Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 152

Neither the newspaper nor the news on TV broadcasted the news about Sharon!

Jewel began to feel uneasy and mumbled to herself, "Did she survive?"

Did Harvey screw up this time?

Two nights had passed, but the kidnapping and expected murder were not reported anywhere. It was calm as if nothing had happened. She couldn't get through Harvey's phone and he didn't get in touch with her...

It was as if Harvey had disappeared into thin air.

She saw Harvey kidnapped Sharon with her own eyes, so she was certain that something must have happened to Sharon, but why there was no news at all... Did Stanley suppress this matter?

He was absolutely capable of doing so.

However, Jewel still felt uneasy. She remembered that the night before yesterday, at 11 pm, Anthony came to her house and asked if she had seen Sharon at the banquet. Jewel denied it at that time and Anthony left her place without saying anything.

Why did Anthony come to her house to ask about this? Were they suspicious of her?

Impossible!

She didn't give herself away. It was impossible for them to suspect her!

It was dark at that time and she deliberately lured Sharon to a corner where there was no monitor nor people. She did all this without a trace. It was impossible for Stanley to suspect her of participating in Sharon's kidnapping for no reason.

Unless...

Unless Sharon didn't die. Stanley rescued her, and she survived the ordeal, and then she sold her out...

Thinking of this, she gradually was on pins and needles, her blood running cold.

If that was the case, then she would be screwed!

Even if Stanley doted on her, she wasn't sure that he would forgive her after this matter.

Sitting in the chair in a daze, Jewel began to have a bee in her hornet and panicked.

"Ding-dong..."

The doorbell of the door suddenly rang. Jewel was so scared that she jumped directly from the chair and her heart beat fast. She stared at the closed door as if she was staring at a monster.

After a while, she slowly walked over to the peephole, took a look at it, and felt relieved.

It was none other than Stanley.

After adjusting her emotions, Jewel opened the door and said in a soft voice," Stanley..."

"Anthony, wait outside," Stanley ordered.

Anthony took two steps back. "Okay."

Stanley walked straight in. His expression was indifferent, and no one could tell his mood nor what exactly was he thinking about.

Jewel collected her thoughts and closed the door. Looking at the man's back, she said sweetly, "Stanley, it's lunchtime now. Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll ask my assistant to book a seat at the restaurant for us..."

Before she could finish her words, Stanley who was standing with his back to her suddenly turned around, pinched her neck with his pincer-like palm, and directly pressed her against the door with a loud bang.

Jewel was frightened. "Stanley, what are you doing? Let me go! It hurts!"

Stanley's dark and cold eyes were locked on her. He didn't use any force in his hand. "Do you know why I came here today?"

Jewel's heart skipped a beat. She suppressed her emotions and said with a smile, "Don't you want to see me? Let me go. You hurt me!"

Stanley gave a creepy smile. "I've always felt that you're just a little domineering, so no matter what you've done, I choose to turn a blind eye, but you shouldn't have helped Harvey Wells to kidnap Sharon."

Jewel was stunned, and her face turned eerily pale. Her body began to tremble as she made the final struggle and said, "W-What are you talking about? 1-1 don't know..."

"You investigated Sharon behind my back, to which I pretended that I didn't know about it and ignored it. Later, you went to Sharon and wanted to bribe her to make her leave me. You even drove her to a remote place and wanted those gangsters to rape her. Your plan failed, and you were pissed, so you used the power I gave you to pressure the police and wanted to send Sharon to prison. I knew all of them, but I didn't punish you simply because I wanted to protect Jensen's only sister for his sake!"

Jewel's body trembled more and more violently, and tears fell like a broken pearl necklace. She began to fear and panic. Stanley knew everything, but he kept silent all the time.

"But you shouldn't have such a vicious thought to be in cahoots with Harvey Wells and let him kidnap Sharon. You even lured me there so that you could use his hand to kill me and Sharon..."

"No!" Jewel shook her head violently, and her sharp voice interrupted him, "I didn't! I didn't want to kill you. I just... I just want Sharon to disappear. If she disappears, you will love me! You will only look at me then. I love you... I love you!"

Stanley stared at her, and his eyes were as deep as the sea. He said word by word, "I just want to see if you really work with him to kidnap Sharon... Jewel, you let me down!"

W-What did he say?

