Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 100

Anthony gaped his mouth open and stammered, seemingly a little shocked by Sharon's remark. After a long time, he said, "Madam, do you mean that you deliberately went out on a date with Liam because you are so angry about Boss' rumors and wanted to piss him off?"

Sharon frowned. "I didn't say that."

"But... That's what you meant..."

Sharon was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt a little tired. What was the point of her arguing with Anthony here?

She already knew Stanley's attitude toward her clearly in the car earlier. He was indifferent and despised her, and he looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger.

She wanted to explain to him that Liam didn't kiss her with her consent. She was forced into kissing him. Now that she thought about it, the explanation seemed redundant.

She would just let him be with his misunderstandings. He could think whatever he liked.

"I'm tired. Anthony, please go out. I want to rest."

Sharon put the glass on the table, pulled over the quilt, and lay down with an indifferent attitude.

Anthony stood for a while and let out a long sigh. When he went out, he turned off the lights.

In the darkness, Sharon opened her big eyes, and what happened a few hours ago appeared in her mind uncontrollably. Stanley was so fierce to her, and he even looked at her with that kind of cold eyes. She had never seen such a side of Stanley in her life. His glares were so horrible that he did not look like his old self at all.

In the short span of a few minutes in the car, she was really afraid of him.

Why would he do that to her?

Just because of that kiss?

She still felt aggrieved. The more she thought about it, the more miserable she felt. However, even if she was very sorrowful, she would never shed a tear.

After Anthony went out of the ward, he went directly to the empty underground parking lot, which was as quiet as a graveyard.

He slowly approached and saw that the window of the driver's seat was half-opened, the cigarette smokes exhuming from inside the car.

"Boss, Madam just woke up." Anthony reported, "Now she probably fell asleep again. It seems that she is in a relatively good condition with no other symptoms. It's just that her arm hurts a little when she woke up just now."

After Anthony finished speaking, Stanley who was sitting in the car did not make a sound for a long time.

Anthony's heart was beating like a drum. He didn't know what Stanley was thinking, so he was a little anxious.

After a long while, Stanley looked up with his blood-shot eyes. "Did she say anything?"

Anthony shook his head and said, "She didn't say anything. She just asked about her situation."

If Stanley learned about what Sharon said in the ward just now, he would inevitably lose his temper again. Therefore, Anthony just pretended that nothing had happened and said nothing.

Stanley took a deep breath, and the smell of smoke spread through his lungs. The smoke eased his restlessness. He leaned back, closed his eyes, and his Adam's apple bobbed. "You can go back now. I want to be alone."

Anthony was worried. "Boss..."

"Get lost!"

Stanley growled impatiently and furiously.

Anthony was shocked and immediately stepped back. "Okay."

After walking for a few steps, Anthony stopped and looked back. In the huge parking lot, Stanley sat alone in the passenger seat, smoking quietly with a gloomy expression on his face.

He looked a little lonely and injured.

Anthony sighed and slowly walked away.

In the villa, Liam kicked the tea table, and everything on the table was broken into pieces.

William Carney came in with the family doctor, but he didn't know whether he should go in or out.

He waited until the enraged Liam calmed down that he slowly approached him and said, "Young Master, I've brought the doctor here. Please let him tend to your injury."

Liam sat on the sofa, panting heavily, and his eyes were full of creepy gloom.

William gestured to the doctor, to which the doctor nodded and immediately went up to check Liam out. After checking his injury thoroughly, the doctor found that he did not sustain any serious injury, so he reminded them of a few things to be taken note of, left some medicine, and then hurriedly left.

As soon as he opened the door and left, another person came in.

"What's going on? What's with the loud noise?"

William looked back and found that it was Liam's business partner, Harvey.

There was a bloody wound on Liam's face which made him look more dangerous than usual. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Harvey laughed and said, "I happened to come to you for something, but I didn't expect you to lose your temper. I can even hear the noise downstairs."

After that, he pointed to the wound on his body. "Would you mind telling me what's going on?"

Liam snorted, "It's none of your business!"

"Hey, Liam, we are business partners in the same boat." Harvey casually took a bottle of wine on the bar counter, took two sips, and said with a straight look, "Was that Stanley's work?"

Liam warned him with a poker face, "Harvey, did I tell you that you'd better not meddle in my affairs and don't ask too much!"

Harvey walked over to him with a glass of wine and sat down beside him. "Liam, I feel aggrieved for you, that's all. Don't you hate it after being suppressed by him for so many years?"

Liam looked at him with no expression.

Harvey laughed and said, "In the past, you didn't have any power. Even if you wanted to fight against him, you didn't have the capital. But now, Liam, you are no longer a powerless man. You have the ability to defeat the man who looked down on you."

