Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 685

At the Pooler Family's hillside mansion.

It was already growing dusk by the time Jimmy and Ariah arrived. As they stood in front of the heavily guarded mansion, there were a dozen bodyguards standing guard at every door.

It was like a scene in a movie.

Holding Ariah's hand firmly, Jimmy reassured, "Relax."

"I am." Despite her confidence, she grabbed his hand tightly.

Jimmy glanced at her with a faint smile. Ariah grabbed his sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't David call us? What about Eric? Didn't he come here too? Where are they?"

As she reminded him, Jimmy frowned when thought of this matter. Regardless, He walked towards the Pooler residence's entrance.

The bodyguard stopped them and asked, "Who are you?"

Jimmy raised his eyebrows and said, "Is Mateo in? I want to see him. Please let him know that I'm here."

The bodyguard was rather astounded at Jimmy's relaxed and calm tone, and he even stated Mateo Pooler's name. He exchanged skeptical glances with another bodyguard before asking, "What's your name, please?"

"Jimmy Hudson."

Upon hearing his name, the bodyguards, who were familiar with the big families in the city, guessed that he was from the Hudson Family, so one of them immediately said, "Mr. Hudson, please wait a moment. I'll go in to inform Mr. Pooler about your visit."

After the bodyguards left, Ariah teased, "Wow, even the gangsters know that you're Mr. Hudson?"

Jimmy winked at her and said, "Of course. Don't you know how famous I am?"

In response, Ariah gasped curiously. "You are? How famous? Tell me!"

However, Jimmy simply glanced at her quietly with a smile.

He wouldn't budge no matter how Ariah pestered him, so she felt discouraged. After a short while, she gushed hastily, "I think it's better that we call David. I'm a little worried."

On the way here, David said that he had followed Eric to the Pooler residence, but now they were nowhere to be seen.

Frowning, Jimmy took out his phone and gave David a call. However, the call was connected but no one answered it.

"David will never refuse my call," he mumbled.

"Did something happen to him?" Ariah glowered nervously.

"Don't worry. He's a policeman. No one would harm him."

Ariah felt a little more at ease after hearing his remark.

At this moment, the main door of the Pooler residence was opened, and footsteps could be heard coming from within followed by a crisp voice, "He's my honorable guest. Why don't you invite him in?"

The bodyguard replied, "I didn't know there would be guests coming today."

After a while, a slender male figure came out. Jimmy whispered, "This is Mateo Pooler, the heir of the Pooler family."

Ariah nodded.

Earlier, Mateo was taken aback when he heard that it was Jimmy who came to visit, and he wondered what brought him here.

Mateo would take over the Pooler Family in the future, so the first thing he had to do was to build a good relationship with the high officials in Beachmarsh City. He always wanted to curry favor with the Hudson Family, yet he didn't have a chance to do so. To his surprise, Jimmy came on his own today.

"Hi, Deputy Director Hudson. It's my honor to have you here today." Mateo smiled. He turned to Ariah and quickly looked away. "May I know what's the occasion of your visit? Where's your team?"

Jimmy smiled. "I'm here to discuss something with you, Mr. Pooler."
