Before Sharon could finish what she said, Stanley tightened his grip on her waist and lifted her up, putting her in the same height as he was. He glared at her with his lustful gazes.
Sharon felt her heart thumping nervously.
She thought, "D*mn it, I've released the beast inside him."
With that thought, Stanley approached her forcefully and kissed her lips firmly. Very soon, she lost all senses and consciousness.
When she woke up the next day, she found that the person next to her was still there, holding her tightly. Sharon moved a little and woke him up, greeting her in a hoarse voice, "Morning."
Sharon closed her eyes and answered lazily, "Morning."
"What time is it?"
"You're late for work."
She opened her eyes just now and glanced at the alarm clock. It was 9:30 am.
As soon as she finished, she felt the hand on her body retreat as Stanley immediately got off the bed. He stopped for a moment and turned back to give her a morning kiss on the forehead. "There is a meeting this morning that I must attend. You can sleep for a while longer. You were exhausted last night."
Sharon squinted at him.
She quietly pulled the quilt over her head and ignored him.
She heard him putting on his clothes quietly followed by the sound of water coming from the bathroom not long afterward. Sharon gradually fell asleep again as she listened to the drizzling shower sound.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already 11 am. Sharon felt very energetic after having a good sleep.
She went downstairs in high spirits. Hazel had already finished preparing breakfast and was waiting for her. While eating, Sharon was thinking about what had happened last night.
Stanley said that Liam and his father had something to do with Rebecca's death. She didn't know Stanley at that time, so she didn't know what had happened. There was another person who knew about the incident other than Stanley.
Hazel.
Thinking of this, Sharon narrowed her eyes and pulled Hazel over. "Stop what you're doing. Join me."
"After I finish doing the dishes..."
"I'll do it for you later. It's too lonely for me to eat alone. Join me, please." Sharon insisted.
Hazel smiled and said, "Okay."
Sharon immediately served Hazel a glass of milk. "Have a drink first."
"Okay, okay." Hazel quickly reached out and took it.
After chatting randomly for a while, Sharon suddenly changed the topic and said, "Hazel, there's something I want to ask you."
"What is it?"
"What on earth happened to Rebecca back then? How did she die"
Hazel froze and looked up at her. "Why do you want to know about this?"
"It suddenly crosses my mind, so I'm curious."
"Well, I want to tell you, but I'm afraid that Mr. Jones will..."
"Don't worry, he won't be angry with you. Even if he is, I will stop him!" Sharon patted her chest, thinking that he would give in since their relationship had improved lately.
"Besides, it's not like I can't know. Stanley told me some about what happened in the past last night, just not all of them."
Hazel took another sip of the milk. "Oh, what did he tell you?"
"He said that Liam and his father were responsible for Rebecca's death. Is that so?"
