Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 686

On the car, David was huffing exasperatedly while Ariah remained silent.

When they arrived downtown and stopped at the red light, Jimmy turned to Ariah and asked, "What's on your mind?"

Ariah had been silent since she left the Pooler residence, looking serious and solemn. He couldn't tell what was playing in her mind.

After pondering for a moment, she said, "There's an obvious change of attitude after Mateo heard you mention Emily. I refuse to believe that he doesn't know anything about Emily's kidnapping."

"He knows!" David echoed, "That foreigner, I mean Eric, went directly to the Pooler residence. If he didn't know anything, why did he go there?"

Ariah turned around to look at him. "David, tell me about Eric. Did he do anything odd?"

"After Eric left the hotel, I followed him. He went straight to the Pooler Family. I saw him talk to the bodyguards with my own eyes, and then they let him in. I wanted to leave, but the bodyguards caught me and locked me up in a room. You came not long after and... here we are."

This was all that he went through.

After David finished recounting his story, Ariah frowned. "But we didn't see Eric when we were there."

"He must be upstairs." David muttered, "How come a foreigner knows the Pooler Family? This is a bit beyond my expectations."

Tapping the steering wheel lightly, Jimmy was deep in thought until the traffic light turned green that he started driving again. He sent David back to the station before heading to the hospital.

"Who are we seeing?" Ariah asked curiously.

"Kobi, I promised him that I'll help him find Emily, so I need to tell him what happened today."

"Oh, I see." Ariah thought about it and nodded.

After a while, she couldn't help but relent, "Since Eric is at the Pooler residence, Emily should be there too. If only we could forcibly search their house just now. They would have to explain themselves if we found Emily."

Jimmy concentrated on the road. "If I've gone there alone, I would have negotiated with them, but you were with me. I can't risk it, so I can't go up against them."

Moreover, he had stated his intention to the Pooler Family today, so they would definitely give themselves away. All he had to do was to send someone after them.

"So he was afraid that I would get hurt?" Ariah thought as she peeked at Jimmy.

Soon after, they arrived at the hospital. Jimmy went straight to Kobi's ward while Ariah waited outside.

After telling Kobi everything that happened, Kobi sat up and questioned hurriedly, "The Pooler Family? How did they get involved with Emily's kidnapping?"

Jimmy shook his head. "I'm not too sure either."

Kobi frowned. He tried to find the connection between Emily and the Pooler Family to no avail.

The Pooler Family was a mafia family. He had heard of them before he went abroad, so he couldn't help but be shocked when Jimmy told him their connection with Emily's kidnapping

He had heard his father mention how shady the Pooler Family was before.

Their family's motto was to be cruel and merciless without any regard to achieve their goal. The three generations of the family were involved in the underworld. They were the authentic mafia family.

If Emily fell into their hands, she would be in great danger.

Jimmy sat by his bed, silently waiting for his reply.

Waiting for his genuine accord.

Before going to the Pooler residence, he knew that Kobi did not truly agree to stop what he was doing although he had agreed to his terms.

He was now betting on how important Emily was to him.

He wanted to see if Kobi would continue plotting his scheme or ensure Emily's safety.
