Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 102

Anthony shivered as he walked over. "Boss."

"What's going on? Tell me." Stanley turned to look at him.

Anthony immediately told him the whole story. "At that time, I was not here, and two bodyguards were guarding at the door. Madam suddenly said that she wanted to eat ice cream, but the hospital didn't sell it, so one of the bodyguards went out to buy it. When they came back, they pushed the door open and went in. She... disappeared."

Stanley's piercing gazes swept over. "She disappeared out of thin air?"

Anthony didn't dare to look at him. "I-1 don't know..."

Stanley looked around the ward expressionlessly. Suddenly, he thought of something and went straight to the window. He pushed the window open and looked out. This was the seventh floor. It was very unlikely if Sharon wanted to escape through the window.

The window and the door of the ward were the only exits. There was someone guarding outside. Except for a window, there was no other way to go.

If she didn't choose to slip out of the window, where would she be?

There was a possibility in his mind. Stanley's eyes moved to the bed. Was it a ruse?

At the same time, Shawn, who had been standing by the side and had not spoken, suddenly said, "Someone is guarding outside the door, but the patient is missing. I want to know how you handled it after you opened the door and found out that she has disappeared?"

He leisurely leaned against the wall and looked at the two bodyguards.

The bodyguards were stunned when they heard this. One of them thought for a moment and answered, "We looked at the bathroom but found no one. Then we began to check every ward, and even every corner of the corridor..."

However, they couldn't find her at all, not even a person with a similar figure. They wondered how Miss Cruz had done to disappear without a trace.

Shawn smiled and raised his hand to point at the bed. "Had you checked the bottom of the bed?"

Not only the two bodyguards, but even

Anthony was stunned.

That's right!

Why didn't they check the bottom of the bed?

Anthony turned to look at Stanley, who was donning a clam expression.

Shawn looked at him with an amusing look in his eyes. "Your wife is quite smart. She knows how to set up a ruse."

Moreover, it was not easy to successfully deceive two bodyguards.

There was no expression on Stanley's face, but in his heart, he gritted his teeth and thought, "That is not smart! It's sneaky!"

Anthony was quick to react. "I'll go to the Director and get the surveillance video."

After that, he immediately strode out.

Stanley walked up to Shawn. He had not slept well for two days, and now something like this happened, so he was really tired. He reached out and rubbed his eyebrows. "I'm sorry, I've let you see me making a fool of myself."

Leaning against the wall, Shawn put his hands in his pockets and smiled casually. "I think it's interesting. Your wife's behavior reminds me of a person in the past." "Oh?"

Stanley raised his eyebrows. "Your treasure?"

Shawn looked down to the floor, curled his lips into a smile, and nodded. "Yes. She was timid since she was a child and was afraid of thunder. Whenever it rained, she would squeeze herself under the bed and refused to come out. I'd chided her several times but she didn't change her habit. It was a headache."

Stanley chuckled. Thinking of Sharon's drunkenness last time, she also went under the bed and refused to come out. He wondered what was playing in her mind.

"You said you were childhood sweethearts, didn't you?"

Shawn's thoughts drifted away. He started to miss her so greatly that his heart began to ache. His Adam's apple bobbed and he answered casually, "Sort of."

After a pause, he asked again, "Do you have cigarettes?"

Seeing that he didn't look well, Stanley didn't say anything and silently handed the cigarette box to him.

"We can't smoke here. I'll go to the smoking area."

Shawn walked out. "Let me know after you're done with your business."

Stanley nodded.

Anthony came back as soon as Shawn left. He entered the ward with the copy of the footage in his hand. "Boss, this is the surveillance videos that just came out."

Stanley took it. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Stanley looked down at the video on the phone. After watching the video, he was so angry that he laughed. "Have you watched the video?"

Anthony nodded and said, "I've seen a little."

"Do you know what to do?"

"Yes, I'll go and find out where Miss Graham lives."

Stanley gave the phone back to Anthony, and Anthony put it into his pocket and turned around to go out.

In the video, Sharon did play a ruse. She hid under the bed and sneaked out of the bed when the bodyguards went away in a panic to look for her. Then she slipped out of the hospital.

Someone came to pick her up at the hospital entrance. It was Melody.

The two of them did not stay at the entrance for long. They stopped a taxi and left quickly.

Stanley didn't expect that Sharon's petty trick managed to fool so many people.

He shouldn't have underestimated her.

Anthony went to check the location of Melody's residence. Stanley thought for a moment and walked toward Shawn.

Before he approached him, he heard him answering the phone, "She agreed to meet up? Good. You arrange the time and venue. I'll see her later."

Stanley stood where he was and didn't say a word, waiting for Shawn to finish his phone call.

Shawn soon realized that Stanley was here, so he quickly finished the conversation with Peter and ended the call.

