Chapter 498
Ariah was dumbfounded and left speechless. "Well, it has nothing to do with Jimmy..."
"Whoa, you''re still saying good words for him?"
"It''s not what you think."
"Then who kicked you?" Suddenly, Howard recalled Anna was also admitted to the hospital, so he
pped his thigh and said, "Oh no, it can''t be you and Anna fought over Jimmy and thus got
injured?"
Ariah was choked at Howard''s theory. It seemed that he had a wild imagination.
"Didn''t Jimmy record the evidence? Has he passed it on to you yet?" Howard rubbed his chin.
Ariah was stunned. "What evidence?"
Howard let out augh and asked, "Wait, Jimmy really didn''t show you the evidence?"
The more he said, the more confused Ariah became. "What evidence? Tell me."
"Well, he and Anna didn''t have sex!"
Ariah was dumbfounded. "Wh-what?"
"It seems that you still have no clue. Alright, I''ll show you the recording."
That day, when Jimmy had tricked Anna, he had used Howard''s phone to record it and Howard
hadn''t deleted the recording yet. So now, Howard yed it out for Ariah.
Instantly, Anna''s voice came from the phone. "We didn''t do itst night. I lied to you. I only took off
our clothes so you would think that we had sex..."
Ariah was shocked upon hearing this. She witnessed Jimmy spending the whole night with Anna,
but it turned out that they didn''t have sex?
"That night, Jimmy was so drunk that he could barely recognize anyone. How could he still have the
energy to do those things?" Howard put away his phone. "I''m sure you get what I mean, right?"
Ariah nodded in a daze. But she didn''t understand why Jimmy didn''t exin to her right away but
instead let her misunderstand.
"Howard, is this... a trick you and Jimmy set up to fool me?"

Hearing this, Howard snapped, "Huh? Why would I do that? Besides, haven''t you heard that Anna
admitted that she lied? If you don''t even believe this, then what would you believe? Damn, perhaps
I should have taken Anna for an examination that day!"
Instantly, Ariah fell silent. She had always thought that Jimmy and Anna had had sex. But now,
Howard was telling her that none of this had ever happened!
She could still remember how heartbroken she was to sit outside Anna''s apartment that night.
Eventually, Howard was kicked out of the ward as Ariah said that she needed some time alone to
think about things on her own.
So, Howard had no choice but to leave.
Upon leaving, he then felt that there was something wrong with Ariah. Wasn''t she supposed to be
happy to hear this?
But just now, she didn''t look joyful at all.
Thinking about that, Howard quickly called Jimmy, but the call was picked up after a long while. "Is
there something wrong with Ariah?"
"Oh, she''s fine."
"Then why are you calling me?"
"Well, I couldn''tplete the task you gave me."
"What?"
"You asked me to stay with her until youe back, but just now, she chased me out."
Hearing that, Jimmy asked directly, "What did you do to annoy her so much that she threw you
out?"
Howard was choked at his words.
How could have Jimmy guessed that?
Clearing his throat, Howard then exined, "Well, I was nning on being your wingman, but
then..."
"What did you do again?" Jimmy''s face darkened.
"Uh, I told her you didn''t sleep with Anna, thinking that maybe you two will get back together upon
resolving this misunderstanding. However, Ariah seemed to be a little unhappy to learn that."
"You''ve yed the recording to her, haven''t you?" Jimmy asked.
"Yeah."
"And she looked unhappy hearing it?"
"Correct!"
Jimmy frowned. Logically speaking, when Ariah learned the truth, even though she wasn''t
surprised, she shouldn''t be angry either.
"You said that she didn''t look right. What do you mean by that?"
Howard thought back to how Ariah had reacted in the ward. "After she heard the recording, she just
asked me toe out, saying that she wants to be alone to clear her mind."
"That''s it?"
Howard shrugged. "Yep, that''s all."
Jimmy nodded. "Alright." "Wait, don''t hang up." Howard called out. "Have you had a clue yet why
Ariah is acting so strangely?"
"Not yet," Jimmy told the truth, "It''s hard to understand what she thinks sometimes."
"Then you should at least know why both Anna and she were admitted to the hospital at the same
time, eh? Are they fighting over you like those women do on the TV, and in the end, both of them
got sent to the hospital..."
"Beep..."
Instantly, Jimmy hung up the phone, refusing to listen to his crap anymore.
"Dammit!" cursed Howard.
At the same time, someone who Ariah had never expected to see came to her ward.
It was Jimmy''s mother, E Kelly.
Ariah had hardly met with the Hudsons because she rarely went back to the Hudson''s as E didn''t
quite like her. Usually, Ariah would find an excuse to not go back during the holidays, and even
when she really had to go back, she would keep a low profile to avoid talking to the Hudsons.
Nevertheless, she didn''t expect that E woulde to visit her today. Feeling a little ttered, she
immediately got out of bed and greeted her.
E, who was in her fifties, seemed like a forty and looked well-maintained as usual. She had
brought two bodyguards with her today.
With a gesture, E said to the bodyguards, "You guys may go out now. I wanna talk to her alone."
Judging on the atmosphere, Ariah could sense that there was something wrong with E''s visit, so
she stood by the side quietly.
"Do you know why I''m here?"
"No, I don''t. Go ahead."
Jimmy''s mother then nced at her and asked directly, "You and Jimmy divorced?"
Ah, so this was why E came.
However, it made sense after Ariah thinking about it. There was nothing else that could bring E
here except this.
Ever since she married Jimmy, E had told her directly that both she and Jimmy''s father were not
satisfied with her, because a man like Jimmy could have found someone better than her. But since
Jimmy only liked her, they could only ept her as their daughter-inw and hope that she could
give birth to two kids in the time frame of three years.
