Chapter 693


    After Ariah heard Jimmy''s question, she couldn''t help but nce at him as she thought that Emily


    did look like someone who would escape.


    But, how did Emily managed to escape when the security at Lennon''s vi was heavily guarded?


    Just as Ariah was thinking about it, Lennon''s voice rang out. Surprised, Lennon looked at Jimmy


    and asked, "How did you know that Emily had escaped?"


    "It''s just my instinctive reaction as a policeman." Then, Jimmy continued, "Whenever I go to an


    unfamiliar ce, I would always observe the area first. Earlier, I realized that your servants and


    bodyguards seemed to be looking for someone."


    "And you spected that they are looking for Emily?"


    "Didn''t you just say that Emily isn''t at home?" As Jimmy replied, he shrugged.


    For a moment, Lennon stared at Jimmy and said with a smile, "You''re right. Emily did escape when


    I wasn''t aware. I ordered everyone to search for her, but it was a wild goose chase, and we have no


    idea where she is hiding."


    Softly, Jimmy muttered, "The fact that you told me all these... are you trying to tell me that Emily isn''t


    here, and it would be best if I head back?"


    "Mr. Hudson, I think you had misunderstood my intention. I''m not trying to drive you away. Instead, I


    would like to ask your subordinates to head over to the mountains at the back to look for her."


    However, Jimmy was a little surprised that Lennon would make such a request.


    Meanwhile, Lennon sighed. "The back mountain is a forest that is yet to be developed, and there


    might be wild beasts. If Emily really did hide there, I''m afraid that something would happen to her. If


    I were to gather more manpower to find her, I would have a greater chance of finding her. That''s


    why I decided to make this request."


    Immediately, Ariah took a step forward and said, "No problem, we will help to find her."


    The most important thing right now was to find Emily.


    With a frown, Jimmy remained silent.


    Hurriedly, Ariah uttered, "Let''s go look for her now then. We have to find her before it gets dark.


    Otherwise, she will be in danger..."


    "Mr. Lennon." As Jimmy sighed, he stood up. "May I ask, what was it that made you think Emily had


    run to the mountain at the back?"


    In fact, Lennon knew Jimmy was suspicious, so he took them to the back door without saying


    anything.


    It was Emily''s footprints.


    "The reason why I decided to target the back mountain as the focus of my search was that these


    footprints are heading toward that direction." Then, Lennon pointed at the mountain. "That is the


    only area that is not guarded. If she were to get out of my surveince, that would be the best way."


    Immediately, Ariah tugged on Jimmy''s arm and whispered, "Whether he''s lying or not, we have to


    go and look for Emily."


    After a pause, Ariah was afraid that Jimmy would go back on his words, so she added, "If Emily


    really were to escape, she definitely would''ve tried to contact me, but she hasn''t contacted me yet."


    It proved that Emily was definitely was not trying to run away.


    At that moment, Jimmy knew that Ariah would be worried if they didn''t try to look for Emily, so after


    he thought for a moment, he nodded and said, "We can help to look for Emily, but we must get out


    of the forest before it gets dark. I don''t want you to be in danger."


    "No problem. We will definitely get out of there before it gets dark. I promise." Happily, Ariah


    agreed.


    After a quick discussion, Jimmy ordered all the policemen to follow Lennon''s men into the forest.


    However, after several hours of searching, they didn''t find any trace of Emily. In fact, they couldn''t


    even find a single person in there.


    In the end, Jimmy had no choice but to bring Ariah out of the forest before the sky turned dark.


    Grateful for the help, Lennon even wanted to ask his butler to give Jimmy and Ariah a gift, but


    Jimmy turned him down, then left with Ariah.


    The moment Jimmy and Ariah drove off, Lennon ordered the butler in a low voice, "Find someone to


    follow behind them quietly."


    Confused, the butler asked, "Sir, why..."


    "Emily must have contacted her friends right after she escaped, and Miss Myers is her closest


    friend, so I might as well just sit and wait for the right time, then go to her ce directly to get Emily


    back."


    "Sir, you''re indeed brilliant."


    Hurriedly, the butler went to find someone to trail behind Jimmy and Ariah.


    On the way back, Ariah was down in spirits, and she repeatedly sighed, "I''m so worried about


    Emily. I hope she''s fine, otherwise..."


