Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 850

Though Elaine didn't know where the breakfast came from, it was scrumptious!

While she was eating happily, Vincent suddenly scowled, "Why didn't you just rub your skin off?"

At first, she was too stunned to hear him clearly. "What did you say?"

Without an expression, he stared at her collar.

Soon, she came to her senses and quickly covered her neck with her hands, feeling flustered. "Eat your food! What are you looking at?"

"Am I filthy? Did you have to scrub off that hickey so hard?" Vincent spoke with a sullen look on his face. "You didn't feel disgusted when Howard kissed you, did you?"

Not expecting him to bring that up, she was speechless for a second.

Seeing her reaction, Vincent didn't say anything more. Pulling the chair, he stood up and left the room.

Elaine was at a loss for words.

A confused look was plastered on her face. Did she do something wrong? No, she definitely did not, so why was he upset?

She was perplexed.

Ignoring him, she continued eating her food.

After the meal, Morgan brought her a few articles of modest clothing to choose from. Immediately, she brought them to the bathroom to change.

When she was done changing, Vincent was in a call, but she didn't know what he was talking about.

Just then, her phone rang. Fishing it out, she saw that it was Zoe who was calling her.

Walking towards the corner of the room, she answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Elaine!" Zoe shouted on the phone. "Come here right now! Those gangsters are back again. They are gonna smash everything at home! Mom and I are scared to death!"

Hearing that, Elaine replied plainly, "Oh."

"What do you mean, oh? Are you deaf? Gangsters are causing trouble at home. What are you waiting for? Come back this instance!"

"There's no point going back when I can't even help..."

"What do you mean you can't help? You're the one who started it, so hurry up and take care of it! Ah!"

Not knowing what had happened on the other side of the phone, she heard Zoe scream, "Elaine Jacob, if you still have a little bit of guilt, come back here and solve the problem! Otherwise, Mom and I will never ever forgive you!"

Elaine was dumbfounded.

The corner of her lips twitched, then she hung up the phone.

"Beep beep beep..."

Hearing the phone being hung up, Zoe was close to exploding with rage.

Putting the phone away, she tidied up the messy bed, then she was left with nothing else to do.

The hotel was clean and spotless, so there was nothing much for her to clean up.

After sitting on the couch for a while, she got up and head towards the exit.

However, as soon as she opened the door, someone was standing guard outside.

The man outside was smoking when he saw her. With a smile, he asked, "Are you going out?"

"Yes," she replied with a curt nod.

"I'm sorry, Miss Jacob. Without Mr. Bradbury's permission, you can't leave the room," said the man.

"Why not?"

In response, the man gave an awkward smile.

Knitting her brows together in frustration, Elaine shut the door, took a deep breath, and returned to the room.

When she entered the room, Vincent was also done with his phone call. He didn't even spare her a glance, as if she was a stranger.

Walking towards him, she requested, "I want to go out, but there's a guard outside, and he won't let me go. Can you please tell him that I want to leave?"

Vincent paid no attention to her.

Holding back her patience, she repeated, "Please tell the guard outside that I want to go out!"

Still, he ignored her.

This time, Elaine was furious. "Vincent Bradbury!"

Only then did he turn to look at her. "Yes?"

She nearly choked on rage.

Did she just waste her time talking to him earlier?

"I need to go out, but someone is at the door. I can't leave if they don't let me." She pursed her lips, "Tell the guards outside to let me go."

"Why do you want to go out?"
