Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 389

Time was like a huge knife that had cut off all the clues, so Sharon had no choice but to speak her thoughts. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

After that, Loria, who was sitting opposite her, asked with a pale face, "M-Miss Cruz, why do you think so?"

However, Sharon pursed her lips and answered, "I know I have no evidence to prove what I've just said, but I'll try my best to find clues and evidence to seek justice for your mother."

After Sharon explained herself, Loria remained silent for a long time while her lips trembled slightly. There were several times when she looked at Sharon and wanted to speak but stopped on second thought.

Although Sharon felt a little strange, she didn't ask any more questions. Before she left, she took out an envelope from her bag and said, "This is a little token of my gratitude. I hope you can accept it, Loria."

With just one look, Loria knew that there was money in the envelope, and it seemed to be a big amount.

"Miss Cruz, I can't accept this money!" Immediately, Loria refused. "I am already very grateful that you came to visit my mother, even though we are unrelated. I will feel uncomfortable if I were to accept your money."

On the first day when Sharon came over, she already had the idea of giving them the money. It was just that they were not familiar with each other at that time, so she was too embarrassed to pass it to her. So, no matter what Loria said today, Sharon would still leave the money for them.

After a long time, Loria still couldn't manage to refuse Sharon's kindness, so she accepted the envelope with teary eyes and repeatedly thanked Sharon.

At that moment, Sharon smiled. However, just as she was about to leave, Loria suddenly grabbed her hand and asked in confusion, "Miss Cruz, does the accident that happened to my mother have anything to do with you?"

That question left Sharon stupefied.

Instantly, Loria seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, so she immediately explained in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Miss Cruz. It was a mistake, and I don't mean anything else. I hope you don't take it to heart..."

On the other hand, Sharon understood why she had such skeptical thoughts. The fact that Loria's mother had met with an accident right after taking care of Sharon's father would very likely cause others to misunderstand.

After a moment of silence, Sharon asked, "Loria, when I first came to find you, were you so wary of me because you were afraid that I would hurt your mother?"

Embarrassed, Loria glanced at her and nodded.

Suddenly, something flashed across Sharon's mind, and she asked again, "Loria, does this mean that... you've suspected that what happened to your mother was not an accident?"

If she hadn't been suspicious, she wouldn't have been so wary of Sharon in the first place.

"Miss Cruz, I don't understand what you are talking about." Meanwhile, Loria's eyes flickered as if she didn't want to continue the conversation. "The matter has already happened, and I'm afraid that we can't find anything even if we investigate any further. Besides, I don't want to mention the past anymore."

Since Loria had said so, Sharon had no choice but to leave.

Over the next week, Sharon would visit them when she had the time. Occasionally, she would bring some fruits for them, and she would even ask Loria to let her help to wipe Hazel's body. Although Loria had repeatedly advised her not to do so, Sharon just smiled and answered, "Actually, I also have my own motives. Back then, when my father was lying in the hospital, I couldn't accompany him all day long because I had to go to school. This has always been something that I've regretted, so now that I have the chance to take care of Hazel, I'm glad I could help."

When Loria heard that answer, she could only sigh and not say anything.

Meanwhile, in the past few days, Ariah had been going to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Jimmy whenever she had the time as she was determined to get a divorce. However, there would somehow be a problem every time they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Due to this reason, every time she went there, the divorce procedures were never really handled properly.

In fact, Ariah became more hot-tempered as days went by. When she still couldn't get a divorce, she was completely furious when she left the Civil Affairs Bureau. "Jimmy, this must be your doing! I'm sure it's you! Why are you doing this?"

When they got into the car, Ariah glared at him and asked, "What the hell are you trying to do?"

Lazily, Jimmy glanced at her and answered, "Why are you blaming me? Didn't I rush over immediately whenever you asked me to? If I really wanted to play tricks, why would I waste my time to come out with you when I could've just ignored you like before?"

That answer left Ariah at a loss for words.

It seemed that what he said did make sense.

Even though Ariah was not happy with it, she couldn't do anything about it, and she could only return with anger.

After Jimmy sent her home, he entered her house without permission for a glass of water. At that moment, Ariah was still boiling with anger, and the way she looked at him gradually became even more resentful.

"Well, don't look at me like that. Since you have made up your mind to divorce, you will definitely get what you want." Instead, Jimmy comforted her. "Your arm has almost fully recovered. When do you plan to go back to work?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

"I'm just concerned about you."

"I don't need your concern!"

Dumbfounded, Jimmy had no idea what to say.

Then, he took two deep breaths and endured it as he didn't want to fight with her. As soon as he put down the cup in his hand, Ariah chased him away without any hesitation, "I need to rest now, so get lost!"

However, Jimmy glanced at her and headed straight out without saying anything.

As soon as Jimmy went out, the phone in his pocket rang. After he casually closed the door, he leaned against the wall and answered, "Hello."

"Captain Hudson, my actions have caught their attention, so I can't help you anymore." Immediately, the complaint of his subordinate was heard from the other end of the phone, "There are so many ways to stop the divorce if you really don't want it to happen. Why would you need me to hack their

computer and database? If it wasn't for my skills, I would have been taken in for investigation long ago."

Meanwhile, Jimmy rubbed his finger slowly against his phone as he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Ariah is not stupid, and she is starting to be suspicious. The hacking trick is not working, so I need you to think of another way to stop her from getting a divorce."

"Captain Hudson, if you really don't want to divorce Ariah, why don't you just pursue her again and get her back? If that happens, you no longer have to divorce her, right?"

"Do you think I would ask you for help if this method would work?" Suddenly, Jimmy felt that it was a waste of time to tell him about this. "Okay, why don't you..."

A crack sound was heard.

Before Jimmy finished his words, the soft sound came to his ears. Immediately, he trembled and turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

What the f**k!

In a low voice, Jimmy cursed and hung up the phone that instant. As he looked at Ariah, who was standing at the door with a fiery gaze in her eyes, he licked his lips nervously. At that moment, his well- trained psychological quality disappeared, and he felt so tensed as if he had committed a crime. "Why... why did you come out?"

In the meantime, Ariah was so angry that her entire body trembled. With a sarcastic and sharp tone, she answered, "Didn't you say that it was none of your business? Heh, Jimmy Hudson, I've never been so disappointed in anyone, and you're the first person to make me so disappointed! Not only are you a scoundrel, but you're also despicable. Why did I even decide to marry you back then?"

After that, Ariah ignored Jimmy's expression and threw the key in her hand at him. "Take your car key and get lost! From now on, don't you ever come to my house. Jimmy Hudson, I shall see you in court!"
