Chapter 696


    It was a call from Nicole.


    At first, Jimmy thought Emily was lying, so he took it with a grain of salt and gave the number a call


    just now. However, he didn''t expect that it was really Nicole who answered the phone.


    In fact, Jimmy had been looking for her for so many years, and now he finally knew that she was


    still alive.


    "Nicole?" Softly, Jimmy answered the phone.


    On the other end of the line came Nicole''s panic-stricken voice. "Jimmy, he''s drunk, and he''s losing


    his temper now. I''ve locked myself up in the room. There aren''t many people in his vi recently, so


    it would be a good chance for me to escape now. I can only count on you."


    As Jimmy strode to the parking lot, he said, "Send me the location!"


    "Alright!" Immediately, Nicole lowered her voice, "Be careful when youe over. All of his men


    have guns in their hands."


    "I know." Then, Jimmy exhorted. "Take good care of yourself. I will be right over."


    Obediently, Nicole agreed.


    Then, Jimmy hung up the phone and got into the car. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of


    something and turned his head to look. Frozen, Ariah stood where she was and looked at him


    expressionlessly.


    Immediately, Jimmy opened the door and got off the car. As he went up to Ariah and wanted to


    reach out to hug her, Ariah took two steps back and dodged his outstretched hand.


    Just like that, Jimmy''s hand froze in midair.


    In the end, he made up his mind and turned to leave. Before he got back into the car, he told Emily,


    "Take Ariah back with you and take good care of her."


    "Oh, okay. Sure."


    Hurriedly, Emily nodded.


    After that, Jimmy drove off.


    As Ariah stood where she was, she smiled mockingly when Jimmy''s car went out of sight.


    When Emily noticed how bad Ariah''s expression seemed, she did not dare to say anything.


    However, Emily felt even guiltier when she realized that things had turned sour because she had


    said something she should not have said.


    On the way back, Ariah remained silent. Whereas Emily, who was sitting next to Ariah, had a few


    times when she wanted to speak, but she managed to refrain from doing it.


    Oh dear, why did she always had to screw things up!


    Was it really like what Lennon had said, that no matter what Emily did, she would end up screwing


    things up?


    The two women in the car remained silent throughout the entire journey.


    When they arrived at Ariah''s residential area, the driver pulled over. Then, Ariah paid him, and the


    two of them went upstairs silently.


    After Emily looked at Ariah several times, in the end, she could not help but say, "Ariah, are you


    going to cry?"


    Shocked, Ariah asked, "What?"


    Then, Emily uttered, "You seem so sad, and you look like you''re about to cry."


    Suddenly, Ariah stood where she was and didn''t move. Slowly, the corner of her mouth twitched into


    a bitter smile. "I look like I''m going to cry, right? However, I won''t cry. I just feel like scolding


    someone."


    Taken aback, Emily''s eyes widened, "W-Who are you going to scold?"


    "Don''t worry. I''m not going to scold you. You didn''t do anything wrong." With a sneer, Ariah said,


    "Since Jimmy decided to walk out on me today, he better not expect me to restore our marriage in


    the future."


    "Oh, my." Quickly, Emily grabbed Ariah''s hand. "Don''t do that... because if you do that, I will me


    myself for what had happened."


    However, Ariah shook her head and changed the topic, "Emily, can you tell me about the details of


    what had happened between you and Nicole?"


    With a frown, Emily exined, "As for the details..." after a pause, Emily thought and continued,


    "There was nothing much actually. It was her who came to me on her own ord and told me that


    she had a way to help me escape Lennon''s vi. However, all I had to do in return was to pass


    Jimmy a message... that''s all."


    In the end, Emily thought of something and hurriedly said, "Nicole did give me a number and asked


    me to pass it to Jimmy. At that time, her expression was very anxious, as if she was afraid of being


    discovered. I only met the man who came with her once. Although he was quite handsome, his


    gaze was particrly gloomy and scary, and I didn''t dare to look at him straight in the eye."


    "Nicole seems to be quite afraid of that man. Since she called Jimmy to save her, she probably is in


    danger right now..."


