Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 645

For a moment, Ariah was stunned, then she immediately went to meet Jimmy.

At that moment, Jimmy's face was ashen. Behind him was Howard, who seemed to be embarrassed.

Suspiciously, Ariah glanced at the both of them before she finally turned to look at Howard. "What's going on?"

Awkwardly, Howard answered, "Darren didn't answer the call, and he turned off his phone."

Although they didn't manage to track Darren down just because he didn't answer the phone, there was no need for Jimmy to be so angry.

"What else?" In fact, Ariah felt that it wasn't that simple.

"Another thing is..." Then, Howard told her about how he had sent a text message to Darren earlier in the car, "I just wanted to persuade him to turn himself in, but I didn't expect him to be so alert that he acted so quickly and refused to let me contact him."

Suddenly, Ariah was quiet.

No wonder that Jimmy was so angry. Obviously,

Jimmy had a great chance to track Kevin down, but Howard ruined it.

When Howard saw that Jimmy was so furious that he seemed as if he wanted to kill Howard, Howard just stood there, wordless.

At that moment, Howard felt extremely guilty.

The look in Jimmy's eyes made Howard feel that he was worse than useless.

Guilt and remorse filled his heart.

The moment Ariah saw Howard like that, she hurriedly said, "It's alright, we will try to think of another way. This isn't your fault, and it's not necessarily because of you he turned off his phone."

Immediately, Jimmy sneered. "Who else to blame if not him?"

Although Howard's mouth twitched, he didn't say anything.

"Howard, you are a grown *ss man. Can't you even use your brain to think before you do anything?" Then, Jimmy continued to provoke Howard, "You can't even handle such a small thing. How do you even heal the wounded and rescue the dying in the hospital?"

Taken aback, Ariah tugged at Jimmy's shirt. "Don't act like this..."

After all, they were close friends, and some lines just couldn't be crossed.

However, Jimmy sneered and turned to leave.

While Howard looked at Jimmy's figure, the corners of his mouth sank. In the end, Howard retracted his gaze, turned around, and was about to leave.

"Howard!" Immediately, Ariah called out to him as she tried to be the peacemaker. "Jimmy was too impatient. I'm sure he didn't mean what he said just now. Don't take it to heart, and don't blame him for it, okay?"

Then, Howard shook his head and said, "Jimmy was right. I was too reckless, and I don't think twice before I do anything. Don't worry. I will get Darren's address. Just give me two hours."

"Alas..."

In the end, Ariah couldn't stop Howard, and Howard strode off after he finished his words.

A few of the younger policemen witnessed what happened and stood by the side, not knowing what to say. As Ariah looked at them, she sighed and went to look for Jimmy, who was still angry.

When Ariah pushed open the door and entered Jimmy's office, she saw him smoking by the window.

Slowly, she closed the door and walked over as she said straightforwardly, "You were too much just now. You shouldn't have said that to Howard..."

"He's gone?"

Suddenly, Jimmy interrupted her and asked.

"How could he not leave? You said that he was stupid in front of so many people. If he had a bad temper, he would definitely have started a fight with you," Softly, Ariah muttered.

Through Jimmy's well-defined side profile, Ariah noticed the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said with a faint smile, "If I didn't say such things, how am I supposed to make him anxious?"

Stunned, Ariah suddenly understood what Jimmy meant, and she raised her eyebrows, "You mean, you were saying such things on purpose?"

"He told us he was not very familiar with Darren. Also, he said that Darren was someone else's subordinate. Well, who was Darren working for? Aren't you curious about it?"

Then, Ariah's eyes lit up. "Before Howard left, he told me that he would figure out Darren's location and told me to give him for two hours. Do you think he's going to find that person who knows about Darren's address?"

With a smile, Jimmy looked at Ariah.

Never did Ariah expect that Jimmy was trying to goad Howard just now.
