Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 389

Time was like a huge knife that had cut off all the clues, so Sharon had no choice but to speak her thoughts.

After that, Loria, who was sitting opposite her, asked with a pale face, "M-Miss Cruz, why do you think so?"

However, Sharon pursed her lips and answered, "I know I have no evidence to prove what I've just said, but I'll try my best to find clues and evidence to seek justice for your mother."

After Sharon explained herself, Loria remained silent for a long time while her lips trembled slightly. There were several times when she looked at Sharon and wanted to speak but stopped on second thought.

Although Sharon felt a little strange, she didn't ask any more questions. Before she left, she took out an envelope from her bag and said, "This is a little token of my gratitude. I hope you can accept it, Loria."

With just one look, Loria knew that there was money in the envelope, and it seemed to be a big amount.

"Miss Cruz, I can't accept this money!" Immediately, Loria refused. "I am already very grateful that you came to visit my mother, even though we are unrelated. I will feel uncomfortable if I were to accept your money."

On the first day when Sharon came over, she already had the idea of giving them the money. It was just that they were not familiar with each other at that time, so she was too embarrassed to pass it to her. So, no matter what Loria said today, Sharon would still leave the money for them.

After a long time, Loria still couldn't manage to refuse Sharon's kindness, so she accepted the envelope with teary eyes and repeatedly thanked Sharon.

At that moment, Sharon smiled. However, just as she was about to leave, Loria suddenly grabbed her hand and asked in confusion, "Miss Cruz, does the accident that happened to my mother have anything to do with you?"

That question left Sharon stupefied.

Instantly, Loria seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, so she immediately explained in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Miss Cruz. It was a mistake, and I don't mean anything else. I hope you don't take it to heart..."

On the other hand, Sharon understood why she had such skeptical thoughts. The fact that Loria's mother had met with an accident right after taking care of Sharon's father would very likely cause others to misunderstand.

After a moment of silence, Sharon asked, "Loria, when I first came to find you, were you so wary of me because you were afraid that I would hurt your mother?"

Embarrassed, Loria glanced at her and nodded.

Suddenly, something flashed across Sharon's mind, and she asked again, "Loria, does this mean that... you've suspected that what happened to your mother was not an accident?"

If she hadn't been suspicious, she wouldn't have been so wary of Sharon in the first place.

"Miss Cruz, I don't understand what you are talking about." Meanwhile, Loria's eyes flickered as if she didn't want to continue the conversation. "The matter has already happened, and I'm afraid that we can't find anything even if we investigate any further. Besides, I don't want to mention the past anymore."

Since Loria had said so, Sharon had no choice but to leave.

Over the next week, Sharon would visit them when she had the time. Occasionally, she would bring some fruits for them, and she would even ask Loria to let her help to wipe Hazel's body. Although Loria had repeatedly advised her not to do so, Sharon just smiled and answered, "Actually, I also have my own motives. Back then, when my father was lying in the hospital, I couldn't accompany him all day long because I had to go to school. This has always been something that I've regretted, so now that I have the chance to take care of Hazel, I'm glad I could help."

When Loria heard that answer, she could only sigh and not say anything.

Meanwhile, in the past few days, Ariah had been going to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Jimmy whenever she had the time as she was determined to get a divorce. However, there would somehow be a problem every time they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Due to this reason, every time she went there, the divorce procedures were never really handled properly.

In fact, Ariah became more hot-tempered as days went by. When she still couldn't get a divorce, she was completely furious when she left the Civil Affairs Bureau. "Jimmy, this must be your doing! I'm sure it's you! Why are you doing this?"
