Anthony gaped his mouth open and stammered, seemingly a little shocked by Sharon's remark. After a long time, he said, "Madam, do you mean that you deliberately went out on a date with Liam because you are so angry about Boss' rumors and wanted to piss him off?"
Sharon frowned. "I didn't say that."
"But... That's what you meant..."
Sharon was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt a little tired. What was the point of her arguing with Anthony here?
She already knew Stanley's attitude toward her clearly in the car earlier. He was indifferent and despised her, and he looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger.
She wanted to explain to him that Liam didn't kiss her with her consent. She was forced into kissing him. Now that she thought about it, the explanation seemed redundant.
She would just let him be with his misunderstandings. He could think whatever he liked.
"I'm tired. Anthony, please go out. I want to rest."
Sharon put the glass on the table, pulled over the quilt, and lay down with an indifferent attitude.
Anthony stood for a while and let out a long sigh. When he went out, he turned off the lights.
In the darkness, Sharon opened her big eyes, and what happened a few hours ago appeared in her mind uncontrollably. Stanley was so fierce to her, and he even looked at her with that kind of cold eyes. She had never seen such a side of Stanley in her life. His glares were so horrible that he did not look like his old self at all.
In the short span of a few minutes in the car, she was really afraid of him.
Why would he do that to her?
Just because of that kiss?
She still felt aggrieved. The more she thought about it, the more miserable she felt. However, even if she was very sorrowful, she would never shed a tear.
After Anthony went out of the ward, he went directly to the empty underground parking lot, which was as quiet as a graveyard.
He slowly approached and saw that the window of the driver's seat was half-opened, the cigarette smokes exhuming from inside the car.
"Boss, Madam just woke up." Anthony reported, "Now she probably fell asleep again. It seems that she is in a relatively good condition with no other symptoms. It's just that her arm hurts a little when she woke up just now."
After Anthony finished speaking, Stanley who was sitting in the car did not make a sound for a long time.
Anthony's heart was beating like a drum. He didn't know what Stanley was thinking, so he was a little anxious.
After a long while, Stanley looked up with his blood-shot eyes. "Did she say anything?"
Anthony shook his head and said, "She didn't say anything. She just asked about her situation."
If Stanley learned about what Sharon said in the ward just now, he would inevitably lose his temper again. Therefore, Anthony just pretended that nothing had happened and said nothing.
Stanley took a deep breath, and the smell of smoke spread through his lungs. The smoke eased his restlessness. He leaned back, closed his eyes, and his Adam's apple bobbed. "You can go back now. I want to be alone."
Anthony was worried. "Boss..."
"Get lost!"
Stanley growled impatiently and furiously.
Anthony was shocked and immediately stepped back. "Okay."
After walking for a few steps, Anthony stopped and looked back. In the huge parking lot, Stanley sat alone in the passenger seat, smoking quietly with a gloomy expression on his face.
He looked a little lonely and injured.
Anthony sighed and slowly walked away.
In the villa, Liam kicked the tea table, and everything on the table was broken into pieces.
William Carney came in with the family doctor, but he didn't know whether he should go in or out.
He waited until the enraged Liam calmed down that he slowly approached him and said, "Young Master, I've brought the doctor here. Please let him tend to your injury."
Liam sat on the sofa, panting heavily, and his eyes were full of creepy gloom.
William gestured to the doctor, to which the doctor nodded and immediately went up to check Liam out. After checking his injury thoroughly, the doctor found that he did not sustain any serious injury, so he reminded them of a few things to be taken note of, left some medicine, and then hurriedly left.
As soon as he opened the door and left, another person came in.
"What's going on? What's with the loud noise?"
William looked back and found that it was Liam's business partner, Harvey.
There was a bloody wound on Liam's face which made him look more dangerous than usual. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Harvey laughed and said, "I happened to come to you for something, but I didn't expect you to lose your temper. I can even hear the noise downstairs."
After that, he pointed to the wound on his body. "Would you mind telling me what's going on?"
Liam snorted, "It's none of your business!"
"Hey, Liam, we are business partners in the same boat." Harvey casually took a bottle of wine on the bar counter, took two sips, and said with a straight look, "Was that Stanley's work?"
Liam warned him with a poker face, "Harvey, did I tell you that you'd better not meddle in my affairs and don't ask too much!"
