Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 280

There was no hint of hesitation when Stanley signed the documents.

As Liam watched from the side, his mouth was pressed into a straight line.

After Stanley was done signing, he threw the pen and said word by word, "Where is Sharon?"

"Stanley, why didn't you hesitate to sign these contracts?" Liam needed to know as he found it unbelievable. He even suspected that there was a loophole in these contracts. However, when he picked up the documents and flipped through them carefully, there was nothing wrong with the contract.

"As long as I can find Sharon, I don't mind giving all these to you." Stanley looked at him expressionlessly. "For me, these worldly possessions can't be compared to Sharon," Towards the end of his words, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes. "Also, since I could build up Jones Group seven years ago, do you think I can't start a bigger company now?"

If he lost money, he could earn it back. Similarly, if he lost the company, he could start a new one. However, there was only one Sharon.

Finally, Liam understood why Stanley willingly gave up all of this. Stanley was far too confident, so confident that even if he had nothing left, he could still start from scratch and rebuild a second business empire of his own.

And he, Stanley, did have the potential to do so.

Seven years ago, he turned himself from a soldier into a businessman. In just a few years, he successfully built up a small startup into the largest company in Beachmarsh City. Everyone was in awe of him, as no one had the ability to do so.

Even though Liam hated Stanley passionately, in this aspect, he was still convinced by him.

While Liam was lost in his own thoughts, Stanley was running out of patience. "Where's Sharon?!"

After Liam signed all the contracts, he smiled and slowly said, "Do you know why she came to look for me yesterday?"

"Just say it!"

"She wants to take revenge."

"Liam Frazier! I swear to god that if anything happens to Sharon, you'll definitely die in my hands!" Stanley's face was ashen as he roared angrily, "Don't you know who Isai Jones is? Do you really think that Sharon is capable of seeking revenge from him? You're purposely trying to kill her, aren't you?"

"Ahem." Liam cleared his throat. "Well, you didn't see how pitiful she looked when she begged me. I couldn't refuse, so..."

In the next second, Stanley's fist landed on Liam's nose. With that, Liam covered his nose and took a few steps back, cursing in a low voice, "F*ck, again?!"

Yesterday, he had already been punched by him, and it hurt the whole night. Today, he punched him again? Fine, he would endure it! Given the fact that he gave up Jones Group to him without a frown, so this time, he would f*cking tolerate him.

"Exactly where is she?" Stanley's gaze looked as if they were about to devour someone.

Wiping away the blood from his nose, Liam snorted. "I got her a gun and told her about Isai's schedule for today. She's probably on her way there!"

"You even gave her a f*cking gun?" Stanley staggered when he heard that. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was about to kill Liam. "Don't tell me you're not aware of the type of people around Isai? Telling her about his schedule? Are you not just sending her into a trap? Liam, you'd better pray Sharon will be fine, or else you'll be the first one to die with her!"

With an extremely cold and sinister voice, Stanley threatened. Then, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Liam felt a sense of guilt. Looking at Stanley's leaving figure, he shouted, "This morning, Isai will be at the hospital for half the day with your mother. In the afternoon, he'll go to the next city for a meeting. If my calculations are accurate, Sharon is probably at the hospital..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Stanley slammed the door shut and left without looking back.

In the office, Liam retracted his gaze and slowly stared at the contracts. After a long while, he muttered to himself, "This guy is really deep in love. He's even willing to abandon what everyone thought was a prize possession. How ruthless..."

Perhaps it was because of this ruthlessness that Stanley was able to stand at the pinnacle of the golden tower in just a few years.

In the VIP ward of a private hospital, Isai was sitting on a chair, looking through the documents that were needed for tonight. At the same time, the doctor was redressing Ember's wound. When he was done, he said, "Mr. Jones, if nothing goes wrong, Lady Ember will wake up anytime soon. Just a reminder. Her body will be weak after the surgery. It's very normal, so don't worry about it."

