Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 132

Cecilia was more annoyed as she could tell that the dress on Sharon was of great value.

Reluctant to waste her time on Cecilia and Lilian, Sharon turned around and was about to leave when Lilian lunged forward and stepped on Sharon's dress, causing the skirt to rip instantly.

Because Lilian stepped on her dress, Sharon lost her balance and fell forward. Fortunately, a kind waiter managed to support her to save her from the fall.

The loud commotion attracted the attention of the people standing near them, and they looked at them as if they were watching a drama.

Lilian quickly stepped back and apologized repeatedly, "Oh, sorry, I'm so sorry. I was too careless. Miss, are you okay?"

It was such a pity that she didn't venture into the entertainment industry since she was so good at acting.

Sharon stood up straight, looked back at the dirty hem of her dress, and then looked down at the ripped part. After a while, she smiled and said, "I'm okay. You didn't do it on purpose anyway."

Lilian thought that it didn't make sense that Cecilia had been oppressed by such a pushover.

"Since you said that you're okay and I have apologized, then I won't be a bother. Excuse us."

Lilian hurriedly pulled Cecilia to leave as more and more people were looking at them and it was rather embarrassing.

Cecilia shared the same thought, so she had to spare Sharon from her torment for now and they turned around to leave.

"Who said you could leave?"

Sharon said abruptly.

Cecilia raised her eyebrows and turned around. "Is there something else you want to say?"

"Of course." Sharon looked at her indifferently. "Do you think you can just leave after ripping my dress? Dream on."

Sharon's simple remark brought to a climax what had already petered out

Both Cecilia and Lilian did not expect that the seemingly weak Sharon would say something like this in front of so many people.

The onlookers were glee to watch the drama unfold, treating it as an episode in the banquet.

There were more and more onlookers, which soon attracted Stanley's attention. He frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, it was the place where Sharon stayed just now.

Anthony strode over and verified his speculation. "Boss, Madam was over there, being harassed by Cecilia Casey and another woman."

"Cecilia Casey?"

"Yes, it's the Casey Family member who made a fuss at the hospital ward the other day."

Stanley's face darkened. He snorted and walked forward.

Anthony immediately followed him.

Stanley had his heart in his throat as he was afraid that she would be bullied, yet what he saw was beyond his expectation.

He stopped, raised his eyebrows, and was a little surprised.

Seeing Stanley stop, Anthony asked, puzzled, "What's wrong, Boss? Don't you want to go there?" "Not in a hurry. Let's see how she solves the problem."

Stanley stood in the crowd and looked at Sharon. To his surprise, she didn't look like the day when she was bullied in the hospital.

She stood in front of Cecilia with a smile on her face. "Cecilia Casey, first, your friend poured a glass of wine on my dress, and then she stepped on it. Now, the dress was ripped. I wonder how are you going to compensate for the damage you cost."

Cecilia didn't expect her to do this. She gritted her teeth and said, "We said we didn't mean it. Why do you make things difficult for us?"

"Just because you didn't mean it, does it mean you don't have to compensate? You have to pay for damaging people's things. Even elementary school students understand this. Don't you two adults understand?"

Lilian glared at her in dismay. "You..."

"And also." Sharon lifted the hem of the skirt, which was extremely soft and lavish. "I'm sure those who know can tell that this is a very expensive haute couture dress. There are only five of them in the world. Now that you ruined it, if you don't compensate me, I'm sorry but I have to call the police."

Frankly speaking, Sharon felt a little sheepish right now. She heard the stylist told her about this, and she was trying to intimidate Cecilia and Lilian with the remark.

The reason why she knew all of this was that the stylist said, "Mr. Jones is so nice to you. Even Jewel, the popular star, doesn't have this dress. In our country, there is one owned by a renowned celebrity, and the other one is right here with us."

She remembered the sense of pride and smugness on the stylist's face when he said it.

At that time, Sharon was indeed shocked when she learned about the dress's unusual background, so she was extremely careful when she was eating earlier for fear of staining it.

But now, Cecilia ruined the dress as soon as she came.

Originally, if the two of them had not gone too far, Sharon would not have stopped them.

But they had crossed the line, so she had to teach them some lessons.

Sharon looked at them with a smile and said, "Ladies, have you thought about how to compensate me? I accept cash and card, but no IOU."

The onlookers burst into laughter.

"Hey, I really don't expect this at all. This counter-attack move is too d*mn enjoyable! The little lady is awesome!"

"What's going on?"

"Those two ladies came to pick a fight with the young girl, but they got themselves into huge trouble and a dose of their own medicine. It's a great joy."

Cecilia was so angry that her whole body trembled and her face turned pale and red. "Sharon, don't push me too far!"

Sharon was stunned. "Did I? Hey, you can't slander me like that."

