Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 493

Jimmy fell silent upon listening to Ricco's words. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Well, Kevin is not dead."

Instantly, Ricco paused smoking. Half of his face was hidden in the dark as he sneered. "I'm glad that he's not dead. I'll send him to hell myself."

"Do you have a grudge against him?"

"Tell me, how did you know that Kevin's still alive?" The two men's voices rang out at the same time.

Jimmy was stunned a little before he smiled and said, "I had a hunch two years ago."

"What?" Ricco frowned. "You knew that Kevin's still alive two years ago?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"Two years ago, he went to find Anna. She was thus traumatized and got sick for three days straight. During then, she kept mumbling that Kevin was still alive and he came back... After she got better, I hired a bodyguard to protect her all time, but Kevin never appeared again. So I thought that this had come to an end."

Jimmy briefly told him what had happened back then.

Upon hearing that, Ricco squinted at him for a while and suddenly said, "Anna went to show Ariah the photos two years ago too, right? Isn't it a bit too coincidental that both events occurred in the same year..." Jimmy stiffened.

"If I were you, knowing that the enemy that I tried to kill hasn't died yet and might even hurt my wife, I would find a way to protect her by divorcing her, and cheating would be the best excuse. So this explains why Anna went to show Ariah the photos of you two..."

"Shut up!"

Jimmy swung his fist at him.

And Ricco was a little slow in dodging it so he was hit in the face.

Taking a deep breath, he cursed angrily, "B*stard, if you dare to hit me again, I'll definitely make you pay it back!"

Jimmy shrugged his shoulders and was about to say something else. Abruptly, his phone rang. It was an unknown number. "Hello." He answered the phone.

"Tsk..."

A chuckle came from the other end of the phone.

Immediately, Jimmy tensed up and put on the speaker mode, mouthing to Ricco silently, "Kevin!"

Ricco's expression changed.

Calming himself down, Jimmy asked, "Who are you?"

"Jimmy, how are you doing? I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still like to play dumb to trick me, just like your wife."

Stunned, Jimmy then demanded in anger, "Kevin, where's Ariah?"

"Whoa, I haven't heard anyone calling that name in a while. I kinda miss it." The man on the other end of the line chuckled. "Anyway, you know why I call you." "What do you want?"

"Come to see me, alone. If you bring the police, you know what I'll do."

Jimmy took a deep breath and replied, "Give me the address."

The place was located in the suburb. Hanging up the phone, Jimmy strode out. But then, he turned back and asked, "Are you gonna follow me?"

Ricco raised his eyebrows at him. "Do you think that I'll just stay here?"

"But he asked me to go there alone..." "Tsk, you think you could handle him alone?" Ricco snorted and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Felipe and I will come with you. With the three of us, I'm sure we can finish him up this time!"

Having no choice, Jimmy could only accept it. "Alright, but you two have to act according to my plan..."

"Sure, let's discuss it on the way."

Jimmy said nothing more.

On the other hand, Ariah opened her eyes and realized that she had been tied to a chair, and Anna was next to her, but she wasn't tied and looked quite confused as if she didn't know where she was.

"Anna?"

Anna didn't respond.

Ariah's heart jolted. Anna looked a little weird...

"She's out of her wits already." The man's voice sounded behind her.

"She wouldn't dare to run anymore. But you're different. In order to prevent you from causing any trouble, I could only tie you up."

After saying that, the man walked to her front, still wearing that clown mask. Seeing that, Ariah couldn't help but sneer.

"What are you laughing at?"

The man narrowed his eyes.

Ariah raised her chin, pointing at his mask. "I was wondering when you're gonna remove that mask."

"Oh, are you curious about my look?"

Ariah was just about to say that she wasn't interested in his appearance when the man took off his mask, and Ariah was stunned.

He looked quite handsome.

Ariah had seen many brutal murderers on TV. They all looked gloomy. There was hardly anyone who would be as good-looking as this man. The man then raised her chin. "Are you in a daze?"

Ariah shook off his hand and made a look that was about to throw up. "Don't touch me!"

With a pause, Ariah asked again, "What's your name?"

"Kevin Bradbury."

"Why do you hate Jimmy?"

Hearing that, Kevin chuckled and said, "You've asked too many questions. It should be my turn now."

Ariah didn't care, just as long as he would talk to her, so she could get some information out of him. Therefore, she nodded. "Sure. What would you like to know?"

"Are you and Jimmy faking a divorce?"

Instantly, Ariah was dumbfounded. "Wh-what?" This man actually knew that she was divorced? "Looks like it's not?" Seeing her astonished expression, Kevin raised his eyebrows and continued, "Since you guys had really divorced, well, please enjoy the show later."

"What show?"

Kevin bent down and smiled at her strangely. "You'll know when he comes."

He?

Ariah was completely puzzled and widened her eyes. Just as she wanted to shoot another question, the door was suddenly pushed open. Looking up, she saw a familiar figure and she froze.

It was Jimmy...

He came here alone?

Blankly, Ariah stared at him as he gradually walked out of the darkness.
