Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 86

"L-Liam..." Jewel held his arm with fear in her eyes. "I won't say anything, I swear! I just pretend that I didn't hear any of that. For the sake of our relationship in the past two years, can you let me go this time?"

Now Jewel regretted looking for him very much.

Earlier, she was enraged by Sharon's provocation, so she came to Liam and wanted him to help her to deal with that b*tch!

However, she didn't expect that she actually heard something that she shouldn't.

She didn't expect that Liam and Stanley were brothers, and she also didn't expect that Liam had already secretly gotten in touch with Sharon.

Liam looked at her quietly. "Why should I take the risk to let you go?"

"B-Because I can help you!" Jewel blurted out.

"Oh? How can you help me?"

After swallowing anxiously, Jewel quickly calmed down and said, "If you want to hurt someone, sometimes making a move on the person he loves will make him suffer more."

Liam raised his chin, looking amused, and said, "Go on."

"You approached me to make a move on Stanley, but you found that I have no impact on Stanley." Jewel looked straight into Liam's eyes. "Yes, you're right, I don't, but Sharon does."

Liam narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"

Jewel told Liam what happened these days, "For the past two days, I see how nervous Stanley is to Sharon. I even see that he cares about her."

"If you hate Stanley, why don't you do something to Sharon? If Stanley likes Sharon, and Sharon is dead, he will definitely be in pain! The pain of taking away someone's love is the most excruciating!"

Jewel licked her lips and continued, "Liam, the more Stanley loves Sharon, the more painful he will be when you kill her. Isn't that good?"

After Jewel finished speaking, Liam did not say anything for a long time.

Jewel was very nervous, wondering if what she said suited his taste.

After a while, Liam raised his head and gulped down the wine in his glass. "Jewel, you want to use me to get rid of Sharon so that you can get Stanley, am I right?"

Jewel panicked as her little scheme was exposed and said, "1-1 didn't..."

Liam leaned down, pressed her on the sofa, and moved his big palm on her body as he murmured in a low voice, "You are so vicious. Why didn't I notice this before, huh?"

Noticing that he was not angry, Jewel secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Liam, what do you think of my idea?"

"It's quite naughty and shady."

"So..."

Liam smiled and said, "Ruthlessness is the mark of a truly great man. What's wrong with being a little ferocious, am I right?"

Jewel nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes."

Liam was getting more and more lustful. Soon, Jewel succumbed to his erotic moves.

Because of the compensation given by Jewel, Melody took Sharon to a nice restaurant for dinner after discharge.

She wanted to treat Sharon something nice as she knew very well that Sharon was very stingy and would save every penny she earned.

"Thank you, my generous goddess," Sharon complimented as if her mouth was coated with honey when she saw the table full of mouth-watering dishes. "Let's eat!"

"Yes, let's eat!"

Sharon began to chow down.

Melody had just recovered from a serious injury, so she had no appetite and watched Sharon eating with relish. Then, she suddenly thought of something and became serious. "Sharon, there is something I need to remind you."

Seeing that she was so serious, Sharon composed herself and said, "What is it? Tell me."

"You are a girl, and you haven't graduated yet, so you must protect yourself. Don't be pregnant, or you will be in big trouble."

Sharon stared at her, bewildered

"Did you hear me?"

Sharon nodded immediately. "Yes, yes. I won't. Don't worry."

Melody pinched her little face and sighed. "You are so young. How can you become a married woman at such a tender age?"

Sharon also sighed. "I still can't believe that

I'm married."

It was a fantasy for her to marry a man of Stanley's status.

Melody cupped her chin and looked at Sharon. "What kind of a person your husband is?"

Sharon nodded and said, "He's not bad."

At least, he had never delayed the payment of her father's medical expenses, so this was very good. As for other aspects, Sharon did not give any comment.

"Have you fallen in love with each other?"

Melody was a straightforward person, so she would ask anything that popped up in her mind.

Sharon halted when she was eating, then blinked her big eyes and said, "A little bit. He is handsome, rich, and has a good temper. Which woman doesn't like this kind of man?"

Melody was skeptical.

Sharon was getting better and better at avoiding sensitive questions.

She clearly knew that she meant the love between men and women, but she gave her a vague answer.

"Stanley is good in all aspects, so it's normal that you have a crush on him." After a pause, she added, "In addition to his and Jewel's gossip."

Sharon smiled and said, "After spending a year together and having done the deed, it's impossible to not have developed any feelings for him unless my heart is made of stone."

Melody raised her eyebrows. "But."

"But the gossip between him and Jewel has tied a knot in my heart. Whenever I think about it, I have no other feelings for him whatsoever. Also, I will divorce him in the future. One year later, when I graduate and have the ability to make my own living, I will divorce him."

