Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 468

Jimmy frowned at Lindsey, who suddenly blushed for no reason and even looked at him lovingly. It was disgusting to be stared at by someone as despicable as Lindsey.

Following a dry cough, Jimmy straightened his body and tried to stay far away from her. "Do you plan to just look at me like this?"

Upon regaining her senses, she stuttered, "I- I'm sorry. I was thinking about something else..."

As she raised her beautiful eyes, her voice was more charming than before. "You are my brother-in-law, so please answer my previous question."

Why did she mention 'brother-in-law' so abruptly?

Didn't she act like a feisty woman not long ago? How could she change her attitude so fast?

"Why don't you answer me first? How did you know about my relationship problem with Ariah?"

"Our circle is not big, so it is very easy to know about one's family affairs. Many people have been talking about your marriage, which was how I got to know it."

"Who was spreading the rumors? Give me a name," he said casually.

Confused, she asked, "Well, why do you want to know that?"

"Are you sure you want to know the reason?"

She nodded firmly.

"I want to get the name so that I can know whom to deal with."

Despite his nonchalance, Lindsey detected a sense of bone- piercing chill in his eyes. Subconsciously, she swallowed and laughed. "A-Are you kidding?"

Jimmy, who was originally leaning against the railing, suddenly stood up straight and approached her. His threatening posture prompted her to step back, especially when she was daunted by his cold gaze.

Looking down at her, he warned, "I don't like to joke. If you don't believe me, you can try to continue spreading rumors outside. If I hear a word of it next time, don't blame me for being unreasonable. I'll make sure that you suffer terribly in my hands!"

He would make her suffer terribly?

As terror spread through her body, her face turned pale. Recalling how he had threatened Felix, she knew he would definitely not show any mercy to her if she did not do as he said.

"I-1 was not the one who spread the rumors, so why do you have to vent your anger on me..."

"Oh, didn't you tell Dakota?" Jimmy withdrew his cold expression and took two steps back.

Stunned, Lindsey was rendered speechless.

"I don't care who was the one who spread the rumors. Be careful with your words in the future!" Jimmy was strict as he spoke to her. "I'm not your father, so I won't show you any mercy. You've angered me, and I'll deal with you if it happens again. Also, stop bullying Dakota, or else you'll also be in trouble."

It was not Jimmy's habit to warn other people, but the situation this time around was different.

If she hadn't been quick enough, she would have been seriously injured.

"What are you doing?!"

He must have asked her to come here to avenge Lindsey. Ariah smirked in her heart, as she was disappointed to see how incorrigible the old man was. When he was young, he was not as bad-tempered as he was now.

Glaring at her, Felix said, "You are really my good daughter. For so many years, not only have you not said a word to the Myers Family, but you have also bewitched Jimmy, who is now eager to deal with our Myers Family. You are really my good daughter! Did you plan this when I asked you to marry Jimmy? Have you always wanted to find someone who can threaten the Myers Family?"

Immediately, Ariah understood why Felix was so angry. He had been embarrassed by Jimmy who had tried to protect her. To make it worse, he believed that Jimmy had been instigated by Ariah to challenge his authority. Since he could not do anything to Jimmy, he could only vent his anger on her.

After all these years, she had long gotten used to these people treating her like this. In an indifferent manner, she responded, "Jimmy is my husband, so he would definitely help me when someone bullied me. There was no one around me when I was bullied in the past. Are you not happy to see that someone is here to protect me now?"

Felix's face suddenly turned dark. How could he not sense the sarcasm and ridicule of Ariah? As rage spiked, he raised his hand and was about to beat her...

"Stop it!"

Ariah yelled and dodged Felix's slap. "Didn't Jimmy warn you that I'm his wife? If you hit me now, aren't you afraid that you'll be in trouble?!"

Felix's face froze when he heard that. Staring at her in disbelief, he wondered since when Ariah, who had always been so quiet, would openly resist him.

As Ariah turned around and pushed open the door, she saw Jimmy leaning against the wall and looked at her with his penetrating eyes.
