Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 691

In fact, she was gorgeous.

Although Lennon had seen many pretty women, it was his first time seeing a pure eastern beauty. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

An amorous aura exuded her body, but there was also a hint of indifference from the bottom of her heart, and even her gaze seemed cold and unkind.

Gracefully, the woman stood by the car with a slender figure.

Meanwhile, Camden had his gaze fixated on her.

Faintly, Lennon smiled, "Welcome, Mr. Reeves and this beautiful young lady. Please come in."

"Come along!" Coldly, Camden retracted his gaze and turned to enter the villa.

There was obviously a hint of disgust in the woman's eyes, but she had no choice but to trail along.

The living room had already been cleaned up when they entered the living room. Then, the servants served the guests fine wine. As Lennon and Camden sat on the couch, the woman laid lazily on the other couch with her eyes closed and her delicate face devoid of expression.

However, Lennon noticed that Camden's gaze would always glance over that woman from time to time. Then, he would slowly retract his gaze and continued his talk with Lennon.

Suddenly, Lennon thought of the rumors about how Camden almost ruined the Reeves Family because of a woman, and he started to wonder if the rumors were true.

Also, could the woman be the one who was sitting right in front of him?

Slightly interested, Lennon's gaze fell upon the woman on the couch.

Immediately, Lennon felt a cold gaze shot over from the side, so he chuckled softly and retracted his gaze. "Mr. Reeves, don't get me wrong. It's just that I still have no idea who this lady is, so..."

Usually, if someone were to ask such a question, the other party would definitely introduce the woman's name directly.

However, Camden did not reply and had another sip of his wine. After a long while, he said perfunctorily, "You can just act as if she's invisible. She's just a nobody anyway."

If she was simply a nobody, how could she be allowed to sit with them in an imposing manner and listen to their private discussions?

In fact, Lennon didn't believe it at all.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from the

stairs.

With a frown, Lennon raised his head and looked toward the stairs. At that moment, Emily was running down the stairs, and behind her was an exasperated servant.

"Stop right there, Miss Emily. Mr. Lennon had given orders that you can't go downstairs!"

However, the servant couldn't even get hold of Emily. In the blink of an eye, Emily had arrived downstairs as she put her hands on her hips and yelled, "Lennon, it's against the law to keep me locked in this villa. Let me go!"

"Nonsense!" Immediately, Lennon's face turned cold, which was intimidating. "Get back upstairs!"

Although Emily was terrified, she did not compromise. "I won't go back upstairs! You better make sure that you can keep me locked up in here for a lifetime, or I will make sure to file a police report

to arrest you when I get out of this place. You might be powerful in Mathines, but none of the police in Beachmarsh City would listen to you!"

With a sneer, Lennon replied, "Is that true? Well, you can go ahead and try to see if any police officers dare to arrest me."

"D-Don't you try to be boastful. My friend, Jimmy, is a policeman in Beachmarsh City, and he is supremely powerful. Once he realized that I am missing, he will definitely try his best to find me. By the time he finds me, it will be your doomsday!" At that moment, the bodyguards outside the door entered the living room after they heard the commotion. Angrily, Lennon ordered, "Take her away and keep an eye on her. Don't let her come downstairs without my permission!"

"Yes, sir."

The two bodyguards were so tall and strong that Emily couldn't even resist, so she could only be carried upstairs by them.

"I'm sorry, but her personality is quite wild. Please forgive me for that." Then, Lennon poured a glass of wine for Camden.

Meanwhile, Camden raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is she your fiancee?"

Calmly, Lennon nodded.

"I didn't expect it to be such a young lady." Softly, Camden chuckled.

After that, Lennon clinked glasses with him.

Suddenly, the woman who had been seated on the couch stood up, but Camden looked over and said, "Sit down."

Impatiently, the woman uttered, "You guys can go ahead with your discussion, but I don't want to listen to it. It's so boring to sit here and listen to your conversation, so I'm going to have a walk around the place."

"Don't make me repeat what I've said. Sit down."

Although the woman's face changed, she still held it in. "You guy are discussing important trade secrets. Aren't you afraid that I will leak it out after I listened to it?"

Coldly, Camden smiled. "Even if you were to listen to our conversation, do you think you would have a chance to leak it?"

In fact, she had no freedom at all, and she had nowhere to go.

Taken aback, the woman froze.

The atmosphere between the two was in a stalemate.

Hurriedly, Lennon became the peacemaker and looked at the woman. "Well, my villa is quite spacious, so go ahead and walk around. It's no big deal."

Then, the woman nodded to him and said, "Thank you."

After a pause, she asked, "Was the girl that came downstairs earlier your girlfriend?"

"She's my fiancee. You can go upstairs and talk to her if you want to."

Happily, the woman nodded and turned to head upstairs.

Unexpectedly, Camden put down his wine cup heavily with a dark expression on his face.

With a smile, Lennon uttered, "Don't you trust the security system that I have? Don't worry. She definitely won't run away. This place is full of my men, and not a single bird could escape."

However, Camden snorted and explained, "She's not an ordinary woman, and she is very scheming. If I were to take my eyes off her for a moment, something would definitely go wrong in the next second."

Nonetheless, Lennon felt that Camden was too vigilant. What kind of trouble could a woman like her cause?

On the second floor.

Just as Emily was thinking if she would end up breaking her leg if she jumped out of the window, the bedroom door was pushed open.

"Don't come in and bother me!"

At first, Emily thought it was the servant, so she spoke rudely.

After a long time, Emily didn't hear any movement behind her, so she frowned and turned to look. Then, she realized that it was not a servant but a gorgeous lady who was standing at the door.

Immediately, Emily recognized that she was the woman that she had seen earlier downstairs. It was the woman that Lennon's friend brought along.

Since she knew Lennon, then she definitely wasn't a good person.

So Emily naturally did not have a good expression as she asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in here? Please go out. You are not welcome here."

Slowly, the woman entered the room and closed the door. Eagerly, she stared into Emily's eyes and asked, "Did you say that you know Jimmy?"

Suddenly, Jimmy's car was stopped by Lennon's men. "I'm sorry, sir. This is a private place, and no one is allowed to come in without permission. Please turn around and leave now."

Immediately, Jimmy raised his eyebrows and realized that Lennon really was someone who had a strong background.

Even Ariah was also surprised that the entire area belonged to Lennon.

Then, Jimmy leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette as he glanced at Ben. With a nod, Ben got off the car and negotiated with the other party. It was not until Ben showed his police identification card that the group of men hesitated.

Hurriedly, one of them went to make a phone call. After a while, he came back and indicated that Jimmy could be let in.

At that moment, Jimmy and his men started their engines again and went in.

Meanwhile, the villa was in chaos.

It was because Emily was missing!

Just like that, Emily suddenly disappeared from her bedroom without a trace. Although Lennon had sent his men to search every corner of the room, they didn't manage to find her. Angrily, Lennon turned to look at the woman.

In fact, she had only gone upstairs for a short moment, but after a while, the servant found that Emily was missing.

It was naturally for him to suspicious of her.

After Camden saw that Lennon was glaring at the woman, his expression changed slightly as he dragged the woman out of the couch and asked in a low voice, "Were you the one who did it?"

Indifferently, the woman answered, "What are you saying? I don't understand!"

"I know you're a troublemaker, and if I took my eye off of you for a minute, you would definitely cause trouble for me!" Coldly, Camden grabbed her neck and asked, "Tell me the truth, where did you hide her?"
