Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 692

Angrily, Camden clutched onto the woman's neck and did not loosen his grip until she was almost out of breath.

Immediately the woman covered her neck and sat on the sofa as she looked at him coldly. "You're blaming me just because she's missing? What an accusation."

With his eyes narrowed, Camden asked, "It wasn't you who did it?"

"No, it was not me."

"Do you think I'll believe you?"

"Why should I lie to you? I only went up to had a short talk with Miss Emily, and the servant can prove it. When I came down, she even witnessed it with her own eyes."

Meanwhile, Camden sized her up with his gaze that was as sharp as a sword, and the woman allowed him to do as he pleased. In the end, Lennon stepped forward with his expression still dark as he uttered, "Uh, Mr. Reeves."

Then, Camden turned his head to look at Lennon.

Straightforwardly, Lennon said, "I'm afraid our meeting today for the business will have to stop here. I need to go and look for her myself. If there's nothing else, you can go back first. I'll welcome you again some other day."

However, Camden knew that Lennon was letting them go for the sake of their partnership. If it were to be someone else, the person would not be able to leave until he or she made it clear.

With a nod, Camden uttered, "I can leave my men here to help you find your fiancee."

At that moment, Lennon needed all the manpower that he could have, so he nodded and replied, "I apologize for the trouble caused."

"Don't say that. I'm the one who caused you trouble." Hurriedly, Camden called his assistant. "The driver will send us home while you stay to help Mr. Lennon look for his fiancee."

Instantly, the assistant agreed.

Then, Camden took the woman with him and left.

As Camden shoved the woman into the car, she fell onto the chair in the back seat. However, it was as if Camden didn't see anything as he tugged onto his tie with a gloomy face and ordered the driver, "Start the engine!"

"Yes, sir." Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Immediately, the driver started the car and drove off.

After Camden threw his tie aside, he stared at the woman with hazy eyes and asked, "Didn't I tell you not to cause trouble whenever I bring out?"

Meanwhile, the woman leaned against the door and said nothing.

Aggressively, Camden pulled her over and pinched her chin. "Are you dumb?"

"If you're out to condemn me, what else can I say?" Without an expression, the woman answered, "Even if you were to beat me to death, I still wouldn't know where the lady went."

For a moment, Camden stared at her delicate little face. Then, he shoved her away and warned, "You'd better have nothing to do with this matter, or I won't spare you!"

Slowly, the woman turned her head and looked out of the window without any emotions in her eyes.

After Camden left, Lennon told everyone to go and search for Emily, and he even went out to look for her in person. After searching for a long time, he still found nothing.

When Lennon came back, he lost his temper. In fact, his temper was so bad that the servants didn't dare to make a sound.

Although he always had a bad temper, he seldom lost his temper.

Suddenly, the butler entered the study to look for him. "Sir, there are a few policemen downstairs, and they said they are here for you."

"Policemen?" With a frown, Lennon asked, "Which policeman is it?"

"It's not the usual policemen we know. I think his name is Officer Hudson." The butler was familiar with the high officials in Beachmarsh City, so he instantly knew that Lennon had to head downstairs and meet the officer.

"This Officer Jimmy is powerful, and if we were to do business in Beachmarsh City in the future, we must build a good relationship with this police officer."

For a moment, Lucas was silent. "Why did Officer Hudson took the initiative to come here and meet me? Is he trying to build a good relationship with me?"

However, the butler shook his head and said, "I think Officer Hudson doesn't look like a flattering person. I wonder if he came here because something had happened?"

"Go and entertain him for a bit. I'll go down now."

"Alright."

After the butler answered, he turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Jimmy and Ariah waited for a while in the living room until the butler came back down. The butler was polite to them and served them drinks.

At that moment, Ariah was feeling a little anxious. If Emily really was in the villa, she couldn't wait to go upstairs to find her right now.

Compared to Ariah's anxiety, Jimmy appeared much calmer.

"Don't worry. As long as Emily is here, I will take her home with us today." Softly, Jimmy comforted her.

Then, Ariah nodded and took the cup to have some water.

A few moments later, they heard some noise from the stairs. A tall man was walking down the stairs, in a suit and trousers. With an outstanding temperament, especially that face with prominent facial features, the man seemed to have the profoundness of a Westerner and the unique gentleness of an Easterner.

With a pout, Ariah mumbled, "Why would such a charming man do such terrible things?"

"Officer Hudson?" When Lennon arrived in front of them, Jimmy politely stood up and shook hands with Lennon.

As an impatient person, before Jimmy could get to the point, Ariah asked directly, "Mr. Lennon, we purposely came here to take Emily home. If she's here, please hand her over."

It was then that Lennon's gaze fell onto Ariah, who seemed to be a beautiful Easterner with a delicate appearance. Her eyes were gleaming as if they were talking to him.

"Hello, beautiful lady. May I ask, what is Emily's relationship with you?" Curious, Lennon raised an eyebrow.

"Emily is my friend."

"Oh, since you're her friend, didn't she tell you that I'm her fiance?"

"Wait, what?" Ariah was stunned. "You're Emily's fiance?"

"Do I look like I don't look like one?" When Lennon saw Ariah's response, he chuckled.

Stunned, Ariah was speechless.

As a matter of fact, Ariah was at a loss because initially, Ariah thought that Emily had been kidnapped by her enemies, but who would have thought that the one who took Emily away from the hospital was her fiance.

And Ariah was actually trying to ask for Emily from her fiance?

However, Ariah was rather cautious. "What evidence do you have to prove that Emily is your fiancee?"

"She is five years younger than me, and her father is friends with my father. I have a photo of their entire family on my phone. Do you want to see it?"

How could it still be a lie after what Lennon had just said?

Despite that, Ariah was still vigilant. "Well, I'll have to trouble you to show it to me then."

At that moment, Lennon didn't mind either, so he took out the photo and showed it to Ariah directly. After Ariah saw it, she truly believed that he was acquainted with Emily.

"Mr. Lennon, since Emily is your fiancee, can you let me meet her for a moment?" As Ariah returned the phone to him, she said, "I'm her friend, but her sudden disappearance from the hospital made me very worried about her. I'll be very grateful if you can let me know that she's safe now."

Politely, Lennon answered, "By right, I should've let you meet her. But you guys came at the wrong time because Emily had just left his place an hour ago. So, I'm really sorry that you won't be able to meet her."

With a frown, Ariah asked, "She's not here?"

"Yes."

In fact, Ariah was quite skeptical. If Emily wasn't there, where else could she have been? If Emily had left, she should have at least gave Ariah a call.

But Ariah had not received a call from Emily yet.

Suddenly, Jimmy, who had been silent for a long time, said, "He's not lying. It's true that Emily is not here."

Surprised, Ariah asked, "How did you know?"

From the moment Jimmy entered the villa, he had been observing this place. It was a large villa, but there were no servants and only a few bodyguards outside. Although there were a few servants who kept walking in and out of the villa, they were all speaking softly, as if they were looking for someone.

"Mr. Lennon, did Emily manage to escape?”

Straightforwardly, Jimmy asked.
