Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 74

Jewel said slowly, "Sharon promised me that she would leave you and accepted my cheque."

Stanley tilted his head. With the backlight behind him, his face was vaguely visible in the slowly darkening night. He seemed to be unable to digest it as asked with a significantly louder voice, "Did she accept the money you gave?"

Jewel nodded. "She asked for ten million."

Stanley pursed his lips and there was a look of unpleasantness in his eyes.

How dare Sharon said such a thing?

"I know you won't believe what I said, but I have evidence!" Jewel quickly took out her mobile phone from her bag and played the recorded audio file to him.

Sharon's soft voice came from the phone and echoed into Stanley's ears.

"... Don't worry. I'll leave him and I won't pester him."

"... Miss Russell, you misunderstood. I don't want one million, but ten million."

"...I'll accept it then. Thank you for your generosity, Miss Russell."

"... That kind of man doesn't deserve my love. And Jewel, I advise you, he is not your Mr. Right. If he can hook up with me today, he will hook up with another woman tomorrow. Don't waste your love."

The recording was full of Sharon's voice. Every word she said revealed her greed and snobbishness.

Stanley's eyes were eerily cold, blue veins popping out on his forehead, and his knuckles that were holding the steering wheel turning white.

Ten million?

Was that all he was worth?

Sharon was really stupid. His net worth was enough for her to spend several lifetimes but she accepted only ten million from Jewel!

He was very furious. Stanley stepped on the accelerator and sped off toward Sharon's hospital with surging anger!

He drove so fast that Jewel screamed in horror.

At the ward of the hospital.

The nurse helped Melody change the dressing and instructed several reminders that she wanted her to pay attention to.

As soon as the nurse went out, Melody asked, "Why didn't I see Mr. Jones when I came back?"

Sharon rolled her eyes and thought of what happened an hour ago. "I pissed him off and he went out."

"What did you do?"

"What did I do? I didn't do anything. I should ask you what had you done?" Sharon glared at her. "You looked at my phone while I was asleep!"

Melody stuck out her tongue mischievously. "I was bored. You were sleeping like a log, and Stanley didn't leave. It was very awkward, so I betrayed you and told him something he was interested in."

Sharon snorted and said, "You should be fortunate that you're cute. Okay, I'll be a bigger person and forgive you."

Melody said, "You're the best!"

"Of course I am!"

"How did you piss Stanley off?"

Sharon sighed at this point. She almost spilled the beans in front of Stanley, so she kept on changing the subject and avoiding telling the truth entirely. His patience was wearing thin and then he left with a gloomy expression.

Sharon was not stupid. She couldn't tell him that she would divorce him a year later!

He would be so pissed if he knew about her little scheme.

She could not bear the consequences of his anger.

Just as she was thinking, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.

Sharon looked back and was startled to see the man who came in.

It was Stanley Jones.

Why did he come back?

Didn't he just leave, grumpy and pissed?

Sharon opened her mouth and was about to speak when someone suddenly appeared beside Stanley.

It was Jewel Russell!

Sharon's eyes widened in disbelief. Was it an illusion?
