Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 65

"Jewel Russell?"

Stanley was her backup and connection, wasn't he?

Jimmy frowned and thought, "Why could Stanley abuse his power to suppress others just for a female celebrity?" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Did he really have to do that?

Jimmy nodded and said, "Take me to see what the two women look like. Even the Jones Family is involved in this matter. Is their background very strong?"

"No, they don't have any strong background, just two ordinary women," The police officer said while leading the way.

Jimmy sneered. He was rather impressed that Jewel would make such a big scene although the two women were just nobody.

He knew that Stanley had a rather unusual relationship with Jewel, and he also knew that Stanley pampered her very much, but he didn't have to spoil her as much as he did. If Stanley continued to do this, he would drag his reputation down with it.

Only the incompetent man would abuse his power in suppressing others!

When they came to the detention room, Jimmy leaned against the wall and smoked. The police opened the door and said, "Captain Hudson, they're inside."

Jimmy nodded and took a deep breath while stubbing out the cigarette. He raised his eyes and glanced over casually. The woman inside the iron gate heard the noise, and she also turned her head and looked over.

Her eyes were swollen from crying, and she was looking at him in grief, looking extremely pitiful and haggard.

After seeing the woman's face clearly, Jimmy was so shocked that he choked on his cigarette smoke and blurted out loud, "What the f**k!"

In Jones Group.

After the meeting, Stanley came out of the meeting room. Anthony stood outside the door and reported the schedule directly, "There will be a dinner tonight with Director Hunt. Miss Russell called half an hour ago and said that you must call her after you finish the meeting."

"Anything else?"

"Mr. Wilson came up just now. It seemed that he had something to say, but he went down when you were in the conference room." Anthony glanced at Stanley's side profile and added sheepishly, "Maybe it's about Madam."

Stanley stopped walking, the deep gaze sweeping over. Anthony knew that he had misspoken, so he pursed his lips and took two steps back, avoiding his gaze.

Stanley returned to his office. Before he closed the door, his deep voice drifted into Anthony's ears. "Ask Troy to come up."

Anthony muttered, "Okay."

After shutting the door, Anthony mumbled behind Stanley's back, "He should drop his act. He has been keeping up a straight face all morning and giving the entire high- and middle- level executives a good scolding during the meeting. It is obvious that he is in a bad mood."

There was only one reason why Stanley was in a bad mood. Sharon was missing.

Her phone was turned off and she didn't come home all night. He couldn't find her in her father's ward. He didn't know where she went.

Troy came very quickly and greeted Stanley who was standing in front of the French window respectfully, "Mr. Jones."

Stanley turned around and asked, "Anthony said you're looking for me."

Troy wanted to speak but stopped on second thought.

"Speak!" he said with a serious expression.

Troy immediately uttered, "You told me that I don't need to report Miss Cruz's affairs in the future, but she has not come to the office for two days, and she hasn't asked for leave. No one can get in touch with her, so I..."

Although he was told that he didn't have to report Sharon's whereabouts and activities, if the relationship between Sharon and Stanley was really unusual, and something happened to Sharon after she went missing for two days, he might have a chance to get a promotion because of his report.

Standing by the window, Stanley frowned. She didn't even come to work?

Something was terribly wrong!

His eyes darkened. Just as he was about to speak, the door of the office was pushed open and a man walked in. "Am I bothering you?"

Stanley waved his hand, signaling for Troy to go out.

Troy immediately left.

"Jimmy, what are you doing here?" Stanley was not in the mood to see him now, especially after he knew that Sharon had disappeared.

"I'm here to see my buddy, of course!"

Jimmy sniggered and said, "By the way, I'm here to tell you something."

He pulled out the chair and sat down. Stanley was looking gloomy and grumpy. "If you have something to say, just say it!"

The communication between men was always so straightforward and blunt.

"Tsk, tsk. Mr. Jones, you sound so grumpy." Jimmy sat opposite him, wondering what would Stanley's reaction be when he knew that Sharon was in the police station.

Stanley found him annoying, so he directly pressed the button to call the security guard. Cursing quietly, Jimmy grabbed the phone and hung up. "I'm just kidding. Why so serious?"

The cell phone rang, and Stanley glanced at the caller ID with his dark gaze. It was Jewel.

Jimmy leaned back on the comfortable chair, teasing. "Hey, your lover called. Don't you want to pick it up?"

Stanley sneered and answered it. Jewel's soft voice said over the phone, "Stanley, are you done with your work?"

"I was in a meeting when you called me."

She should count her blessing that he would explain to her. She replied in a weak and fragile voice, "I know."

"How are you feeling today?"

"I'm feeling better. It's just that I don't have an appetite... Can you come over and accompany me?"

"I don't have time during the day, so I'll go to see you at night."

"Really? Then I'll wait for you."

It was very quiet in the office. Jimmy listened to their conversation closely and sighed in his heart. The officially- wedded wife was tormented in the police station, yet the lover was served with delicious food and drink, as well as the concern from Stanley...

No matter how Jimmy thought of it, he felt that Sharon was pitiful.

Before hanging up the phone, Jewel seemed to think of something and asked casually, "The lawyer just called me and said that it was you who ordered him to make sure the person who did this to me pay the price, right?"

It was true that he had given special instructions, so he admitted. "Don't worry about this. Just take good care of yourself. I will get justice for you and avenge you."

Jewel was relieved and hummed obediently. So what if she beat Sharon up? Stanley would always pamper her.

Hanging up the phone, Jimmy burst out laughing. He was more and more anticipating to see what Stanley would look like when the truth was revealed.

Jimmy didn't stop laughing until Stanley glared at him irritatingly. He cleared his throat and asked with a pretentious casual tone, "Stanley, I heard that Jewel was injured and sent to the hospital. Do you know who beat her?"

Stanley was expressionless and indifferent. "I don't have time to deal with these trivial matters. I authorize a lawyer to be fully responsible for the case."

"Oh?" Jimmy raised his eyebrows and nodded. "So you don't know who beat Jewel?"

"I don't know!" Stanley frowned. "Why did you come here today anyway?"

Jimmy sighed. "Nothing. I just came here to lament. After all, Sharon is incomparable to Jewel. In your heart, Jewel is more important. Although Sharon is your wife, you have no feelings for her. Just like when she beat Jewel up, you will send her to prison personally..."

Stanley's face suddenly changed. "What did you say?"

Jimmy put his hand on his forehead and said, "I've already made it so clear. Can't you figure it out?"

What should he figure out?

Jimmy was rendered speechless by his lack of response. He spread out his hands and said, "The person who hurt Jewel is Sharon. The person you asked a lawyer to deal with is Sharon. Now the person who is locked up in the police station is Sharon!"
