Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 710

Nicole was walking further and further away. Ariah came back to her senses, and after hesitating for a moment, she chased after Nicole.

"Hey!"

Shouting behind her, Felipe ran over as well. "Why are you following her?"

Without looking back, Ariah answered, "You wait here. I'll sneak inside, so I won't expose myself."

"But Jimmy wanted me to take you away."

"She might get Jimmy into trouble, so I must keep watch on her." Ariah followed closely behind. "Go back, Felipe. I'm afraid you might get shot."

After standing on the same spot for a while, Felipe sighed and followed her helplessly.

Ariah looked at him. "Why are you following me?"

"Jimmy ordered me to protect you. I have to take responsibility for your safety." Felipe snorted. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Amused, Ariah laughed. That kid was surely a lovely guy. He was somewhat weird yet prideful.

When they were about to reach the villa, Felipe stopped Ariah from going further. He said that it was too dangerous inside, and he was afraid that they might get shot.

However, the outcome of the battle inside the villa was clear. Camden was caught off guard by Jimmy's sudden attack. Lacking manpower and strength, he was defeated instantly.

Throwing away an empty gun in his hand, Jimmy walked up to Camden. Camden seemed to be injured as blood was flowing out from his abdomen. Although he was in a mess, his eyes were still calm as usual. Not even a trace of panic flashed across his face.

Standing in front of him, Jimmy said condescendingly, "Camden Reeves, I think it's finally time for us to get settled with what happened 8 years ago."

Camden smiled faintly. "I'm sorry. I won't die at your hands today. Seems like things won't be ending so easily."

"You are surely very confident, aren't you?" Pulling over a chair, Jimmy sat opposite him. "Camden, I'll let you go only on one condition."

Camden seemed to be interested. "What is it? Tell me."

"Let Nicole go and leave her alone from now on. You're not even allowed to meet her. Think of her as dead and cut her out of your life."

Squinting his eyes, Camden seemed to be considering whether it was a good deal. After a moment, he smiled and said, "What if I say no?"

"No?" Raising his eyebrows, Jimmy smiled. "That's fine, but you and your men will be dead meat today. Do you want to do it the hard way or exchange Nicole for all your subordinates' lives? Think twice."

Upon hearing that, Camden suddenly burst out laughing. He kept laughing until he accidentally pulled his wound. For a moment, his face turned pale, but he said, "These people dedicated their lives to me from the day they decided to work for me. If you want to kill them, go ahead."

He was ruthless and cold-blooded. Not only did he not care about his own life, but he did not care about other people's lives either.

Jimmy knew he was a stubborn guy. He already experienced it 8 years ago. Sighing, he said, "Throughout the years Nicole state with you, besides being abused by you, did she take anything away from you?"

Camden's expression gradually changed.

Jimmy continued, "She had been tolerating your abusive behavior for so many years. What do you think drove her through the years? It's the belief of sending you to prison one day that kept her strong. She is a policewoman. Throughout the years, she had already secretly collected evidence of all the crimes you've committed, including your smuggling channels, as well as evidence of you bribing the higher officials. Do you think I'm begging you to set her free? I'm simply trying to inform you that from now on, Nicole will no longer live under your control and abuse."

As he finished his sentence, Camden's expression turned completely dark.

It seemed like Camden's subordinates could feel his anger. Nervous, they stared at Jackson, who was standing behind Jimmy and fully armed.

Jackson was as though an ancient war of god. As soon as he appeared, he tied all the bodyguards in the villa together and threw them in the corner.

At that moment, he was leisurely leaning against his motorcycle, wondering how long it would take for Jimmy to finish things.

Suddenly, he heard some light footsteps. Subconsciously, his face turned cold, and he pointed the gun towards the direction of the sound. However, he halted upon seeing the person standing in front of him.

"Miss Hart..."

Jackson called out to Nicole, but she ignored him. Her eyes were fixed on Camden, who was not far away.

Jackson did not expect her to show up all of a sudden. When he saw the vengeful look on her face, his heart sank. Instantly, he knew that something was not right, so he gave his subordinate, who

was standing beside Nicole, a look.

Understanding what he meant, the subordinate quietly walked towards Nicole. Suddenly, Nicole took out a gun from her pocket, raised her arm, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The loud bang rang through the sky, startling everybody who was present.

The bullet brushed past Camden's arm, missing his vital organs.

Instantly, Jimmy turned around and saw Nicole, who was pressed down on the ground by Jackson's subordinates. Shocked and angry, he shouted, "Nicole, what are you doing?!"

Panting heavily, Nicole said, "Let go of me! I'm going to kill him!"

The only thing she wanted to do today was to kill Camden with her own hands and avenged the humiliation she had suffered for so many years.

If Jackson's subordinate had not suddenly rushed out and pushed her away, the bullet would not have missed Camden.

He would have been dead!

In compliance with Jackson's order, the subordinate did not dare to move. He pressed Nicole down like he was handling a criminal. No matter how much Nicole struggled, he did not move a single inch. He pressed down on her like he was a rock.

Camden covered his bleeding arm. When he looked up, he saw Nicole being pressed down on the ground by the man. Their bodies were so closed that she could hardly even move. That scene was somehow getting on his nerves.

Feeling a burst of anger inside him, he looked at Jimmy and sneered, "Are you going to watch others bully her just like that?"

Frowning, Jimmy cast Camden a glance before striding over to pull up Jackson's subordinate.

Nicole stood up from the ground. Face covered in dust, she was in a disheveled state.

Jimmy lowered his voice and asked, "What are you doing here?"

After saying that, he looked behind her nervously to check whether Ariah was there. Once again, he frowned and said, "Did you see Ariah on your way here?"

Nicole did not know that Ariah actually followed her here. "Felipe took her back, don't worry."

Breathing a sigh of relief, he turned to Jackson and said, "Brother King, please get someone to drive Nicole back."

If nobody took Nicole away by force, she would not leave.

"I'm not leaving!" As expected, upon hearing Jimmy's words, Nicole frowned and shook off his hand. "I am going to finish what I've started."
