However, Sharon stood frozen in a daze, and she forgot that she was drying her hair moments ago.
Meanwhile, Stanley seemed to have sensed something as he paused for a moment, then looked up at Sharon.
At that moment, Liam's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Stanley, in terms of methods, I'm still not as good as you. If your mother didn't kill my mother, I would have admired you as your little brother. In just ten days, you've managed to remove Shawn from such a high position. Your methods are a little too vicious..."
Expressionlessly, Stanley hung up the phone.
Then, he casually threw his phone onto the coffee table with his gaze still fixated on Sharen while he waved at her and said, "Come here."
However, Sharon stood frozen until Stanley sighed and pulled her to the couch to sit down that she gradually regained her senses.
As she had just taken a bath, there were still some droplets of water on her face that were yet to dry, and they were sticking to her milky white skin, so Stanley used his fingers to dry them. After a long while, he asked, "Did you hear me on the phone?"
With her gaze lowered, she nodded.
"How much did you hear?"
Then Sharon moved her lips and answered, "All."
After that, Stanley nodded and asked without any emotion, "What's your thought about it?"
Confused, Sharon looked up at Stanley's dark gaze, "The moment you heard what I said, were you worried about him, or do you think that I'm too cruel?"
Immediately, Sharon understood that he was upset.
Although he did not show any emotions on his face, there was a terrible storm brewing in his eyes could be found when she looked carefully.
At that moment, Sharon licked her lips and asked, "Do you really want to hear the truth?"
"What do you think?" With a sneer, Stanley threw the question back at her.
"The truth is that it would be impossible for me to not feel anything whenever I hear something like that."
The expression on Stanley's face was extremely dark.
A moment later, Sharon continued, "To be honest, although I am indeed a little worried about him, all of this was what he deserved. I believe in karma, and I believe that one cannot do too many bad things. Otherwise, one day that karma will come to the person. The current misfortune that he had is the result of his evil. So, Stanley, no matter what the outcome is, I'm just worried about him as a friend. The last bit of feelings I have for him is worried and nothing else."
"You're my family. No matter what you do, I will always be on your side." Then, Sharon raised her head and looked into his eyes. "I will support you."
As soon as she finished, Stanley looked at her silently for a long time without saying anything.
Only his pair of bright and burning eyes stared at her.
However, the way he stared at her made her hair stand on ends. "Can you at least give me a response?"
"Sharon." Suddenly, Stanley hugged her tightly and whispered, "I'm sorry."
That action of his left Sharon startled.
Sorry? What was he sorry about?
"I'm sorry for those things I've done to hurt you in the past. I'm sorry that I've lied to you. I'm also sorry that I've made you sad before, and I'm sorry for not understanding what love was."
The love Stanley had for Sharon came late because he didn't understand what love was in the past. Besides, he even did some nasty things that made her sad and disappointed, and he was sorry for all he had done.
But from now on, it won't happen again.
