Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 624

Ariah called Ben first, but he didn't answer. "Is he really on a mission?" she muttered.

After thinking about it, she called David, who quickly picked up the phone. "Hello, are you looking for me?"

Ariah was taken aback. "I thought you guys are on a mission?"

"What kind of task is it? There's no mission today. Why did you ask the question?"

Bewildered, Ariah told him everything about how she had been trying to call Jimmy and Ben "They didn't pick up the calls, so I thought you guys were busy."

"No, we are not on a mission today. Ben seemed to be on leave, while Jimmy is absent. Is he on leave too?"

Pausing for a while, David asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Isn't Jimmy with you?"

Ariah frowned. If Jimmy didn't go to the police station, then where did he go?

Did that mean he didn't go to his unit after sending her off this morning?

It suddenly occurred to her that Kevin still had not been arrested...

The thought made her feel worried. Just as she was about to speak to Ben, her phone suddenly vibrated. She took it down and saw that it was a call from Jimmy.

Ariah thus let out a sigh of relief, "Oh, Jimmy is calling. Let's chat later."

"Okay. Quickly answer his call now."

"Sure."

After hanging up, she immediately spoke to Jimmy, "Hey, why didn't you answer my phone?"

Jimmy's gruff voice came from the other side. "I'm with Stanley, and my phone was in my car. Why are you looking for me?"

"Emily is in trouble. Please go back to the Hudson Family now."

With a frown, Jimmy asked, "What happened to her?"

"She's missing."

"Did you lodge a police report?"

"I think Mack has called the police because there were policemen in the house."

Jimmy nodded. "Then wait for me at home. I'll be right there."

"Okay."

After that, Jimmy threw his mobile phone aside. The passenger seat was full of documents taken from Stanley's office.

It was full of clues found by Stanley in Mathines, which indicated that Kobi had secretly been in touch with Kevin over the years.

Kobi must have paid Kevin quite a handsome amount of money.

It was all spent on medical treatments...

If Jimmy's guess was right, Kevin did not die in the fire that year. After escaping from death, he began to receive treatment abroad, which was when he started to get in touch with Kobi.

However, why did Kobi want to contact Kevin?

What was the man's intention?

Was he using Kevin to deal with Jimmy? Or was he just acquainted with Kevin?

No, that coincidence would be too scary.

There must be some kind of mutual interest between the two of them, but Jimmy couldn't figure out exactly what it was.

While he was thinking about the issue, his phone suddenly rang.

He thought that Ariah had called again, but when he picked it up, he realized that it was a call from Kobi.

It just so happened that he had a few questions that he wanted to ask.

With a dark face, he answered the phone, "Hello?"

Kobi's sneering voice then came from the other end. "Are you free now?"

"What do you want?"

"I want to meet you."

Upon hearing that, Jimmy raised his eyebrows. "Hey, how can you still be in the mood to meet me? Do you know that Emily is missing?"

"Yes, I know that."

"Aren't you worried?"

"Well, she must be having fun somewhere else. She will come back after two days. As with any youngster, she is very playful. When she was abroad, she often left her home for days for various issues."

"Did she do that very often?"

"Yes, to a certain extent."

"Since you are sure that nothing will happen to her, I'd better tell my family about it. My parents are so worried that they have called the police. They thought that Emily is missing."

Jimmy decided not to alert the Kobi at the moment, for Kobi might be the clue to find Kevin.

Therefore, he had to suppress his curiosity.

"So you don't want to meet me now?" asked Kobi with a frown.

'TH meet you when I have time." Jimmy thought for a moment and continued, "I'll go back to the Hudson Family, who is very worried about Emily."

"I'll tell my parents about that." Kobi said directly, "Can't we meet today? I have something to tell you."

Jimmy raised his eyebrows. "Why do you keep asking me to come over? What's so important?"

Knowing that Jimmy had got suspicious, Kobi took a deep breath and said slowly, "I know the news about Nicole. Do you want to know about it?"

Jimmy's hand, which was holding the phone, suddenly froze.

"Mack and Ella, I've already contacted Jimmy."

After hanging up Jimmy's call, Ariah returned to the living room and repeated the message, "He said he'd come over soon. Don't worry."

Ella finally heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good."

Then, he looked at her again and said faintly, "It was a surprise to see you drive all the way here. You haven't even drunk a mouthful of water. Come Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

and sit here."

After that, she called out again, "Maya, bring Ariah a cup of jasmine tea."

Flattered, Ariah said, "it's okay. I'm fine."

Ella snorted. "If Jimmy knows that I don't even prepare a cup of tea for you, he will definitely get angry."

There was a trace of helplessness in her tone.

Left with no choice, Ariah decided to sit down obediently since Ella was treating her so well.

At this time, a man in police uniform came down from the stairs.

Mack immediately got up and asked, "Beckett, have you found any clues?"

It was Mack who called these policemen.

In response, Officer Bishop shook his head and replied, "Nothing can be found in the bedroom. I don't think the room has been robbed since everything there is in good condition."

Anxiously, Ella inquired, "Then why would an adult go missing all of a sudden?"

Mack was also perplexed by this question.

Once Officer Bishop cleared his throat, he glanced at the two of them before saying, "Did Miss Emily have any conflicts with anyone before this?"

In a glacial tone, Mack answered, "Are you suspecting anyone behind her disappearance?"

"Because of my profession, I tend to think a little bit too much sometimes," he replied with an awkward smile.

Mack didn't utter anything although his brows were knitted tightly.

"I heard that Emily is your daughter-in-law, and she just came back from abroad, so it's quite unlikely for her to have offended anyone."
