Stanley's expression was livid. It was clear that Rebecca had been beaten.
He put his hands on her shoulders, pushed her away slightly, and asked in a stern voice, "Who did this to you?"
Rebecca shook her head, pulled her clothes, gritted her teeth, and prevented her tears from falling.
Stanley frowned. "Rebecca, I'm asking you, who came?"
Rebecca murmured, "I want to take a bath..."
After staring at her for a while, Stanley finally nodded and said, "I'll be in the living room. You go to take a bath first. After that, we need a talk."
"Okay," Rebecca answered in a low voice, then got up and hurried into the bathroom.
Stanley circled around the room to have a look. It didn't seem like a burglar intrusion as the door lock did not show any signs of being damaged and everything in the room was intact, except for Rebecca.
Anthony was also shocked by the sight. He stood in the same place for a long time before reacting, "Boss, was that... Miss Lambert?"
On the way here, Stanley didn't explain what he was going to do, so Anthony didn't know that the person Stanley was coming to see was actually Rebecca.
But seven years ago, wasn't she...
Anthony didn't dare to think about it. The fact was so shocking that he was still confused.
Stanley pulled up the curtain and said casually, "She's not dead. She's been abroad for the past few years and has recently returned. I've only met her a few days ago."
Anthony couldn't say a word because he was too bewildered.
"But what about Madam..."
Anthony suddenly asked after a long silence.
Stanley's hands froze as he was closing the window. After a while, he withdrew his hand and said, "I'll find an opportunity to tell her. It's not a good time now."
Even he himself couldn't figure out what had happened that year. Telling Sharon was tantamount to adding more troubles.
Anthony nodded. This was also the best way to deal with this matter.
If Sharon knew that Rebecca was not dead, it would not be a good thing.
But-
Thinking of what he saw just now, Anthony felt uneasy again. "Miss Lambert should be okay, right?"
Stanley pursed his lips tightly and there was a coldness in his eyes.
Anthony didn't dare to ask any more questions. He didn't want nor dare to overthink this, but he couldn't help it when he saw Rebecca's current state.
It was possible that she...
In the bathroom.
Rebecca sank herself into the bathtub. Her mind was in a huge mess.
She shouldn't have called Stanley, nor should she let him know these disgusting things, but... she almost lost control at that time, and her mind was blank. She seemed to have lost her soul and just called Stanley.
Liam had done those nasty things to her, just like seven years ago when Stanley saw her in the bed with Liam with his own eyes.
She should have buried this matter inside and bear with it silently, pretending that nothing had happened. Why did she call Stanley and let him see this?
Rebecca came out of the bathtub and stood in front of the mirror. Looking at herself who was covered with bruises in the mirror, she slapped herself hard, and her cheek suddenly became numb.
Since Stanley was here and there was nothing she could do to change it, she might as well make good use of this opportunity.
Thinking of this, Rebecca took a deep breath, put on her clothes, pushed open the door of the bathroom and went out.
In the living room.
Stanley smoked in front of the window. He lowered his head and looked somewhere. No one knew what he was thinking.
However, his thin lips were tightly pressed together, revealing a little of his anger.
