Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 111

"Are you stopping me just to ask such a tasteless question?" He seemed to have lost his patience.

"Uh..."

"If that's nothing else, get out of my way then!"

Stanley pushed her away and strode out.

Sharon stared at his sturdy back and blurted out, "Are you still angry? What are you angry about? I'm not even that angry anymore, so you cannot be angry with me!"

She blurted it like some kind of a tongue twister.

Stanley stopped and looked back at her. "Don't you know why I'm angry?"

"I don't know!"

"Number one, you got so close to Liam behind my back. Number two, you dared to go on a date and have dinner with him. Number three, you even kissed him under my watch. Sharon, if you were a thing, I would have thrown you away!"

He stated the several charges at her loud and clear. These charges were like bricks that had knocked her into a daze.

After a long while, she suddenly came to her senses and huffed indignantly. "Why am I not a thing!"

Stanley gave her a sidelong glance and said, "Yes, you're a thing."

"Arrg, I'm not a thing... I'm not..." Sharon got completely tongue-tied. "I'm a person!"

The corners of Stanley's lips curled up as if he was smirking.

Sharon pointed at his nose angrily. "How dare are you slinging mud at me? He kissed me on purpose, and I didn't kiss him back. When I knew Liam, I didn't know that he was your brother by blood!"

The more Sharon thought about it, the angrier she became. Sure enough, this bad man really wanted to throw her away.

Since he really cared about Liam touching her, why didn't he divorce her?

"Who told you that Liam and I are blood brothers!" Stanley frowned and stared at her with a grumpy look.

Sharon rolled her eyes and said, "Anthony told me. Hazel told me. They both told me. So, do you still want to deny it?"

Stanley pursed his lips. It turned out that there were "traitors" around him.

He had never thought of telling Sharon about his relationship with Liam from the very beginning. In his heart, Liam and he were not a family at all.

Seeing that he looked a little grumpy, Sharon suddenly felt grieved. "I don't know that you and Liam are brothers, and I don't even know the grudge between you and him. If I knew earlier that he deliberately approached Rebecca and let Rebecca cheat on you, which upset you, I won't keep in touch with him no matter what..."

Stanley suddenly raised his head and his eyes were sharp. "Who told you about Rebecca?"

His reaction stunned Sharon. After all these years, did he still not forget Rebecca? Couldn't she even mention her name?

If he loved Rebecca so much, why did he marry her?

"Talk!" Seeing that she didn't say anything, he raised his voice.

Sharon shrank his neck in horror and hurriedly said, "Hazel..."

After a pause, she added, "Don't blame her. I forced Hazel to tell me. I'm just too invested in your past and want to know why you hate Liam so much, so I went to ask Hazel. Don't blame her."

She quickly spoke for Hazel seeing how pissed off he was that he might blame Hazel for fibbing.

Stanley's deep gaze fixed on her for a few seconds. In the end, he pursed his lips and turned to leave.

Sharon stood there for a long time.

It wasn't until her legs began to ache that she came to her senses.

Just now, she felt a little hot, but now, she suddenly felt a little chilly...

She turned around and went to the bathroom to take a hot bath. After that, she came out of the bathroom. When she passed by the study, she glanced at it and found that there was no one in it. She pursed her lips and went downstairs.

There was also no sign of Stanley on the first floor.

Sharon sat down on the sofa. After a while, Hazel came over. Seeing that Sharon was alone, she asked curiously, "Where is Young Master?"

Sharon pouted and said, "He went out."

"What? Why didn't I see it?"

"Maybe you're busy with your work."

"Maybe." Hazel sat down beside her and saw that she was a little upset. "Madam, what's wrong?"

Sharon pursed her lips.

"You can tell me anything."

Sharon glanced at Hazel. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I am the best person to talk to. You can tell me whatever you want."

Sharon couldn't hold it in any longer. Her eyes reddened and she said, "Just now, when I was upstairs, I mentioned Rebecca. Stanley seemed to be angry."

Hazel was stunned. "Didn't you say that he told you everything about Miss Rebecca?"

"I lied to you. He didn't tell me anything. I heard about Rebecca's death when my colleagues were gossiping in the office."

"What?"

"What should I do? Did I piss him off again?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Hazel patted her hand and said, "Tell me everything that happened upstairs."

Sharon retold Hazel what had just happened.

After hearing this, Hazel frowned and said, "Young Master should not be angry. Maybe he just doesn't like to hear about Rebecca and Liam. After all, it is a matter of men's dignity."

Sharon was a little confused. "Really?"

Wasn't it because he loved Rebecca too much that no one else could mention her name?

"The affairs between Miss Rebecca and Liam had made Young Master unhappy for a long time. Back then, Miss Rebecca was already his fiancee, but she cheated on him with Liam. Put yourself in his shoes, Madam. No man can stand such humiliation, can't he?"

