Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 639

The last name of Howard's mother was Chapman. When Alfred Chapman received the call from his grandson, he smiled and asked, "Howard, why are you so free to call me today?"

"Grandpa, I have something to ask you."

Then, Howard told Alfred about Jimmy's request to him. After Alfred heard it, he immediately frowned. "You want me to bail him out?"

"Yes."

"What did he do?"

However, Howard shook his head and answered, "I didn't ask."

Softly, Alfred uttered, "... Dear Howard, I think it's time for you to be more careful."

"Grandpa, he is my close friend, and I believe in him, so I didn't ask him anything. If you also believe in me, then I hope you can help me for once." In all sincerity and seriousness, Howard promised, "I grew up together with Jimmy, and I know his character well. He is definitely not a bad person, and there must be a reason why he was arrested."

Then, Alfred sighed. "I didn't know that you are a person who values relationships and loyalty. Okay, I'll call to ask what's going on. Which substation is he at?"

After Howard told Alfred the name of the police station, Alfred told Howard to give him a minute, then hung up.

As Howard put his phone in his pocket, he said, "It's done."

"What did your grandfather say?"

"He said he wanted to know more about the situation first, then he would call me back."

When Jimmy heard that, he nodded and waited patiently.

After a while, Howard's phone rang again. Immediately, Howard picked it up, but before he could speak, Alfred on the other side of the phone spoke first, "Howard, Jimmy's case is a little serious. Are you sure you want to help him?"

However, Howard didn't expect to hear the word "serious" from Alfred. For a moment, he was stunned, and he asked subconsciously, "How serious is it?"

Then, Alfred told Howard what he knew.

When Howard heard that, his eyes widened, but he didn't want to overreact, so he said, "Anyhow, I believe in Jimmy's conduct, and if you trust me, then help me this time."

Bitterly, Alfred smiled and said, "Yes, sure. I'll help."

"I'll visit you another day, okay? It's getting late. Grandpa, remember to sleep early."

After that, Howard hung up the phone.

Thirty minutes later, Jimmy was bailed from the police station. Not only Ricco, but also Ariah stared at Howard with wide eyes.

Apparently, Howard really did have a strong background!

As the four of them got in the car, Ricco drove, and Jimmy immediately ordered, "Go to the hospital."

With a nod, Ricco turned the steering wheel and headed toward the hospital.

Meanwhile, Jimmy wasn't idle as he took out his phone and made a few more calls. Finally, he called Ben. After Jimmy gave Ben some orders, Jimmy turned his head and saw that Ariah was still glaring at Howard in the backseat.

Then, Jimmy smiled, and hovered closer to Ariah, and said in a low voice, "Do you know the last name of the Chief Director of the Public Security Bureau?"

Immediately, Ariah shook her head.

"His last name is Chapman."

However, Ariah didn't understand Jimmy said, and she blinked her eyes in confusion.

In a low voice, Jimmy continued, "Howard's mother also had the same last name." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

As a quick- witted woman, when Ariah heard Jimmy's words, she suddenly understood what he meant. Only then did she realize the truth behind Howard's identity.

At that moment, Howard was in deep thoughts, thinking about what Alfred had told him on the phone. There were a few times where he glanced at Jimmy from the rearview mirror.

"If there's anything you want to ask, just go ahead and ask." In fact, Jimmy knew that he was curious.

"Did you really almost killed Kobi?" Straightforwardly, Howard blurted out without holding it back.

Then, Jimmy shot him a glance. "What if I told you it was true?"

After a moment of silence, Howard uttered, "Then let's head back to the police station now. It's not too late. We haven't driven very far from it."

Angrily, Ariah pinched him.

"Tsk." Immediately, Howard exclaimed. "Let go of me. I was kidding. Faster, let go of me. Jimmy, could you please keep an eye on Ariah? She's such a bully!"

However, Jimmy looked at Ariah with a smile, and his eyes were filled with love. At that moment, Howard felt goosebumps all over his body as he looked at Jimmy.

Then, Ariah stopped and let go of Howard's hand as she snorted, "Sit properly."

Immediately, Howard caressed the spot where he was pinched and mumbled at Ariah for being so fierce like a tigress...

This time, Ariah didn't bicker with Howard. In fact, she was actually grateful for Howard. If not for Howard's help, Jimmy wouldn't have been bailed out so easily.

In the hospital.

Since Ben received the call from Jimmy, he had been guarding at the hospital entrance. When he saw Jimmy came out of the car, his eyes widened in shock. "Captain... what's going on?"

"I'll tell you later." Immediately, Jimmy strode inside. "I asked you to come here because I need you to ask the hospital to cooperate with you and show us the surveillance camera so that I can go through it again."

Only if Jimmy were to see it with his own eyes, then he would feel at ease.

"Sure, Captain. Come with me. Before you arrived, I have already told the hospital security about my identity, and the surveillance footage has been prepared, so you can go straight to have a look at it."

Then, Ben took them to the monitoring room.

In the monitoring room.

After Jimmy had a close look at the footage on the monitor, he confirmed that the injured man was not the real Kobi.

It meant that Kobi had deliberately set this up and pinned the crime on Jimmy. But...what was the purpose of it?

How could Kobi do such a thing when they had been brothers for so many years?

When Jimmy continued to look at the CCTV footage and saw Kobi appearing in the ward, his face darkened.

Meanwhile, Howard stood at the back of them and looked at the surveillance footage in boredom. However, when he saw the footage on the monitor, he froze.

It was...

Could it be that he was mistaken?

Hurriedly, he went forward and suddenly said, "Jimmy, rewind the camera footage."

Then, Jimmy raised his eyebrows and looked at Howard. "What's wrong?"

"Just rewind it first."

When Jimmy saw the serious look on Howard's face, he didn't say anything else and directly rewound the footage.

"Right here. Pause it!" Howard said loudly.

Immediately, Jimmy pressed pause button.

On the monitoring screen, there were three people, one of whom was fake Kobi, the other was Emily, and the other one, who Jimmy didn't know his identity, but it was him who took the fake Kobi and Emily out of the ward.

"Do you know this person?" Straightforwardly, Jimmy asked.

However, Howard stared at the person on the screen, frowned, and murmured, "How could it be him?"

"Who is he?" Even Ariah could sense that Howard knew that person.

"He is..." Then, Howard glanced at them, pursed his lips as he pointed to the man on the monitor, and said, "He is a subordinate of one person, whom I know."

The words of Howard stunned the three of them.

In the end, Jimmy was the first to react. With a sharp gaze, he stood up and asked, "Can you find a way to contact him?"

For a moment, Howard hesitated. In fact, his mind was in a state of chaos because he had never expected that someone he knew would be involved in this matter.

"Say something!" Anxiously, Ariah screamed, "Howard, don't keep us guessing. Tell us quickly, can you find this person?"

If they could find this person, they might be able to locate the fake Kobi and Emily!

Then, Howard licked his lips and nodded. "I'll try, but I'm not sure whether he will answer my call or not."

In an apartment.

After Kevin bandaged his wound, there was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. As he leaned against the chair and gasped for air, his gaze that was as cold as a snake stared at Emily, who was at the corner.

If Kobi were to cause him any more injuries, Kevin would take revenge on Emily!

"Come here!" Coldly, Kevin ordered.
