Sharon came to her senses and shook her head hurriedly. "No. I'm okay."
He appeared in time and stopped Cecilia. Sharon was not hurt by them at all.
Stanley nodded and said, "That's a relief."
Then he looked up and glanced at the crowd one by one. His eyes were sharp and full of momentum. Cecilia was so shocked when he glanced at her that she retreated frightfully, her eyes filling with fear.
She had already experienced his menacing scheme.
She had the guts to confront Sharon because Sharon said that the man behind her was not Stanley. She did not expect that Sharon would lie to her!
How could she hide this ultimatum as her backer instead of showing off and revealing him?
At this time, Stanley said calmly, "Mr. Casey, is this how you discipline your daughter?"
Jordan Casey had been in the business world for so many years, and he had long been able to read people's minds and act accordingly. As soon as Stanley spoke, he immediately understood that Stanley wanted to get justice for Sharon!
Jordan made up his mind and pulled Cecilia out. "Mr. Jones, Cecilia did something wrong here. By all means, please punish her accordingly."
Cecilia shouted incredulously, "Dad!"
"Shut up!" Jordan glared at her fiercely. "You are always so hostile, arrogant, and domineering. I have told you long ago that you should be kind to others, but you just don't listen! Luckily it is Mr. Jones whom we met today. He is a great man who will forgive you and will not harbor grievance for your wrongdoings. If you behave like this again in the future and offend someone you shouldn't, let's see who can save you!"
Cecilia was so aggrieved that she could not say a word. She looked at Derrick with her red and watery eyes, yet he gritted his teeth and turned his face away. He felt uneasy and upset after what Sharon said.
Stanley sneered and said, "What do you mean by saying that I'm a great man who will forgive her? Mr. Casey, you are indeed an experienced businessman in the business world. I have to take the compliments even if I don't want to."
Jordan quickly waved his hand sheepishly. "Oh, no. I'm telling the truth. I just feel that Mr. Jones's temperament and generosity are something we can't compare with."
Stanley narrowed his eyes and did not speak. After a while, he pulled Sharon aside and said, "Wait for me here."
"What are you going to do?" Sharon was dumbfounded.
Stanley smiled and did not reply. He looked at Jordan calmly. "Mr. Casey, may I have a word with you?"
Jordan gaped in awe and quickly nodded, flustered. "Of course! This way please, Mr. Jones."
After that, he glared at his family again and said, "All right, watch your mouth and don't make a scene!"
At this moment, he could see that they could not afford to offend Sharon or they would face harsh consequences!
Cecilia was not in the mood to find fault with Sharon anyway. She thought of what Sharon just said. She said that Shawn was at Beachmarsh City... Besides, there was also a problem with Derrick. How would she explain the situation to him later?
Looking at his indifferent look now, he must be very pissed off.
Derrick had a better family background than she did. His family was rich. It was not easy for her to tackle such a man. She didn't want to give him up because of some old past.
"Derrick..."
Cecilia pulled his hand, trying to explain herself.
