Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 467

Jimmy's voice was gruff as he spoke with a strict, stolid expression. Undeniably, Felix was shocked by his threatening manner. It was quite embarrassing to be menaced by someone younger than he was.

Felix was so shocked that he couldn't utter a word. He looked particularly weak and embarrassed because of Jimmy's height.

After a long time, Felix regained his voice. "W-What are you doing? Let go of me!"

While squinting his eyes, he said, "Do you want me to let go of you? Can you promise not to touch my wife?"

"What do you mean? C- Can't I educate my daughter? Behave yourself!"

"Don't forget that she's my wife." Jimmy's expression suddenly turned cold. "If she has nothing to do with me, you can teach her in whatever way you want. But she's my wife now, so you can't do what you want. Nobody can ever bully my wife!"

Felix was taken aback by the words, and his face was quite gloomy.

Jimmy, on the other hand, looked indifferent as he even dared to speak to his own father in such a manner. Furthermore, Felix was just his father-in-law that had nothing to do with him, so why did he have to be nice to the man who bullied his wife?

There was a moment of dead silence in the dining hall.

No one had expected that such a meal would end up like this. While Ariah had slapped Lindsey, Jimmy had directly fought with Felix. Everyone was stunned. Even Ariah did not think that Jimmy would stand up for her.

She had thought that Jimmy would choose to be a bystander in her family affairs.

After a long silence, the first one to react was Dakota. She hurriedly pulled at Jimmy's hand and said, "Quick, let go of him..."

After all, Felix was his elder, and it was inappropriate for him to treat Felix like this.

Therefore, Jimmy retracted his hand as though nothing had happened. Without even looking at the other people, he grabbed Ariah and sat down to eat. He even placed a piece of chicken into her bowl. "Don't you like eating this?"

Ariah was rendered speechless.

How could he pretend that nothing had happened after threatening Felix?

Without uttering a single word, she could only eat the food that Jimmy had fed her. Her mind was still thinking about Jimmy's words.

He had claimed that nobody could bully his wife.

For some inexplicable reason, Ariah felt a burning sensation in her ears, and her heart started to beat faster, too.

Obviously, Jimmy wanted to settle this issue with the Myers Family in peace. Since the initial wrongdoer was Lindsey, Felix could only suppress his anger while eating silently.

However, Lindsey didn't understand the rage in her father's eyes. She was still thinking of ways to ridicule Ariah.

"Ariah, apologize to me!" Lindsey pointed at Ariah's nose and scolded, "If you don't apologize today, you won't be able to step into the Myers Family in the future!"

If she didn't vent her anger, she would not be able to keep her dignity intact.

Upon hearing her words, Ariah raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything. Felix, who was sitting at the head of the table, suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Stop talking, Lindsey. Don't be so rude!" Stunned, she said, "Dad..."

She did not expect her father, who had always stood on her side, to lecture her in front of so many people. She had been embarrassed by Ariah, so why would he not teach Ariah a lesson like what he did in the past? Why did he vent his anger on her instead?

In a deep voice, Felix said, "Don't talk. Enjoy your meal. Do you hear me?"

Holding back her anger, she did not dare to utter another word. She knew that her father was really angry, so it was better to be obedient at present.

The meal was both eerily quiet. After everyone left, Dakota took the initiative to tidy up the table while Shonna was lazing off at the side. As Ariah's cold gaze swept over, Shonna froze for a moment. Thinking about what had happened just now, the maid shivered all over and immediately ran into the kitchen. "Let me do this. Please go and rest now..."

"Ariah, follow me to my study," said Felix who walked upstairs.

Ariah pursed her lips and followed silently.

Glancing at both of them, Jimmy was not worried that Felix would bully Ariah again as had just threatened her at the dining table. As an old man, Felix should know that Jimmy was serious when he said that he would always protect Ariah.

At the balcony, Jimmy took out the cigarette in his pocket and lit it. He then exhaled the smoke with his eyes squinted.

It was now that he finally understood the Myers Family, the situation in which Ariah was brought up.

She didn't expect Ariah to grow up under such circumstances.

If it weren't for his nonchalance, his father would not be afraid of not having a grandchild, which prompted him to find Jimmy a wife in a hurry. It had always been his intention to make sure that someone could inherit the heritage of the Hudson Family.

Just then, Jimmy thought of how bold Ariah was at the blind date banquet. Wearing a red, fiery gown, she looked indeed glamorous. As she walked up to him, she asked, "I'm the eldest daughter of the Myers Family. Are you willing to marry me?"

Jimmy thought that she was beautiful and outspoken, for she was not the kind of feeble woman whom he disliked. Since his family had always wanted him to get married, that young lady could be an ideal candidate.

She was such an ideal woman that attracted him at first sight.

The Hudson Family and the Myers Family were extremely happy. In less than a month, he managed to marry Ariah. That was how they became husband and wife although they were not very familiar with each other.

After getting married, Ariah became more attractive to him. He had been quite cold to her at the beginning, but now he had a little interest in this woman. In the end, he almost felt that it was indeed a wise choice to marry Ariah.

If he had let go of her, he might never meet another woman who was so charismatic.

"It's said that you and Ariah are about to get divorced. You came back together this time because Ariah asked you to act before her mother, right?"

Lindsey's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

As he turned around, he leaned against the railing and looked at her lazily. "Can I know who the gossiper was? I want to know who was so eager to incite hatred."

Jimmy was a tall man with long legs. His facial features, which were unfathomable, stunned Lindsey as she looked at him. There was even a hint of a smile in his eyes as if he was very friendly. For some reason, Lindsey's cheeks suddenly became a little hot.

In the past, she looked down upon him when he had just graduated from the police academy. However, in the past few years, this man had been promoted, and everyone in Beachmarsh City wanted to flatter him...

If she had been married to him that year, then he would be her husband now...
