Chapter 593
In the corridor of the hospital.
While Howard held a cup of hot coffee in his hand, he walked toward Ariah and said, "Take this."
Then, Ariah looked up at him and accepted the cup of coffee. After she took a sip, she frowned, "Did you add sugar to it?"
"What's wrong?”
"It's too sweet."
"Don't you women love sweets?"
"Too much sugar will cause weight gain."
Furious, Howard uttered, "I personally took the effort to pour you a cup of coffee, and you're still complaining about it? Pfft, it's up to you whether you want to drink it then!"
At that moment, Ariah pursed her lips and remained silent. Slowly, she took a sip and asked, "How did you know Emily is angry with me?"
Now that she thought about it carefully, just now, Emily did seem to be targeting her.
However, Emily was aware of the relationship between her and Jimmy.
If Emily were angry at her, she would have been angry since the start. Why did she have to wait until today to lash out at her?
Then, Howard glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. "Shouldn't you be asking me how do I know that you and Kobi have such a good relationship?"
"Probably because of your cousin sister Hailee Perkins."
Shocked, Howard exclaimed, "F*ck, how did you even guess that?"
When Ariah saw how shocked he was, she was speechless.
Did he think that she was stupid?
Back then, Hailee and Ariah were schoolmates, and all thanks to Hailee, Ariah had mistaken Kobi for Jimmy.
As for Hailee, he had always been close to his cousin, Howard. Therefore, Hailee would definitely tell Howard all about Ariah's tiny little secrets.
So, Ariah was not surprised at all about how Howard knew that Ariah had such a relationship with Kobi in the past,
However, to Ariah's surprise, Howard managed to hold himself back, and he did not mention anything about her past to Jimmy.
"Since you know that I have a relationship with Kobi, why have you never mentioned it to Jimmy in the past few years?" Curiously, Ariah asked.
In fact, Howard didn't get along with her since the start, and they would quarrel whenever they met. Logically, according to Howard's character, he would have complained to Jimmy, but he didn't.
Immediately, Howard rolled his eyes. "Do you think I'm a person who likes to gossip and leak everyone's secret?"
At that moment, Ariah's heart was a little touched.
"To be honest, the reason why I didn't tell Jimmy is that I realized that you've been leading an honest and clean life, and you've never got in touch with Kobi in the past few years. Otherwise, as a close friend of Jimmy, I would've told him ago if you dared to cheat on him."
Again, Ariah was tongue-tied.
D*mn it, she was moved for no reason.
Immediately, Ariah kicked him, "Get lost. Let me be alone for a moment." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"You still don't understand why Emily is jealous of you?"
After what Howard said, Ariah was silent.
"Women get jealous easily. Think about Anna. Even though she doesn't have any relationship with Jimmy, can you really tolerate her?"
Suddenly, Ariah stuttered as she tried to find an answer to Howard's question.
"Put yourself into Emily's shoes and think about it, and I believe it won't be difficult for you to understand why she's jealous of you."
In a daze, Ariah looked at Howard. Although she felt that what he said made sense, at the same time, she felt that what he said was not right either.
"Carefully think it over. If there's anything you don't understand, come and find me."
Then, Howard looked at the time and said, "It's time for me to leave. I have to carry out a surgery later."
After Ariah sat on the chair for a long time, she slowly figured it out. After she let out a sigh, she suddenly thought of something, and her expression changed again as she hurriedly ran toward
Jimmy's ward.
It was a long time since she left his ward, and Ricco should be gone, but Jimmy had not his breakfast yet.
In fact, Jimmy would be irritated easily if he was hungry, and he would definitely scold her later.
When she returned to the ward, Ricco and Felipe had already left.
Meanwhile, Jimmy was on the phone. When he saw that Ariah had returned, he hurriedly hung up the phone after a few words with the person on the other side of the phone.
As he glanced at her, he said with a calm expression, "Wow, you still know that you need to come back?"
