Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 696

It was a call from Nicole.

At first, Jimmy thought Emily was lying, so he took it with a grain of salt and gave the number a call just now. However, he didn't expect that it was really Nicole who answered the phone.

In fact, Jimmy had been looking for her for so many years, and now he finally knew that she was still alive.

"Nicole?" Softly, Jimmy answered the phone.

On the other end of the line came Nicole's panic-stricken voice. "Jimmy, he's drunk, and he's losing his temper now. I've locked myself up in the room. There aren't many people in his villa recently, so it would be a good chance for me to escape now. I can only count on you."

As Jimmy strode to the parking lot, he said, "Send me the location!"

"Alright!" Immediately, Nicole lowered her voice, "Be careful when you come over. All of his men have guns in their hands."

"I know." Then, Jimmy exhorted. "Take good care of yourself. I will be right over."

Obediently, Nicole agreed.

Then, Jimmy hung up the phone and got into the car. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and turned his head to look. Frozen, Ariah stood where she was and looked at him expressionlessly.

Immediately, Jimmy opened the door and got off the car. As he went up to Ariah and wanted to reach out to hug her, Ariah took two steps back and dodged his outstretched hand.

Just like that, Jimmy's hand froze in midair.

In the end, he made up his mind and turned to leave. Before he got back into the car, he told Emily, "Take Ariah back with you and take good care of her."

"Oh, okay. Sure."

Hurriedly, Emily nodded.

After that, Jimmy drove off.

As Ariah stood where she was, she smiled mockingly when Jimmy's car went out of sight.

When Emily noticed how bad Ariah's expression seemed, she did not dare to say anything. However, Emily felt even guiltier when she realized that things had turned sour because she had said something she should not have said.

On the way back, Ariah remained silent. Whereas Emily, who was sitting next to Ariah, had a few times when she wanted to speak, but she managed to refrain from doing it.

Oh dear, why did she always had to screw things up!

Was it really like what Lennon had said, that no matter what Emily did, she would end up screwing things up?

The two women in the car remained silent throughout the entire journey.

When they arrived at Ariah's residential area, the driver pulled over. Then, Ariah paid him, and the two of them went upstairs silently.

After Emily looked at Ariah several times, in the end, she could not help but say, "Ariah, are you going to cry?"

Shocked, Ariah asked, "What?"

Then, Emily uttered, "You seem so sad, and you look like you're about to cry."

Suddenly, Ariah stood where she was and didn't move. Slowly, the corner of her mouth twitched into a bitter smile. "I look like I'm going to cry, right? However, I won't cry. I just feel like scolding someone."

Taken aback, Emily's eyes widened, "W-Who are you going to scold?"

"Don't worry. I'm not going to scold you. You didn't do anything wrong." With a sneer, Ariah said, "Since Jimmy decided to walk out on me today, he better not expect me to restore our marriage in the future."

"Oh, my." Quickly, Emily grabbed Ariah's hand. "Don't do that... because if you do that, I will blame myself for what had happened."

However, Ariah shook her head and changed the topic, "Emily, can you tell me about the details of what had happened between you and Nicole?"

With a frown, Emily explained, "As for the details..." after a pause, Emily thought and continued, "There was nothing much actually. It was her who came to me on her own accord and told me that she had a way to help me escape Lennon's villa. However, all I had to do in return was to pass Jimmy a message... that's all."

In the end, Emily thought of something and hurriedly said, "Nicole did give me a number and asked me to pass it to Jimmy. At that time, her expression was very anxious, as if she was afraid of being discovered. I only met the man who came with her once. Although he was quite handsome, his gaze was particularly gloomy and scary, and I didn't dare to look at him straight in the eye."

"Nicole seems to be quite afraid of that man. Since she called Jimmy to save her, she probably is in danger right now..."

As Emily explained, she carefully looked at Ariah, "Ariah, don't be angry with Jimmy. He is just trying to save her from danger."
