Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 492

Being choked by the smoke, Ben and Edward almost burst into tears.

"Ahem..."

Coughing, they asked, "Capt., why don't you turn on the light?"

Not only were the lights off, but even the windows were shut. It was really stuffy.

Thinking about that, Ben hinted at Edward, who then immediately ran to open the windows. Finally, fresh air came in.

Meanwhile, Jimmy sat on the sofa, smoking silently. His face was stern and there were dark circles under his eyes. On the tea table, the ashtray was full.

"Capt., you can't keep on smoking like this. It's bad for your health!" Edward could not help but comfort him, "Director Sherlock has already informed his superior on this. All the police departments in the city will join in the rescue. We will definitely be able to find out Ariah 1"

Ben also said, "Indeed, Capt. The members of the Special Task Force are experts from all fields. So we could definitely..."

Before Ben could finish, Jimmy suddenly put off the cig in his hand and walked out.

"Capt., what's wrong?" Ben was shocked.

Jimmy didn't look back. "Nothing. I'm just going out for a walk. I'll be back soon."

"Oh."

Hearing that, Ben nodded.

After a while, Ben came to think of something. "Hey, did you see the expression on his face just now? He didn't seem like just taking a walk. Could he be..."

"Nah, I don't overthink it!"

"Alright, hopefully I'm just overthinking it."

Jimmy drove all the way to an old residential area. The building was quite shabby, and I stained the walls with mildew.

Taking out a gun from his waist, he kicked open the door of an apartment and strode in.

The two men in the room didn't expect someone to suddenly break in and quickly pulled out their guns. Jimmy swiftly punched the short man, who then squatted down, covering his nose.

Then, with the gun in his hand, Jimmy pointed at the other man's forehead. "Ricco, ask your man to stay still!"

Ricco glanced at the man squatting on the ground and ordered, "Felipe, don't move."

Hearing that, Felipe remained still.

Jimmy then went straight to the point and asked, "Do you know Kevin Bradbury?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb!" Jimmy scowled, "Ricco, if anything happens to Ariah, I won't let you off!"

Instantly, Ricco's face changed a little. With a frown, he pushed away Jimmy's gun and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Ariah's taken away by Kevin Bradbury. If you still care about her, then tell me everything you know!" said Jimmy as he looked squarely at Ricco.

"You think I know Kevin and that I know where he took her?"

Immediately, Jimmy went silent. The reason that he came to Ricco now was that he had no other choice. When Ariah was kidnapped last time, Ricco was the one who saved Ariah before he did. So he thought that Ricco might know something this time as well...

"Then, there started to be similar cases in Beachmarsh City too, so I came here." Speaking of this, Ricco remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, the first night when I came here, I met Ariah in a bar. She was drunk and surrounded by a few thugs who tried to take advantage of her. So I helped her out."

Later, he realized that Ariah was actually Jimmy's wife.

Hearing that, Jimmy gritted his teeth. "Oh, really? Thank you for helping my wife then."

"Don't mention it." As if he didn't see the dark look on Jimmy's face, he narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "Now that I think about it, Ariah was like a hooligan then. She kept throwing herself on me and even wanted to kiss me. If I hadn't been agile in dodging her, she could have taken advantage of me..."

"Shut up!" Jimmy was livid when he heard this.

Ricco just shot him a glance and commented,

"Jimmy, don't be so short-tempered. It's not a big deal."

Jimmy was speechless.

Of course, a man would get angry when someone called his wife a hooligan.

Nevertheless, Jimmy took a deep breath and got back to the subject. "What happened after that?"

"Well, I decided to stay here. I thought that since you were the one who killed him, he would definitely come back for you if he hadn't died. So I took the chance to lie low beside you and your wife. That way, if Kevin appears, I'll be able to catch him!"

"Last time when Ariah was kidnapped, I thought it was Kevin who did it, but it turned out to be an imitation."

The imitater was the killer clown. He was a psychopath who imitated Kevin's way of killing, thus making Ricco think that Kevin had appeared in Beachmarsh City.

"Therefore, in the past few days, I've been wondering if I had misjudged and that Kevin had died already..."