However, Ariah felt guilty in her heart, so she welcomed him with a smile, "You must be very hungry. Here you go. I specially bought some food for you. They're all your favorite."
"Put it there!"
"Okay."
"Where did you go?"
"Ricco told me not to disturb you, so I went to find Howard."
"What's there to talk about with him that you had been gone for nearly an hour?"
"No, it's not just that. Guess who I met on the way?"
As Ariah spoke, she opened the box of food, and she was greeted by the fragrance of the food.
With raised eyebrows, Jimmy glanced at her.
Immediately, Ariah stopped trying to keep him guessing, "It was Emily." "What's with her?" As Jimmy asked, he gestured for Ariah to bring breakfast over, so she immediately handed it over.
"She injured herself." With a frown, Ariah answered, "There's a wound on her brow ridge, but it's such a big wound that there was no way she could get herself into such a mess. But she insisted that it's all caused by accident."
For a moment, Jimmy remained silent before he asked, "So who do you suspect that hurt her?"
However, Ariah didn't say anything.
"Do you know where she got hurt?" Again, Jimmy continued to ask.
With a nod, Ariah replied, "She told us that she got hurt at the Hudson Family's villa."
Suddenly, Jimmy snorted and said, "There are only a few people in the Hudson Family. The servants can't hurt her, neither can my parents. You suspect that she didn't deliberately hurt herself, so who is the most suspicious person?"
Immediately, Ariah glared at him, "Don't try to induce me! It can't be Kobi!"
The smile in Jimmy's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Why not? Back then, in the hotel, he could even do such a thing to you. Can't he be the one who hit Emily?"
That response left Ariah in thoughts.
Softly, Ariah murmered, "They're about to get married soon, so why would Kobi hit her?"
This was also the reason she didn't want to believe that Kobi would hit Emily.
However, Jimmy just pursed his lips without a word. A light flashed in his eyes for a second.
In fact, Kobi's mind over the past few years had become even more treacherous and confusing.
Even Jimmy couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind.
At the Jones Residence.
At that moment, Ember was sitting on the sofa as she waited. After Hazel dropped the call, she walked over to Ember. However, before Hazel had the chance to say anything, Ember hurriedly asked, "How was it? Did Sharon agree to come over for dinner?"
However, Hazel shook her head and answered, "Lady Sharon said she doesn't have the time to come over for dinner today."
When Ember heard that answer, she couldn't hide the disappointment on her face.
Until now, Ember knew that Sharon still had a knot in her heart...
"Madam, you should've let me inform her that it's your birthday today. On account of your birthday, she would definitely bring Sadie and Seamus over."
However, Ember didn't allow Hazel to say that.
"I don't want to force her to come because she won't be happy even if I did. If she doesn't want to come to my place, I can't make things difficult for her."
Then, Hazel sighed.
At the Jones mansion.
After Sharon hung up the phone, she remained silent. In actual fact, she did not expect Hazel to call her and say that Ember wanted her to bring the children over to play.
Since Sharon didn't want to go, and she also promised the two children that she would take them out to play today, so she rejected Hazel directly.
Even if they didn't t talk face to face, Sharon could still hear the disappointing tone of Hazel through the phone.
Earlier, Hazel told Sharon that Ember missed her grandchildren very much, so she hoped that they would come over for dinner...
Without mercy, Sharon had rejected her request, which must have made Ember feel very sad...
After Sharon gave it a thought, she made another phone call.
In the Jones Group.
By the end of every year, the company staff would all have their hands full. That morning, Stanley had already attended several short meetings and dismissed a few problematic proposals. Meanwhile, the managers who were in charge of the proposals didn't even dare to breathe loudly when they faced the hostile-looking Stanley.
In their spacious office, even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Suddenly, Stanley's phone rang. Meanwhile, several managers personally watched how Stanley, who had an unhappy expression in the previous second, became as gentle as water after answering the phone.