    Suddenly, Ariah stopped as she didn''t want herself to think about nonsense.


    Then, Ariah thought of something and frowned again. "If Emily already had a fiance a long time ago,


    then what''s the matter between her and Kobi?"


    Meanwhile, Jimmy drove and looked ahead as he answered, "Kobi is no match for Lennon. There''s


    no way Kobi could win Emily back."


    "I don''t think so."


    "Why?"


    "As long as Emily loves Kobi and is determined to be with him, no one can stop them."


    With his eyebrows raised, Jimmy asked, "Do you think that Emily would still have feelings for Kobi


    after everything that she had been through?"


    That question left Ariah in silence. Indeed, she wasn''t sure about it.


    "Besides, Lennon chose to show up right at the time when Emily had discovered that Kobi was


    trying to deceive her. It just seems as if he had it all nned long ago." With a snort, Jimmy


    continued, "He''s such a scheming man, and he knows how to be alert in silence because he knows


    that he could win Emily over with just a single move. Not to mention Kobi, I''m afraid that even Emily


    would''ve been fooled by Lennon."


    For a moment, Ariah paused, "Well, why do I have a feeling that Lennon is a good guy and that he


    might not be as bad as you think?"


    "I''m a man, and I know what men think. I''m sure that he''s definitely not as good as you think he is."


    In a low voice, Jimmy answered.


    As soon as they got home, Ariah saw someone sitting at the door. In fact, the person seemed to be


    in a mess, and her feet were bare, which made her look like a beggar.


    At first, Ariah didn''t recognize who she was, but when Ariah got closer, she quickly ran over to her


    and said, "Emily!"


    Indeed, it was Emily, and she had curled up into a ball in front of Ariah''s door for a long time.


    Slowly, Emily raised her head and shivered. "I''ve been waiting here for a long time, and you''re


    finally back."


    Quickly, Ariah helped Emily in and passed Emily a ss of water as well as some clothes. It was


    only when Emily came out of the bathroom that herplexion gradually became better.


    "I''ve prepared hot cocoa for you, hurry up and drink it to warm yourself up." Immediately, Ariah


    dragged Emily to the couch.


    Obediently, Emily held her ss and drank it.


    At that moment, Jimmy came in from the balcony, closed the door, and sat down on another couch.


    "Why are you here?"


    "This was the only ce that I could think of." Pitifully, Emily looked at Ariah and asked, "You won''t


    drive me away, right?"


    "Of course not!" Worriedly, Ariah paused for a moment and asked, "Are you really alright? Do you


    want to go to the hospital and for a check?"


    "I''m fine. I just felt a little cold, but I feel much better now." Softly, Alice sniffed.

    Meanwhile, Ariah looked at Jimmy and noticed that his gaze was fixed on Emily, and he seemed to


    be in deep thoughts.


    For a moment, Ariah thought and asked, "Emily, can I ask you about something?"


    "Go ahead."


    "How did you manage to get here from Lennon''s vi?"


    Surprised, Emily asked, "How did you find out about Lennon?"


    Then, Ariah told Emily how she had been trying to look for Emily through various means. When


    Emily heard that, she was moved, and she held Ariah''s hand and said, "Ariah, I love you so much."


    However, Jimmy snorted. "There''s no need for that."


    Silently, Ariah caressed Emily''s face and uttered, "Before you say you love me, I need you to tell me


    clearly how you managed to escape Lennon''s vi."


    Immediately, Emily ced the ss on the tea table and smiled smugly. "I hid under the bed. They


    thought I was missing, but I was actually hiding in that room. When Lennon sent his men to look for


    me, and there was nobody left in the vi, I sneaked out of the room and ran away when no one


    was watching."


    That answer left Ariah speechless.


    Sure enough, the best ce to hide something is in in sight.


    "What a smart girl." After Ariah nced at the time, she smiled and said, "I bet it has been a long


    day for you, so why don''t you go to bed first, and we will continue to talk about it tomorrow, huh?"


    "Alright."


    Indeed, Emily was tired, so she yawned, got up, and went to the bedroom.


    When Emily was lying on the bed, she was thinking in a daze. Although she felt as if she had


    something that she wanted to tell Jimmy, she couldn''t seem to remember what she wanted to


    say.


    No matter how hard Emily thought, she couldn''t bring herself to remember it.
