Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 179

A discordant and shrill voice sounded behind them.

After recognizing the voice, all of Sharon's good mood perished without a trace.

She stood out from behind Stanley and looked over. Sure enough, it was Cecilia.

No, in addition to Cecilia, there were three other people.

They were Evonne and two men. Since they were standing at quite a distance away, Sharon couldn't tell what he looked like. After scrutinizing for a long time, she recognized the body figure as she had seen him once two years ago. He was Cecilia's father.

Another man was relatively young and stood with Cecilia. She didn't know whether he was her boyfriend or an ordinary male friend.

"Sharon?" Evonne called out her name tentatively, but her eyes were fixed on the man beside her.

Sharon and Stanley stood in the dark while they stood in the open so that they couldn't see who Sharon was with.

Just now, when the two of them stood in the mall and kissed as if there was no one around, they happened to see them, so they followed them all the way.

Seeing them standing there and not moving, Sharon knew that if she didn't go over and say something, they would not leave her alone.

She thought for a moment and was about to walk over.

But Stanley held her wrist and said in a low voice, "Do you need my help?"

Sharon turned around and smiled at him. "I can settle it myself."

Stanley looked at the bright smile on her face. After a pause, he reached out and caressed her face gently. There was a smile in his eyes.

"Go ahead. I'll wait for you."

"Okay."

Sharon nodded and walked toward the people in front of her.

Cecilia sneered at her when she saw her coming over. "How dare you come to us?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Evonne rebuked her in a low voice, "Cecilia! Watch your tongue!"

Cecilia was stunned. She did not expect her mother, who always doted on her so much, to scold her. She could not believe it.

So, she stamped her feet angrily with an unhappy face.

The man standing beside her was her fiance, Derrick Wilkins. He patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be angry."

Cecilia couldn't say anything in front of her fiance, so she could only suppress the frustration.

Sharon was also a little surprised. She narrowed her eyes and thought, "What does Evonne mean by that? She has always treated me badly. Why does she help me this time?"

When they left the hospital last time, Sharon said something that shocked Evonne. After Evonne went back, she had been thinking about what Sharon said and realized that she didn't treat Sharon kind enough over the years.

She felt somewhat guilty and sorry for Sharon.

Another important reason was that she was in a relationship with Stanley. The Jones Family was not an ordinary family. If they still treated Sharon badly like they used to, she was afraid that there would be bigger trouble in the future.

Thinking of this, Evonne pointed to the man behind her. "Sharon, is that Mr. Jones? Since we have the chance to meet today, why don't we go for a meal or tea together?"

Sharon sneered. "You're mistaken. He's not Stanley Jones."

Evonne was still unwilling to give up. "Isn't he? I think he looks a little bit like..."

"What do you want?" Sharon didn't want to talk to her about Stanley. She didn't want to let such a family have any relationship with Stanley.

Evonne felt a little unhappy when she saw how unfriendly Sharon was, but she did not show it.

"Sharon, listen to me. If you are in a relationship with Mr. Jones, you'd better be loyal to him wholeheartedly and don't fool around with other men. Rich people like decent girls!"

Sharon flared up in dismay. "What do you mean? Do you mean that I'm indecent?"

"Huh, you are indecent!" Cecilia couldn't help mocking her. "There's not a single spot on you that is clean after mingling with so many men! Now that you know you are filthy, you should know your place!"

Sharon was no longer the naive girl who was irritated by her provocation but didn't know how to fight back.

"Oh? I'm filthy? What about you?" Sharon sized her up. "Cecilia, how old were you when you drugged Shawn back then? You were not even 20, right? You drugged a man at such a young age and slept with him. If I'm indecent and filthy, what are you then? Sly fox."

Sharon's words shocked Evonne. "What? Sharon, watch your mouth! Cecilia was so young at that time. How could she do such a thing!"

Cecilia didn't expect that Sharon would know these things. She was infuriated as these old scandals were exposed and Sharon even said it out loud in front of her fiance. "You slander me!"

"I didn't slander you, and you know it yourself." Sharon looked at her coldly.

Cecilia grabbed Derrick's arm and said, "Derrick, don't listen to her. This b*tch has always been jealous of me and she always talked behind my back when we were young. She purposely said these things in front of you. She slandered me!"

Sharon did not expect that Cecilia would be so unabashed. "Cecilia Casey, it should be the other way around, right? You are the one who has always set me up! It was Shawn who told me that you drugged him!"

Cecilia was stunned. "S- Shawn is in

Beachmarsh City?"

Sharon raised her eyebrows. "You don't know?"

"I don't. If I knew..." Cecilia blushed all of a sudden. If she had known, she would have gone to see him.

Sharon squinted at her reaction and was a little surprised. Did Cecilia like Shawn?

Before Sharon could say anything, Derrick shook off Cecilia's hand. "Cecilia, why are you blushing?"

Cecilia was astounded. "No, I'm not. I'm just..."

"Go grab a mirror and look at yourself. You blushed as soon as you heard Shawn's name. Is it true what she said?" Derrick pointed to Sharon and asked Cecilia, "Did you do those disgusting things?"

"No! She's slandering me. How could I do that? I didn't!"

Derrick pursed his lips, but it was clear that he didn't believe her. He had eyes, and he could tell what was true and what was not.

Cecilia was both angry and exasperated when she saw that he did not believe her, and vented her frustration on Sharon. "B*tch! How dare you!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and was about to slap Sharon in the face!

A man grabbed her wrist in the mid-air and Cecilia screamed in pain, "Ah..."

"Cecilia!"

Evonne went over to protect her daughter.

Derrick also stretched out his hand immediately. Stanley raised his eyes and looked at him sharply. Derrick was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, Stanley threw Cecilia's hand away.

Cecilia stumbled two steps back and almost fell down.

At this time, Cecilia's father, who had not spoken for a long time, came forward and said in surprise and respect, "Mr. Jones!"

As he spoke, he reached out and was about to shake hands with him.

Ignoring him completely, Stanley lowered his head to look at Sharon in his arms and asked in a deep voice, "Did they hurt you?"
