Chapter 273
"You can try telling her. I won''t stop you, but Shawn, have you thought about the consequences?"
Stanley retracted his cold gaze and said.
Shawn narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
"My biggest fear is that Sharon would know about my initial purpose in marrying her. That''s my only
weakness. If you removed this weakness of mine, my biggest fear would be gone. And what do you
think I''d do then? You should know that once a person loses their biggest fear, they can do terrible,
terrible things." Stanley''s expression was indifferent. "Shawn, you don''t know what dreadful things
I''m capable of doing."
This was a warning from Stanley. It was impossible that Shawn did not understand. With that, he
held his phone tightly, and the veins on his forehead exploded. "So, are you nning to end it all
with me? No matter what, you won''t divorce her?"
"I will never divorce Sharon in my life."
Although Stanley''s tone was light, it was a tone that could not be easily swayed.
Shawn''s face was gloomy. "Aren''t you afraid that I''ll tell Sharon right now?"
With a scoff, Stanley hung up the phone without saying anything.
Hearing the beeping sound from the other end of the line, Shawn angrily tossed his phone. Just
then, his assistant, who was sending in a document, saw him losing his temper. Shocked, he called
out, "Mr... Mr. Lewis?"
The expression on Shawn''s face was unstable, and his chest was heaving. Fine! "This is how you
want to do it, huh? I''ll y along with your little games, Stanley Jones!"
After a long while, Shawn got up and picked up his phone. The screen was broken into pieces, but it
was still useable. Then, he searched for Sharon''s number and dialed it.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is busy. Please..."
The phone dialed through, but no one answered.
Without giving up, Shawn continued calling. But still, no one answered.
This time, he calmed down and thought about it carefully. Sharon not answering his call was
probably Stanley''s arrangement. When he coldly snorted, he suddenly thought of a person. After a
moment of consideration, he gestured for his assistant. "Put the stuff down, and go out first."
Immediately, the assistant leave the files before slipping off.
Shawn was searching for a number through the broken screen, and there was a trace of struggle in
his eyes. In the end, thinking of Sharon, he did not hesitate and called the number directly.
Soon, the phone was connected. Then, a hoary voice answered, "Hello. Who''s this?"
"Mr. Tillman," Shawn smiled, "Is Mr. Isai Jones there? I have something to talk to him about."
The person on the other end paused for a while before asking, "Sir, may I know who am I speaking
to?"
"My surname is Lewis, and I visited himst time, but he was busy, and I didn''t get to see him yet."
Shawn did not waste time and said directly, "I want to meet Mister Jones because I need to talk to
him about Mrs. Ember Jones''s condition. I know a way to cure her. So do help me pass this
message to him."
Again, Oscar was silent for a very long time before he sounded, "Mr. Lewis, right? Could you hold
on for a moment? I''ll go report it."
A smile slowly rose on Shawn''s face. "It''s no trouble at all. Please go ahead."
In the Jones Group.
After calling Shawn, Stanely pressed the office phone line and asked for Anthony. When Anthony
came in, Stanley looked up from the documents and asked directly, "Have you contacted the Lewis
Family?" Immediately, Anthony understood. "Logen Lewis had already been contacted. He was
looking forward to your call." Following that, he took out his phone and handed it over. "I have saved
his phone number. You can contact him directly."
Logen was Shawn''s uncle. Before Shawn returned to the Lewis Family, he was the one in charge of
the family business.
When Shawn returned, he was considered a threat. Even though Logen had used various methods
to get rid of him, he never seeded.
To regain control of the Lewis Family, Shawn almost offended everyone in the older generation. In
the past few years, Shawn''s power had grown bigger and bigger, even surpassing Logen. Although
Logen had always hated this nephew, there was nothing he could do about it.
When he suddenly received a phone call from Stanley, who showed the intention of cooperating
with him, Logen was ecstatic. The Jones was an influential family in Beachmarsh City. If he could
get their support, even if they could not kill Shawn, they could seriously hurt him for once.
"Why would Mr. Jones suddenly think of cooperating with me?" As Logen was an experienced
businessman, so when Stanley asked to cooperate, he somehow felt suspicious.
Indifferently, Stanley said, "There''s a saying I believe that you have heard before, Mr. Lewis."
"Oh, what''s that?"
"The enemy of an enemy is a friend. Not only is it feasible on the battlefield, but I think the same
applies when ites to business."
Immediately, Logen understood what he meant. With that, he beamed, "Why did Shawn choose to
offend the Jones family? Now he has officially be enemies with you, huh. Mr. Jones, you want
to use me to get rid of Shawn, of course, I''m willing. However, after the matter is done, the Lewis
Family''s business is nning to develop in Beachmarsh City. I hope that when the timees,
you''ll spare us some kindness."
The agreement had yet to be reached, but his greedy idea had already been exposed. Stanley
sneered in his heart. Sooner orter, the Lewis Family would one day copse in the hands of such
a man.
After all, he still needed to use this guy in theing days, so Stanley was patient enough to say a
few polite words to him.
Seeing Stanley put away the phone, Anthony felt a little confused. "If you want to deal with Shawn,
why did you need the help of the Lewis Family when you can handle it yourself?"
This was Beachmarsh City, the territory of the Jones Family. Of course, he could easily defeat
Shawn.
Stanley smiled faintly. "Let them bite off each other''s asses for a period of time. I have my own
ns."
Anthony knew that this time, Stanley was going to be ruthless against Shawn. With that, he
responded with a "yes" and retreated.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
In the evening, when Stanley returned home, Sharon was not around. He immediately creased his
brows. Seeing that Stanley''s expression was bad, Hazel hurriedly stepped forward to say, "Mrs.
Jones went to the hospital to visit Ember. It''s about time for her to return..."
As soon as her voice fell, the door opened, and Sharon''s voice came from the entryway, "I''m home!"
Sharon was lowering her head as she changed her shoes. Then, a shadow cast in front of her.
When she raised her head to take a look, she was pulled into a hug.
"Uh..." Sharon was startled by the sudden action.
With a hint of anger, Stanley said, "I told you not to leave the house for the next few days. Why
didn''t you listen?"
"I... I went to see mom." Sharon did not expect his big reaction. Then, she patted him on the
shoulder tofort him. "Come on, don''t worry. I''m just pregnant. Going out for a while would not
do any harm. I''m fine."
Sharon thought that he was worried about the child in her belly, so she exined, "Shawn called me
today, but I did not pick up and ignored him. He stopped calling me after that. My love, don''t worry.
I''ll protect the child in my belly. Don''t be so nervous. Look, I''m fine. I''m doing great."
Speaking of which, she came out of his embrace and acted as if she was about to jump. Her action
made Stanley''s face instantly turned pale. "Behave!"
"Okay." Sharon stuck out her tongue and held his hand. Then, they walked into the living room.