"Sorry, it seems that I can't go with you to search for your wife later." Shawn waved the phone in his hand. "I have something to deal with."

Stanley nodded and said, "Go ahead and get busy. I can handle it."

Shawn felt a little pity. "I was hoping to meet your wife today, but I didn't think I'd get that chance."

"As long as you are in Beachmarsh City, you will have plenty of opportunities in the future." "You're right." Shawn smiled. After smoking the cigarette in his hand, he raised his chin and said, "Did you find your wife?"

"She left with her friend. I'll go and pick her up later." Stanley massaged his forehead. "She's been giving me all kinds of troubles these days."

Shawn looked at Stanley. Although he had a disgusted expression on his face, there was love deep in his eyes that probably he himself did not notice it.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore. I still have something to do, so I have to go first."

"Okay," said Stanley.

When Shawn came to the restaurant, Peter had been waiting for a long time. "Young Master, Ms. Murray is waiting inside."

"Did she come alone?" Shawn narrowed his eyes and asked.

Peter nodded. "Yes."

"That's good."

Peter was suspicious and didn't understand what Shawn meant.

When Shawn came to the table by the window, he saw only Evonne Murray, and Cecilia didn't come with her.

When Cecilia schemed against him, he did not do anything to her because she was Sharon's sister.

It was better if she did not come to him, or he would not let her go.

Evonne saw Shawn walking over from a distance. His manner and temperament were all extraordinary with branded attire and accessories. He must be very rich and powerful now to afford such a lavish outfit.

In just a few years, the poor boy in the Cruz Family had already made great achievements.

She couldn't underestimate him now.

Thinking of this, Evonne smiled graciously. "Shawn, it's been a long time since we last met."

Shawn pulled out the chair, sat opposite her, and said lightly, "Ms. Murray."

If it weren't for the fact that Evonne was Sharon's biological mother, he wouldn't have bothered with this woman.

He had witnessed how she abandoned her husband and daughter.

Sensing his indifference, Evonne didn't care and simply said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years. Shawn, you're doing very good right now. I didn't misjudge you at all. I know that you'll become a very outstanding person one day."

"Oh?" Shawn smiled faintly. "But I remember how you pointed at my nose, cursing me as a poor beggar who took advantage of the Cruz Family."

Evonne was extremely embarrassed. "Shawn, you must have made a mistake. How could I say that?"

Evonne didn't even remember what she had said back then, but she didn't expect that Shawn could still remember it clearly.

Shawn smiled and did not continue this topic. "Ms. Murray, I invite you out today because I want to ask you something."

"Ahem." Evonne cleared her throat, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip slowly. Then, she said, "What's the matter, Shawn?"

"I want to know everything about Sharon. I know that she is in Beachmarsh City, and I also know that she is studying at Big Valley University, but it's the summer break now. They don't know her address, and she doesn't live in the school."

Shawn said this and looked at her deeply. "You are Sharon's biological mother. You must know where she is now."

Evonne laughed. "Shawn, how can you be so sure that I know where Sharon is? What if I don't?"

Shawn just gave her a hard time as soon as he came, which was embarrassing her. How could she let him know about Sharon so easily?

Shawn narrowed her eyes and raised his hand. Peter, who was standing by the side, immediately came over and handed him a check.

"I know everything has a price tag, so I want to buy Sharon's information from you." Shawn pushed the check over and said, "Please accept this little gift from me."

Evonne looked down and was shocked by the number on the check. She didn't expect him to be so generous.

Cascade Enterprise was now in need of money. Although this small amount of money wasn't enough to cover the debt, every penny counted.

After thinking about it, Evonne immediately put the check into her pocket, and said with a smile, "Shawn, you are too generous. Even if you don't give this money, I will tell you about Sharon."

Her fickleness was still the same as before. Shawn didn't expose her, instead, he smiled and said, "Then please proceed."

"In fact, I haven't had much contact with Sharon these years. I just met her by chance some time ago." Evonne thought for a while and said, "Shawn, you have no idea but Sharon has changed a lot these years. She is no longer the innocent little girl in the past."

Shawn's heart tightened. "What happens to her?"

"She's fine. It's just..." Evonne was about to say something but stopped on second thought.

Shawn raised his voice. "Ms. Murray, if you have something to say, please tell me directly!"

"Okay, I'll be frank. If I'm not mistaken, Sharon got herself a sugar daddy."

Evonne donned a heartbroken expression on her face. "I didn't expect her to walk on this path and be a mistress of a rich man..."

"What did you say?"

Shawn's face was gloomy and scary. "Sharon is a mistress?"

Evonne nodded. "Yes, I saw with my own eyes that she entered a luxury car and went to a high-end restaurant for dinner. These are all evidence."

Shawn's thin lips were tightly pursed. His

hands on his knees were clenched into fists, and there were clear veins on the back of his hands. His eyes were brewing terrible emotions.
