Liam's eyes slowly narrowed as he sized her up. "Sharon, what's going on with you?"
It would be fine if he did not ask. Now that the question was out, Sharon completely exploded, "Your father killed my father, and I'm going to get justice for my father!"
Liam frowned. "What do you mean?"
She knew Liam would definitely not help her if she did not make herself clear, so she told him everything that had happened yesterday. And when he heard that, he widened his eyes, his face full of shock. Only after some time that he could digest what he had just heard.
Suddenly, Liam came to a realization. "So, that's why you came here. You didn't just come to see me. You wanted to provoke me so that I would be blinded by hate and stand on your side, am I right?"
Pressing the corners of her mouth together, Sharon remained silent.
Then Liam raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "Do you really have the guts to kill someone?"
"For my father's sake, I will do anything!"
"Have you not thought of calling the police after knowing your father was killed by them?"
Sharon stared straight at him. "Would it be useful?"
Liam looked back at her, and after some time, he shook his head. "No. Isai's power is so great that it's far from what you can even imagine. Even if you expose this matter to the highest authority, he would not be harmed in the slightest. In fact, in the end, your life might even be in danger. Likely, even Stanley won't be able to protect you. Sharon, listen to my advice. I'm not lying to you, nor am I trying to coax you. I'm just thinking for you from the perspective of a friend. As for your father's matter, other than submitting to your fate, you can only accept it."
As far as Isai could stretch out his hand, that was how much power he could hold. Outsiders would not know, but anyone who had a bit of power and fame knew that the Jones Family was not someone they could afford to provoke. Most importantly, no one could afford to offend Isai Jones.
"I won't submit to fate!" Sharon glared at Liam with red eyes. "What about your Mom? Why don't you accept your fate then?"
At once, Liam was at a loss for words.
With that, Sharon's tears suddenly fell. She tightly grabbed Liam's hand. "I'm begging you. Help me, please. Other than you, I can't find anyone else who can help me with this. Liam, as long as you promise me this, I'll do anything you want."
"Including divorcing Stanley to be with me?" Liam looked at her meaningfully.
Sharon was stupefied, and she stared at him in shock.
Liam curled his lips. "If you don't want to..."
"I'm willing!" Sharon interrupted him and nodded. "I'm willing!"
Liam laughed, "Truly, this is getting more and more interesting. Oh, I wonder if Stanley would go mad if he knew that you're willing to be with me! For all these years, I've never seen him go crazy. Sharon, I admire you more and more. For the sake of forcing Stanley to the verge of madness, you can be considered as the first woman to do so."
Sharon's eyelashes drooped as she asked him in a trembling voice, "In that case, does that mean you've agreed to help me?"
"I can help you, but I need to say this clearly in advance."
Hearing that, Sharon raised her head, and her eyes were sparkling. "What? Just say it!"
"I can help you get what you want, and I can even take you to the Jones Family. But Sharon, you need to know clearly how many bodyguards there are protecting Isai Jones. There's a chance of you getting shot by his loyal bodyguard before you can even get close to him!"
"I'm not afraid of dying!"
"Alright!" Liam laughed. "With these words of yours, there's nothing left for me to object to."
"What are you guys talking about?"
Suddenly, a gloomy and cold voice came from behind Sharon, which caused her body to stiffen subconsciously.
Liam raised his head and looked over. Arching his brows, he looked at Sharon. "Looks like we're going to end our conversation here. Call me when you've thought it through."
As he spoke, Liam stood up. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, something occurred to him. He bent down to look at Sharon and lowered his voice, saying, "My future Mrs. Frazier, I'm leaving now. Aren't you going to hug me?"
The moment Sharon raised her eyes, a black shadow flashed past her, and the sound of a fist smashing down something could be heard. Liam let out a muffled groan as he retreated.
Stanley looked at him coldly, "Get lost!"
While rubbing his bloody nose, Liam laughed, "Why are you so late? We've already finished what we've wanted to say. Do you want to know what I told her?"
Sharon raised his head in shock. She could not believe that Liam would betray her so quickly.
It was as if Liam did not see the warning look in her eyes. With a faint smile on his face, he looked at Stanley, "Just ask me whenever you want to know, I can tell you anytime."
