You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 462

“Damien?” It was the only name that rang in Arabella’s mind after hearing Bill.

Lira was so in love with Damien but Arabella could still not find any reason for all these ruckuses involving her friends.

Arabella was lost instantly.

Even though she tried hard to wrack her brain, she could not find any clue about the accusations relating to her friends.

Why so sudden?

It was still unbelievable for Arabella and there was no way she would believe all the accusations.

“Bill, they are all my friends. What’s happening here?” Arabella was at a loss.

“Calm down, my men were on it. Whoever is innocent will get free and the real culprit will take its verdict, okay?” Bill calmed Arabella down.

“No, you are barking at the wrong tree, Bill! Lira is innocent and Damien…” Arabella paused.

She knew Damien got a hot temper and tend to be violent sometimes but he did it to himself, not to another person.

She remembered when they were still living abroad, Damien had always a bandage on his hand.

She saw him punching the wall repeatedly once when he got offended by her and the next morning, he just said that it was just an accident.

She never told Damien what she saw him at that time but that was just once.

And if Damien was really a bad guy, he would not help her and Adam from the start.

He would not offer his place for a start and he would not be there to support her career and Adam.

“Bill, I believe Damien is innocent too. For god’s sake, they are my friends! They have been with me for a long time, Bill. They helped me when I lost everything. They helped me with nothing in return. How could this happen? It could not be, please you have mistaken them. They are innocents Bill.” Arabella had gone hysterical and mad.

She didn’t like the situation where her friends were the victims.

These people didn’t do bad to her but all goodness.

If it weren’t for them, how could she survive the past?

Especially, when she was still carrying Adam at that time.

She had nowhere to go.

Not enough money to sustain her stay in somewhere else’s room.

Damien offered her a free stay until she got work and money to sustain her living.

He did not charge her full but half.

If she had to compute it, her stay with Damien’s place was free because he full her refrigerator every month with groceries and he didn’t ask for anything in return.

When her career flourished, Damien even took care of Adam and the two got along well together.

Bill stayed silent and Arabella didn’t like it.

Judging Bill’s expression, Arabella knew he didn’t believe her and it saddened her.

He was thinking deeply.

Arabella looked at Bill seriously.

She knew, he could only help her.

He had the capability to help her if he wanted to.

All she needed to do was to make him believe that her friends were innocent.

“If you don’t believe me, let’s go to Damien’s house. Damien will tell anything to you. Okay?” Arabella was determined to finish this nonsense accusation.

Bill looked at her.

His expression was empty but his eyes were deeply serious.

“Damien is out of the country.” He announced firmly.

It seemed Bill had done the advance investigation before going to Arabella.

Arabella was taken aback after hearing Bill's words.

It wasn’t a surprise though since Lira said earlier that Damien was on leave.

She just thought that Damien was feeling sick and just stayed in his house.

She didn’t know he flew abroad.

“Oh,” Arabella only uttered still trying to think what was Damien doing abroad.

Did Lira know about it?

“I didn’t know,” Arabella uttered with a blank expression.

She was lost.

If Damien was abroad what about Lira?

Did he even know that Lira was inside a cell now?

Damien! You need to come back!

She was lost in her thought when Bill suddenly grabbed her hands.

“Look, this matter, just leave it to my men. Okay? They were tracking Damien now and you can’t do anything as Lira had confessed about the crime.” Bill wanted to ease her trouble.

“I want to speak with Lira, Bill. I want to know the truth from her.” She uttered sincerely. Arabella was so tired of thinking. She just wanted to know the truth all about this.

“Lira was not going to face you. She didn’t want to accept visitors.” Bill seemed to know everything.

He had it all in his hand.

Arabella heaved a deep sigh.

She could feel her body still trembling due to her anxiety.

She could not just sit there and wait for Damien’s coming but Bill was right.

Lira had confessed and she was not willing to cooperate. Damien…

She needed to find Damien.

Maybe he knew everything and he had the answer to Lira’s action.

But how?

If Damien went abroad? How could she track him?

Damien had no family that she could contact or ask about his whereabouts.

“I have a spare key in Damien’s house. Maybe we can find something there if where he went? Can you drive me there?” After realizing that Damien had given her a spare key to his house, she quickly told Bill.

Bill heaved a heavy sigh before he started his engine.

It seemed that he had to give all she wanted otherwise, Arabella would not stop.

Her beautiful face was so determined to solve the case and erased all the accusations that were pointing to her friends.

When they arrived at Damien’s house, Arabella quickly opened the door.

They went inside and Bill’s men stayed outside.

Arabella went to the second floor while Bill remained on the ground floor.

She went to all rooms but she could not open Damien's room.

She heaved a heavy sigh.

In respect of Damien's privacy, she would not barge into his room.

In the first place, she shouldn't be there.

They shouldn't be there.

Arabella suddenly felt guilty.

What she was doing right now was like investigating his friend, Damien.

What she was doing right now had no difference from falsely accusing her friend.

She trusted Damien.

Arabella halted and then went down.

After a while, Arabella went back to Bill empty-handed and with a frustrated expression.

“You seemed to be so familiar with Damien’s house, huh?” Bill suddenly uttered with a teasing tone.

He just wanted to break Arabella's mood toward the sudden situation.

Arabella rolled her eyes at him.

Bill was starting to tease her again and she was in the mood for that.

She was mad because she could not do anything to help Lira in the prison.

She looked at Bill as she smirked annoyingly.

“Hmmm, yeah because this house is supposed to be mine. Damien offered this house to me but I refused it.” She answered provoking something.

“Hmmm…” Bill uttered. “Why did you refuse it? It’s not bad. The man had a taste.” Bill sounded doubtful.

Arabella looked at Bill.

“I don’t want it.” She simply answered.

“Just like that?” Bill asked still doubtful.

Arabella nodded. “Hmmm… you still don’t know me, my friend.” She tapped Bill’s shoulder, smiled, and then went ahead out.

Bill smirked cutely.

She was using the word friend with him again.

She was cute and it turned him on.

But when could she possibly control herself?

Bill was excited to know.

When she saw him earlier, her stare was undeniable.

She was happy to see him and if he was not mistaken, she had a great desire for him.

It seemed his trick was effective.

It made him satisfied and he would continue to play with her game until she would beg him and deliver herself to his room willingly.

With his thoughts, Bill smiled satisfyingly and went out.