    As Emily exined, she carefully looked at Ariah, "Ariah, don''t be angry with Jimmy. He is just trying


    to save her from danger."


    Meanwhile, Ariah closed her eyes and didn''t say anything as she turned around and walked


    towards the building of her unit.


    Then, Emily bit her lip and followed.


    As soon as they got back to the building, Emily suddenly turned around and ran away.


    At that moment, Lennon, who was standing at the door raised his hand, and the two bodyguards


    behind him immediately chased after Emily. After that, Lennon looked at Ariah with a smile and said,


    "Miss Myers, I hope my sudden visit wouldn''t be a trouble to you."


    Besides his tall and straight figure, Lennon had sharp features and profound brow bones.


    That majesty aura that Lennon exuded could not be ignored.


    With a sigh, Ariah asked, "Well, I didn''t expect you toe looking for us so quickly."


    Faintly, Lennon smiled. "I had found out about it yesterday night, but I didn''t want to disturb Miss


    Myers and Emily''s good night''s sleep. That''s why I came here today."


    The best description for Lennon would probably be both evil and gentleman at the same time.


    As Ariah turned around and looked, she asked worriedly, "Your men won''t do anything to Emily, will


    they?"


    "They know clearly that Emily will be their mistress in the future."


    What Lennon meant was that the bodyguards would not dare to be rude to Emily.


    "Alright then."


    After Ariah took out the key and opened the door, she asked, "Do you want toe in and have a


    seat, or are you going to take Emily and leave?"


    In fact, Ariah really didn''t have the ability to resist Lennon. If Jimmy was there, perhaps he could


    protect Emily. However, now that Ariah was alone, she felt that she was yet to have the ability to


    stop Lennon from taking Emily away.


    Furthermore, Ariah had already tested Lennon earlier. Since Lennon had already told his


    subordinates that Emily would be their mistress, it was obvious that he had ced Emily in a very


    high position. Thus, he shouldn''t do anything to Emily.


    "It''s okay, Miss Myers. I shall not bother you any longer. I''ll take Emily and leave."


    Immediately, Ariah nodded, "Okay then... but I hope that you can be more gentle to Emily because


    she''s actually quite afraid of you."


    Stunned for a moment, Lennon then frowned. Emily was afraid of him?


    The thing was, Emily had been fearless since she was a child, and she used to cause a lot of


    trouble, which would often give Lennon a headache. Besides, Emily had never been nice to


    Lennon, so how could she be afraid of him?

    "You b*stards, let me go!" Suddenly, Emily''s scream sounded, "Ariah, are you okay?"


    On the other side of the elevator, a bodyguard was walking over with Emily in his arm.


    At that moment, Emily was unable to struggle, and she was also pissed, so she could only curse


    her heart out. After she yelled at the bodyguard, then sheshed out at Lennon in different


    languages.


    When Ariah noticed that Lennon''s expression was getting darker, Ariah quickly stepped forward for


    the sake of Emily''s safety and said, "Emily, don''t worry. I''m fine!"


    The moment Emily saw Ariah was fine and intact, she let out a long sigh of relief.


    Meanwhile, the two bodyguards who held Emily in their arms had red marks on both of their faces.


    It was obvious that they had been scratched by Emily.


    The tall and strong bodyguards looked sullen.


    However, Emily did not have a single wound on


    her face.


    It seemed Lennon was right, and his men would not dare to do anything to Emily.


    "Ariah, call the police!" Suddenly, Emily shouted. "Just tell them that there''s a human trafficker. This


    is Beachmarsh City, and I''m sure they would not dare to be too arrogant!"


    Helplessly, Ariah said, "Do you think that Lennon would let me call the police?"


    Immediately, Lennon shook his head. "No, that will not happen. For the sake of both of us, we have


    to be more decent. I think it''s best if Miss Myers go into the house right now and pretend that this


    has ever happened."


    "You''re so mean!" At that moment, Emily was on the verge of going mad. When Emily remembered


    how she had been locked up by Lennon for the past two days without any freedom, her eyes turned


    red with anger. "How could you do this?"


    As Lennon looked at Emily''s eyes which were gradually turning red, his brows furrowed.