Stanley opened his thin lips and spat out a few words, "What did she say to you?"
"Hahaha!" Liam laughed out loud. "Stanley, I can't believe you're begging me? Wow! This feels amazing! I can tell you, but you need to give me something in exchange."
Liam's gaze was burning. "I've been thinking about your company for a long time. If I want your company in exchange for Sharon's words, will you be able to do it?"
Hearing that, Stanley pressed his lips together, and the look on his face was as sharp as a blade.
Hearing no response, Liam curled his lips and said, "Well, it makes sense that you don't agree. How can a few words be equal to a business empire? Even if you love Sharon, you can't use a large company as an exchange, can you? So, you can't blame me for not telling you what Sharon told me, right?"
After Liam finished speaking, he turned around and left with a smirk on his face.
Stanley's expression was horrifying. He turned around and stared at Sharon fiercely. Then, he pulled her up from her chair and asked in a cold and stern voice, "Why did you meet him?"
Suddenly, Sharon threw herself into his arms and held his waist tightly, "Honey, I want to go home!"
Stunned, Stanley thought to himself, "What was she doing? Moments ago, she has vowed to divorce him, but now she turned into a clingy kitten?" No matter how smart Stanley was, he could not figure out what Sharon was thinking at this time.
"Sharon, what exactly did you talk to Liam about?" He did not fall for her trap and continued to ask with a cold expression on his face.
However, Sharon only nudged his chest. "I'm so tired, and sleepy. I want to go home. Can you take me home, honey? Please?"
Now that he saw the way she lowered her voice and begged him, what else could Stanley say? His entire heart softened like jelly. So how could he say no?
"Okay." Stanley's deep gaze was fixed on her face. "Sharon, if you want me to do anything, I can follow your orders, as long as you don't divorce me, okay?"
"Okay." Sharon nodded her head and gave a vague reply. "I want to rest now. I want to go home and eat. I'm so hungry."
A faint smile finally appeared on Stanley's face. "Serves you right for not eating breakfast."
As he spoke, he took her hand and was about to leave. Sharon had just taken two steps when she felt a little dizzy. Stanley nervously looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm fine. Maybe it's because I haven't eaten, so I'm a little dizzy."
Stanley pursed his lips. Without demur, he directly lifted her.
People were coming and going in the mall, and his action was undoubtedly eyecatching. At first, Sharon blushed and wanted to get down, but Stanley held her tightly. "Don't move."
In the end, Sharon gave in and stopped struggling. She let him do whatever he pleases. Seeing how Stanley cherished her so much, she thought to herself that this might be the last time. The last time he hugged her so intimately.
In the future, there might not be a chance to meet him again, and also the baby in her belly... She reached out and touched her belly. "Baby, I'm sorry. You and I have no fate. It's possible that before you even get to look at this world, and..."
As she thought of this, Sharon's heart began to throb.
Stanley noticed her trembling body. As they reached the car, he carried her into the car. Panicking, he asked, "Why are you crying?"
Sharon buried her face in his chest, and her tears were drenching his shirt. She shook her head, "No... nothing, I'm just... I'm fine..."
As she was sobbing, her words were intermittent. He could not understand what she was saying. No matter how Stanley coaxed her, her tears continued to fall. So much so that when they reached home, she was still weeping in his embrace.
Finally, after he had brought her back to the bedroom, he put her down on the bed and coaxed her in a soft voice. Slowly, Sharon's sobs stopped.
Stanley waited for her to calm down. After a while, when he looked down at her again, a smile appeared on his face.
She actually fell asleep crying.
It was probably because she was exhausted. For the past two days, she had suffered so much, which made him feel uncomfortable.
As he looked at her, his heart ached with pity. Then he lowered his head to kiss her. On her face, on her lips, and her earlobe, he kissed her carefully. Only then did satisfaction fill his heart.
For the past few days, he thought he was going to lose her. So, he could not sleep for the whole night. Now she had returned to his arms and clung to him like before. Thinking about this, he gradually grew at ease.
Once his nerves relaxed, exhaustion swept over him. Stanley closed his eyes, and his drowsiness arose.
Suddenly, he shivered and opened his eyes. There was no one in his arms. He turned his head and found that he had already slept for half an hour.
Where was Sharon?
