression, the others were looking at her with a weird look as well. Blinking, Ariah asked, "What's wrong with you guys?"

"D*mn it..." Snapping back to his senses, David looked at Ariah, face full of admiration. "Ariah, you're so cool! What was that just now? How did you make this b*stard spill everything so easily?"

Felipe, who was sitting on the chair, was dazed. What did he mean by that? What was he talking about?

What happened to him just now?

Why couldn't he remember anything?

What on earth just happened?

Fear filled Felipe's eyes as he looked at Ariah. "What did you do to me?"

However, no one paid any attention to him.

Felipe broke down. "Do you guys hear me? Tell me what happened just now!"

Pushing him away, David ordered, "Stay aside!" Then, he approached Ariah. "Hey, how did you do that? I'm really shocked. Look at Ben. He's too afraid to talk to you now!"

Subconsciously, Ariah looked at Ben. Indeed, Ben took two a few steps back. A hint of uneasiness flashed through his eyes, yet he did not want to appear like a coward. So, he muttered, "Who's... who's scared?"

Of course, he was afraid. What exactly did Ariah do to make Felipe tell her everything? It was as though he was possessed for a moment.

Ariah burst into laughter, "It's just hypnotherapy. Don't be afraid."

"That's so cool!" David gazed admiringly at Ariah. "Can you teach me that, Ariah? Are you willing to take me as a student?"

"It takes years to learn this, and it depends whether you have the talent or not. If you're really interested, I can teach you."

"Okay..."

The next second, David felt Jimmy's cold eyes staring at him. Immediately, David backed off and quickly stepped aside. "Haha, let's talk about it another day..."

Director Sherlock gave Ariah a significant look and ordered, "You all heard what he said. Check all the hotels in Beachmarsh City. Don't miss out on a single one."

That was a difficult task.

They would need a lot of time to search all of the hotels in the city. Pondering for a moment, Ariah suddenly spoke, "I think I might know which hotel Ricco is in."

This time, not only David and Ben, even Director Sherlock was convinced by Ariah. "In that case, tell Jimmy the address, and I'll ask David and Ben to move immediately."

Ariah shook her head, "I want to go with them."

She wanted to see Kevin get caught with her own eyes. Otherwise, she would not feel at ease.

Upon hearing that, Jimmy, who had been standing aside and keeping silent the whole time, frowned. "Why do you want to go with them?"

Knowing that Kevin was worried about her, she quickly tried to convince him, "I have you to protect me, so I'm not afraid. Don't worry, I'll stick close to you!" "No!"

Gritting her teeth, Ariah threw a small tantrum. "If you don't let me follow, I won't tell you the address!"

"Nonsense!" Director Sherlock glared at Ariah.

Embarrassed, Ariah rubbed her nose. She really wanted to follow them.

"How about this? I'll let you follow Jimmy and the rest this time." Before Jimmy could speak, Director Sherlock spoke, "Jimmy, your job is to protect Ariah. That's it, let's move!"

Director Sherlock had the final word.

Ariah made a "yes" gesture.

Left with no choice, Jimmy had to take her with him.

All of them left, leaving only Felipe, who was still dazed, sitting on the chair. After coming back to his senses, he wanted to chase after them, but the door was slammed shut, and he was locked in the room.

Slamming his fist on the door, he shouted, "What on earth did you do to me just now?"

However, no one paid any notice to him.
