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?
