Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 640

Immediately, Ariah urged Howard, "Then hurry up and give him a call."

"Okay." Then, Howard replied and took out his phone to look for the number.

As a few pairs of eyes were staring at Howard, it made him feel uncomfortable, so he cleared his throat and turned his back to them, not letting them look at his phone.

With a frown, Jimmy wondered what Howard was doing and what he was hiding.

In fact, Jimmy was surprised at how Howard actually recognized the person in the footage!

However, Ariah couldn't sense that Howard was trying to hide something, and as she saw him leaning to the side, she grew anxious and moved closer to him. "Hurry up and call him!"

Taken aback, Howard hurriedly shoved the hone in between his arms and stuttered, "I don't think the signal here is good. I'll go out and make the call. You guys give me a short moment and wait for me here..."

After that, Howard scurried out.

Stunned, Ariah blurted, "What?"

Did Howard just say that the signal was bad?

Since when was the signal in the surveillance room bad? It had obviously never been better than before!

Instantly, Ariah turned to look at Jimmy, "Is there something that he's hiding from us?"

Calmly, Jimmy nodded. "Yes."

Even Ricco narrowed his eyes slightly. "He doesn't want us to know the contents of the conversation that he would be having with the man on the phone."

That was why Howard was avoiding them.

Softly, Ariah muttered, "So mysterious. What the h*ll is going on?"

Outside the monitoring room, Howard called the number again. When he heard the beeping sound on the phone, his heart was perturbed.

A moment later, the call was answered, "Hello..."

"Where are you, Darren?" Straightforwardly, Howard asked, "Have you come to Beachmarsh City?"

On the other end of the line, Darren paused for a while. "How did you know?"

"I f*cking saw you on the surveillance footage, and now you're asking me how did I know you're here?" In a low voice, Howard growled, "Why did you come to Beachmarsh City? And why did you get yourself involved in the matters of the Hudson Family?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb. I've told you that I saw you on the hospital's surveillance footage. Are you only going to admit it when I show you the footage?"

After a moment of silence, Darren slowly said, "Yes, I'm here in Beachmarsh City."

"When did you get here?"

"Half a month ago."

This time, it was Howard's turn to be silent. "Did you come alone, or... did you come with him?"

"I came alone."

"Are you lying to me?"

"No, I'm not!"

"Then I'll believe you this time." Then, Howard switched the topic back to the footage. "What's your relationship with Kobi? Why did you take him away from the hospital?"

"Kobi? I don't know who Kobi is. The one that I took away from the hospital was Kevin. Kevin once saved my life many years ago, and since he is now in trouble, so I saved him to repay his kindness."

With a frown, Howard asked, "He's not Kobi? Then why did I see you leave with Kobi in the surveillance footage?"

"He was just disguised as Kobi. That's not the real Kobi."

"Then where are you now?" At that moment, Howard didn't bother to discuss anything else with Darren and directly asked where he was.

"Sorry, I can't tell you where I am."

"F*ck, what do you mean you can't tell me?"

"Kevin told me that he got into trouble, and he can't show up now, so I won't expose his location to anyone, including you."

"F*ck... How could you do this to me?"

"Sorry, I still have something to do. I'll contact you later."

"Hey, you..."

"Beep..."

A busy tone came from the other end of the line. It made Howard was so angry that he almost threw his phone away. How dare Darren actually dared to hang up!

When Howard tried to call him again, Darren simply refused to take the call.

"D*mn it!" This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

In a low voice, Howard cursed and was about to enter the monitoring room again. However, when he looked back, he saw that Jimmy and the others had come out at some point, and there were three pairs of eyes staring at him.

Startled, Howard asked, "Why are you guys staring at me like ghosts? Are you trying to scare me to death?!"

With an odd expression, Ariah looked at him. "Did you get the address?"

"No, that guy is not willing to tell me." Disappointed, Howard shrugged his shoulders. "I have already told you earlier that I might not be able to get the answer."

Sharply, Jimmy stared at him. "Do you know the man in the footage?"

"Of course I do. Didn't I tell you guys that he's a subordinate of the person I know?" As Howard answered, he tried to avoid eye contact.

"What's his name then?"

"Huh?"

"What's the name of the person that you recognize from the footage?"

Immediately, Howard glanced at Jimmy, "Darren."

As soon as Howard answered, Ricco, who was standing on one side, immediately rushed toward him with a serious face. "Are you sure it was Darren?"

For a second, Howard was confused. "Yes, I'm sure it was him. What's wrong with the name Darren?"

When Ricco turned his head to look at Jimmy, Jimmy remembered the globally famous organization that Ricco had once told him, and Darren was a member of the organization.

In fact, Jimmy didn't expect things to become so complicated. Furthermore, now, even Howard was involved in it.

"Howard, do you know who Darren is?" Tentatively, Jimmy asked.

For a moment, Howard's heart paused, and then he shook his head. "Jimmy, to be honest, I knew this person before, but we've only met each other a few times. I don't know much about his identity. The reason why he appeared on the surveillance footage was that the man in the ward once saved his life, and he needs to repay his kindness..."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the person in the ward was not Kobi, but someone else who was disguised as him. I think his name is Kevin. Darren told me that he doesn't know Kobi, but you guys have confused me, and my mind is now a mess. Can someone explain to me why that Kobi isn't the real Kobi? Why did my grandfather say that you were arrested because you wanted to kill Kobi then..."

Before Howard could finish his words, his collar was suddenly grabbed by Jimmy. Angrily, Jimmy glared at him and asked him slowly, "What did you say just now? Kevin?"

"Y-Yes, what's the matter? I've just called Darren and asked him to tell me where Kobi is. He said that he doesn't know Kobi, and the person he took away is called Kevin, who was disguised as..."

Shocked to find that Jimmy's face was gloomy, Howard hurriedly asked, "What's going on? What's wrong with this Kevin?"

Good heavens, Jimmy was about to go crazy!

As Jimmy loosened his grip on Howard, his lips were tightly pursed, and his expression was dark.

Never did he expect that the fake Kobi would be Kevin!

Although Jimmy always thought that Kevin and Kobi had a partnership, he didn't expect Kobi to attack Kevin...

"Kevin?" Immediately, Ariah's eyes widened. "The Kobi that was lying on the hospital bed had always been Kevin? That can't be true!"

The thought of her being in the same room with Kevin for the past two days made Ariah feel her scalp tingle.

At that moment, even Ricco frowned. Although they were able to guess what happened, they had never thought that Kevin would be disguised as Kobi.

In the apartment.

After Kevin bandaged his wound, there was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. As he leaned against the chair and panted, he stared at Emily, who was crouched at the corner with a gaze that was as cold as a snake.

If Kobi were to cause him any more injuries, he would take revenge on Kobi's woman!

"Come here!"

After Emily opened her eyes, she saw Kobi talking to her. "Kobi? Why am I here?"

Then, as she rubbed the back of her head and felt a sharp pain, she exclaimed.