With a nod, Isai replied indifferently.

As soon as the doctor went out, Ember, who was on the bed, reacted. First, her fingers moved. Slowly, she opened her eyes.

"You're awake?" Isai put down the document in his hand and looked up.

Ember's thoughts slowly returned to her. She remembered when she was in the hospital, and Isai appeared out of nowhere. He asked someone to take her away, and it was useless for her to resist. Later, she was sent directly to the operating room. Following that, she was given a shot of an anesthetic. Now that she was awake, she was on the hospital bed again.

Staring straight at Isai, who was sitting by the side, Ember asked, "What did you do to me?"

With a smile, Isai said, "I'm helping you to relive a second time so that you can stay in this world for a few more years. Shouldn't you be grateful to me?"

A horrible thought rose in Ember's mind, and her brain almost exploded. She asked in a trembling voice, "What on earth did you do?"

"Don't be so agitated. The doctor advised that you should have a good rest after you wake up." Isai pulled up her blanket. "It won't take long for you to feel like a newborn. Your body will get better day by day."

"Isai Jones!" Ember used all her strength to shout out his name. "What exactly did you do? What did you do to Sharon's father?"

"Well, you're not dumb. You've guessed it so quickly. It's his honor to be able to use his organ for you. Don't get angry over such a useless person. Otherwise, I'll feel like I saved you for nothing."

Looking at Isai, who was in front of her, Ember felt her entire body turned cold. It was as if she was looking at a devil. "You... you killed Sharon's father?"

With a sneer, Isai laughed, "You mean the man who should have died two years ago? It was kind enough of me to let him live for another two years."

Back then, if it wasn't for the fact that Stanley had tried his best to stop him, he would've used another method to kill Sharon's father during the car accident. He allowed the guy to live for two more years. He had done his utmost best.

"Isai Jones, you will go to hell!" Ember reached out to grab him, but there was no strength in her body. Now that she had exerted too much force, the tendons and vessels on her neck bulge. While the way she looked at him was as if he was an evil spirit, she said, "You killed him, and I will make you pay the price!"

Isai looked at her as if he was looking at an ant. "Well now. How do you plan to make me pay the price? Do you want to call the cops? Do you need me to call them for you?"

Ember stared at him. "Yes!"

With that, Isai burst out laughing. Then, he drew closer and said in a deep voice, "Ember, you've been by my side for decades. Don't tell me you still need me to explain the power I hold. In this world, powerful people can do anything they desire. I can even take down the lives of their entire family, much less just one life. Understand?"

Ember's birth name was Ember White, and Isai would only call her by this name when he was furious. Looking at him in horror, Ember yelled, "Isai Jones, it's murder!"

At this moment, Isai was too lazy to argue with her about this. "Have a good rest. I will have people take good care of you. Don't you dare think about ending your life, or else you'll be even sorry for that vegetative patient."

After finishing his last sentence, Isai stood up and left.

When Sharon arrived at the hospital, she was a step late. Pushing open the door of Ember's ward, she saw her lying on the edge of the bed with a painful look on her face. It seemed that she wanted to get out of bed. Reflexively, Sharon wanted to rush over to help her.

But she stopped abruptly at the thought of something.

With difficulty, Ember raised her head. When she saw Sharon, her lips trembled. "Sharon."

Looking at her coldly, Sharon asked, "Where's Isai Jones?"

Ember's gaze moved, "You... You've found out?"

"Yes! Where is Isai Jones?" Sharon could not act like how she was in the past. Seeing Ember, she could only think of her father, who died a terrible death. "Where is he?"

"What are you planning to do?"

"I'm going to kill him!"

"Sharon, don't go. Isai Jones is inhumane, and he's capable of doing anything. If you go to find him, you'll be the one who suffers. Good girl, please listen to me. Call Stanley, and he'll handle this..."

"So, he just left, didn't he?" Sharon understood the meaning in her words.

Hastily, Ember denied, "No, he was never here!"

