"Anthony Charles, do you have the guts to not answer my call for the rest of your life?"
"Tell Stanley never to come back!"
"Where are you guys?"
Each of the three texts was seriously read by Stanley. With that, he could imagine the angry look on her face when she sent those messages.
Thinking of her expression, he felt extremely tender in his heart.
Sharon was really like a kitten who easily gets fussy.
"Since she was not able to contact us for a few days. She must be worried." Anthony sighed. "Before you came, you should have called Mrs. Jones."
Turning off the phone, Stanley threw it aside. Flustered, he suddenly asked, "Do you have any cigarettes on you?"
"What?"
"Cigarette!"
"Yes."
"Give it to me."
Immediately, Anthony took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. Stanley reached out his long fingers to pull out the snow-white cigarette. He lit it with a lighter and took a deep breath. His deep facial features were half-lit in the dark.
"Before I came, I also wanted to call her, but my heart was in a mess, so I did not know what to say." Stanley tugged the corner of his mouth, and there was a bitter smile on his lips. "If she knew that Rebecca had my son, she will definitely break down."
Afraid that she could not accept it, Stanley did not know how to tell her, so he had to hide it.
While he always had a powerful, brave heart, but when it came to this matter, he was timid. He had retreated.
Scare to tell her the truth, Stanley was afraid that she would not be able to take it.
Not to mention her, even when he first heard Rebecca say that he had a son, he was so shocked that he could not react for a long time.
On the other hand, Sharon was weaker than him to begin with.
If he let her know, he could not imagine what kind of reaction she would have.
Seeing that he was irritated, Anthony pursed his lips. Then, he lit up a cigarette, and smoked with him. "Boss, the fact that Miss Lambert has a child, you can always keep it a secret from Mrs. Jones"
Frowning, Stanley then raised his head. "What do you mean?"
"Since you're afraid that Mrs. Jones can't handle it, you should just hide it. Boss, you could give the amount of alimony that should be paid. Then, arrange a good house for them, and occasionally pay them a visit."
The proposal that Anthony made was what many rich people would do, if they had an illegitimate child.
Hearing that, Stanley's brows furrowed, his thin lips pursed into a line.
"I know that this plan might make Mrs. Jones a little wronged, but if the truth is revealed and she can't accept it, then the truth should be hidden forever."
Raising his hand, Stanley pinched his eyebrows. "Well, let's talk about this later. You should get everyone ready. When we meet Harvey tomorrow, restrain him, and don't let him escape again."
"Understood!"
The doorbell rang at that moment. Anthony went to open the door. "Mr. King, have you fully rested?"
It was Jackson outside the door.
"I've rested for a few hours now, It's enough." Jackson came in and saw Stanley smoking at the bedside. "Jimmy told me that you're going to quit smoking. Why are you smoking again?"
Stunned for a moment, Stanley then said with a smile, "I forgot."
