Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 71

Sharon smiled and said, "I took her cheque because I want to collect evidence." This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Melody was stunned. "Evidence? What evidence?"

"To show the evidence to Stanley." Sharon put the cheque back into her pocket. "In the beginning, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and keep her away from me, I asked for ten million from Jewel. Never in my wildest dream did I imagine that she would come to me again and gave me ten million without hesitation."

Melody nodded. "So..."

"So I turned her trick to my own use. I took the cheque and planned to show it to Stanley and let him deal with Jewel."

She would pass the matters that she couldn't solve to Stanley for she was certain he could be able to handle it.

Stanley might not believe her if she simply said that Jewel wanted to bribe her to leave him, but now that she had the cheque, albeit it was only a value of a hundred thousand, he had to believe her.

Sharon wasn't sure if he would really come forward to warn Jewel.

Jewel was a public figure. If Sharon's simple hope was to live a peaceful life and keep herself away from Jewel, she could not do anything about Jewel, but Stanley could.

So this was the reason why she wanted to take the cheque.

Melody sighed and stroke Sharon's face gently. "Well done. This is what you should have done."

Sharon blinked. "But I got you into this mess. I didn't expect that Jewel would have such a vicious intention and brought me into the middle of nowhere... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been locked up and admitted to the hospital."

"Shush. Don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you!" Melody gritted her teeth. "It's all Jewel's fault. She looks so pure and naive on screen but in reality, she is so wicked!"

Although Melody said so, Sharon still felt uneasy.

After all, it all started because of her. If it weren't for her, these things wouldn't have happened.

Outside the ward.

After Stanley smoked two cigarettes, Anthony rushed to the hospital with the surveillance footage that he copied from the police station in his hand. "Boss, here is the footage you asked me to get."

More than half an hour ago, Stanley came out of the ward and called Anthony, ordering him to do this.

"I've downloaded the video to my phone. You can simply click play and watch it."

Anthony stepped aside.

Pursing his lips slightly and leaning his slender body against the wall, Stanley took the phone, clicked on the screen, and the video started playing.

In the video, Jewel pulled Sharon's hair, and Sharon had no choice but to raise her chin because of the agonizing pain. On the spur of the moment, Jewel raised her hand to slap Sharon's face again and again.

Although he couldn't hear any sound, it was a very shocking sight.

Sharon was beaten and fell to the ground, and the bodyguard subdued her petite body. Jewel was very arrogant and domineering that she began to beat and kick Sharon continuously.

Finally, Melody rushed down from the taxi, ran over to protect Sharon, and fought with Jewel. The bodyguard immediately stepped forward to grab Melody, to which she could not move, and Jewel, wearing high heels, kicked hard at Melody's stomach.

Seeing her friend being beaten, Sharon roared in fury, picked up a brick, and aimed it at Jewel...

Jewel's head was bleeding. She was so angry that she called the ambulance and the police right away.

In the end, Sharon and Melody were arrested and taken to the police car.

After watching the video, Stanley handed the mobile phone back to Anthony. He took it and waited for Stanley's next order.

Stanley's expression was extremely calm and aloof.

However, Anthony knew that he was now angry to the brim.

This was how Stanley was. The angrier he was, the more he didn't show it on his face.

Anthony watched the video on his way here, and he couldn't help cursing several times furiously. Jewel had crossed the line this time. Over the years, she became more and more unruly due to Stanley's protection for her.

Sharon was the victim here in suffering Jewel's malicious attack.

"Anthony."

Stanley, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke.

Anthony collected himself and said, "Yes, boss."

"Go and unilaterally terminate the contracts of Jewel's recent activities and advertisements, as well as the TV series and variety shows that she participates in. Cancel all her film booking this year, and she can't accept any work or contract this year without my permission!"

Ordered Stanley in a cold voice.

Anthony was taken aback. For a celebrity, not getting any job or commercial shooting for a year meant that her entertainment career was at the risk of destruction.

It was a warning and lesson to Jewel.

Anthony immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get it done right away."

When Stanley stood at the door of the ward, it was very quiet inside without any sound.

He frowned and opened the door.

When he entered the room, he was stunned.

The two women were both asleep. Sharon was sleeping soundly on the other empty bed. Stanley gently closed the door, came to the bedside, and looked at her earnestly.

Her face was a little swollen. If he did not watch the surveillance footage, he would not know that it was Jewel's doing. Now that he knew it, he felt distressed and heartbroken.

He reached out his hand and caressed Sharon's face gently. He could simply leave a red mark on her soft and tender cheek by pressing it lightly.

Perhaps because she didn't sleep well for two days, she was in a deep slumber at the moment, which she didn't wake up even if he touched her for a while.

"Mr. Jones."

A female voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Stanley turned around. Melody had woke up without him realizing it.

Stanley raised his eyebrows. "What's the matter, Miss Graham?"

"I have a few questions that I want to ask you and I wonder if you can answer me."

"What's the questions?"

Melody fidgeted nervously under his intense gaze. "When you went out just now, Sharon told me about your secret marriage with her."

"Oh?" Stanley was slightly surprised. He had thought that Sharon would not tell anyone around her about it, because she was so repulsed by people knowing about their marriage.

Every time she went out with him, she was nervous for fear of being photographed by the media.

It seemed that Melody and she were really close; she wouldn't tell her anything about it otherwise.

"Sharon said that she was married to you a year ago, but two months ago, I saw your scandal with Jewel on TV." Melody asked directly, "Stanley Jones, did you cheat on Sharon?"

Stanley narrowed his deep eyes and thought, "This woman really dares to ask anything."

"Although you are rich and extraordinary, it doesn't mean that you can be forgiven for having an extramarital affair. It is a huge problem in terms of morality and characteristics. No matter how great you are, cheating on your wife is wrong and unethical!"

When Sharon talked about the relationship between Stanley and Jewel, she spoke of it very vaguely. Melody knew that she didn't want to say much, so she didn't press on her, but she still felt pitiful for her dear friend.

"Sharon is a very good girl. Since you decided to marry her, and..."

Speaking of this, Melody blushed, cleared her throat, and said, "And you've done the deed with her, so you should treat her well. If you want to continue this marriage life with Sharon, you should completely cut your ties with Jewel and don't be a two-timer. If you love Jewel, then you should give up Sharon. Don't be her husband, and have an affair with another woman at the same time. It breaks Sharon's heart!"
