Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 645

For a moment, Ariah was stunned, then she immediately went to meet Jimmy.

At that moment, Jimmy's face was ashen. Behind him was Howard, who seemed to be embarrassed.

Suspiciously, Ariah glanced at the both of them before she finally turned to look at Howard. "What's going on?"

Awkwardly, Howard answered, "Darren didn't answer the call, and he turned off his phone."

Although they didn't manage to track Darren down just because he didn't answer the phone, there was no need for Jimmy to be so angry.

"What else?" In fact, Ariah felt that it wasn't that simple.

"Another thing is..." Then, Howard told her about how he had sent a text message to Darren earlier in the car, "I just wanted to persuade him to turn himself in, but I didn't expect him to be so alert that he acted so quickly and refused to let me contact him."

Suddenly, Ariah was quiet.

No wonder that Jimmy was so angry. Obviously,

Jimmy had a great chance to track Kevin down, but Howard ruined it.

When Howard saw that Jimmy was so furious that he seemed as if he wanted to kill Howard, Howard just stood there, wordless.

At that moment, Howard felt extremely guilty.

The look in Jimmy's eyes made Howard feel that he was worse than useless.

Guilt and remorse filled his heart.

The moment Ariah saw Howard like that, she hurriedly said, "It's alright, we will try to think of another way. This isn't your fault, and it's not necessarily because of you he turned off his phone."

Immediately, Jimmy sneered. "Who else to blame if not him?"

Although Howard's mouth twitched, he didn't say anything.

"Howard, you are a grown *ss man. Can't you even use your brain to think before you do anything?" Then, Jimmy continued to provoke Howard, "You can't even handle such a small thing. How do you even heal the wounded and rescue the dying in the hospital?"

Taken aback, Ariah tugged at Jimmy's shirt. "Don't act like this..."

After all, they were close friends, and some lines just couldn't be crossed.

However, Jimmy sneered and turned to leave.

While Howard looked at Jimmy's figure, the corners of his mouth sank. In the end, Howard retracted his gaze, turned around, and was about to leave.

"Howard!" Immediately, Ariah called out to him as she tried to be the peacemaker. "Jimmy was too impatient. I'm sure he didn't mean what he said just now. Don't take it to heart, and don't blame him for it, okay?"

Then, Howard shook his head and said, "Jimmy was right. I was too reckless, and I don't think twice before I do anything. Don't worry. I will get Darren's address. Just give me two hours."

"Alas..."

In the end, Ariah couldn't stop Howard, and Howard strode off after he finished his words.

A few of the younger policemen witnessed what happened and stood by the side, not knowing what to say. As Ariah looked at them, she sighed and went to look for Jimmy, who was still angry.

When Ariah pushed open the door and entered Jimmy's office, she saw him smoking by the window.

Slowly, she closed the door and walked over as she said straightforwardly, "You were too much just now. You shouldn't have said that to Howard..."

"He's gone?"

Suddenly, Jimmy interrupted her and asked.

"How could he not leave? You said that he was stupid in front of so many people. If he had a bad temper, he would definitely have started a fight with you," Softly, Ariah muttered.

Through Jimmy's well-defined side profile, Ariah noticed the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said with a faint smile, "If I didn't say such things, how am I supposed to make him anxious?"

Stunned, Ariah suddenly understood what Jimmy meant, and she raised her eyebrows, "You mean, you were saying such things on purpose?" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"He told us he was not very familiar with Darren. Also, he said that Darren was someone else's subordinate. Well, who was Darren working for? Aren't you curious about it?"

Then, Ariah's eyes lit up. "Before Howard left, he told me that he would figure out Darren's location and told me to give him for two hours. Do you think he's going to find that person who knows about Darren's address?"

With a smile, Jimmy looked at Ariah.

Never did Ariah expect that Jimmy was trying to goad Howard just now.

Suddenly, Ariah thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Do you need someone to trail after Howard?"

"I told Ben to secretly trail after Howard from the back door. Now, we shall wait for the news." As Jimmy snorted, he put out the cigarette in his hand.

At that moment, Ariah raised her head to look at Jimmy. In fact, she was surprised at how he had already set everything up.

When the phone rang, Kobi was drinking. For the past two days, he had been nowhere but the hotel.

After Kobi glanced at the caller ID, he laughed and threw away the wine bottle in his hand as he answered, "Kevin, you finally called me."

After Kobi was chased out of the ward that day, he did secretly return to the ward later, but in the end, he did not find Kevin.

At that moment, Kobi thought that Kevin must have been transferred to another hospital, or perhaps someone from the Hudson Family had come to take him away.

In the past two days, Kobi had been patiently waiting, and finally, he received Kevin's call today.

In fact, Kobi would like to see what Kevin was going to do.

"Do you know why I called you?" Straightforwardly, Kevin asked.

Then, Kobi raised his eyebrows. "You want to threaten me? You know my plans and all that I've done. So, are you going to tell me that if I don't agree to what you will say next, then you will tell the

Hudson Family about everything that I've done?"

"You're indeed a smart and straightforward person."

"Tell me what you want."

"Come to see me." Directly, Kevin said, "If you don't want to ruin your reputation and your precious Emily, then come and meet me."

Suddenly, Kobi tightened his grip on the phone. "Are you in possession of Alice?"

"Well, obviously I need a bait to catch a big fish like you."

As Kobi's heart skipped a beat, he asked, "Where are you guys?"

"We're not in the hospital. We're at a place that you don't know. Have you decided to come and see me?" "Let me hear Alice's voice."

With a sneer, Kevin lifted his chin and gestured to Darren. "Tear off the tape on her mouth."

When Darren walked toward Emily, she was leaning against the sofa in a daze. The moment Darren tore off the tape, Emily didn't even say a word.

"Say something!"

Angrily, Kevin yelled at her.

As Emily's dull eyes moved, she lifted her head to look at Kevin. Meanwhile, Kevin had his phone on hand-free as he shouted again, "Let Kobi listen to your voice, hurry up and speak!"

Then, Emily's gaze fell onto the phone again. After a while, Kobi's voice rang out, "Emily?"

However, Alice pressed the corners of her lips together without saying a word.

It made Kevin furious. Immediately, he got up and slapped her. "Did you hear me? I want you to speak!"

Despite that, the corner of Emily's lips twitched as she looked at him with a scornful smile.

When Kobi heard what happened on the other side of the phone, he tightened his fists, with his eyes burning in anger. "Hey, if you're a man, then don't do anything to her." "What's wrong? Are you distressed?" Suddenly, Kevin began to laugh. "Then hurry up and come over. Otherwise, when I run out of patience, I will ruin your beloved woman with my own hands!"

After that, Kevin was about to hang up the phone.

At that moment, Emily took the chance to scream, "Kobi, don't come over! They're going to kill you!"

Right after Kevin ended the call, he looked at her coldly and said, "Tape her mouth up!"

Then, Darren apologized to Emily and taped her mouth again.

A moment later, Kevin texted Kobi the address and waited quietly for Kobi's arrival. Once Kobi arrived, Kevin will kill him.

"You better pray that Kobi loves you. Otherwise, your tiny little life will no longer be of any use to us."

Coldly, Kevin uttered as he looked at Emily, who was on the couch.

As the clock ticked away, Ariah paced back and forth in the office.

"If you keep pacing back and forth like that, I'm going to get a headache soon." Slowly, Jimmy massaged his temples, and he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Meanwhile, Ariah raised her wrist to look at the time, "Why hasn't Ben updated us yet?"
