"You can try telling her. I won't stop you, but Shawn, have you thought about the consequences?" Stanley retracted his cold gaze and said.
Shawn narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
"My biggest fear is that Sharon would know about my initial purpose in marrying her. That's my only weakness. If you removed this weakness of mine, my biggest fear would be gone. And what do you think I'd do then? You should know that once a person loses their biggest fear, they can do terrible, terrible things." Stanley's expression was indifferent. "Shawn, you don't know what dreadful things I'm capable of doing."
This was a warning from Stanley. It was impossible that Shawn did not understand. With that, he held his phone tightly, and the veins on his forehead exploded. "So, are you planning to end it all with me? No matter what, you won't divorce her?"
"I will never divorce Sharon in my life."
Although Stanley's tone was light, it was a tone that could not be easily swayed.
Shawn's face was gloomy. "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Sharon right now?"
With a scoff, Stanley hung up the phone without saying anything.
Hearing the beeping sound from the other end of the line, Shawn angrily tossed his phone. Just then, his assistant, who was sending in a document, saw him losing his temper. Shocked, he called out, "Mr... Mr. Lewis?"
The expression on Shawn's face was unstable, and his chest was heaving. Fine! "This is how you want to do it, huh? I'll play along with your little games, Stanley Jones!"
After a long while, Shawn got up and picked up his phone. The screen was broken into pieces, but it was still useable. Then, he searched for Sharon's number and dialed it.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is busy. Please..."
The phone dialed through, but no one answered.
Without giving up, Shawn continued calling. But still, no one answered.
This time, he calmed down and thought about it carefully. Sharon not answering his call was probably Stanley's arrangement. When he coldly snorted, he suddenly thought of a person. After a moment of consideration, he gestured for his assistant. "Put the stuff down, and go out first."
Immediately, the assistant leave the files before slipping off.
Shawn was searching for a number through the broken screen, and there was a trace of struggle in his eyes. In the end, thinking of Sharon, he did not hesitate and called the number directly.
Soon, the phone was connected. Then, a hoary voice answered, "Hello. Who's this?"
"Mr. Tillman," Shawn smiled, "Is Mr. Isai Jones there? I have something to talk to him about."
The person on the other end paused for a while before asking, "Sir, may I know who am I speaking to?"
"My surname is Lewis, and I visited him last time, but he was busy, and I didn't get to see him yet." Shawn did not waste time and said directly, "I want to meet Mister Jones because I need to talk to him about Mrs. Ember Jones's condition. I know a way to cure her. So do help me pass this message to him."
Again, Oscar was silent for a very long time before he sounded, "Mr. Lewis, right? Could you hold on for a moment? I'll go report it."
A smile slowly rose on Shawn's face. "It's no trouble at all. Please go ahead."
In the Jones Group.
