Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 696

It was a call from Nicole.

At first, Jimmy thought Emily was lying, so he took it with a grain of salt and gave the number a call just now. However, he didn't expect that it was really Nicole who answered the phone.

In fact, Jimmy had been looking for her for so many years, and now he finally knew that she was still alive.

"Nicole?" Softly, Jimmy answered the phone.

On the other end of the line came Nicole's panic-stricken voice. "Jimmy, he's drunk, and he's losing his temper now. I've locked myself up in the room. There aren't many people in his villa recently, so it would be a good chance for me to escape now. I can only count on you."

As Jimmy strode to the parking lot, he said, "Send me the location!"

"Alright!" Immediately, Nicole lowered her voice, "Be careful when you come over. All of his men have guns in their hands."

"I know." Then, Jimmy exhorted. "Take good care of yourself. I will be right over."

Obediently, Nicole agreed.

Then, Jimmy hung up the phone and got into the car. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and turned his head to look. Frozen, Ariah stood where she was and looked at him expressionlessly.

Immediately, Jimmy opened the door and got off the car. As he went up to Ariah and wanted to reach out to hug her, Ariah took two steps back and dodged his outstretched hand.

Just like that, Jimmy's hand froze in midair.

In the end, he made up his mind and turned to leave. Before he got back into the car, he told Emily, "Take Ariah back with you and take good care of her."

"Oh, okay. Sure."

Hurriedly, Emily nodded.

After that, Jimmy drove off.

As Ariah stood where she was, she smiled mockingly when Jimmy's car went out of sight.

When Emily noticed how bad Ariah's expression seemed, she did not dare to say anything. However, Emily felt even guiltier when she realized that things had turned sour because she had said something she should not have said.

On the way back, Ariah remained silent. Whereas Emily, who was sitting next to Ariah, had a few times when she wanted to speak, but she managed to refrain from doing it.

Oh dear, why did she always had to screw things up!

Was it really like what Lennon had said, that no matter what Emily did, she would end up screwing things up?

The two women in the car remained silent throughout the entire journey.

When they arrived at Ariah's residential area, the driver pulled over. Then, Ariah paid him, and the two of them went upstairs silently.

After Emily looked at Ariah several times, in the end, she could not help but say, "Ariah, are you going to cry?"

Shocked, Ariah asked, "What?"

Then, Emily uttered, "You seem so sad, and you look like you're about to cry."

Suddenly, Ariah stood where she was and didn't move. Slowly, the corner of her mouth twitched into a bitter smile. "I look like I'm going to cry, right? However, I won't cry. I just feel like scolding someone."

Taken aback, Emily's eyes widened, "W-Who are you going to scold?"

"Don't worry. I'm not going to scold you. You didn't do anything wrong." With a sneer, Ariah said, "Since Jimmy decided to walk out on me today, he better not expect me to restore our marriage in the future."

"Oh, my." Quickly, Emily grabbed Ariah's hand. "Don't do that... because if you do that, I will blame myself for what had happened." Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Ariah shook her head and changed the topic, "Emily, can you tell me about the details of what had happened between you and Nicole?"

With a frown, Emily explained, "As for the details..." after a pause, Emily thought and continued, "There was nothing much actually. It was her who came to me on her own accord and told me that she had a way to help me escape Lennon's villa. However, all I had to do in return was to pass Jimmy a message... that's all."

In the end, Emily thought of something and hurriedly said, "Nicole did give me a number and asked me to pass it to Jimmy. At that time, her expression was very anxious, as if she was afraid of being discovered. I only met the man who came with her once. Although he was quite handsome, his gaze was particularly gloomy and scary, and I didn't dare to look at him straight in the eye."

"Nicole seems to be quite afraid of that man. Since she called Jimmy to save her, she probably is in danger right now..."

As Emily explained, she carefully looked at Ariah, "Ariah, don't be angry with Jimmy. He is just trying to save her from danger."

Meanwhile, Ariah closed her eyes and didn't say anything as she turned around and walked towards the building of her unit.

Then, Emily bit her lip and followed.

As soon as they got back to the building, Emily suddenly turned around and ran away.

At that moment, Lennon, who was standing at the door raised his hand, and the two bodyguards behind him immediately chased after Emily. After that, Lennon looked at Ariah with a smile and said, "Miss Myers, I hope my sudden visit wouldn't be a trouble to you."

Besides his tall and straight figure, Lennon had sharp features and profound brow bones.

That majesty aura that Lennon exuded could not be ignored.

With a sigh, Ariah asked, "Well, I didn't expect you to come looking for us so quickly."

Faintly, Lennon smiled. "I had found out about it yesterday night, but I didn't want to disturb Miss Myers and Emily's good night's sleep. That's why I came here today."

The best description for Lennon would probably be both evil and gentleman at the same time.

As Ariah turned around and looked, she asked worriedly, "Your men won't do anything to Emily, will they?"

"They know clearly that Emily will be their mistress in the future."

What Lennon meant was that the bodyguards would not dare to be rude to Emily.

"Alright then."

After Ariah took out the key and opened the door, she asked, "Do you want to come in and have a seat, or are you going to take Emily and leave?"

In fact, Ariah really didn't have the ability to resist Lennon. If Jimmy was there, perhaps he could protect Emily. However, now that Ariah was alone, she felt that she was yet to have the ability to stop Lennon from taking Emily away.

Furthermore, Ariah had already tested Lennon earlier. Since Lennon had already told his subordinates that Emily would be their mistress, it was obvious that he had placed Emily in a very high position. Thus, he shouldn't do anything to Emily.

"It's okay, Miss Myers. I shall not bother you any longer. I'll take Emily and leave."

Immediately, Ariah nodded, "Okay then... but I hope that you can be more gentle to Emily because she's actually quite afraid of you."

Stunned for a moment, Lennon then frowned. Emily was afraid of him?

The thing was, Emily had been fearless since she was a child, and she used to cause a lot of trouble, which would often give Lennon a headache. Besides, Emily had never been nice to Lennon, so how could she be afraid of him?

"You b*stards, let me go!" Suddenly, Emily's scream sounded, "Ariah, are you okay?"

On the other side of the elevator, a bodyguard was walking over with Emily in his arm.

At that moment, Emily was unable to struggle, and she was also pissed, so she could only curse her heart out. After she yelled at the bodyguard, then she lashed out at Lennon in different languages.

When Ariah noticed that Lennon's expression was getting darker, Ariah quickly stepped forward for the sake of Emily's safety and said, "Emily, don't worry. I'm fine!"

The moment Emily saw Ariah was fine and intact, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, the two bodyguards who held Emily in their arms had red marks on both of their faces. It was obvious that they had been scratched by Emily.

The tall and strong bodyguards looked sullen.

However, Emily did not have a single wound on

her face.

It seemed Lennon was right, and his men would not dare to do anything to Emily.

"Ariah, call the police!" Suddenly, Emily shouted. "Just tell them that there's a human trafficker. This is Beachmarsh City, and I'm sure they would not dare to be too arrogant!"

Helplessly, Ariah said, "Do you think that Lennon would let me call the police?"

Immediately, Lennon shook his head. "No, that will not happen. For the sake of both of us, we have to be more decent. I think it's best if Miss Myers go into the house right now and pretend that this has ever happened."

"You're so mean!" At that moment, Emily was on the verge of going mad. When Emily remembered how she had been locked up by Lennon for the past two days without any freedom, her eyes turned

red with anger. "How could you do this?"

As Lennon looked at Emily's eyes which were gradually turning red, his brows furrowed.
