Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 365

Sadie might be young, but she knew how to differentiate between positive and negative remarks. She felt that what she had uttered was bad, which was why she spoke very softly so that it would not be heard by others. Therefore, as soon as Stanley spoke, her chubby little hand quickly covered his mouth.

"Dad, keep your voice down. She will be unhappy if she hears you."

However, Stanley only smiled without the slightest bit of hesitation. "I won't care about others as long as you are happy."

After that, he came to the living room and put his daughter down. As he touched Seamus' head, he said with a smile, "Go and play with her in the room. I will come to see you later."

Glancing at Stanley, Seamus obediently took her hand and said, "Let's go."

She was a little reluctant to leave. "Seamus..."

"I have something to talk to her. We'll watch cartoons later," coaxed Seamus.

Upon hearing that, she obediently followed him to the bedroom.

"Sharon, please go back to your room.' Stanley glanced at the woman next to him.

"No, I won't." Sharon didn't give them any chance to be alone. "This is my home, so why do I have to hide in the room?"

It was apparent that was she was disgruntled. That looked amusing to Stanley, who did not force her to leave.

As she turned her head, she looked at Ayana coldly, "Miss Warner, why don't you speak now? Tell me, what's the consequence that I can't bear?"

When he looked at Sharon, there was always a smile in his eyes. However, when he shifted his gaze to Sharon, he would exude an aura as cold as a winter pool. Such extremes in his personality literally formed a stark contrast.

Before he regained his memory, she was the only woman around him. Although he was also stern with her, he would not look at her with such a cold expression.

"Stanley..." Ayana stared at him for a moment. "I came to Beachmarsh City this time to bring you back to Allgate City. Since you have finished your work here, when do you plan to go back?"

Following a sigh, Stanley said, "Didn't I make it clear enough last time? I won't go back to Allgate City, and I can work here."

Ayana's expression suddenly changed. "If you don't return to Warner Group, who is going to suppress those problematic men in the company? You know that they've always wanted to take back Warner Group. Since you've witnessed the growth of Warner Group, are you just going to let others destroy it again?"

Noticing his slight frown, Ayana realized that she was indeed a little emotional, so she took two deep breaths and lowered her voice. "Now that Warner Group has no leader, some people want to cause trouble. If you go back, the employees in the company will at least feel less worried. Stanley, Warner Group can't lose you."

As the corners of his mouth curved upward, Stanley grinned and said, "Really? Or is it you who want me to go back? Is it because you want me to get rid of those old fogeys in the company so that you can have the controlling stake of Warner Group?"

When she heard that, her body stiffened slightly.

"Ayana, I know what you've been up to all these years. You wanted to take back Warner Group, but you didn't have the ability, so you had to take advantage of me. I didn't care about that. If that's what you want, I was willing to help you fight for it because you're the one who saved me."

"But it's different now. I've regained my memories, so I won't help you do those things," Stanley uttered slowly. "I've helped you make a lot of profit, which is enough for you to lead a stable or even a lavish life."

Ayana's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"

"Isn't that clear enough? From now on, I won't do anything for you or your family," Stanley stated his stance firmly, one word at a time. "You don't have to use Warner Group to suppress me. If it weren't for me, Warner Group would have gone bankrupt long ago. How could it still be as prosperous as it is now?"

Without expecting that he would be so harsh, Ayana flustered and said, "You can't ignore the Warner Family. I saved your life, and we have been helping you so much over the years. If you don't want to care about our family, then you are not entitled to join Warner Group!"

When he heard that, he slowly narrowed his eyes.

Having found his weakness, she could not help but smirk, "Before you became the President of Warner Group, I've signed a contract. It stipulates that you will only have control over the company if you agree to marry me."

Simply put, it was only when Stanley married Ayana that he would benefit from the company. Otherwise, his energy all these years would just go in vain.

"In order to prevent you from changing your opinion on Warner Group in the future, there is another clause on the contract which states that, if you don't marry me, you will have to return the real estate under your name as well as all the houses, cars, stocks!"

Then, she took a step forward and looked into his deep eyes. "You can only have these things when you marry me. If not, you won't be able to get even a single cent from me!"

His power, status, and identity were all given to him by Warner Group. Therefore, she was sure that he would compromise on this matter.

These were things that were irresistible to all men.

Most importantly, he had invested a lot of time and energy in Warner Group. For this reason, she believed that he would not give up on the company.

Staring at him, she said, "Stanley, go back with me. The date of our marriage remains unchanged. At that time, everyone in Allgate City will come to attend our wedding. As long as you marry me, I will just pretend that these have never happened, okay?"

In the end, she softened her attitude.

The only way to deal with men was to use both soft and hard tactics. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

As expected, as soon as her voice fell, Stanley's expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, Sharon, who had been standing to the side and listening, could no longer hold it in any longer.

"Ayana! I've listened for so long and finally understood it. How could you be so shameless? Stanley worked so hard to clean up your mess and revive your company that was about to go bankrupt. He devoted himself to making money for your family and did not care about anything in return. Have

you thought about his feelings? How dare you frame him like this? Will the Warner Family not feel guilty for him?"

Upon hearing Ayana's words, she felt that her original worldview had completely been demolished. How Ayana treated Stanley made her blood boil.

Her hands, which were clenched into fists, could not help trembling. "It was true that you saved him once. Both he and I were very grateful to you. However, he has repaid the favor by saving your company from bankruptcy. Isn't that enough? Why do you have to torture him? He has done so many things for you over the past few years. He must have made some contribution to your company, but now you don't even want to give him anything that he deserves? How could you be so cold-blooded?"
