Stanley was smoking quietly on the balcony. He seemed to be thinking about something and didn't notice Sharon, who looked at him for a while, then withdrew her gaze and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When she came out of the bathroom, he was still on the balcony, but he had stopped smoking. He was answering a phone call instead.
With his back to her, she heard him saying in a lowered tone, "After today's kidnapping, for the safety of my family, Isai can't live anymore. Since he was the one who did these unrighteous things first, I won't show him any more mercy!"
"In the past four years, he never found trouble with me, presumably because he thought that I wasn't a threat since I was away. However, he started to test me ever since I returned to Beachmarsh City... It was he who ordered the driver to hit Sharon the other day. And he probably planned the incident at the amusement park too. In short, I can't keep such a cold-blooded person alive as it can be a hidden danger..."
"Jimmy, I know you probably can't accept this as it goes against your morality, but that's what he forces me to do. If he didn't plan all these things, I might've let him live a little longer... Anyway, could you help me contact those who wanna take him down? After that, I'll take care of it. Oh, also, I think Sharon might find out about my recovery soon, and she'll probably get really angry. So, tomorrow I'll pretend to have a headache and go to the hospital, then tell her about my recovery. Do you think you could bring Ariah over? I was thinking maybe she could soothe Sharon..."
Suddenly, Stanley felt the hair on his back stand up. He slowly turned around and saw Sharon standing in the living room, looking at him in shock. Her face was full of disbelief.
Stanley cursed in a low voice.
Hearing that, Jimmy got a little grumpy. "Why are you cursing me?"
"No, I didn't curse you. Anyway, that's about it. You know what to do." Stanley said to Jimmy while his gaze fell on Sharon. After that, he hung up the phone and walked into the living room.
Sharon quickly warned, "Stop right there!"
However, he ignored her warning and continued to walk towards her. Seeing that, she immediately turned around and left, but he already strode over and wrapped his arms around her body, then pinned her against the wall, "Why are you running?"
Sharon struggled with all her might. "Stanley, let go of me!"
"Baby, you only been good for a few hours, and now, are you going to quarrel with me again?"
"Quarrel about what? I'm warning you. Let me go!"
"What if I don't?"
"You..."
Sharon shot him an angry look. Immediately, Stanley realized that she must have heard everything. Just now talking on the phone, he didn't even notice her standing behind him, because he trusted her and never put on his guards when she was around.
Stanley sighed, "I can explain."
"I don't want to hear that! You already lied to me!"
