Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 212

Outside the private room.

Two tall figures were leaning against the wall. Their posture was casual. One was standing and another was leaning. Both men were eyecatching, and they looked like art.

Stanley picked up a cigarette with the tip of his finger. A scarlet light flashed on the dark corridor, reflecting the darkness in his eyes.

"Do you have any clues?"

Taking in a deep breath, Jimmy then exhaled gently. "I can't find anything substantial."

Stanley frowned, "You couldn't track him down?"

"It's a little troublesome." Jimmy narrowed his eyes slightly at the smoke. "That Wells is smart. He would never talk for more than three minutes with Rebecca on the phone. And all the calls he made were encrypted. So it's hard to track him down."

Hearing that, Stanley lowered his eyes and said, "Hmm."

Jimmy glanced at him. "So, what made you suspect Rebecca?"

Though he had asked this question at the beginning, he never got an answer.

"By accident."

"What kind of accident?"

"The place where she is currently staying was arranged by me. Afraid that she would be in danger if she stayed alone, so I installed a surveillance camera," Stanley narrowed his eyes, and flicked the cigarette ash between his fingers. "The surveillance showed that she would often get up at midnight to make a phone call. Following that, I kept an eye on her and installed a listening bug in her room."

After hearing that, Jimmy took a drag of his cigarette. He could feel the nicotine flowing from his lungs into his body. "Then, how did Rebecca get on with Harvey?"

Pursing the corners of his lips, Stanley's eyes were cold.

After not seeing each other for seven years, everything had changed. It was just how the human heart worked.

The cigarette in his hand became distorted, and Stanley's angular face was cold as ice.

Certainly, he could accept that Rebecca was together with Liam, but the fact that she was only getting close to him with an ulterior motive was unacceptable.

Then, Jimmy raised his hand, and patted him on the shoulder. "You've done the right thing. It's right not to make it clear to her. It's definitely better to keep this a secret. Only then, we'll be able to track down and ambush Harvey!"

As Stanley looked down, the cold light was shining on his deep and pronounced facial features.

Putting out the cigarette butt, Jimmy said, "You should continue contacting Rebecca. If we make any progress here, we'll inform you straight away."

Giving him a light nod, Stanley said, "Remember to keep your mouth shut, and don't tell anyone about this. Most importantly, keep it from Ariah."

"I understand."

"It's just that..."

Raising his eyebrows, Jimmy asked, "What's wrong? Anything else that's troubling you?"

Pinching his brows. Stanley pointed at the room saying, "Sharon suspects that Rebecca's motive for returning was not pure."

"How did she know?"

"She's quite keen. Therefore, she might have noticed something."

"Damn it, your woman won't screw things up, right?"

Sweeping a glance at him, Stanley said, "What can she do to screw things up?"

"You do know the relationship between her and Rebecca? They were love rivals, what good would come out of this? " Jimmy shook his head. "One day, they will surely end up in a fight."

"Before you worry about me, you should take care of yourself first." Stanley looked at him coldly. "You're getting bolder by the day, aren't you? Openly bringing your affairs around?"

Hearing what Stanley said, Jimmy hesitated for a moment. "You... You saw me that day?"

"I'm not blind."

"I can explain."

"What's the point of explaining it to me? You should confess to Ariah."

Jimmy pursed his lips and said, "I have no intention of letting Ariah know about this."
