Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 545

Jimmy smiled and replied, "Hey. I'm here to fetch something for Ariah."

Thinking of something, Lindsey said, "Loria, I'll take Jimmy to look for Ariah's things. You may go back to your business." Loria just nodded and left.

"Jimmy, what are you looking for?" Lindsey walked over and got herself very close to him. "Maybe I can be of help."

"Oh, cool. Where did Ariah used to live, by the way?" Jimmy didn't seem to notice her difference and walked upstairs with her.

"The attic," Lindsey blurted out.

The attic?

Jimmy's face darkened.

Sensing his upset look, Lindsey quickly added, "Well, she said that the attic is quiet, so she wanted to live there. Dad had once suggested she move downstairs, but she refused." "Really?" Jimmy's face remained black.

Even though he didn't know much about the Myers Family, he was still aware that Ariah only got accepted into the Myers at the age of ten.

He had always known that Felix never really liked her, which was obvious when he came visiting last time.

Nevertheless, he had never expected that Ariah had been mistreated since she was a kid.

Didn't Ariah's mother feel a little sorry for her at all? Jimmy frowned. "How long had she lived there?"

"A couple of years." Lindsey was getting a little annoyed that he kept asking about Ariah, so she wanted to change the topic. "Jimmy, since you're here, why don't you have dinner with us tonight? I'll ask the servants to cook your favorite dishes and you could just stay here overnight if it gets too late."

Hearing that, Jimmy sneered and glanced at her. "Stay here overnight? With who? You?"

Instantly, Lindsey blushed and held his arm, rubbing herself on him coquettishly. "Jimmy, watch out for the frame. Don't bump your head."

However, he just pushed her away with a disgusted look.

Lindsey was stunned for a moment.

Meanwhile, Jimmy pushed opened the door of the room and bent down slightly to enter. The room was quite tiny, gloomy, and cold. Besides a small bed, there was a small bookcase that was shelved with some high school textbooks. Apart from that, there were just a few odds and ends.

At the same time, Lindsey followed in and asked discontentedly, "Why did you push me away just now?"

Then, she closed the door, which made the tiny room even crowded.

"Well, I don't want to be misunderstood. Why did you close the door though?" Jimmy glanced at her lightly.

With an innocent look, Lindsey looked up at him and said, "Jimmy, you know what I want."

"Oh?"

Instantly, Lindsey circled her arms around his waist and said with a bitter tone, "You were supposed to marry me. Back then, both our families had arranged for us to get married, but I hadn't known you yet, which was why I refused. In the end, my father asked my sister to marry you instead... and now I'm regretting it..."

In the past few years, she had seen how Jimmy had pampered Ariah, which made her jealous.

She was unwilling to accept the fact that the man that she should have been married to was now Ariah's husband and that Ariah even lived a good life.

Besides, Jimmy was getting more and more powerful in recent years, and his future seemed to be quite promising. So naturally, as his wife, one would also get wealthy.

Thinking about that, Lindsey held him tightly and pleaded, "I regret it now. Will you give me another chance to be with you?"

"To be with me?" Jimmy's voice sounded above her. "You want me to take you two in?"

"Well, I wouldn't mind if you want it this way..." Lindsey said shyly.

Patting her lightly on the shoulder, Jimmy then said, "Let me go first."

Hearing that, Lindsey was happy and thought that he was finally willing to accept her, so she loosened her grip. However, she missed the disgusted look that flashed across his eyes. "Let me ask you something first," said Jimmy.

Lindsey nodded. "Sure, go ahead."

"Where did Ariah go to college?"

"Huh?"

"Do you want me to repeat that?"

"Oh, no. 1-1 heard you."

"Then, answer me."

"She studied abroad. Why do you ask though?"

Lindsey was puzzled.

Almost right away, Jimmy frowned. He didn't expect her to be really studying abroad. She never mentioned it before.

"Jimmy, you alright?" Lindsey waved in front of him.

"Last time you told me that Ariah didn't want to marry me and that she still loves another man secretly. Do you know who that man is?"

"Well, I don't know his name. I just vaguely remembered that the man had once saved her before..." Lindsey pouted and continued, "I think it happened when she was still in high school. She was confronted by a few gangsters and almost got raped. But the man saved her, so she fell in love with him."

Lindsey then took the opportunity to embellish the story further. "However, there's something more to that. Do you know why she chose to study abroad? Well, it was because of him. That man was studying abroad back then..."

Right then, Lindsey stopped, because Jimmy looked quite sullen.

Sensing the gloomy aura emanating from him, she even took two steps back and swallowed hard.

Without saying anything, Jimmy turned around and left, to which Lindsey stamped her feet in frustration and followed as she hadn't accomplished what she wanted to do yet.

"Jimmy!" Lindsey caught up with him and grabbed his arm.

"Piss off!"

This time, Jimmy pushed her away rudely and she fell to the ground right away. Bearing the pain, she then got up and snapped, "How dare you!"

Jimmy merely looked at her coldly and mocked, "Are you that desperate for a man?"

With a pale face, Lindsey looked at him in disbelief. Just now, he was still very gentle to her, so why did his attitude change completely all of a sudden?

Was he just using her to get information on Ariah?

So she was being used?

Upon realizing that, Lindsey grew angry and glared at Jimmy's handsome yet cool face with resentment. Then, she lost it completely and unbuttoned her dress while screaming, "Help! Someone come help me..."

Her scream attracted the attention of the servants. Instantly, a few servants ran up to her in panic and asked, "What's wrong, Lindsey?"

Seeing that, Lindsey threw herself into a maid's arms and cried, "Jimmy was... trying to take advantage of me..."

The maid looked at Jimmy, who just stood there coldly, in surprise.

Nevertheless, the maid did not dare to stare at him long and stuttered, "Is, is there some misunderstanding?"

Lindsey just kept crying. Her dress was unbuttoned a little already. Apparently, she had been bullied. Seeing that, the maid phoned Felix and told him what had happened.
