Sharon smiled and said, "I took her cheque because I want to collect evidence."
Melody was stunned. "Evidence? What evidence?"
"To show the evidence to Stanley." Sharon put the cheque back into her pocket. "In the beginning, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and keep her away from me, I asked for ten million from Jewel. Never in my wildest dream did I imagine that she would come to me again and gave me ten million without hesitation."
Melody nodded. "So..."
"So I turned her trick to my own use. I took the cheque and planned to show it to Stanley and let him deal with Jewel."
She would pass the matters that she couldn't solve to Stanley for she was certain he could be able to handle it.
Stanley might not believe her if she simply said that Jewel wanted to bribe her to leave him, but now that she had the cheque, albeit it was only a value of a hundred thousand, he had to believe her.
Sharon wasn't sure if he would really come forward to warn Jewel.
Jewel was a public figure. If Sharon's simple hope was to live a peaceful life and keep herself away from Jewel, she could not do anything about Jewel, but Stanley could.
So this was the reason why she wanted to take the cheque.
Melody sighed and stroke Sharon's face gently. "Well done. This is what you should have done."
Sharon blinked. "But I got you into this mess. I didn't expect that Jewel would have such a vicious intention and brought me into the middle of nowhere... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been locked up and admitted to the hospital."
"Shush. Don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you!" Melody gritted her teeth. "It's all Jewel's fault. She looks so pure and naive on screen but in reality, she is so wicked!"
Although Melody said so, Sharon still felt uneasy.
After all, it all started because of her. If it weren't for her, these things wouldn't have happened.
Outside the ward.
After Stanley smoked two cigarettes, Anthony rushed to the hospital with the surveillance footage that he copied from the police station in his hand. "Boss, here is the footage you asked me to get."
More than half an hour ago, Stanley came out of the ward and called Anthony, ordering him to do this.
"I've downloaded the video to my phone. You can simply click play and watch it."
Anthony stepped aside.
Pursing his lips slightly and leaning his slender body against the wall, Stanley took the phone, clicked on the screen, and the video started playing.
In the video, Jewel pulled Sharon's hair, and Sharon had no choice but to raise her chin because of the agonizing pain. On the spur of the moment, Jewel raised her hand to slap Sharon's face again and again.
Although he couldn't hear any sound, it was a very shocking sight.
Sharon was beaten and fell to the ground, and the bodyguard subdued her petite body. Jewel was very arrogant and domineering that she began to beat and kick Sharon continuously.
Finally, Melody rushed down from the taxi, ran over to protect Sharon, and fought with Jewel. The bodyguard immediately stepped forward to grab Melody, to which she could not move, and Jewel, wearing high heels, kicked hard at Melody's stomach.
Seeing her friend being beaten, Sharon roared in fury, picked up a brick, and aimed it at Jewel...
Jewel's head was bleeding. She was so angry that she called the ambulance and the police right away.
In the end, Sharon and Melody were arrested and taken to the police car.
After watching the video, Stanley handed the mobile phone back to Anthony. He took it and waited for Stanley's next order.
Stanley's expression was extremely calm and aloof.
However, Anthony knew that he was now angry to the brim.
This was how Stanley was. The angrier he was, the more he didn't show it on his face.
