Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 180

Sharon came to her senses and shook her head hurriedly. "No. I'm okay."

He appeared in time and stopped Cecilia. Sharon was not hurt by them at all.

Stanley nodded and said, "That's a relief."

Then he looked up and glanced at the crowd one by one. His eyes were sharp and full of momentum. Cecilia was so shocked when he glanced at her that she retreated frightfully, her eyes filling with fear.

She had already experienced his menacing scheme.

She had the guts to confront Sharon because Sharon said that the man behind her was not Stanley. She did not expect that Sharon would lie to her!

How could she hide this ultimatum as her backer instead of showing off and revealing him?

At this time, Stanley said calmly, "Mr. Casey, is this how you discipline your daughter?"

Jordan Casey had been in the business world for so many years, and he had long been able to read people's minds and act accordingly. As soon as Stanley spoke, he immediately understood that Stanley wanted to get justice for Sharon! Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Jordan made up his mind and pulled Cecilia out. "Mr. Jones, Cecilia did something wrong here. By all means, please punish her accordingly."

Cecilia shouted incredulously, "Dad!"

"Shut up!" Jordan glared at her fiercely. "You are always so hostile, arrogant, and domineering. I have told you long ago that you should be kind to others, but you just don't listen! Luckily it is Mr.

Jones whom we met today. He is a great man who will forgive you and will not harbor grievance for your wrongdoings. If you behave like this again in the future and offend someone you shouldn't, let's see who can save you!"

Cecilia was so aggrieved that she could not say a word. She looked at Derrick with her red and watery eyes, yet he gritted his teeth and turned his face away. He felt uneasy and upset after what Sharon said.

Stanley sneered and said, "What do you mean by saying that I'm a great man who will forgive her? Mr. Casey, you are indeed an experienced businessman in the business world. I have to take the compliments even if I don't want to."

Jordan quickly waved his hand sheepishly. "Oh, no. I'm telling the truth. I just feel that Mr. Jones's temperament and generosity are something we can't compare with."

Stanley narrowed his eyes and did not speak. After a while, he pulled Sharon aside and said, "Wait for me here."

"What are you going to do?" Sharon was dumbfounded.

Stanley smiled and did not reply. He looked at Jordan calmly. "Mr. Casey, may I have a word with you?"

Jordan gaped in awe and quickly nodded, flustered. "Of course! This way please, Mr. Jones."

After that, he glared at his family again and said, "All right, watch your mouth and don't make a scene!"

At this moment, he could see that they could not afford to offend Sharon or they would face harsh consequences!

Cecilia was not in the mood to find fault with Sharon anyway. She thought of what Sharon just said. She said that Shawn was at Beachmarsh City... Besides, there was also a problem with Derrick. How would she explain the situation to him later?

Looking at his indifferent look now, he must be very pissed off.

Derrick had a better family background than she did. His family was rich. It was not easy for her to tackle such a man. She didn't want to give him up because of some old past.

"Derrick..."

Cecilia pulled his hand, trying to explain herself.

Derrick shook her off with a faint expression on his face. "Just say whatever you want."

Cecilia bit her lip.

Evonne glanced at the two of them and ignored them. She looked at Sharon and thought for a moment. Then she walked over to her and asked in a low voice, "Sharon, tell me honestly, what's your relationship with Stanley Jones?"

Sharon had been focusing on Stanley. She was curious about what Stanley and Jordan had talked about in secret, so she didn't hear it clearly when Evonne suddenly asked her something.

"What did you say?" Sharon glanced at her and asked.

Evonne thought that she was deliberately asking these questions cockily, so she couldn't help but be annoyed. "Sharon, a man like he won't treat you sincerely. If I'm right, this is just fling to him!"

Upon hearing this, Sharon sneered. "Tell me, why won't he treat me sincerely?"

"There are not many good men from that kind of family, and the Jones Family is one of the biggest families in Beachmarsh City. Stanley's future wife will be from a rich and prominent family too. You... don't deserve him."

Sharon was bewildered.

"It might sound cruel, but I'm telling you the truth. It's not possible for people like Stanley to marry an ordinary girl like you. I have been mingling with some rich and powerful families, so I know what they think."

Evonne went to hold her hand. "Sharon, I'm sorry that I didn't care much about you before, but I will change in the future. To be frank, if you don't want to be abandoned by Stanley in the future, you must give birth to a baby for him, so that you can guarantee a better life in the future!"

Sharon shook off her hand and suppressed the disgust in her heart. She sneered and said, "In order to marry into the Casey Family, you cheated on dad and gave birth to Cecilia with Jordan. Now you want me to walk on the same path as you?"

"It's for your own good!"

"Don't implement your crooked mindset on me and say that it's for my own good!"

Evonne was trembling with fury. "Are you waiting for the day to be abandoned? Will you sober up and come to your senses only until that day comes?"

Sharon calmed down at this moment. She quietly looked at Evonne in front of her and pointed to Stanley who was standing in the distance. "I choose to be with that man because I love him. If one day he doesn't love me anymore and chooses another woman, I will take the initiative to leave him instead of letting him abandon me! I can choose what kind of life I want to lead, instead of being attached to a man discreetly, and be afraid that I will be abandoned all the time!"

It was such a sad and pathetic life to live. She suddenly felt a little sympathy for her mother who had lived such a life for the rest of her life.

Evonne looked at her in a daze, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a word.

At this time, Stanley came over. He frowned and looked at Sharon. He pulled her to his side and asked in a low voice, "Are you all right?"

Sharon nodded. "I'm okay."

Stanley nodded too. "Let's go then."

With this, he turned around and was about to take Sharon away. Sharon was startled. "Uh... Are you done?"

Stanley smiled, raising the corners of his mouth. "Yes, we're done talking."

Sharon couldn't help but be curious. "What did you talk about?"

Before Stanley spoke, Evonne's voice came from behind him, "Mr. Jones!"

Stanley raised his eyebrows and turned around, his eyes shining with wisdom. "Is there anything else?"

Evonne looked at Sharon under the street lamp. She had grown up into a mature woman who had her own set of thinking. Evonne looked at Sharon whom she had never really concerned or doted on. She suddenly felt sorry for her and blurted out.
