Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 703

Immediately, Ariah nodded, "Yes, I gave Sharon a call because I have something urgent to tell you."

"Mhmm," Softly, Stanley said as he motioned to the woman beside him. "Miss Jean, that's all for today. We shall talk about the contract another day."

After that, Stanley told his secretary to see Miss Jean off.

When Miss Jean left, she seemed to be reluctant to part with Stanley, and she stared boldly at Stanley with her big eyes as if she couldn't wait to devour him.

It gave Ariah goosebumps. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Didn't you say you have something urgent to discuss with me? Go ahead then." At that moment, Stanley's voice rang out.

Hurriedly, Ariah explained to Stanley about Jimmy's matter, which caused Stanley's brows to furrow. "Why didn't you call me yesterday? Don't you know how important this matter is?"

Although Ariah felt upset after Stanley scolded her, she answered, "Okay, fine. It's all my fault. Hurry and think of a way to save Jimmy. I don't know where he is, and I'm very worried because I wasn't able to reach him through his phone."

With a snort, Stanley uttered, "Why don't you go back first, and I'll investigate this now."

Of course, Ariah would head home first because even if she were to stay by his side the entire time, she wouldn't be able to find out anything in the next second, so she nodded and left.

Meanwhile, Stanley sat on his office chair as he immediately used his network of connections and began to investigate Camden.

Leaving the Jones Group, Ariah thought about Miss Jean again and decided to call Sharon to ask about her recent situation with Stanley. As a sensitive woman, Sharon instantly noticed there was something behind Ariah's words, so she asked her directly,

"Ariah, are you trying to tell me something?"

Realizing Sharon was quick-witted, Ariah told her what she saw in Jones Group, "Oh my, you should've seen the way she looked at Stanley. It seemed as if she was a wolf in heat and that she couldn't wait to pounce on Stanley and devour him."

However, her opinion did not affect Sharon. "Stanley is too charming, and it's normal for women to go after him. Ariah, I believe that he won't do anything behind my back."

Seeing how much Sharon trusted Stanley, Ariah sighed and didn't know what to say.

However, in this society, men could never withstand women who threw themselves at them, even if they were one to lead a strictly moral life.

After chatting a little more with Sharon, Ariah arrived at her office, so she hung up the phone and slowly walked toward her office. As soon as Ariah entered the office, the phone in her pocket rang. When she took it out and looked at it, she saw an unfamiliar number.

Without another thought, she immediately answered, "Hello..."

In fact, she was expecting Jimmy to be the person on the other side of the phone, but her hope was gone as soon as Lennon spoke, "It's me, Miss Myers."

Surprised, Ariah asked, "Lennon?"

"Is it convenient for you to talk on the phone now?" Indifferently, Lennon asked.

"Yes, it's fine. Is there anything you want to tell me about?"

"Yes." For a moment, Lennon was silent, then he said slowly, "The night before yesterday, someone broke into Camden's mansion. There was a gunfight, and Miss Hart had disappeared. It made Camden so angry that he had been searching around every corner for Miss Hart. Besides, Jimmy had not shown up for the past two days, so according to my speculation, he should be trying to find a place to hide Miss Hart."

When Ariah first heard Lennon said that there was a gunfight at Camden's villa, she was so angry that she started to curse. However, when Ariah heard that Nicole was missing, she let out a sigh of relief again.

If that was the case, it meant that both Nicole and Jimmy were safe.

Everything would be fine as long as Jimmy was safe...

Suddenly, Ariah, who had been on tenterhooks for the past two days, finally felt relieved. "Thank you, Lennon."

"You're welcome," Calmly, Lennon said, "If there's nothing else, then that's all."

Right after Lennon said that, he wanted to hang up the phone.

"Hold on." Instantly, Ariah stopped him.

"Yes? Is there anything else?"

"Lennon, it was I who called Emily last night because I was hoping that she could seek help from you to find out if there is any news about Jimmy. I hope it didn't cause any misunderstandings between the both of you."

"There's no misunderstanding. Don't worry about it."

It was then that Ariah heaved a sigh of relief. Thank God that there was no misunderstanding between them.

A moment later, Lennon's voice came from the other end. "Anything else?"

"Oh, no. That's all." All of a sudden, Ariah felt that Lennon was too multifaceted. Sometimes, Ariah would feel that he was friendly, but sometimes, she would feel that Lenon was so mysterious, and she couldn't seem to figure him out.

Without another word, Lennon hung up the phone.

Then, Ariah sighed. How could a woman like Emily get along with a man like Lennon? Sooner or later, there would definitely be conflicts.

In fact, with their completely different personalities, they would never get along with each other. Even if Lennon were to force Emily to marry him, Ariah was afraid things would turn out bad forthem.

Meanwhile, Lennon hung up the phone and sat quietly in the study for a long time.

However, Lennon's brows were furrowed because he felt as if he had been bewitched. The fact that he even called Ariah and told Ariah about the information that he obtained from Camden...

The reason why Lennon did this was probably to win Emily's heart over.

The result of what Lennon did was that Camden started to be suspicious of him. During the call, Camden even asked Lennon if he knew anything about Nicole's disappearance.

For the sake of Emily's friends, Lennon did not reveal any information to Camden.

And because of Lennon's attitude, Camden became pissed at Lennon during the call. After this incident, the future business cooperation between the both of them might even be canceled.

As Lennon thought of that, his face darkened again as he strode out of the study.

In the meantime, Emily, who was watching television, was suddenly shrouded under a shadow. Before she looked up, she heard the unhappy voice of Lennon, "Go and pack your stuff. We will be heading back to Mathines in the evening."

After that only sentence, Lennon's figure disappeared.

Taken aback, Emily looked at Lennon's back and moved her lips. In the end, she restrained herself and said nothing.

In fact, Emily had to go back to Mathines. If she were to go back, then she would be able to get rid of him...

When Ariah got off work, she received a message from Emily. In the message, Emily said she had to go back to Mathines, and she couldn't bid goodbye to Kobi, so she wanted Ariah to help tell Kobi about it.

After replying with 'don't worry about it', Ariah then directly took a taxi to the hospital.

By then, Kobi's injury had almost recovered, and he was allowed to be discharged from the hospital. However, Kobi was not in a hurry, so he remained in the ward.

Although Mack and Ella had come to visit Kobi, he was not willing to talk to them. As a matter of fact, Mack had some questions that he wanted to ask Kobi, but he noticed that Kobi was alienated from them, so in the end, Mack held back.

The moment Ariah arrived at Kobi's ward, she happened to see that the servant from the Hudson Family was serving Kobi dinner, so she stood at the door for a while before she entered and greeted, "Hi, Kobi."

As soon as Kobi heard Ariah's voice, his gaze swept over her back.

"Are you looking for Emily?" asked Ariah softly.

With a glance, Kobi asked back, "What are you doing here?" "Emily sent me here."

When Ariah finished, Kobi immediately came up to her and hurriedly asked, "Where is she?"

"She left for Mathines." Then, Ariah took out her phone and showed Emily's text to Kobi. "She sent me a text before she boarded the plane. This was sent about an hour ago, so even if you want to see her, you'll never have the chance to do so."

Stunned, Kobi fell into a daze.

Meanwhile, when Ariah saw that Kobi's expression sank and that there was even a trace of regret in his eyes, she suddenly asked, "Do you regret what you had done to her now? Well, why didn't you think about this when you were doing it to her back then?"