"You..."

"Okay, if you don't want to compensate me, I have another idea," Sharon interrupted her.

Cecilia frowned and looked at her.

"I don't want your money, but I can't just let it slip. Why don't you splash each other with a glass of wine, then I'll call it even."

She learned this trick from Stanley, which not only did she teach them a lesson and vent her anger but also shield herself from the mess. It was clear-cut, smart, and satisfying.

That was why you had to watch the company you kept. Sharon felt that the longer she was with Stanley, the more wicked she became.

Cecilia went to a great length to get the invitation for the banquet and took a week to prepare the dress for the event. If they did it according to Sharon, they would not be able to stay at the banquet!

At this moment, the cocky Lilian transformed into a coward as she hid behind Cecilia and did not dare to say a word.

"Sharon Cruz, you are cruel indeed!"

Cecilia glared at Sharon with hatred, her hands shaking with anger.

Sharon was confused. Was she really cruel?

She just made a counterattack. What else could she do? Stood still and did nothing?

She would rather make a move than standing still!

"Actually, there's another solution."

A clear male voice resonated. It was a unique low voice, hoarse and sexy. Sharon didn't have to look back to know that it was Stanley.

There was a stir in the crowd when they saw him.

As soon as Cecilia saw him, she trembled even more. She did not forget what had happened in the hospital last time.

This man was even more terrifying.

As soon as Stanley came out, he naturally put his arm around Sharon's shoulder. His dark eyes swept over and coldly fell on Cecilia which sent a chill down her spine and she began to sweat profusely.

Seeing that they were so close to each other, the crowd immediately turned from watching the drama to gossiping.

Sharon hoped she could hide like an ostrich right now! Although there were no reporters here and it wouldn't be exposed, the display of affection in front of so many people was clearly a sign of revealing their relationship!

She tried to break free, but she couldn't.

Stanley hugged her tightly.

"Anthony."

Stanley said lightly, "Go and get the person in charge here."

"Okay."

Anthony immediately left.

A few minutes later, the organizer came. When he saw that it was Stanley, he greeted respectfully, "Mr. Jones..."

"Check these ladies' invitations and passes," Stanley said briefly.

The organizer came to his senses almost immediately and said, "Ladies, please show me your pass."

Cecilia and Lilian panicked. Their passes were fake and they sneaked in through their connections. If they were to take them out in front of so many people, how embarrassing would it be!

"We... We are..."

The two of them stood in the same place, blushing nervously. They stuttered and couldn't say a complete word.

The organizer gradually lost his patience and said, "Ladies, please show me your passes, or I'll call the security guards!"

Cecilia was so resentful right now that she gritted her teeth and glared at Sharon indignantly.

Stanley didn't want to bother himself with these two annoying ladies, so he calmly ordered, "Anthony, settle this."

Anthony nodded. "Yes, boss."

Stanley left with Sharon in his arms. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Anthony gestured at the organizer who immediately called the security guard. In less than two minutes, the sturdy security guard dragged Cecilia and Lilian out of the venue.

In the corner, Jewel looked on expressionlessly. She glanced coldly at the back of Sharon and Stanley who were walking to the second floor. There was no other emotion in her eyes except for the distorted hatred.

She took out her mobile phone and made a phone call. As soon as the call was connected, Jewel's face was full of ferociousness. "Mr. Wells, I agree with your suggestion. Sharon is here now. It's a good chance to strike since there are so many people here tonight..."

While Jewel was talking, she slowly retreated to the dark place.

At the same time, Shawn came in with Ayana. His eyes swept over the red figure on the stairs almost immediately...

With only a back view, he recognized that it was his Sharon.

Shawn narrowed his eyes, shook off Ayana’s hand, and caught up with the red figure with big strides.

Ayana stretched out her hand and asked, "Young Master?"

"Stay here and eat something yourself. I have something to do."

Shawn uttered and immediately caught up to the shadow.

Ayana looked at his back in a daze.

When they went to the second floor, there was no one around them, so Sharon pushed him away and pointed at him with her little finger, complaining, "Stanley Jones, you b*stard!"

Stanley's face darkened. "What did you say?"

"Why did you hug me in front of so many people just now? I'm so embarrassed! Those women will definitely gossip about me. Fortunately, I have a complete makeover today, or they'll skin me alive!"

Sharon was anxious and confused, at a loss of what to do.

Stanley snorted and stretched out his hand to pull her. Sharon exclaimed and fell into his arms.

Their bodies were close to each other and looked extremely intimate and lustful.

The waiters stole a glimpse at them.

Sharon was embarrassed and abashed, trying to get out of his embrace in panic. Stanley pursed his lips unhappily, grabbed her wrist, pushed open a door, and pulled her in.