Such a quick denial? He must have been here! Without stopping for a moment, Sharon turned around and left.

"Sharon, come back!" Ember was so worried that something might happen to her and she felt helpless. Even a small movement caused her agonizing pain. As a result, layers of sweat profused from her body. When she lowered her head, she could even smell the scent of her own blood.

Sharon walked out of the ward, but her mind kept flashing through Ember's painful expression. In the end, she could not bear it. With that, she pulled a random nurse and told her, "There seems to be something wrong with the patient in that ward. Please go and check."

After that, she strode away. While she was walking, she scolded herself for being useless as she was still not tough- hearted enough.

In an instant, she arrived at the underground parking lot. From afar, she could see Isai getting into the car while a few bodyguards escorted him. After that, Sharon chased the car all the way to the main street. Then, she stopped a taxi and pointed at the black SUV in front. "Sir, please follow that car!"

Glancing at her, the taxi driver thought for a moment, then stepped on the accelerator and chased after the car.

Inside the black SUV, the driver looked in the rearview mirror several times before he frowned and said, "Boss, there's a taxi tailing us."

Upon hearing this, Isai looked up and turned his head to look back. "Are you sure?"

"I tested them. When I slowed down, the taxi slowed down as well. They had a chance to overtake us, but they didn't. They have been following us all the way."

Hearing that, Isai frowned. The bodyguard sitting next to him immediately became alert. "Find a crossroad and get off first. We're currently too exposed. It's not safe.

Upon the bodyguard's orders, the driver nodded and planned to act according to action. In the meantime, Isai Jones kept looking at the car behind him. Through the window, he saw the silhouette of the person in the taxi. Narrowing his eyes, Isai said,

"Slow down, let the car follow us."

Stunned, the driver was not sure what Isai meant. After giving it some thought, he followed his order and deliberately slowed down.

The taxi driver did not expect that the SUV would suddenly slow down. With that, his taxi abruptly went forward and almost surpassed the SUV. Fortunately, the taxi driver was able to stabilize the car's speed again.

"Miss, what are you actually doing? Who is the person in the car in front of us? Is it a good idea to keep this distance?" The driver began to complain.

However, Sharon remained silent. She tightly pressed her lips together and fixed her eyes on the car in front.

While in the SUV. Because the car slowed down just now and both cars were almost parallel to each other, Isai was able to see the person in the taxi clearly. As a result, his face darkened, and he ordered, "Stop that taxi."

Both the driver and bodyguard were stunned. Isai was obviously angry. "Didn't you hear me?!"

The driver quickly nodded and said, "Yes!"

With a few moves, the driver forced the taxi to pull up on the side of the road.

At once, the two cars stopped, which caused the other drivers on the road to curse and shout. The taxi driver was dumbfounded and was clueless about what had happened.

At this time, the door of the SUV opened, and Isai got out of the car. Without thinking, Sharon pushed the door open and walked down. She hated Isai, who was in front of her. The hatred she had for him was intense.

"Well, It's really you." Isai frowned as he looked at her. "Stanley didn't watch after you? Why did he let you come here and mess around?"

Sharon coldly stared at him, "Isai Jones! You owe my father your life!"

"So you followed me here to avenge your father?"

"Yes!"

Isai felt like he had heard a joke, "Well, well, little girl, you're quite interesting. I didn't expect you to be so strong-willed. For that, I admire your courage, but I also think that you're very stupid!"

Isai's gaze became stern as he spoke, "I'll pretend that nothing happened today, and I'll let you go this time. If you leave now, I won't pursue this matter."

"I will never leave!" All of a sudden, Sharon took out a gun from her pocket and aimed it straight at him. "I'm going to kill you!"

All this time, the bodyguard had been paying attention to her movements. The moment she pulled out the gun, he quickly shielded in front of Isai to protect him. At the same time, he pointed his gun at Sharon. "I'll count to three. Put down the weapon in your hand, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
