Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 638

"What did you see in Kobi's ward?"

As Jimmy took a look at Ricco, he asked directly.

However, Ricco looked at Ariah and hesitated.

Then, Jimmy raised his head and tapped his slender fingers on the table. "Go ahead."

What Jimmy meant was that Ricco could say it in front of Ariah, and he didn't have to worry about it, so Ricco said straightforwardly, "I went to Kobi's ward and saw something shocking."

Curiously, Ariah continued to ask, "What is it?"

Immediately, Ricco showed two of his fingers and answered, "I saw two Kobi."

Two Kobi!

Shocked, Ariah stared at Ricco.

Meanwhile, Ricco turned to look at Jimmy. "The two of them looked the same, so one of them must be fake. As soon as I went in, the uninjured Kobi ran away. I immediately went after him, but there were too many people in the hospital. In the end, I still lost him."

When Jimmy heard that, he nodded and narrowed his eyes in silence.

Sure enough, Jimmy's speculation was right, and the Kobi, who was lying on the hospital bed, was likely to be fake, while the real Kobi was out there hiding somewhere in a corner.

If the real Kobi knew that the fake Kobi was not dead, he would definitely find a chance to kill the fake Kobi to avoid any flaws in his plan. It turned out that it was the right thing for Jimmy to let Ricco keep an eye on them in the hospital.

However, the current fake Kobi had also disappeared. This was somewhat beyond Jimmy's expectations.

At that moment, Jimmy was pondering over the matter as he tried to think of a plan to deal with the situation.

Suddenly, Ricco muttered, "What on earth do Kobi and Kevin want? What do they want to achieve? Also, for that fake Kobi, I made a mistake. At that time, I was only focusing on catching the real Kobi, and I forgot the fake Kobi was also very important." This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

If Ricco had remained in the ward and didn't chase after the real Kobi at that moment, things might have turned out different.

Just as Ricco was thinking about it, Ariah slapped the table loudly.

Immediately, Ariah withdrew her hand in pain and glared at the two of them, "What do you mean? Why are there two Kobi? And you're saying that the Kobi lying in the hospital bed is actually fake? You guys are lying, right?!"

"Why would we lie to you? Would it benefit us to do so?"

In a daze, Ariah was at a loss for words. "In other words, the person that I had visited for the past two days was not Kobi, but someone else?"

Moreover, Ariah couldn't even tell that the Kobi lying in the hospital bed was actually fake!

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Angrily, Ariah grumbled at Ricco, "If I were to know about it, I would've paid more attention to him and not let him run away just like that!"

The fake Kobi was the most important witness. Now that the witness was gone, things would only be more troublesome in the future!

However, Ricco spread his hands and said, "It was Jimmy who didn't allow me to say that."

Jimmy!

Immediately, Ariah turned to glare at him.

Then, Jimmy rubbed the space between his eyebrows and uttered, "Well, you know it now, right? Don't be mad. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to act all worried, and that might end up causing suspicion."

Pissed at Jimmy, Ariah remained silent.

Although what Jimmy said made sense, Ariah couldn't understand why she was still so angry at him.

"So, what is your plan for now?"

As Ricco looked at Jimmy, he directly asked for Jimmy's opinion about the matter, "Now that both fake and real Kobi are missing, the situation is not very favorable for you."

However, Jimmy smirked and said, "Not necessarily."

"Oh?"

"Kobi's disappearance is an opportunity for me to prove that I'm not guilty. If Kobi is capable, then he would hide for the rest of his life and never show up again. However, I don't think he will hide forever. If he wishes to return to the Hudson Family, he will definitely appear."

After Ricco heard Jimmy's opinion, he nodded. "How could we force him to show up then?"

At that moment, Jimmy adjusted his clothes and said faintly, "I have to get out of here first."

"Get out of here? How?" Curiously, Ricco raised his eyebrows. "Don't forget that you are guilty now. I don't think it's that easy for you to get out of here, right?"

Nonetheless, Jimmy smiled and turned to look at Ariah, "Help me give Howard a call."

"Howard?" Stunned, Ariah asked, "Why are you looking for him?"

"He can help me get out of here."

Taken aback, Ariah confirmed, "You mean Howard? That playboy?"

Never did Ariah expect that a womanizer like Howard would have such an ability.

"He doesn't have the ability to do so, but the Perkins Family has the ability to get me out of here." Then, Jimmy smiled and said, "Go and give him a call first. I'll tell you about his family later."

Obediently, Ariah nodded and left.

When Howard received Ariah's call, he immediately rushed over. Meanwhile, Ariah and Ricco stood at the police station's entrance as they waited for Howard's arrival.

With a shocked face, Howard walked in and asked, "I've only gone on a business trip for two days, and Jimmy had been arrested? What crime did he commit?"

Immediately, Ariah rolled her eyes at him, "Can't you hope for the best for him?"

"What happened to him then?"

In fact, Howard had just returned to Beachmarsh City today, and it hadn't even been two hours since he got home before he received Ariah's call.

When Ariah told Howard to come to the station, he was actually surprised.

Furthermore, Ariah didn't explain what was going on over the phone, and she only asked Howard to come over. When Howard heard Ariah's voice, she sounded very anxious, so he hurried over without another word.

"I have no idea how am I supposed to explain to you." Then, Ariah took him inside and said, "Go in and let him tell you the whole story."

With a frown, Howard followed Ariah into the room. As a matter of fact, he was surprised that Jimmy would come to a place like this. What was going on?

The moment Howard saw the unshaven stubbles on Jimmy's face, Howard was so surprised that he widened his eyes exaggeratedly. "Did you kill someone, or did you rape an underaged girl?"

Everyone was speechless at what they heard.

Annoyed, Ariah kicked Horward.

"Why did you kick me?"

"Can you not spout nonsense?"

"Was I wrong? Only those who had committed a crime would be arrested, right?"

Technically, Howard wasn't wrong, and it left Ariah tongue-tied.

Meanwhile, Jimmy raised his chin and said, "Ariah, you and Ricco head out first. I'll explain it to Howard."

"All right."

Then, Ariah and Ricco left.

When only Howard and Jimmy were left in the room, Jimmy didn't beat around the bush with Howard, and he said straightforwardly, "Give your grandfather a call. I want to leave this place."

It was because Howard's grandfather was the Chief Director of the Public Security Bureau in Beachmarsh City, so if Jimmy wanted to be released on bail, he had to seek help from him.

However, Howard stroked his chin and asked, "Mack also has the ability to bail you out, right? Why doesn't he care about you anymore?"

It was because Mack was angry at Jimmy at the moment. The other day after the incident, Mack even ruthlessly said that he would break off the relationship with Jimmy, so how could it be possible for him to bail Jimmy out?

Which was why Jimmy had no choice but to look for Howard.

"I can't explain it in detail." Indifferently, Jimmy stared straight at Howard. "If you trust me, then give your grandfather a call. I'll explain everything to you when I figure things out."

It was the first time that Jimmy stared at Howard with such a serious gaze. Subconsciously, Howard nodded, "Since you're my close friend, I definitely can't let you suffer in here. I will give him a call, but it all depends on your luck whether you can be bailed or not."

After that, Howard got up and made a call.

Meanwhile, Jimmy smiled and waited.

If Jimmy were not confident about it, he wouldn't have asked Howard to call his grandfather.

In fact, Howard's grandfather didn't have a son, and Howard's mother was his only daughter. When Howard's mother passed away in his early years, Howard was the only grandchild his grandfather

had left, so his grandfather doted on him very much. If Howard were to ask for anything, his grandfather would definitely grant his request.
