Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 714

Lindsey was stunned when she felt Ariah putting her arm around her shoulder.

The next second, she felt as though she was possessed. Unable to control herself, she started staring at Ariah's finger.

Ariah's voice was so gentle and tempting. "I'm going to count to three now, and you have to listen to my instructions after that."

Lindsey looked blank.

After counting to three, Ariah took two steps back. Then, she smiled at her and said, "Slap yourself."

As though a wind-up toy, Lindsey began to slap her own face over and over again.

Ariah went back to the sofa and sipped on her tea leisurely.

When Dakota came out of the kitchen and saw Lindsey slapping herself, she was shocked. "Lindsey!"

Hearing Dakota's scream,

Lindsey immediately jolted awake.

Shouting, Lindsey touched her red and swollen cheeks. After a moment of confusion, she suddenly came back to her senses. Fear filled her eyes as she glared at Ariah, " What did you do to me?"

Ariah looked at her innocently as she said, "Lindsey, you freaked me out just now. You wanted to spill the tea on me but I avoided it, and right when I was about to speak, you suddenly started slapping yourself like you were possessed. You scared the sh*t out of me."

After saying that, she hid behind Dakota, caressing her stomach. "I don't know what's wrong with her, Mom."

Dakota pushed Ariah behind her to protect her. Now that Ariah was pregnant, they had to be extra careful. Lindsey was a petty woman. Dakota was afraid that she might do something to hurt Ariah.

Furious, Lindsey shouted, "Don't try to play innocent with me! You did something to me!"

With a confused look on her face, Ariah shook her head, "What are you talking about, Lindsey? What did I do to you? You suddenly started slapping yourself like a lunatic. I called you a few times, but you ignored me. Are you sick? Do you want me to bring you to the hospital for a checkup?"

"Shut up! You're crazy!"

Lindsey desperately wanted to beat Ariah up. She obviously did something to her, but she was acting innocent, pretending that she cared about

her.

That made her even angrier!

Frowning, Dakota pulled Ariah's hand. "Ariah, go wait in the kitchen. I cooked some soup in the morning. You can have some of that first."

"Okay." Ariah went to the kitchen obediently.

After Ariah left, Dakota warned Lindsey coldly, "Lindsey, Ariah is your sister. I know you don't like her. When you were young, you often tripped her and framed her. I turned a blind eye to what you did and even asked her to let you go because I thought you were young and ignorant, but you can't keep bullying her just because she's kind to you!"

"She is pregnant now, and she'll come back often in the future. You'd better behave yourself. If something happens to her because of you, I will not let you off!"

Lindsey had never seen Dakota so fierce before. She was totally different from her usual timid and weak self.

Terrified, Lindsey took two steps back. After she could finally think straight, she felt a wave of anger and embarrassment wash over her. "How dare you scold me?! I'll tell my father..."

"What are you going to tell your father?" Dakota suddenly grabbed Lindsey's wrist and whispered in her ear, "Tell him that his daughter..."

Dakota's voice was so low that no one else could hear what she said next. Standing by the door of the kitchen, Ariah wondered what her mother just told Lindsey.

After listening to what Dakota said, Lindsey felt herself turning pale. She took a few steps back before suddenly falling to the ground. Looking at her mother fearfully, she stuttered, "You... you..."

She could not get a word out.

Looking at her calmly, Dakota said, "As long as you treat Ariah well and don't cause her any trouble, I won't expose your secrets."

After saying that, Dakota reached out to pull Lindsey up. Then, she said softly, "I made some soup. Would you like to drink some?"