Sharon thought about it and agreed.

"What's more, Although Miss Rebecca has passed away for so many years, it's normal if Young Master still misses her a little. After all, they almost got married back then."

Seeing that Sharon was still looking rather upset, Hazel cleared her throat and immediately changed the topic. "Also, you don't have to be jealous. You are the winner now."

Sharon blinked. "How am I a winner?"

"You are the one who owns Mrs. Jones's title, not Rebecca, so you win. You're alive. Rebecca passed away. You win. You stay with the Young Master. Rebecca didn't. Madam, you win again."

Hazel looked at her with a smile. "So tell me, aren't you the winner here?"

Sharon looked at Hazel in astonishment.

Suddenly, she felt that Hazel was a little scheming, and she actually had more sly thoughts than anyone else.

"Well, Hazel, why are you standing on my side? Don't you like Rebecca?"

Hazel curled her lips and said, "I don't like her. Why should I like a woman who cheated?"

Sharon could only smile awkwardly and did not know what to say.

At the same time, Shawn bumped into Liam in a restaurant.

Shawn went to the bathroom. When he came out, the door of one of the private rooms was opened and Liam came out of it. Shawn smiled when he saw him. "What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here, Liam."

Liam was equally stunned when he saw Shawn. He did not expect that Shawn had already come to Beachmarsh City.

"Shawn, long time no see," Liam composed himself and greeted him with a smile.

He leaned against the wall and said with a faint smile, "Since it's such a coincidence, why don't we sit down and have a meal together?"

Shawn nodded and said, "Why not?"

So, a peculiar get-together happened just like that.

Liam and the Lewis Family had a lot of grievances. After Shawn inherited the Lewis Family's sovereignty, he had been looking for Liam, but Liam managed to escape several times. He didn't expect that they would meet here.

"Shawn, are you here in Beachmarsh City for a long stay or a short visit?"

Liam asked as he ordered someone to serve the food.

Shawn glanced at him indifferently. "You're worried that I'll become a threat to you if I stay in Beachmarsh City, aren't you?"

Liam smiled. "You really deserve to be the successor of the Lewis Family. Your eyes are sharp. However, Shawn, this is Beachmarsh City, not Cresthill. Before you make your move on me, you should think about the consequences."

This was also a problem that Shawn was afraid of.

"On the contrary, if you need my help, I'm willing to lend my hand as long as I can help you." Liam saw right through his thoughts and said with a smile, "So what do you think about my suggestion?"

Shawn would not come to Beachmarsh City for no reason. There must be something very important for him to come here, but he was not familiar with this place, so his hands were most likely tied if he wanted to do something.

Besides, his proposal could temporarily make Shawn put down his grudge and leave him alone.

Shawn narrowed his eyes and looked at Liam in front of him. Liam was indeed a quickwitted man who took charge of the discourse in just a few remarks.

While he was deep in thought, the door of the private room was pushed open again. Peter came in from outside and said in a low voice, "Young Master, I have contacted Miss Cruz's friend."

Shawn tilted his head. "What did she say?"

"I lied to Miss Graham, saying that we were from Miss Sharon Cruz's hometown and we couldn't find her in Beachmarsh City. We found out that Miss Sharon and she were classmates, so we wanted to ask her to help us and take Miss Sharon out to meet you."

Shawn smiled. "Then she agreed?"

Peter sighed. "Miss Graham is very cautious. She was a little suspicious of what I said and refused to come out to meet me."

Shawn nodded. This was human nature, so it was normal for her to be suspicious.

Shawn thought for a moment and said, "Call Miss Graham again. Make sure she comes out and meet me."

"Okay."

Peter took the phone and was about to exit the room when Liam, who had not spoken all the time, said, "Wait."

Peter stopped and turned back. "Mr. Frazier, do you have something to say?"

Peter also knew Liam. Back then, Liam had stayed in the Lewis Family for a while, so Peter recognized him.

Liam sat on the chair with his arms crossed in front of his chest and a faint and slight peculiar smile on his face. "If I'm not mistaken just now, are you all talking about a woman named Sharon Cruz?"

Peter said grumpily, "Yes, she is our Young Master's beloved woman. He has been looking for her for many years."

His beloved woman?

The smile at the corner of Liam's mouth grew wider and wider. At first, when he heard Peter mention Sharon's name, he was a little surprised, thinking that he had misheard it.

"Miss Sharon is studying at Big Valley University now, right? Her hometown is a small town in the south. Am I right?"

Not only Shawn, but Peter was also shocked. "Mr. Frazier, how did you know about this?"

The smile on Liam's mouth slowly increased. "Because I know the woman that your Young Master loves."