Jewel was astounded on the spot, and her trembling body calmed down. She looked at him incredulously, her face turned pale. "Y-You tricked me into telling the truth?"

Stanley pursed his lips and looked indifferent. His eyes were as cold as ice.

Last night, when Sharon asked him what he was going to do to Jewel, he didn't answer because he was not sure that Jewel was also involved in this matter.

That was why he tried to sound her out.

As a result...

The answer disappointed him to the extreme.

Stanley loosened his grip on her neck and looked at her indifferently as if he was looking at a stranger. "You've done so many bad things. What should I do to punish you?"

Jewel knelt down in front of him, knowing that she was totally screwed. "Stanley... I didn't mean it. Please forgive me, I beg you... I know I was wrong... I won't do it again."

As she spoke, she cried. Tears drenched her face and neck. Her image was ruined, and her hair was messy and disheveled.

Stanley looked down and said with a poker face, "When I first saw you, you were only the pure and shy 21-year-old girl, but look at you now. You are cruel, merciless, and scheming. I turned a blind eye to all these, but Jewel, you shouldn't have made a move on Sharon behind my back..."

At this point, his expression completely cooled down, and his eyes were sharp. "From today onwards, I have nothing more to do with you, and I will no longer bother about your affairs. No matter you are alive or dead, good or bad, it has nothing to do with me!"

After that, Stanley turned around and left.

"No!" Jewel screamed and threw herself at him to hug his leg. "You can't do this to me. I didn't do anything wrong. I love you, that's all. Don't abandon me. You promised my brother that you will protect me forever!"

"Yes, I did promise Jensen, but I didn't expect you to become like this and make me sick!" NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Stanley squatted down in front of her, raised her face, pinched her chin, and said with a dark look in his eyes, "I will give you a sum of money which is enough for you to spend the rest of your life comfortably. Anthony will send you away from Beachmarsh City. From now on, you are not allowed to step into Beachmarsh City again!"

Jewel shook her head desperately. "No! I won't leave!"

Stanley sneered and said, "It's my last mercy for you to leave. If you want to stay here, you will end up miserably. Are you still willing to stay here?"

Jewel was stunned. "What are you going to do to me?"

"You won't want to know!" Stanley got up and pulled back his leg mercilessly. "Pack your stuff today and get out of here!"

After saying this coldly, Stanley turned around and left.

Inside the house, Jewel sat on the ground with a pale face. Her usual bright and energetic image had completely disappeared. All that remained was her messy ending and karma.

When Sharon came to the company and handed over the resignation letter to the manager, the manager was obviously taken aback. "Sharon, what do you mean by this?"

"Manager, you know that I have been sick and often asked for leave since I came to the company. People like me can't bring any benefits to the company but only trouble."

Sharon took a deep breath and said, "So, I have decided not to burden the company by handing the resignation letter to you. Please sign the letter and dismiss me."

The manager's mouth twitched.

Sharon was not only the first employee who offered to terminate the contract with Jones Group but also used such an excuse.

The manager darted his eyes around. Knowing that she had a special relationship with Troy, he cleared his throat and said, "Well, Sharon, do you want to calm down before you decide.."

"I thought about it for a whole night before I made this decision. Manager, I've already made up my mind. Please approve my resignation." Sharon insisted.

The manager was worried that Troy would question him after dismissing her since Sharon had a special relationship with Troy, so he said, "I think you don't need to worry about this matter. Sharon, you go back and think about it first. Then you can come over and make your decision tomorrow."

The manager insisted on doing this and even sent her out of the room for the reason of being busy, so Sharon had no choice but to leave the company.

There were an SLR camera and a voice recorder pen in the bag she carried with her. All that was missing now was Jewel's residence address.

After thinking for a while, Sharon took out her mobile phone and called Anthony.

"Hello, Madam." Anthony was a little surprised to receive Sharon's call out of the blue. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Anthony, you are so smart."

"Madam, stop flattering me. Just tell me what you need."

Sharon smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be frank then. Do you know where Jewel lives?"

Anthony was surprised. He didn't expect that Sharon was looking for him because of this.

"Uh, why do you want to know where Miss Russell lives?"

"Just tell me if you know it or not."

"Don't tell me you don't know! I don't believe that. You have been working with Stanley for so long, so you must know his lover's address!"