As if interested, Liam raised his eyebrows. "Do you have any good ideas?"

Harvey Jie raised his head and drank up the red wine in his glass. He said, "Kill Stanley."

"Do you think it's easy to kill him?"

"It's true that he's overly capable and it's not easy to kill him, but how do you know you won't succeed if you haven't tried it?"

Liam smiled, but Harvey couldn't tell if his smile was genuine or fake. Liam said, "How do you know that I haven't tried it?"

Harvey frowned and looked at him with inquiry in his eyes. Liam, who was sitting next to him, was no longer the powerless Liam from seven years ago. He had been secretly cultivating his own power. If he really had attempted Stanley's assassination...

Harvey's eyes shifted around, and his smile was viciously aggressive. "Since you didn't succeed, may I offer you my service this time?"

"Oh? How are you going to help me?"

"It's not easy to deal with Stanley, but it's easy to deal with the people around him. In the past, he was alone, so we couldn't make a move even if we wanted to. But now it's different. Sharon Cruz is his wife. We can kidnap her and lure him out..."

"Harvey, if you dare to touch Sharon, I'll kill you!"

Liam raised his hand and slapped the wine glass in Harvey's hand to the ground. He stared at him coldly and said, "You can't hurt her, or I won't spare you!"

Harvey said while gritting his teeth, "Why can't I? She's just a woman. Did you fall in love with her? Didn't you approach her to kill Stanley in the first place? Now the opportunity is right in front of you, and you choose to flinch?"

Liam was speechless by his rhetorical questions. Harvey was right. He had planned to do so at the beginning, but why didn't he agree now?

With agitation in his heart, he said coldly, "In short, I have no objection to how you want to deal with Stanley, but you can't hurt Sharon."

Harvey's face darkened. "Do you have other thoughts about that woman?"

Liam raised his hand and pointed at the door of the room. He didn't want to talk to him. "Get lost!"

After staring at him for a while, Harvey laughed. He got up and flicked the wine on his clothes. "Okay, I won't be a bother today. I'll come over another day. Liam, you'd better consider what I said. After all, it's a rare opportunity."

After that, Harvey turned around and went out.

The door of the room was closed again. William walked over and cleaned up the broken wine glasses on the ground. After thinking for a while, he said, "Young Master, Harvey has been using you to go up against Stanley. He just wants to use you to eradicate Stanley."

Liam sneered. "Do you think I don't know about that? If he wants to take advantage of me, let him be. Anyway, I have also gained a lot of benefits from him."

It turned out that Liam knew everything.

William stopped talking and turned to leave.

Harvey threw the cigarette in his hand annoyingly and spat out a mouthful of saliva. "F*ck, d*mned Liam. Who do you think you are? If it weren't for me, how could you have become what you are today?"

The subordinate next to him immediately said, "Don't be angry, Mr. Wells. You've endured him for so many years. Please don't be angry over such a small matter."

Harvey took a deep breath and said, "You're right."

"It doesn't matter that Stanley is not easy to deal with. We have plenty of time to take it easy. Although we can't kill him personally now, it is also a good thing to watch them fight against each other. Maybe one day, both of them will fight each other and one of them may die."

Harvey glanced at his man and felt relief in his heart. "You're right. No matter who dies, I'll have one less problem!"

"Yes, Mr. Wells, so we can't be in a hurry. Those who achieve great things need patience."

Harvey raised his head and looked at the lights on the second floor of the villa. He sneered and said, "One day, these two brothers will die in my hands!"

The subordinate nodded in agreement. "There is still a trump card in our hands. When the time comes, I'll release that woman. We don't even have to do anything. We can simply sit back and watch them fight to the death just like what happened seven years ago!"

Harvey laughed coldly like a poisonous snake. "You're right. The moment that woman appears, the two brothers will go crazy again."

"You're right, Mr. Wells." His subordinate laughed sinisterly in agreement.

Sharon stayed in the hospital for two days.

After that night, she wanted to leave the hospital early the next morning, but Anthony advised against it on the excuse that her injuries had not healed completely.

When they were having lunch at noon, Sharon looked at Anthony and said, "Anthony, did Stanley ask you not to let me leave the hospital?"

She thought about it for a while and felt that this was the most possible possibility.

Obviously, Anthony was forcing her to stay in the hospital. She was fine now, and her arms moved freely in the past two days. As long as she didn't carry any heavy object, she could hardly feel any pain.

But Anthony refused to discharge her. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

He was just an assistant. He could not force her to stay unless it was Stanley's direct order.

Anthony froze awkwardly. "Boss is just concerned about your health. He doesn't want to keep you here in the hospital..."

Sharon sneered. "If he cares about me, why didn't he come to visit me these two days?"

"Uh... I..."

Anthony didn't know what to say.
