Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 85

Sharon walked over to the manager with an expressionless face and a chilling glare. The manager was frightened by her appearance and couldn't help but take two steps back when she thought of the big shot supporting her. "W-What do you want?"

Sharon took the check from her hand and smiled sweetly. "Why are you sweating? You have come specially to send us the check. How can we let you come here in vain? I'll take the check. You can go now."

The manager was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she turned around and quickly left.

Sharon's gazes were really cold just now which scared her a little.

Melody was speechless. "Why did you take the check?"

"Why not? This is the reimbursement for your physical injury and mental torment. Why can't I take it?" Sharon looked at the check and found that there was really a lot of money, so she grinned in satisfaction. "Take it, and buy yourself something delicious."

Melody was not contrived. After thinking for a while, she took the check. "But then again, your cold face just now was really scary."

Upon hearing this, Sharon was stunned. "Was it?"

"Yes!"

"That means I'm really good at acting. I learned that move from Stanley. I just copied his expression and glares and I managed to scare the manager. Haha, I'm really a genius."

Melody glanced at her without a word.

"Did she say that I'm a mistress?"

Jewel gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and asked word by word.

The manager nodded hesitantly. "Don't be angry. They are talking nonsense. Please calm down. There is an event in the afternoon that you need to walk the catwalk. Don't be angry because of such a small matter. It's not worth it."

Was it not worth it? Jewel had never been bullied like this by a woman!

"I'm not going to the event. Cancel it!" Jewel kicked the manager out of the car. "I have something I need to take care of, so I'll be back later!" "Hey, we've signed the contract and received the payment. How can you not go... Hey!"

The car left like an arrow and soon disappeared, leaving only the manager stamping her feet indignantly and cursing.

Jewel went straight to Liam's place. She often came here and was very familiar with it, so the servants were very well-behaved when they saw her. They did not dare to stop her and directly let her in.

"Where is Mr. Frazier?" Jewel asked.

The servant answered, "He is on the second floor, meeting a guest."

Jewel nodded, indicating that she knew it, but she did not stop and went straight up.

The door of the study on the second floor was half-opened, and Jewel could hear the conversation coming from inside. There were Liam and another person's voices, which were very unfamiliar to Jewel as it was her first time hearing it.

"Harvey Wells, as I said, this is my private residence. You can't come without my permission!"

"I'm just here to have a look. Is the fearless Mr. Frazier afraid that others will know about our liaison?" Harvey laughed and said, "I'm not here to visit your house today. I just want to ask you, when are you going to make your move on Stanley?"

Frowning, Liam said, "Mind your own business!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. After all, you are brothers. You don't have the heart to make your move on him."

Harvey deliberately provoked him, "You took him as your brother, but he never did. His mother killed your mother, albeit indirectly, and he even snatched Rebecca, your beloved woman, from you..."

"Shut up!" Liam interrupted coldly. "Believe it or not, if you say one more word, I'll kill you!"

Harvey shrugged and said, "Of course I believe you. You are the second son of the Jones Family, and you have enormous power. For you, killing me is as easy as pinching an ant."

"Then stop pestering me. I'll make the move when the time comes."

He would never forget what the Jones Family had done to him and his mother for the rest of his life. He would seek revenge for as long as he lived.

One day, Stanley would die in his hands, and he would kill him with his own hands.

Harvey patted Liam who emitted a bloodthirsty aura and donned an ambiguous smile on his face. "I'm glad that you didn't forget these things. I'm just afraid that you would forget your initial motive since you've been too close to the woman named Sharon Cruz."

Outside the study, William's voice suddenly sounded, "Miss Russell, what are you doing here?"

The two men in the study exchanged looks. Liam frowned. A hint of malice flashed in Harvey's eyes. They walked toward the door together.

Jewel was so shocked by William's sudden appearance that her face went pale and her feet were weak. If she hadn't leaned against the wall, she would have fallen to the ground.

"M-Mr. Carney, why are you so quiet when you walk?" Jewel's mind was in a mess, and her voice was hoarse.

As his gaze swept over Jewel's shoulder, William looked behind her and said respectfully, "Young Master."

Jewel trembled and looked back. Liam stood quietly behind her, and there was another man beside him whose glances were terrifying that sent chills down her spine.

Liam said, "It's none of your business here. You are dismissed."

"Yes." William turned around and left.

Jewel's teeth trembled. "L-Liam?"

Liam managed a dazzling smile and said in a gentle voice, "When did you come?"

"I just arrived!" Jewel exclaimed, "I've only been here for a few seconds and Mr. Carney came over. He didn't even make a sound when he walked, which scared me..."

"What are you doing standing outside? Come in."

Liam stepped aside and let her in.
