"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.
"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."
