Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 366

It wasn't just Ayana who was startled. Even Stanley didn't expect that Sharon would fly off the handle.

As he recovered from the shock, a smile gradually appeared on his face. Without saying anything, he stood aside and enjoyed the delight that someone was standing up for him.

Before Ayana could regain her senses, Sharon had already come to her front. "You can't take away things that belong to him! Won't you feel guilty for that?" she yelled while glaring at Ayana.

In response, Ayana snorted and was ready to retort.

"How can you talk about conscience with a businessperson?" Stanley suddenly interrupted them and smilingly went straight to Sharon. "I can give them the company if that's what they want. I don't need the house and the car." After a pause, he stroked his chin. "Do you think I'm so poor that I have to rely on them to get all those things?"

Glowering at him, Sharon yelled, "What are you trying to say? I was just speaking for you.

She's too overbearing!"

"Well, that doesn't bother me. I am contented as long as you're by my side."

Stunned, Sharon opened her mouth but couldn't utter anything. Her cheeks began to blush as her heart beat faster. "Does that mean that... you no longer want to fight for what you should get?"

Upon glancing at her, Stanley smirked and stared at Ayana coldly. "Well, I am not interested in those things, but let's see if the Warner Family can get them."

Shocked by his strong aura, Ayana took two steps back and looked at him blankly. "You..."

"I won't marry you, and I don't want any money from you either. The company may be rich now. However, without my presence, it will only get worse day after day. Go and warn the Warner Family about it."

His words were imbued with unruliness. With an indifferent expression, he proclaimed, "If Warner Group leaves me, it will once again fall into a huge crisis and run the risk of bankruptcy in less than a year."

As soon as he finished his last word, Ayana went limp and stared at him in disbelief.

"Y-You..."

"Warner Group was doing terribly when I went to the company. In the past few years, I have been trying to pull it back to the right track with my own effort. Your family did not do anything, nor did you contribute a single cent. I can't do anything if you want to take back the company. Once I leave, I will have nothing to do with you and your family."

She looked at him vacantly and couldn't utter a single word, for she didn't expect him to be so heartless.

Without him, Warner Group would be in hot water. Currently, all the people in the company only listened to him, so the management would collapse if he did not go back.

What distressed her was that he did not covet the material wealth at all.

"Well, I have nothing much to say." He swept a glance across Ayana, who was still in a daze. "Please leave now. It's dinner time for our family."

She was literally left undone by his firm reply.

Seeing that she was not moving at all, he directly chased her out to prevent her from bringing more troubles for them.

After closing the door, Stanley returned to the living room. Sharon's eyes were wide open as she stared at him in her original spot.

As he walked up to her, he gently tapped her head and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

The pain brought her back to reality. "Ouch, it hurts," she mumbled while touching her head.

"What did you say?" Her sound was too soft to be audible.

"N- Nothing." Sharon cleared her throat and asked tentatively, "You're really confident. Are you sure that the company can't survive without you?"

With a faint smile on his face, he replied, "Don't you believe me?"

"No, I just feel that Warner Group is getting bigger now, and their business has also been on track. Even If you're not there, it could still operate as usual."

"When I first went there, the company couldn't even pay the employees. It took nearly a year for me to re-establish their reputation. I then spent another year expanding their connections and looking for new resources for them. If not, they would not have any of their current partners. They are willing to cooperate with Warner Group because of my capability. Do you think they will still look highly of the company after I leave?"

Sharon blinked her eyes in disbelief.

"Why are you so quite?"

He frowned when he saw her looking at him so intently.

In all honesty, she responded, "I suddenly feel that you are much stronger than what I imagined. I just don't know how to put it into words."

Stanley was as hard as nails, which meant he could get whatever he wanted, and nobody was to stop him in his way.

While everyone was vying for power, status, and money, he had the courage to leave everything behind.

Four years ago, he had passed Jones Group to Liam, which was what he had verbally promised. Now that he had stated that he would leave Warner Group, then he would probably do the same. This was the first time she had discovered how wilful he was.

Perhaps the truth was that he was too capable and did not care about those worldly possessions.

Sharon felt that she would never reach his level and be as aloof as he was.

Probably she did not have the capability to establish her own company.

Thinking of this, she sighed. Why was there such a big gap between the two of them?

"Why did you sigh? Isn't it too late to realize how great I am?"

He then laughed jovially.

Upon glancing at him, she put on a serious look and said, "Don't you care about it at all? They are obviously exploiting you. You've worked so hard to get those things for them. Why right do they have to just sit there and enjoy?

She wished he hadn't made the decision.

Squinting his eyes, he replied, "You kept defending me against what Ayana said. Does that mean you will leave me if I am poor?"

"Yeah, who will think highly of you without wealth? You are not as rich as you used to be, and you are no longer a young man. Who's still going to take a fancy to a poor man like you?" This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

A poor man?

No longer a young man?

Although he knew that was not what she believed, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard those words. "Well, I can still treat you well even though I'm old. Let's wait and see at night."

As a man, he naturally had the ability to provide for his family so that they could live a happy life.

She didn't expect him to start acting so frivolously again. "Pah! What are you thinking now?" Flushed, she went back to the bedroom to look for the children.
