"Yes," Stanley answered faintly.
"I'm getting more confused about Liam. What on earth is he actually thinking?" Jimmy rubbed his chin. "If you say that he doesn't like Rebecca, but he also won't just stand by and do nothing. On the other hand, if you're saying that he likes her, yet again, anyone can tell that he doesn't seem to like Rebecca..."
Stanley ignored him.
Looking at Stanley again. "What about you? Are you really not in love with Rebecca anymore?"
"I never loved her."
"No way."
"We're here." At this time, Oscar said, pointing to a small shed not far away, "Miss Lambert is inside. There are two people watching over her. I was waiting for Mr. Isai Jones's order on how to deal with her."
With that, Jimmy raised his hand, and a small squad immediately went into the small shed.
Rooted to the spot without moving, Stanley did not go over. Suddenly he asked, "Seven years ago, Rebecca's death overseas, was it done by you as well?"
Since Oscar had accepted his fate, he nodded, "Yes."
"For this past seven years, she had been under your surveillance?"
Frowning, Oscar shook his head, "Of course not. Seven years ago, I sent Miss Lambert out of the country and gave her a large sum of money. Then, she was free to go. All I did was just preventing her from returning to this country, and not allowing her to find you."
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Stanley asked, "So, you haven't come into contact with her for the past seven years?"
"In the first half of the year, I was afraid that she would want to go back, so I kept a close eye on her. Later, I saw that she had accepted reality. She lived alone abroad, so I seldom contacted her."
Misunderstanding the meaning of Stanley's question, Oscar thought that he still held a grudge for the past seven years. He hurriedly said, "Please don't blame Mr. Isai Jones for doing this. He was only doing this for your sake. Miss Lambert's background isn't even worthy of the Jones Family."
Sneering, Stanley said, "It's not up to the two of you to decide whether she was worthy or not. It's up to me to decide."
"But you are the eldest son of the Jones Family!"
"Oscar, are you really confused, or are you pretending to be? After I had reached the age of 18, did I spend a penny from the Jones Family? Did I enjoy any treatment of being the eldest son of the Jones Family even for a day? Haven't you already noticed that for the past few years? Other than sharing the Jones Family surname, do I have anything related to them?" Stanley's voice was low. "I have already left the Jones Family. Next time, you should think twice before touching my people. Bear that in mind, and lastly, don't test my anger. Otherwise, as Liam said, I will not hold back as well."
Hearing that, Oscar's body shuddered. He looked at him in disbelief. His lips trembled, seemingly he wanted to say something, but in the end, he could not say a word.
"Do help me send these words to the old man, and without missing a word."
After that, Stanley strode away.
Oscar's face turned pale.
Before he got close, Jimmy's voice came from far away, "Stanley, come here quickly!"
There was anxiety in his voice. Stanley frowned and immediately went over. As soon as he approached, he heard Jimmy calling an ambulance.
"Rebecca committed suicide!"
Jimmy hung up the phone, and looked at the person behind him. "She had cut her wrist!"
With that, Stanley's expression changed.
When Liam heard the words from afar, his heart trembled. It was as if he had been severely hit by a hammer, and his mind was buzzing. His footsteps were heavy, like there was an iron ball dragging his feet. Step by step, he walked to the small shed and saw the woman lying on the ground. Seeing her white dress and black hair, as well as a pool of blood on her wrist like a blooming blood-red flower.
In the villa, Sharon sat on the sofa. After a while, she could not help but look outside. The entrance was as quiet, and there was no movement at all.
Stanley had not returned yet.
And the sky was getting darker by the minute.
The sentence that he had said before leaving was still ringing in Sharon's ears. Because of that, Sharon impatiently waited for him to return, as she wanted to tell him that she also loved him...
However, she had been waiting and waiting. After all this time, not only did he not return, but he did not even make a single call.
