Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 313

On the balcony, Stanley sensed something in the living room, so he hurriedly hung up the phone. Looking up, he met with Sharon's bright eyes.

He pursed his lips and came into the living room, walking toward her.

For some reason, Sharon subconsciously took a step back.

Sensing her retreat, Stanley continued to approach and eventually pulled her into his embrace. He then lifted her chin and looked into her panic-stricken eyes. "How much did you hear just now?"

Sharon replied nervously, "Not a word. Why? Were you on the phone?"

Stanley didn't believe her at all.

Though she was good at pretending.

Rolling his eyes, he said, "I know you heard it." Then, he pulled her to sit on the sofa. "Do you wanna know who I just called?"

Sharon nodded but then shook her head.

The current Stanley was quite scary, so she didn't want to know what was in his mind.

Back in Allgate City, Howard had told her that Stanley had saved the Warner family's business from the brink of insolvency in just a few years, so he must have some means and tricks.

Businessmen, especially the top ones, generally speaking, were quite shrewd and cunning. There must be some unknown side to their success.

Therefore, Stanley could have a dark side too.

Thinking about that, Sharon shook her head again. "Nah, I'm not interested in your business. I'm gonna sleep. Now, let go, or I'll throw you out."

She was just threatening him though. She wouldn't dare to throw him out.

However, Stanley didn't let go of her. Instead, he grabbed her even harder and said something that astonished her, "Do you really think that tonight's car accident was just the drunk driver's careless mistake?"

Sharon looked up blankly. "What do you mean?"

At that time, when the police came over, the drunk driver had come out of the car and cried regretfully, apologizing that he shouldn't have drunk alcohol. With a blurry mind, he pleaded with the police to forgive him and even acted aggressively in front of the public.

"Tsk, do you think there's such a coincidence in this world?" Stanley sneered, "When we were in the mall, we were followed by someone, and then coming out, there was a car accident."

Thinking back carefully, Sharon realized that what he said was very reasonable, and she immediately broke out in a cold sweat. "Do you think someone's trying to kill me?"

Stanley glanced at her. Although she still looked relatively calm, her little face was already pale, so he smiled and pinched her face. "Maybe, or perhaps I'm just overthinking. Anyway, don't worry too much."

Knowing that he was comforting her, Sharon tried to calm herself down since she wasn't hurt in the accident.

"Then what was the phone call just now about?" Sharon took the opportunity to ask.

Stanley shot her a glance. "Didn't you say you're not interested?"

Facing his retort, she was tongue-tied for a second.