Melody frowned. "You have such an intention?"

"Yes. I always feel that I owe him a lot, and I feel very uncomfortable. Sometimes, I feel very inferior in front of him. I dare not to talk back to him, lose my temper, nor disobey him. Whatever he says, I will do it. If I resist, I am afraid that I will piss him off, and enrage him, which my dad will have to face the consequences."

To Sharon, Melody was not an outsider. She could spill all her thoughts and dilemma to her. "It is a bad feeling. I'm just like a puppet and he is the puppeteer who is holding my strings. I have to do whatever he wants me to do."

Twitching her mouth bitterly, Sharon lost her appetite. "So, how could I have any feelings about him?"

Moreover, a man like Stanley couldn't really fall in love with a woman like her, could they?

She was too unremarkable that any woman on the street was better than her.

She was no longer a naive and young girl who fantasized about love.

An excellent man like Stanley should be matched by an excellent woman.

She had self-conscience.

Sharon couldn't go to work for the past few days due to all the shenanigans. She dropped by the office in the afternoon and told the manager her situation.

She thought the manager would be angry, but he didn't. After chiding her, he let her go to work.

Sharon felt that she was lucky, and of course, she was grateful.

Other colleagues were also very concerned about her. When they heard that she had been in the hospital these two days and found that she did have a little injury on her face, they all believed her and sympathized with her predicament.

Sharon did not dare to tell them that she actually had a conflict with Jewel. She simply told them that she bumped into a thief and had some accidents, and let the matter past quietly.

Since she was absent for two days, there were a lot of documents piled up on her desk. She volunteered to work overtime tonight to finish her work.

Before leaving, Skye patted her on the shoulder. "It's not safe to go back too late. Finish your work early and leave early. Don't work too hard."

"Okay, I know."

"Then I'll go first."

"Bye. Be careful on the road."

After saying goodbye to Skye, Sharon started working again. In fact, her job was very simple. She just needed to input some documents into the computer and then classified them into different folders.

She didn't apply for this position when she first joined Jones Group but Troy assigned her to this department eventually.

She wanted to transfer to another department, but she couldn't find a good time to speak.

Although this department was not her ideal department, her colleagues treated her very well, and she was happy to get along with them.

Suddenly, her phone that she put on the table beeped. There was an incoming message. She turned her head and saw that it was from... Mr. Frazier.

Liam?

"Are you off work?"

Sharon took the phone and typed the words on the keyboard one by one, replying, "No, I'm working overtime."

"Have you had dinner?"

"Yep. I had sandwiches to fill the belly, cheap yet delicious."

Liam replied with a smile, "I'm thinking of treating you to dinner."

Sharon replied with a mischievous pokingtongue-out emoji, "Again? I said I'll pay for it when we have dinner next time."

"Well, come out for dinner then. Your treat."

Sharon stared at the text message, dumbfounded.

Why did she feel as if she had jumped into a trap that she had dug?

"No, I have to work overtime. Let's take a rain check on the dinner next time."

After replying to the message, Sharon went to work again. She didn't get a reply after waiting for a long time, so she wondered if he was angry or he felt that she was stingy and didn't want to pay for a meal.

Liam grabbed the phone and frowned. There was agitation on his handsome face. He had never failed to ask a woman out.

He had thought that women like Sharon were easy to hook up with, but she was beyond his expectation.

Back then, it was a piece of cake for him to tackle Jewel.

However, Sharon was a bit tricky.

It was already 9:30 pm when Sharon returned home. Hazel saw her entering the house alone and asked suspiciously, "Didn't Young Master come back with you?"

Sharon changed her shoes and went to the living room. "Has he not come back yet?"

"No." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Maybe he's a little busy. Don't worry, Hazel. It's normal for a businessman to have some social engagement. It's okay if he comes back late."

Hazel looked at her with a peculiar expression.

Sharon touched her face. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"It's the first time that I've seen a woman who doesn't worry about her husband's coming home late. Madam, you're so kind and generous."

Although Hazel was taking Stanley's side and she knew about the relationship between Stanley and Jewel, she felt sorry for this naive Madam.

Sharon was stunned for a moment and then smiled. She took Hazel's arm and went in, comforting her instead, "He used to stay out all the time. I'm used to it. It's okay."

Hazel sighed and said, "The past is the past, but we're talking about the present."

"Uh, what's the difference between the past and the present?"

"Although I'm old, I'm not blind. In the past, you and the Young Master were not as close as you are now. It's understandable that you didn't care about his whereabouts in the past, but..."
