Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 454

After putting on his clothes, Ricco felt that he had come back to life. Standing before the group of people, he spoke slowly. "Over the past two months, there have been several murder cases in the city. I believe you have heard of them too."

Jimmy was aware of them, but those cases did not happen in the area he was in charge of, which was why he did not investigate them earlier on.

He would not have cared so much about these cases if it were not for Ariah who couldn't control her emotions and vented her anger on Jimmy because of her sympathy for her patients.

But what did these cases have to do with Ariah?

Jimmy stared at Ricco.

"It may seem like this matter has nothing to do with you on the surface, but as long as you delve deeper, it is not only related to Ariah, but it also has a lot to do with you."

Ricco's words made Jimmy laugh. "If you are trying to buy time, I..."

"Do you still remember Beast?"

Before Jimmy could finish his words, Ricco had interrupted him with such a shocking question.

Jimmy's facial expressions thus froze. His pupils dilated for a moment, and his hands, which were hanging down, started trembling. These reactions were so minute that one would not notice unless one observed carefully.

Jimmy stood with his back to his subordinates, so Ben and David couldn't see his expression. They only knew that after Ricco uttered those words, Jimmy had stopped moving.

Beast?

What was Beast? Was it a human? Or was it an animal?

David and Ben looked at each other. "Jimmy?"

Jimmy seemed to wake up from a dream as he responded in a hoarse voice, "David and Ben, please go out first."

What?

Both of them were stunned.

"Are you alright?"

Jimmy didn't look back, but his voice was cold. "Didn't you hear me?"

"A-Alright."

"Get out if you have heard me!"

"Yes, Sir!"

They had been following Jimmy for many years and knew that he had a bad temper. Although Jimmy had a bad temper, he rarely got so angry before Ben and David.

They didn't dare to disobey him, so they hurriedly left.

It wasn't until the door of the room was closed that Jimmy's expression suddenly changed. Though he was sharp and forbearing, he hid his killing intent. "Who the hell are you?"

Beast... This was a person's nickname; this was the name that Jimmy wanted to forget in his whole life... Almost all the people involved in the case died, and he was the only survivor. But now, why did Ricco, who seemed to be an outsider, know this name?

In a calm manner, Ricco replied, "It doesn't matter who I am. The most important thing for you now is to find Ariah."

"You mean Ariah's disappearance was caused by Be..." Jimmy didn't want to say this name because anyone who had something to do with Beast would die.

Ricco shook his head. "I didn't say it was him, but I think it has something to do with him."

"Tell me clearly whether it was he who did it!"
