Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 75

The other apology?

Not only Jewel but also everyone in the ward was taken aback.

Melody was puzzled.

Sharon was bewildered.

Jewel looked at Stanley and asked, confused, "Stanley, what else is there to apologize?"

As if he didn't hear her, Stanley strode up to Sharon, to which she immediately looked away and lowered her head as he approached her.

Stanley's eyes fell on Sharon's pale face and her clenched fists.

He frowned and knew what she was going through.

She was very angry too.

If it weren't for the fact that there were outsiders in the ward, she would definitely fight with him.

Melody was also enraged, her chest puffing agitatedly. She wanted to climb down from the bed and kick these people out of the ward, but she dared not to.

She did not forget Stanley's status.

A few hours ago, she had talked to Stanley, asking him not to hurt Sharon even if he did not love her.

What about now?

After only a few hours, Stanley, the b*stard, swaggered in here with his lover to insult them!

It was so infuriating!

Stanley fixed his gaze on Sharon. The sunshine shone on her pale face as she stood by the window.

Did she feel so wronged because of an apology?

Stanley felt a heavy breath stuffing his chest, causing inexplicable discomfort. He said directly, "Miss Graham, please come here."

Sharon raised her head and spat out angrily, "Melody didn't do anything wrong. Why do you want her to apologize?"

Jewel realized that the other apology that Stanley meant was for Melody to apologize to her.

Smugness flashed across her eyes as she watched them quietly.

Melody took a few deep breaths to calm down. She patted Sharon's clenched arms and smiled. "It's okay. It's just an apology. It's not a big deal."

She clearly knew that if they did not apologize to Jewel today, there would be no end to this matter.

Melody walked over and came to Jewel. Looking at Jewel's smug face, she sneered and said, "Miss Russell, about what happened the night before yesterday..."

"Miss Graham, I didn't ask you to apologize."

Stanley uttered flatly.

Melody was dumbfounded. "Y-You didn't want me to apologize?"

"When did I ask you to apologize?"

"But just now..."

Halfway through her words, Melody came to her senses. Indeed, from the beginning, he simply asked her to go to him but did not ask her to apologize.

She didn't know what the man wanted to do. She looked at Sharon suspiciously, to which Sharon also frowned and was a little stunned.

"Jewel, apologize to her."

The tall and sturdy Stanley spoke in a clear but unquestionable voice.

As soon as he finished, Jewel was completely in a daze.

Pointing at herself in disbelief, she thought she misheard and raised her voice a little as she spoke, "Stanley, what did you say? Do you want me to apologize to her?"

Why?

This woman did not deserve her apology!

Stanley squinted slightly. "Didn't you hear me? Do you need me to repeat it?"

Jewel almost went berserk and her whole body was shaking. "I won't apologize to her! They should apologize to me!"

"Are you sure you don't want to apologize to her?"

"No!"

"Okay." Stanley nodded and didn't say anything to her. He shouted instead, "Spencer, come here!"

Spencer was the lawyer.

Spencer immediately came over and greeted respectfully, "Mr. Jones."

"Tell Jewel what is the sentence for the charges of intentional assault and attempted murder? In her situation, how many years will she be sentenced?"

Stanley spoke slowly, and there was no emotion in his voice, "The surveillance footage is evidence, and the witnesses are Jewel Russell's bodyguard and Miss Graham. When both witnesses and evidence are present, tell Jewel how many years will she spend in prison?"

Jewel's legs went jelly. If it weren't for the wall behind her, she would have fallen to the ground.

What was Stanley talking about?

No, it was not true! She must have misheard it!

Didn't he come here to get justice for her?

The lawyer was also confused by this situation. "Uh..."

"Don't you know this basic knowledge of the law? How did you get the lawyer's license?"

Stanley's eyes were cold.

Spencer immediately came to his senses and quickly said, "Based on Miss Russell's case, according to the criminal law of our country, she has committed a crime under the charges of intentional assault and attempted murder. In general, for intentional assault, she will be sentenced to a minimum of three years in prison, detention, or parole... As for attempted murder, it is more serious and she will be sentenced to ten years and above..."

Jewel's mind was buzzing and her vision turned black. She couldn't hear anything the lawyer said. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Stanley stood there indifferently, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Haha, now I know why. He brought me here and gave me candy before giving me a slap!" Jewel thought in dismay.

How could he do this to her?

Jewel pushed the lawyer away and questioned him, "Why do you do this to me?"

Stanley glanced at her and smiled. "Are you not happy with how I handle this?"

"No, I'm not!" Her eyes reddened, and tears dropped from her eyes. A smart woman should always learn to shed tears in front of a man. "I am the victim. They should apologize to me! Why should I apologize to them?"

"I've watched the video that night. Both of them were defenseless and no match for you and your bodyguard. What else do I need to say?"

Stanley glared at her coldly.

Jewel trembled vigorously. Recalling that night's incident, she did want to teach Sharon a lesson by leaving her in the middle of nowhere and there were some hooligans nearby...

She also hit them hard...

She opened her mouth and wanted to defend herself, but Stanley's expression completely darkened, calling her name loudly, "Jewel Russell!"

Jewel knew that this was his last warning.

His patience was gone.

She was angry, but there was nothing she could do except to swallow her resentment.

Closing her eyes in dismay, she slowly came to the two women, and blurted, word by word, "It was my fault that day. I shouldn't have hit you. I hope you can forgive me."

Melody recovered from the shock. She snorted and said, "Miss Russell, do you finally realize how wicked you are?"

Jewel gritted her teeth and endured her insult. "I'm sorry. I was so angry that I was out of my mind."

Melody rolled her eyes at her and ignored her.

Since she had suffered enough today, Jewel turned around and wanted to leave. She didn't want to stay in this humiliating place any longer.

"Wait a minute," Stanley called her calmly. "You'll compensate Miss Graham for her hospitalization and medical expenses, emotional distress compensation, and personal injury settlement. If the compensation check does not arrive at Miss Graham's hand before 5 o'clock tomorrow, the court subpoena will be sent to your house directly."

Stanley gave her the last blow that was utterly cold and ruthless.

Jewel almost fainted. She gritted her teeth and turned to leave.

The lawyer also took the opportunity to get out.

The ward was quiet again.

Stanley turned around and walked over.

Sharon looked up in a daze and saw a tall and sturdy man with handsome facial features walking toward her step by step.
