Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 665

In a factory in the suburbs.

Wearing a black jacket, Jimmy stood by his car while thinking about something. There was a cigarette between his fingers, and the smoke had covered his face.

David was talking to a middle-aged couple not far away.

After a while, David walked over with them, so Jimmy threw away the cigarette and put it out with his foot.

After introducing them to each other, David explained the purpose of their visit. "Esme, Jimmy is here this time to ask you whether your house was sold to a Mr. Hudson?"

Looking at Jimmy suspiciously, Esme shook her head. "I don't know any Mr. Hudson. Our house was sold to Mr. Vance."

"Mr. Vance?" Jimmy asked in a low voice. "Do you know his full name?"

Before she revealed any extra information, the man next to her interrupted, "I am her husband. You can ask me if you have any questions."

With a faint smile, Jimmy replied, "Sure. Tell me what you know about Mr. Vance."

The man looked at Jimmy and grinned. "If you want to seek something from me, you have to give me some benefits."

Jimmy turned to David, who frowned and retorted, "Didn't I give you five hundred just now? Why did you change your mind so quickly?"

"That was for the information just now. If you want to know more, you have to pay me more."

David was frustrated by such an impervious attitude.

"How much do you need?" asked Jimmy coldly.

"Ten thousand!" answered the man, whose eyes glanced at Jimmy's luxury car.

"Sure." The corners of Jimmy's mouth curled up, but there was no joy in his eyes. "David, pay them a thousand first. We will pay the remaining amount after he tells us the information."

David then did as he said.

As the man counted the money happily, his attitude suddenly changed. "My wife is right. We don't know any Mr. Hudson, and the house was bought by Mr. Vance."

"When did he buy the house?"

"Four or five years ago."

"What's the full name?"

"G-Gerardo Vance, if I'm not mistaken."

Jimmy snorted. Even if Kobi changed his name to Gerardo, he would still be able to find the evidence.

After fishing out his phone, he searched for a photo of Kobi. "Is this Mr. Vance?"

Staring at the phone for a long time, the man nodded and answered, "Yes, it's him. He looks like a cultured man with glasses."

"Do you know why he wanted to buy your house?"

"I didn't ask about that. Who cares why he bought it?"

Just then, Jimmy sensed that Esme, whose eyes were unfathomable, wanted to utter something. "Well, you seem to know something. May I know what it is?"

When she glanced at her husband, he waved his hand. "Say what you want, since the two men here are so generous."

Therefore, she narrated the story behind the transaction, "Mr. Vance came to see the house twice or thrice. At first, we refused to sell it. Later, Mr. Vance claimed that the house was left by his parents, for his mother used to live here for a long time. He thus hoped that we could sell the house to him. No matter how much we demanded, he would definitely buy it."

Jimmy's expression froze. "Did he really say that?" "Yes, I will always remember it because Mr. Vance paid a high price."

Unfortunately, her husband lost all the money because of gambling. They had no money and no house, which was why they had to work here.

Jimmy narrowed his eyes as if he was thinking about something.
