Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 340

When Ember returned to the villa, the sky had already darkened and it was a little cold as it was autumn now. Since she wasn't feeling well, she couldn't help coughing when being blown by the wind.

Hazel immediately patted her back and said, "Madam, please hurry up and enter the house."

Ember nodded and quickened her pace.

Oscar stood at the entrance and greeted her with a smile, "Madam, you're back!"

He opened the door and let them in. Then, he cast a glance at the darkness when he spotted a few figures flashing past. Nevertheless, he calmly withdrew his gaze and closed the door.

Ember went straight upstairs to rest. Suddenly, Oscar seemed to have thought of something and immediately chased after her. "Madam!"

"Is there anything else, Oscar?" Ember stood on the stairs and turned to ask.

Oscar avoided her gaze and said, "The kitchen has made some soup. Madam, why don't you have some before taking a rest..."

"No, I'm not hungry." Ember refused faintly and went straight upstairs.

Seeing that, Oscar immediately followed after her.

They went up to the first floor. Right then, the door of the study was opened and a woman in her 30s, dressed in a dress, came out.

The woman didn't seem to have expected the return of Ember, to which she was stunned. Quickly, she retreated in a panic, lowering her eyes and not daring to look at Ember.

However, Ember just stared at her face carefully for a while and then looked away. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

This was what Oscar was afraid of happening. Just now, he wanted to keep Ember in the restaurant downstairs so that he could deal with it. He didn't expect that they would meet face to face so soon.

Oscar strode up and was about to say something when Ember ordered coldly, "Oscar, it's getting late. Get the driver to send this lady away and remind him to drive carefully."

Hearing that, Oscar was astonished, but he immediately replied, "Yes, Madam."

Apparently, the woman was surprised too that Ember just let her go like that with a calm look, as if nothing had happened. Just as she was dumbfounded, Oscar grabbed her by the arm and said, "Miss Kinsey, this way."

The woman then followed him down the stairs.

Just then, the door opened again and Isai stood at the door with his eyes fixed on Ember.

Nevertheless, she ignored him and walked to her bedroom, but Isai quickly grabbed her by the arms and pulled her into the study. The door was then slammed shut in front of Hazel, who was so scared that she almost wanted to knock on the door, but dared not. Eventually, she could only wait outside.

She decided that if something happened, she would immediately call Stanley...

In the study, Ember, who was dragged in, frowned and asked, "What do you want?"

Isai looked her up and down. "You look better than this morning. Are you that happy to see Stanley?"

Surprised, Ember looked up at him. "You know that Stanley is back?"

"Why would you ask such a stupid question?" Isai laughed out loud. "I've always known about his movements in the past few years, not to mention that he had returned."

Ember's expression changed drastically when she heard his words. "You've always known that Stanley isn't dead, and yet, you didn't tell me? Isai, why did you do this?"

Isai sneered. "My son has been trying to kill me. Don't you think I should watch out for him? He was living well in Allgate City, and all of a sudden he returned. What does he want?" Speaking of this, he looked at her and questioned, "What did he say to you today?"

Ember merely looked at him weirdly. "Since you've always known that Stanley is alive, don't you know that he hasn't returned all these years because he lost his memory?"

Hearing that, Isai was surprised. "He lost his memory?"

Over the past few years, he had been secretly watching Stanley. Knowing that he was just staying in Allgate City quietly and had no other thoughts, Isai didn't take any action on him, just keeping a tab on him secretly.

Now that Stanley had suddenly returned to Beachmarsh City and had met up with Sharon, Isai could no longer maintain his composure.

But now, Ember was telling him that Stanley had lost his memories?

"Stanley was found by Sharon in Allgate City. When she found him, he had already lost his memory." The hatred in Ember's eyes was very obvious. "And the reason he became like this was because of you!"

Suspicion flashed across Isai's eyes. "Did he really lose memory?"

Ember didn't answer though. She just warned him sternly, "If you dare to do anything to them, Isai, I swear I will kill you myself!"

Isai chuckled as if he heard something funny. "You?"

"I meant it." Ember's face was cold as never before and her gaze was icy. She looked at Isai like he was nothing. "Thirty years ago, you were just a deserter. If it hadn't been for my family's support, you wouldn't have achieved what you have today!"

Isai had been quite powerful for the past few decades. No one dared to disrespect him nor disobey him. Therefore, his heart swelled up a little and he had almost forgotten about his past, which was now brought up by Ember.

Receiving her despiteful glance, Isai was very furious and gave her a slap so hard that her head had turned aside and her mouth was instantly filled with the smell of blood.

Isai panted as he glared at her face for a long time, then left angrily.

Only then did Hazel rush in to hold Ember.

"Madam, are you alright? Do you want me to call Mr. Jones over..." "Don't call him. I'm fine." Ember supported herself by the wall. "He hasn't regained his memory yet. I don't want to drag him into these things."

Hazel then said with indignation, "But Isai has been imprisoning you here all these years."

Ember pursed her lips. "Yet, he allowed me to go visit Stanley today. I'm wondering what he's up to."

"He must be up to something bad!"

Ember just smiled and patted Hazel's hand, then they went back to her bedroom together.

When Sharon woke up the next day, she stared at the ceiling and let out a long sigh. Why did she agree for Stanley to stay?

Was she nuts?

Looking at his arms circling around her waist, she was speechless for a long time before she angrily shook off his hand.

Since when did he get on her bed? She remembered that she had driven him into the living room last night!

Meanwhile, just as Sharon was about to get up, Stanley had woken up. Before he even opened his eyes, he had already pressed her back into his arms.

Sharon's body went stiff while her eyes widened...
