In the ward, Sharon just applied the ointment to her wound when there was a knock on the door.
Sharon opened the door and found it was Anthony.
"Madam, the boss is waiting outside and he asked me to pick you up to go home," Anthony said.
Sharon nodded. "Okay."
It was useless for her to be here since her father had stabilized, so she could only leave with them.
They walked out in silence. Curiosity killed a cat. When she thought of Dr. Perkins's words, she couldn't hold back her skepticism and blurted, "Anthony, I want to ask you something."
"Please ask away, Madam."
"What's the nature of the relationship between Jewel and your boss?"
Howard said that if a man loved a woman, he would not hurt her. Sharon thought about it and realized that it made sense.
If Stanley loved Jewel, why did he marry her and make Jewel sad?
That was why she asked this question.
Anthony's eyes darted around uneasily. "Why do you suddenly want to know this?"
"I'm just asking."
"This is Boss' personal affair and I have no place to poke my nose into it. Please don't make things difficult for me, Madam." Anthony was not foolish enough to get involved in their business.
This cunning man!
"You have been working for your boss for so many years. Don't you know what relationship he has with Jewel? Anthony, do you think I am not the favored one, so you don't take me seriously?"
Sharon began to put up a pitiful role.
Anthony was speechless.
"Madam, if you are not important, will the boss personally handle the Casey Family? Will he also help you to teach Evonne and Cecilia a lesson and lose his demeanor?" Anthony shouted inside him that he dared not say out loud.
"Madam..." he muttered, feeling awkward.
"Just tell me, is Jewel important to your boss? This is a simple question."
On the contrary, Anthony was curious. "Madam, why do you suddenly care so much about the relationship between Jewel and boss?"
"If she is important to Stanley, I'll try to avoid meeting her in the future in case of unpleasantness. Am I right?" Sharon had already thought of a way to deal with the question.
Anthony thought about it and agreed with her comment. After a long while, he said truthfully, "Russell is quite important in boss' heart."
Jensen was Stanley's comrade-in-arms who died on the front line when they were on a mission together. At that time, as their captain, Stanley had been blaming himself for not protecting his comrade well at that time.
Therefore, in the past few years, he had compensated Jewel with all the guilt he had for Jensen.
Sharon had expected to hear such an answer, but she still felt uncomfortable after hearing it.
She felt suffocated as if there was something stuck in her heart, tearing her inner organs.
Anthony cautiously said when he saw Sharon's grimace, "Madam?"
Sharon came to her senses, took a deep breath and smiled at him. "Let's go. Don't let him wait too long."
Stanley was waiting impatiently in the elevator lobby, frowning and looking very unhappy.
As soon as he saw Sharon and Anthony, his face darkened. "What took you so long?"
"Tsk, he's really bad- tempered." Sharon squinted at him and thought.
Instead, she curled her lips and said, "We need time to walk here. We walked as fast as we can."
Stanley narrowed his eyes and thought, "She is getting better and better at talking back to me!"
With a "ding", the elevator door opened and someone came out from inside. The person was dressed in professional attire, stepping on high heels, and her figure was graceful and charming.
"Stanley?"
Ariah was stunned. She didn't expect to meet him here.
Stanley frowned. "Why are you here?"
Ariah came to him and wrapped her arm around his gracefully. "I haven't asked you yet. Why are you here?"
Sharon glanced at their intertwined arms and snorted in her heart, "This guy is a big jerk. It's not enough for him to have Jewel, but he wants to hook up with another beautiful woman."
She was too aggrieved to be Mrs. Jones.
Looking at Ariah's hand, Stanley said flatly, "Take your hand away."
