Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 688

At the Pooler residence.

Mateo was at the corner of the hall, making a phone call. He was speaking in a respectful and humble manner.

His henchman couldn't help but wonder who exactly was this Mr. Lennon?

He actually made the infamous Mr. Mateo Pooler bow down to him.

Furthermore, he even manipulated the Pooler Family to go to the hospital to kidnap a woman in broad daylight.

They thought that she was just an ordinary woman, but they didn't expect that kidnapping this woman would invite so many troubles one after another.

It even brought Jimmy to their place.

Jimmy Hudson was the youngest and most promising deputy director of the police bureau in Beachmarsh City with a bright future. Although the Pooler Family was quite reputable in the city, they belonged to the dark side of the underworld after all.

If they offended Jimmy because of this matter, it might greatly affect their business in the future.

After ending the phone call, Mateo came back and said to his henchman, "Where is that man? Is he still locked up?"

"Yes," the henchman regained his composure and replied. "Who is he, sir? It seems that you are quite wary of him."

"He's from Mathines. His father is somewhat influential in the underworld, so I must not offend him." Mateo thought for a while and said, "Take me to see him."

His henchman quickly led the way.

They came to a room where Mateo pushed the door open and went in. The man in the room shouted furiously, "How dare you locked me here?"

Mateo smiled apologetically. "Please calm down, Mr. Eric. We are here to let you go."

However, Eric refused to go. "There's a saying in Estar that goes, 'it's easier to invite the devil in than to send him away.' Well, I don't want to leave now."

At once, Mateo knew that he was negotiating with him. "What do you mean, Mr. Eric?"

"Your family is involved in my sister's kidnapping, isn't it?" Eric asked directly.

Mateo and Eric had met before when they were abroad. It was at a nightclub where both of them took a fancy to the same girl and almost got into a brawl.

Later, Lennon's men came to dissolve their dispute, so Eric let him go.

This time at Beachmarsh City, Mateo skipped his mind when Emily was kidnapped, but Eric started to suspect Mateo after hearing Ariah's remark.

However, he didn't know where Mateo lived. After obtaining his address through several phone calls and connections, he drove here.

As a result, he was locked up in the room by Mateo's men.

Now, he was determined to stay until they released Emily.

"Your sister? What do you mean?" Mateo was shocked.

Eric sneered, "We were in a brawl half a year ago. You have held a grudge against me ever since and when you knew that I came to Beachmarsh City, you went to the hospital to kidnap my sister just to retaliate against me!"

Now, Mateo was dumbfounded. That woman was actually Eric's sister?

He thought that she was just an ordinary woman but never did he expect that she came from such a powerful background!

Deep inside, he cursed himself for being so foolish. Of course, the woman Mr. Lennon wanted couldn't be an ordinary woman.

How come he didn't even think of this?

In an instant, Mateo was covered in a cold sweat. "Mr. Eric, yes, I do have something to do with your sister's matter, and my men did take part in the kidnapping, too, but I honestly don't know where your sister is!"

Eric frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"My man was just a guide who was in charge of taking them to the hospital. After they kidnapped your sister, they got into a different car and left!"

Mateo explained, "You know the person who kidnapped your sister."

"I do?"

"Yes. It was Mr. Lennon."

Surprised to hear the name, Eric took a deep breath and wondered when did Lennon come to Beachmarsh City.

He didn't get any less worried after learning that Emily was in his hands.
