Chapter 133
Arabella’s words did make sense. Edith had already suspected this, as Cliff had always used similar tactics. However, what intrigued her now was why Cliff was targeting James and Arabella? Was it because James and Arabella had been caught red-handed by Cliff without his knowledge? What was Cliff’s real purpose in following the pair?
Edith bent down and stared at Arabella, who seemed unafraid. “How did you guess it was Cliff p>
“Because I just broke up with him and he must be holding a grudge against me p>
“No. I don’t think your assumption is accurate,” James argued, staring at his ex firmly.
“Do you have any other thoughts?” Callum asked, looking at James.
“I actually suspect Cliff sent someone to spy on us because he was angry that Arabella was cheating on him now p>
Arabella rolled her eyes as she shifted her buttocks away from her ex-lover. “Wait a minute! Maybe Cliff misunderstood what I was being so affectionate with you yesterday p>
“Do you finally understand now why I suddenly acted cold towards you yesterday p>
Arabella looked down for a moment, embarrassed. “Is it because you want to protect me p>
“Of course! I told you yesterday. From now on, I will be your personal bodyguard p>
Meanwhile, Callum and Edith were once again jealous, seeing this pair of friends who were just as affectionate as they were. Now, Callum even wanted to kick them out for making him jealous. If only he hadn’t said yes to James’s invitation last night, now he and his family would be just as sweet.
“But, if it’s like this, won’t it be even harder for you to find evidence from Cliff, Arabella?” Callum asked firmly.
“Actually, it’s easy. I can pretend like I want to get back with Cliff p>
James immediately gripped his ex’s hand tightly. “I won’t let you do that p>
“Why? The only way I can get revenge on Cliff is to become his ally again p>
“I think this is too dangerous! I won’t let you get into any more danger p>
Arabella suddenly felt her jaw tighten at the sound of her ex-boyfriend’s firm voice. She knew he still liked her, which was why he was acting so overly so. However, she was still confused about whether she truly loved him or just liked him. This was due to Cliff’s dumping, which left her slightly traumatized by falling in love with anyone.
“It’s okay. Besides, Cliff won’t hurt me if I treat him well p>
“Arabella, you should think this through. I know you want to help me, but I don’t want to put your life in danger either,” Edith suggested softly.
Arabella smiled shyly, unaccustomed to seeing her enemy so concerned for her. “It actually feels strange to see you suddenly care about me p>
“Because you’re pregnant. I want your baby to be born healthy p>
“You don’t have to worry so much about me, as I’m always so awkward around you.” Her gaze fell on her ex-lover, who was still worried about her. “I’m fine. If I hadn’t cooperated with Cliff, how long would you have been searching for evidence p>
“Actually, I already know who the mastermind is. My memory has completely returned p>
Arabella’s eyes widened. “So, you remember what happened at the hotel with Cliff p>
Edith smiled casually. “I don’t mind that anymore. What’s certain is that thanks to my memories returning, I now know the true chronology of the accident p>
“So, who is the main mastermind?” asked James, impatient.
“Yvette p>
Hearing the name of the bitch who slapped her cheek made her blood pressure immediately rise. Arabella vented her anger by hitting the back of the sofa. “That woman is truly too much! She’s still not satisfied with letting you go, and now she’s targeting me p>
James furrowed his brows and rested his chin on his hand. “This is so strange. Why would she want to kill you guys? What’s her real goal? If she wanted to harm Arabella, I could still understand it, since Arabella is Cliff’s ex-girlfriend p>
“Because Yvette is so obsessed with Callum p>
“What?!” James and Arabella screamed in unison, glaring at Callum.
Callum immediately put his arm around his fiancée’s shoulders. “I don’t care if Yvette says she likes me, but I still love Edith p>
Edith nodded. “I won’t give you to that woman either p>
“But how could Yvette be obsessed with you? Haven’t you been hanging out with her all this time?” Arabella asked in surprise.
“It seems like it’s because she doesn’t want me to live a happier life than her,” Edith concluded with a gloomy face.
Callum nodded. “That’s a reasonable reason. Especially since Yvette has been desperately wanting Edith out of her life p>
“That woman is insane. She’s been obsessed with you all this time, and then she stole Cliff from me p>
“Arabella, if you weren’t pregnant, it would seem that relying on you for revenge would be perfectly appropriate. But I won’t allow you to do anything dangerous p>
“Callum, you shouldn’t care so much about me. I have a clever trick to make Cliff fall for me again p>
Still, James didn’t want Arabella involved in this dangerous mission, even though the situation was like this. Arabella was the only person they could rely on. Even though he had various devices to prevent her from being caught on a secret mission, he didn’t want to lose his special woman this time.
Meanwhile, Callum could only take a deep breath and then exhale slowly. “Okay, if you’re stubborn, I won’t stop you. But if anything happens to you, it won’t be entirely my fault p>
Arabella picked up her sling bag and pulled out an access card. “I’m stubborn because I have this p>
Edith’s eyes widened. “Could that be the key to Cliff’s private office p>
“You’re really smart, Edith. Because I’m the only one who can access his office p>
“But, does Cliff still allow you to use it now p>
“You don’t have to worry about that anymore. Cliff certainly doesn’t know I have this card p>
“If one day Cliff catches you in this act, what will you do p>
