Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 73

In another hospital.

Upon hearing the lawyer's remarks, Jewel was so angry that she directly grabbed the glass from the bedside table and threw it at him. "What do you mean that you don't handle this case anymore? Why the women who were locked up in the police station have been released? Aren't you a lawyer? Didn't Stanley ask you to take full charge of this case?"

Last night, Stanley said to her tenderly that he would avenge her and made the culprits pay for what they did, but why did all of this suddenly change today?"

The glass that Jewel hurled directly smashed the lawyer's forehead, blood oozing from the wound. "Miss Russell, I don't know why. A few hours ago, Mr. Charles fired me personally..."

"Useless!" The more Jewel thought about it, the angrier she became. "Get out!"

The lawyer covered the wound on his forehead and went out.

But as soon as the door of the ward was opened, the lawyer was stunned.

There was a tall and straight man standing outside the door. When the lawyer saw the man's appearance clearly, he broke out in a cold sweat. "M-Mr. Jones?"

It was Stanley Jones!

Stanley smiled faintly. "As an employee of Jones Group, why are you here?"

The lawyer's face was pale and he couldn't say a word.

"Well, it seems like sacking you wasn't a wrong decision after all. You take the salary from me but you delivered messages to an outsider behind my back, huh?"

The lawyer explained, stuttering, "M- Miss Russell is not an outsider. She is the victim of this incident, I... I..."

"So you came here to provide her with information?"

"Mr. Jones, I..."

Stanley's gazes were so cold and sharp that the lawyer didn't dare to look into his eyes. He lowered his head nervously, his heart beating fast.

After a while, Stanley said slowly, "Wait here. Don't go."

The lawyer immediately nodded. "Yes!"

In the ward.

Jewel couldn't see what was going on outside, but she vaguely heard some voices. She thought that the people in the hospital were having a conversation in the corridor, so she frowned and felt unhappy.

The door was suddenly opened from the outside, and a man steady footsteps came in.

Jewel looked up and was surprised. "Stanley?"

Stanley came to the hospital bed and looked at her for a moment, then he smiled and said, "You look good. It seems that you have a good rest."

"Stanley, why are you here?" Jewel said as she lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.

"Didn't you call me a few times in the morning and ask me to come and visit you?"

"Ah, yes, l-l forgot."

Jewel was on pins and needles. Stanley's eyes were as deep as the sea that she couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a moment.

Stanley hooked the chair with his long leg and sat on it. Then, he raised his eyes and asked directly, "Was Sharon Cruz the one who hurt you?"

Jewel was taken aback. "You didn't know?"

"I didn't know about it until today."

Thinking of what the lawyer just said, Jewel panicked and couldn't help but make wild guesses. What did he mean by he didn't know about it until today? He didn't know it was Sharon yesterday, so he decided to teach the culprit who harmed her a lesson, but now that he knew it was Sharon, he changed his mind all of a sudden. Was that so?

"Did you go to meet her personally behind my back?"

His voice sounded again, with a little coldness and a questioning tone.

Jewel immediately said, "You don't like me to meet her? Okay, I won't see her again."

Stanley narrowed his eyes. "Do you know what kind of relationship I have with her?"

Jewel trembled in fear as his words sent a chill down her spine. Having been through the treacherous battlefield and the business world, Stanley's eyes were as sharp as a dagger as if they could penetrate a person's heart and mind in no time.

"I..." Licking her lips, Jewel gradually calmed down under the immense pressure and said, "I only know that you two are close and you let her live in your villa."

Stanley's expression grew colder and colder. "Did you investigate me behind my back?"

Jewel explained hurriedly, "Because you were treating me coldly this year. I thought that you had another woman outside. I was upset and jealous, so I had someone to investigate you, and I found out about you and Sharon..."
