Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 226

"Get up, take a few sips to calm down."

Melody came in with a cup and pulled Sharon up from the bed.

Accepting it, Sharon took two sips.

"Are you going home today?"

"No." Sharon shook her head. "He will not return anyway, and there's no way to get through his phone. Therefore, I'll stay here and accompany you."

Thinking for a while, Melody said, "Okay, just stay."

Nodding her head, Sharon placed the cup aside and lay down again. She looked at the ceiling motionlessly for a while, then suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong?"

Sitting up in silence, then Sharon strode outside, and said, "Forget it, I think I'd better go back."

Stunned for a moment before shrugging her shoulders. Melody suppressed her laughter and said, "Yeah. What if your husband returns and doesn't see you?"

Though Sharon did not say anything, her pace sped up.

Looking at that, Melody shook her head and laughed.

Leaving the Graham house, Sharon directly took a cab to Rebecca's residence. Stanley had brought her there before, so she remembered the route.

After arriving, she immediately knocked on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

Slamming on the door loudly, "Stanley Jones, come out! I know you are inside, don't hide in there!"

After shouting for a long time, not only did no one respond to the door, but there was also no movement inside.

Anxious, Sharon wanted to kick the door with her feet.

What a b*stard!

Not only was he missing, but also his phone was turned off as well. What the hell was he doing?

For a long time, she knocked on the door stubbornly. Later, the neighbor's door opened. "Who are you looking for?"

Feeling a little awkward, Sharon said, "I'm sorry. I'm a friend of the owner. I can’t get in touch with her. I'm afraid that something might have happened to her."

"Oh, I see. I think you should call the police."

Sharon was rendered speechless.

"But I haven't seen anyone return to this house for a few days. Usually, I could still hear the movements in this house when I came back. But in the past two or three days, there seemed to be no movement at all, not even footsteps. Perhaps no one was in the house."

No one?

Sharon was startled.

If so, then Stanley and Rebecca were not here? Then where did they go?

The neighbor was still talking about something. But, Sharon had no mood to listen, so she turned around and left.

Walking like a zombie, she returned to her residence. Upon seeing that the courtyard was empty, Sharon's heart sank.

It was already 9 p.m., and Stanley still had not returned.

Usually, if he came back, the car was parked at the front of the yard.

Taking out the key, Sharon opened the door. There was no one in the living room. But, there was the sound of running water that came from the kitchen, and Hazel was cooking.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Hazel turned to say, "Mr. Jones?"

"It's me."

Sharon opened her mouth.

Coming out of the kitchen, Hazel wiped her hands on her apron. "Have you had dinner?"

With no appetite, Sharon said, "I'm not hungry." After a pause, she still stubbornly asked, "Hazel, Stanley had not returned yet?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I know now. Don't work too late. I'm a little tired, so I'll go up first."

When Sharon returned to the bedroom, her emotions were out of control, and her eyes turn red.

She found Stanley's photo on her phone, and pointed at him while she scolded, "If you have the guts, then never come back!"

The photo was taken in the mall on their last date. Stanley held her in his arms, and his eyes were full of affection.

Carefully, Sharon had always kept it in her phone.

After she had cursed the man in the photo for some time. In the end, Sharon was tired and fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, when she opened her eyes, as expected, her eyes were swollen again.

Bitterly, the first thing she did was to call him.

His phone was still turned off.

Furious, Sharon wanted to throw away her phone. At last, she was able to suppress her anger and suddenly thought of something. She found Anthony's phone number and quickly dialed it.

Anthony was working for Stanley 24 hours a day. He must know where Stanley was.

"Beep beep beep..."

The phone dialed through.

Happiness started to fill Sharon's heart, finally the phone got it through. It wasn't turned off.

However...

A moment later, her expression turned gloomy again. Anthony did not answer her call.

Gnashing her teeth in anger, she continued to call him as if she was possessed.

After three more times, she finally gave up.

She was sure that Anthony would not pick up her call.

In the end, she sent a threatening message. "Anthony Charles, if you have the gut, never answer my phone again!" Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

The text message was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no response at all.

Angrily, Sharon threw away her phone. Then, she got up, and went to take a shower. After washing up, she did not even have time to eat breakfast. With that, she took a bottle of milk and headed straight for the headquarters of the Jones Group.

In the elevator, she met Skye. Sharon silently prayed to herself, "She didn't see me..."

"Hey, Sharon!"

Skye was surprised. "Why are you here?"

With no choice, Sharon raised her head. "Uh, I have some matters to deal with. I'll leave once I'm done."

"What's the matter? Tell me. Maybe I can lend you a hand."

Hurriedly, Sharon waved her hand. "There's no need. It's just a piece of cake. Skye, I don't need your help."

"All right then." There were only two people in the elevator. Skye pressed the button to the fifth floor, then looked at the other button that lit up, and asked curiously, "Sharon, what do you want to see Mr. Jones for?"

Sharon was taken aback. "Skye, how did you know that I was looking for Stanley... Mr. Jones?"

"You pressed the 28th floor. Isn't the 28th floor Mr. Jones office?"

Almost forgetting about this, Sharon said vaguely, "It's just a small matter, a small matter..."

"Then you won't be able to see Mr. Jones today."

Hearing that, Sharon raised her head: "Why?"

"Not just Mr. Jones, you can't even meet Charles. They haven't been to the company for two days, and there was no news of what's going on. Documents have piled up in the past few days waiting for Mr. Jones' signatures."

Hearing that, Sharon's mind was buzzing. She was startled...

Stanley and Anthony were not in the company? Then where did they go?

They were two big men, it was impossible for them to disappear without any trace.

Though, Sharon was still a little skeptical. After Skye left, she went to the 28th floor alone. Upon reaching, she was met with the secretary of Stanley. The secretary stopped her. "Miss, do you have an appointment?"

Turning her head, Sharon looked at her. "Mr. Jones brought me to his office for lunch some time ago. I know you remember me. I want to meet Stanley. Where is he?"

The secretary did not recognize her and said hesitantly, "Mr. Jones is not here. He has not been here these days. It's possible that he's on a business trip. You can come and look for him in a few days. Currently, there's no one in the office, so you can't see him even if you go in."

Not believing what the secretary said, Sharon rushed in.

As a result... The secretary was right. Indeed, there was no one in the office.

Out of the Jones Group, Sharon was wandering in the streets. Not ready to give up, she continued to call Stanley.

Still, it remained the same, the phone was turned off.

Standing on the street, more and more people walking past her, except for the figure she was familiar with.

Stanley, where exactly are you?

At this time, on the other side of the ocean, in Mathines, Rebecca was holding her phone as she says to the person on the phone, "Mr. Wells, I have brought Stanley's dead body to you. When do you want to meet?"
