Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 669

"What?"

Yet to realize what he had said, Kevin asked in a startled voice, "What do you mean?"

Pulling a chair over, Jimmy sat across him. He then said in a mocking tone, "When you were under my jurisdiction, I couldn't do anything to you since I have my duties to fulfil. But if someone else takes you over, I'm no longer responsible for you. Do you think I'll sit down and talk to you casually like what I'm doing now?"

Something suddenly clicked in his mind.

Kevin finally understood what he had meant. He was now under Jimmy's control, so if anything happened to him, then the responsibility would lie with Jimmy.

If someone else took over his case, then his life or death would have nothing to do with Jimmy anymore.

Therefore, the current situation was the safest for both parties. On the contrary, if someone else took over his case, his life would be at risk.

"Jimmy, you won't do it. You won't do anything that will go against your responsibility!"

Due to his severe injuries, he couldn't move an inch, but he managed to widen his eyes out of fear. "If anything happens to me, you can't get away with it! After all, everyone knows you see me as an enemy. You want to kill me!"

The smile on Jimmy's face grew wider. Looking down at him with a death glare, he threatened, "Who said I would do it myself?"

Stunned, Kevin stared back at him.

"You've committed so many crimes, Kevin. You made enemies with so many people, do you really think no one else would want to kill you?" Jimmy raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

Hearing that, Kevin felt as if fear was paralyzing him.

Past events slowly emerged in his mind. He didn't even remember those faces that he killed and had never been afraid of anything. However, for some unknown reason, he suddenly felt fear rising up his throat.

He had never experienced fear surrounding him like this.

Body shaking with fear, he now knew that he was driven to a dead end, so he tried to seize his last chance of survival. "Jimmy, how about a deal?"

As if he had heard some kind of joke, Jimmy laughed. "A deal? What makes you think you can

talk to me about a deal now?"

He sneered as he looked down on Kevin ridiculously.

"Don't you want to know why Kobi was trying to go against you? I know the reason, and I can tell you all the things he has done over the years. I'm offering you this information as long as you distract the police tonight so that I can escape, then I will tell you everything I know!"

He knew that his offer was enticing enough for Jimmy to take the deal because the information was about Kobi. He was certain Jimmy would take the offer.

After hearing that, Jimmy nodded silently and asked, "Sounds like a good bait, but do you think I will fall into your trap?"

"Jimmy, you..."

"If I wanted to know all of this, I can investigate by myself. I have the capability and connections," Jimmy interrupted him with a smirk. "Who would have known the mighty Kevin Bradbury would wake up to a day like this. How do you feel now knowing that you're getting closer to death?"

Pushing the chair aside, Jimmy stood up and looked down at him. There was nothing else he wanted to say, and he didn't bother to continue the conversation either, so he turned around and got ready to leave.

"If you don't want to know about Kobi, what about Nicole?" Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

The voice of Kevin echoed behind him, "Don't you want to know where Nicole is? I can tell you where she is and give you her contact information as long as you can help me get out of here!"

Upon hearing what he had just said, Jimmy stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him. "You know where Nicole is?"

"Of course I do!"

Noticing his change of attitude, Kevin quickly uttered, "Back then, when you were an undercover spy, Nicole risked her life and exposed her identity to distract the drug lords in order to keep you alive. Since you're such a loyal person, don't you want to know where she is now that you know she's still alive?"

That information piqued his interest, so Jimmy walked over to him and asked, "What else do you know?"

Knowing that he couldn't make a deal with him if he didn't disclose a little more information, Kevin then said bluntly, "Do you still remember the Reeves Family? When you were a spy, your task was mainly to collect criminal evidence by the Reeves Family, but their criminal history was too deep for you alone to handle. Your identity almost got exposed even before you gathered enough evidence.

So in order to cover up for you, Nicole took the initiative to provoke the successor of the Reeves Family-Camden. At the same time, she wanted to obtain evidence from him so that the Reeves Family would divert their attention to her. After her identity was exposed, the Reeves Family tried to kill her..."

Jimmy's face darkened with every word that came out of Kevin's mouth. Seeing that, Kevin knew he had successfully captured his attention.

Then, he continued, "When Nicole went missing back then, all of you thought she was dead, but she didn't. She's still alive and well. I even met her two years ago when I went abroad."

"Where is she?" Jimmy asked in a deep voice.

"I will tell you, but on one condition— you let me go!" Kevin smiled and added, "Jimmy, as long as you let me go, the grudge between us will be written off from now on. I will not take revenge on you, nor disturb your family!"

"I can even treat you as a friend from now on. It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Don't you think so?"

His words were ingrained with temptation.

Standing at the same spot, Jimmy didn't say a word for a long time.

Giving him time to think, Kevin understood that Jimmy wouldn't have compromised if it were for other matters.

However, he would definitely compromise if the matter was regarding Nicole!

The ward fell dead silent.

Eventually, Jimmy made his move. He walked over to Kevin, bent down, and looked straight at him with his deep eyes. "Kevin, the condition you proposed is very attractive. I almost took the bait, but..."

Hearing that, Kevin furrowed his forehead, "But what?"

"But there's something you're wrong about."

"What is it?"

"Friends can also change their minds and become enemies one day. As for me, I don't need a friend like you..."

Parting his lips, Jimmy uttered word by word, "What I really need is for you to disappear from this world. Only your death can comfort the innocent souls in heaven."

As soon as he finished his last word, Jimmy turned around and left.

Frustrated, Kevin instantly came into realization, and his expressions twisted. He shouted as if it was the last struggle he could make before being thrown to hell. "Jimmy, come back here!"

David was smoking a cigarette by the car when he saw Jimmy coming out from a distance, he then put out the cigarette immediately.

"What's wrong, boss?" David couldn't help but worry when he saw the terrible look on Jimmy's face.

Shaking his head, Jimmy said, "I'm fine."

However, he knew something had happened judging on Jimmy's knitted brows.

Not daring to push further, David started the car and left. "Boss, where should we go now?"

Not uttering a word, Jimmy leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.

Glancing at him, David took the cue to stop talking. Then, he drove the car slowly.
