Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 490

Ariah's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect the man to know her intention so quickly.

It seemed that she couldn't play dumb anymore...

Just as she was about to say something, suddenly, a harsh sound came from the radio. It seemed like the man had thrown down the microphone angrily. Soon, Ariah heard footsteps coming.

Her heart was beating like a drum as she kept her eyes fixed on the door. The next second, with a 'bang', the door was opened.

Ariah swallowed hard and took a few steps back in fear.

She saw a shadow enter the room. Upon seeing the person's face clearly, she almost screamed.

He was wearing a... clown mask!

It was the clown who Jimmy had shot dead the other day.

Was the clown still alive?

No, it couldn't be. Ariah forced herself to calm down. Even if the person in front of her was wearing a clown mask, they might not necessarily be the same person.

Because Ariah saw that clown die in front of her.

So this person was definitely not the clown who kidnapped her the other day!

Taking a few more deep breaths, Ariah forced herself to cool down.

"Who the hell are you?"

The man wearing the clown mask walked towards her step by step. He didn't say a single word, but Ariah could feel the threatening aura coming from him and couldn't help but step back. "Don't... don't come over!"

Although she repeatedly told herself that the man in front of her was not the clown that day, she was still afraid.

She could still remember how it felt like to be in the dark and damp basement, despite she was strong inside.

"I'm warning you. Don't come over here!"

Finally, Ariah broke down and screamed.

The man stopped and sneered. "Tsk, I thought you were brave. As I said, if you anger me, you won't end well!"

"I didn't anger you. I was just trying to figure out who you are so that I can know whether you will hurt me or not!" Ariah forced herself to say, "Anyone would do

that."

"Anyone? You're wrong. Anna didn't. Before you woke up, I went to see her and she was so scared that she broke down."

As he said that, he pointed at Anna behind the glass window. Anna's hair was disheveled and her face was filled with fear. Apparently, she was on the verge of going insane.

"But you're different. Not only can you be so calm, but you can even get me to spill the beans." The man continued as he walked around her, "You're much more interesting than Anna." He sounded as if he had found an interesting prey, which caused Ariah to tremble.

"You know Anna?"

"Would you like to know how I got to know you two?"

"Yes."

The fact that he could easily guess what she was thinking had made her even more frightened.

"Well, I've known Anna a long time ago. As for you, I've been secretly watching you for quite a while."

As expected, the man had been following her for some time already.

"Why did you kidnap us?" "Ah, how boring it will be if I just give you the answer. Since you're so smart, why don't you have a guess?"

Very good. Ariah was now certain that the man was already interested in her. He would probably keep her alive before he grew tired of her.

So right now, she shouldn't be in any danger yet. Thinking about this, Ariah felt a little more at ease.

"Sure, but you have to give me a clue to it make it a little more fair."

"Are you trying to get information out of me again?"

"Nah, you've misunderstood me. I know nothing about you and I even thought that you were either Anna or my enemy. Right now, I'm completely clueless." Seeing that Ariah was telling the truth, the man stared at her for a long while before he pointed to the mask on his face. "Take the hint from here."

The mask?

Ariah's heart skipped a beat. As expected, he had put on the mask on purpose.

"Do you... know that killer clown?"

Ariah hypothesized, "He had kidnapped me before and I'm frightened by this mask now. So you deliberately put this on to scare me and you want me to go insane like Anna did!" "You're indeed smart." The man clicked his tongue. "I only gave you a tiny little bit of information and you're able to guess my intention."

Did she really take the guess right? Ariah looked at him in a daze. "Why did you do this?"

"Aren't you supposed to ask what's the relationship between me and that clown who had kidnapped you and how I know about this?" Instantly, Ariah started to shiver. Indeed, how did he know about this when even her family didn't know about it?

Who on earth was he?

"You can't be him because he died in the basement that day. So you must be his accomplice. Are you trying to avenge him then?"

Just as Ariah said that, the man laughed out loud. "Tsk, I'm surprised you couldn't guess this. That guy doesn't deserve to be my accomplice. He was just one of my followers who listened to me!" Ariah was dumbfounded. That murderer actually listened to this man, then...

"You said that he listened to you. So was it you who ordered him to abduct me from the motel?"

"Finally, you know how to think with your brain."

The man snorted.

Ariah could feel that the hairs on her body stood on end. It turned out that she had been targeted by this man a long time ago!

"Remember that day in the motel, you received a phone call?" The man suddenly said.

Ariah stiffened. "It was you?"

"Yes, it was me."

It turned out that she had been in contact with this man before. Thinking about the inexplicable phone call she received in the motel that day, she felt a chill all over her body.

It was truly terrifying.

With a trembling voice, Ariah said, "You said that the killer clown listened to you. In the past two months, there were many murder cases in Beachmarsh City. Did you ask him to do that as well?" If that was the case, then this man was heinous!

The man sneered. "Well, that idiot did that in order to curry favor with me. I've been sick of him for a long time already. Thanks to Jimmy, that idiot had finally died."

Ariah looked at him in a daze, "Then... what about Kierra?"
