Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 333

After Sharon finished speaking, it was quiet in the car for a long time. She turned her head and looked over. Stanley still in the driver's seat, frozen, his hands tightly holding onto the steering wheel.

Her eyes met his dark gloomy eyes. For a moment, Sharon saw regret and self-blame...

Startled, Sharon asked: "Are you... sure you haven't got your memories back?"

Without warning, she blurted out these words because he was just acting too suspicious, and the emotions that he unconsciously showed gave her the impression that he was truly the old Stanley.

Stanley's dark eyes flashed. "No." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Sharon wasn't so easily fooled this time. Again, she asked suspiciously, "Nothing at all?"

"Yes."

"Then how do you know Shawn?"

Indeed, Stanley's reactions made it seem as if he knew Shawn. His reaction to how Shawn treated her in her house the day before, and his reaction to the first time they both met in the hospital.

Stanley remained calm and answered, "Anthony told me. He showed me Shawn's photos, and Anthony also told me what happened to you in the past."

Fine, Sharon had no choice but to believe him. Anthony did know everything that had happened in the past.

Sharon lowered her eyelashes, still unable to hide the disappointment in her heart.

Looking at her like this, Stanley twitched his mouth. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed back his words.

Stanley restarted the car to leave. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "In the future, if the couple gives you trouble again, don't put up with it. Either you call them out or you retaliate, according to your mood. Don't worry about what will happen later. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Sharon turned her head to look at him in astonishment.

Stanley's expression was indifferent as if he was talking about a weather forecast. "In the future, no matter what happens, I will be the one to back you up. In the future, no one will bully you and the kids, and only you will be the one who bullies others."

When he said these words, he was practically squinting. Sharon's heart beat a little faster. Although she felt that these words were too arrogant, it was undeniable that when she heard what he said, she felt love and doted.

She was also slightly blushing, but when she thought of something, the blush on her face gradually faded.

But he and Ayana...

Tightening her lips, Sharon felt a little agitated. She pointed to the intersection in front and said, "Pull up there. My office is just there."

Stanley didn't notice the change in her facial expression or mood at all. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are we here already?"

"Yes." Sharon nodded a little impatiently. "Stop the car here."

Stanley glanced at her and intuitively noticed that there were some fluctuations in her emotions. He wanted to speak, but Sharon had already opened the door and got out.

After watching her disappear, Stanley restarted the car and left.

Soon after, Sharon walked into the office, but she was already late. When the assistant saw her coming in, he was the first to greet her. "Sharon, why are you late? Did you have trouble getting the children out of bed?"

Glancing at him, she asked, "Mark, who are you to Shawn?"

Just then, Mark's eyes opened wide. It seemed that he couldn't believe that she asked him so suddenly, and he couldn't react to it for quite a few minutes. When he finally regained his senses, Sharon had already sat on the office chair.

Mark gulped. After coming to his senses, he slowly walked over and looked at Sharon a little nervously, "Sharon, how... how did you know?"

"In the past few years, when the children and I had any troubles, Shawn would always be the first to rush to us immediately. Someone must have leaked the news to him. If it weren't someone close to me, how would he know my situation? Also, I received a phone call last time, which was from Stanley, and you answered it, right? After answering it, you didn't even tell me someone called me. At that time, I suspected that you had an ulterior motive. Later, Shawn came back and went straight to the hospital, as if he knew my comings and goings."

At this point, Sharon looked at him quietly with her black eyes. "Mark, you're a reporter. You know how to stalk, and you know how to hide it from me. You also know that I wouldn't suspect you since you're around me. So, all these years, you told Shawn everything that happened to me, didn't you?"

Mark suddenly panicked. "Sharon, I swear I really haven't done anything overboard. At most, I only told Mr. Shawn about how hard you have worked or when you run into some troubles. Nothing else..."

"That's enough. I told you all this today because I want to tell you that I can't be bothered to care about what happened in the past, but it's best if you don't tell Shawn about my matters in the future." Sharon cut him off. "Get to work. I have some documents that I have to settle."

Mark left with a blank look on his face.

Jones Group.

When the secretary entered the conference room, Liam was listening to the report of the Sales Department. He looked as if he wasn't paying attention, but he was actually able to easily point out the mistakes in the manager's report.

After the manager finished his report, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down. Although Liam's face wasn't gloomy, his brows were tightly knitted together. "A few contracts from last month were secured by Shawn Lewis again?"

The manager gulped and nodded. "Lewis Enterprise has been popular in Beachmarsh City for the past several years. Shawn is very good at making connections; he has teamed up with our biggest competitor to suppress us. It's obvious that he is deliberately targeting Jones Group."

Liam's eyes narrowed slightly, and dissipated some darkness from them.

At this moment, the secretary pushed the door open and hurried over to Liam's side. She bent down and whispered into his ear, "Mr. Frazier, there’s a Mr. Jones outside who wants to see you."

"Jones?"

Liam raised his eyebrows. There weren't many people with the surname 'Jones' in Beachmarsh City.

The secretary then added, "Linda recognized that... Mr. Jones was the former president of the Jones Group, so..."

So even if Stanley didn't make an appointment, the secretary had to come in and report to Liam about his presence.

When Liam heard these words, his expression froze for a moment before a complicated expression appeared on his face. He muttered, "I knew this brat wouldn't die so easily..." Then, his expression turned serious as he waved his hand towards the group of people in the meeting. "Let's call it a day. You may leave now."

The group of people immediately left the room.

Liam took a sip of tea before slowly rising to his feet. "Where is he?"

The secretary hurriedly led the way. "He's in the reception room."

As soon as she got out of the door, Linda came out of the secretary's office and said, "Mr. Frazier, President Jones... I mean, Mr. Jones has just gone to your office."

Liam nodded, indicating that he understood. He then ordered the secretary to prepare coffee before pushing open the office door and strutting in.

Stanley stood in front of the big glass window of the office with his tall and straight back facing Liam, just as how Liam remembered it.

After closing the office door behind him, Liam slowly opened his mouth. "You're so lucky. Four years. Everyone thought you were dead. I didn't expect you to still be alive!"
