Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 704

As soon as she was done talking, Kobi's face turned a shade paler.

Ariah felt a wave of relief wash over her, as though she just stood up for Emily.

"Do you know who she went home with?" Smiling, Ariah continued, "She went home with her fiance. I don't think she'll be going back to Beachmarsh City this time. Who knows, I'll be able to receive her wedding invitation soon."

Instantly, Kobi's expression changed. "Who did you say she went home with?"

"Her fiance..."

"That Lennon guy?"

"Yes." Confused, Ariah asked, "Do you know him?"

She thought that Kobi did not know Emily had a fiance, so she wanted to use Lennon to provoke him. Surprisingly, he knew about it.

Anxious, Kobi walked forward. As his movements were too big, he accidentally pulled his wound. Feeling a wave of pain shooting through him, he halted and supported himself against the wall.

"Hey!" Ariah was shocked. She stepped forward to help him up. "Are you alright?"

She did not expect Kobi would react that way. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Taking a deep breath, Kobi asked, "Did he force Emily to go with him?"

Ariah cast him a glance, unsure of what to say.

Shaking off Ariah's hand, Kobi looked at her coldly, "Emily told me about her fiance. Do you know what did she tell me?"

Having a bad feeling about what Kobi was going to say, Ariah shook her head.

"Emily is terrified of that guy because he used to torture her. When Emily and I first got together, she had nightmares every day. Lennon is her greatest fear!" Kobi felt anxious and furious. "How can you just stand there and watch him take her away?"

Ariah was dumbfounded. "He... tortured Emily?"

"You can't imagine how much of a psycho he is." A trace of tolerance flashed across Kobi's eyes. "Although Emily didn't tell me everything, I heard stories of him confining and raping her."

Ariah was totally shocked. She shook her head in disbelief. "No... It's impossible. I met Lennon. Although he doesn't seem to be too friendly, he's not as terrible as what you've just described. He doesn't seem like a psycho to me..."

Looking at Ariah coldly, Kobi asked, "You are a psychologist. You've seen so many patients with mental issues. Can you know whether they're good or evil just by one look?"

Ariah was left speechless.

Gradually, she began to feel anxious. If what Kobi said was true, then Emily would be...

No way. She doubted Emily would be in any danger.

Ignoring the pain, Kobi pushed her away and strode out of the ward. Ariah chased after him. "Where are you going?"

"To get discharged." Kobi answered calmly, "I'm going to Mathines to find Emily."

Ariah followed behind him quickly, "Are you really going to look for her?"

Kobi kept silent.

Knowing that Kobi had made up his mind, Ariah did not stop him. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Alright then. Be sure to find Emily. Also, remember to protect yourself."

If Lennon was really an evil person like what Kobi described, he might hurt Kobi.

Kobi paused, looked at her, and nodded. "I know what I'm doing."

After that, he strode away.

He did a lot of mistakes and broke Emily's heart, so he wanted to make up for it.

Watching Kobi's figure gradually disappearing, Ariah stood frozen to the ground for quite some time. Kobi's words kept running through her head...

She had no idea that Emily, such an innocent and lovely person, used to experience such terrible things.

Seeing how she was able to keep such a pure heart after experiencing such dark things, she must be very mentally strong.

While Ariah was walking out of the hospital, she called Emily, and as expected, Emily's phone was turned off.

Then, she calculated and estimated the time Emily would arrive so that she could call her and check up on her right away.

Caught up in her thoughts, she did not notice a van coming in her direction from behind. The van stopped, and two strong men got out. They crept behind her, covered her mouth and nose, and

dragged her into the car.

Everything happened in less than three seconds, and the car left. No one saw what happened.

Ariah was walking on the street when someone suddenly covered her mouth from behind. Just as she was about to struggle, a pungent smell wafted up her nose, and after a while, she blacked

out.

When she opened her eyes again, the sky had already turned dark, and she was locked up in a bedroom.

It seemed like someone was trying to prevent her from escaping as her hands and feet were tied. She leaned against the window, unable to move.

Ariah thought quickly of who could have kidnapped her.

After a while, the answer was revealed.

The door of the bedroom was pushed open, and a servant came in. Seeing Ariah awake, the servant was stunned.

Ariah looked at her coldly, "I'm awake. Ask your boss to come here."

The servant stole a few glances at her before turning around and going out.

Soon after, footsteps were heard outside the door. Ariah tilted her head and saw a tall figure standing in front of the door.

The figure stood at the door for a while before slowly entering the room.

Finally, Ariah caught a glimpse of his face.

The man was very handsome. He had chiseled facial features, and his eyes were deep. Coldly, he stared down at her.

With a gaze as sharp as a knife, the man stared straight in Ariah's eyes. Feeling somewhat afraid, Ariah tried to initiate a conversation with him. "Why did you kidnap me? Did you mistake me for someone else? I don't know you."

The man kept silent.

Left with no choice, Ariah said, "I'm just an ordinary person who has no enemies and has never offended anyone. I have a husband and a child, and we come from an ordinary working family. If you're thinking of blackmailing me, let me tell you, my husband doesn't have any money. He won't come and save me..."

She kept spouting lies to confuse the man.

However, he stood there unfazed, staring at her emotionlessly.

Instantly, Ariah's head went numb. Subconsciously, she had a feeling that the man was not a person to be trifled with.

"You have a husband..." Finally, the man spoke. His voice was hoarse and deep. "Is his name Jimmy?"

Stunned, Ariah looked at him suspiciously, "Who is Jimmy? My husband's name is Nate Sharp. I don't know anyone called Jimmy."

The man scoffed, "You're pretty clever. I'm impressed."

"I don't know what you're talking about..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know now. You'll know what I'm talking about soon." The man gave her a meaningful look. "I'm Camden Reeves. Your husband took away an important thing from me. In order to get it back, I had to invite you here."

Ariah totally did not expect the man standing in front of her to be Camden!

She had been wondering who could have kidnapped her, but she never imagined it was him!

"Do you call this inviting?" Ariah tried to move her body, which was bounded. "You surely have a unique way of inviting someone!"

Obviously, Camden heard the sarcasm in her words. Chuckling, he asked his bodyguards to come in. "Untie Miss Myers."

It seemed like he had made a thorough background check on her since he even knew her surname.
