Chapter 279


    Liam''s eyes slowly narrowed as he sized her up. "Sharon, what''s going on with you?"


    It would be fine if he did not ask. Now that the question was out, Sharonpletely exploded, "Your


    father killed my father, and I''m going to get justice for my father!"


    Liam frowned. "What do you mean?"


    She knew Liam would definitely not help her if she did not make herself clear, so she told him


    everything that had happened yesterday. And when he heard that, he widened his eyes, his face full


    of shock. Only after some time that he could digest what he had just heard.


    Suddenly, Liam came to a realization. "So, that''s why you came here. You didn''t juste to see


    me. You wanted to provoke me so that I would be blinded by hate and stand on your side, am I


    right?"


    Pressing the corners of her mouth together, Sharon remained silent.


    Then Liam raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "Do you really have the guts to kill someone?"


    "For my father''s sake, I will do anything!"


    "Have you not thought of calling the police after knowing your father was killed by them?"


    Sharon stared straight at him. "Would it be useful?"


    Liam looked back at her, and after some time, he shook his head. "No. Isai''s power is so great that


    it''s far from what you can even imagine. Even if you expose this matter to the highest authority, he


    would not be harmed in the slightest. In fact, in the end, your life might even be in danger. Likely,


    even Stanley won''t be able to protect you. Sharon, listen to my advice. I''m not lying to you, nor am I


    trying to coax you. I''m just thinking for you from the perspective of a friend. As for your father''s


    matter, other than submitting to your fate, you can only ept it."


    As far as Isai could stretch out his hand, that was how much power he could hold. Outsiders would


    not know, but anyone who had a bit of power and fame knew that the Jones Family was not


    someone they could afford to provoke. Most importantly, no one could afford to offend Isai Jones.


    "I won''t submit to fate!" Sharon red at Liam with red eyes. "What about your Mom? Why don''t


    you ept your fate then?"


    At once, Liam was at a loss for words.


    With that, Sharon''s tears suddenly fell. She tightly grabbed Liam''s hand. "I''m begging you. Help me,


    please. Other than you, I can''t find anyone else who can help me with this. Liam, as long as you


    promise me this, I''ll do anything you want."


    "Including divorcing Stanley to be with me?" Liam looked at her meaningfully.


    Sharon was stupefied, and she stared at him in shock.


    Liam curled his lips. "If you don''t want to..."


    "I''m willing!" Sharon interrupted him and nodded. "I''m willing!"


    Liamughed, "Truly, this is getting more and more interesting. Oh, I wonder if Stanley would go


    mad if he knew that you''re willing to be with me! For all these years, I''ve never seen him go crazy.


    Sharon, I admire you more and more. For the sake of forcing Stanley to the verge of madness, you


    can be considered as the first woman to do so."


    Sharon''s eyshes drooped as she asked him in a trembling voice, "In that case, does that mean


    you''ve agreed to help me?"


    "I can help you, but I need to say this clearly in advance."


    Hearing that, Sharon raised her head, and her eyes were sparkling. "What? Just say it!"


    "I can help you get what you want, and I can even take you to the Jones Family. But Sharon, you


    need to know clearly how many bodyguards there are protecting Isai Jones. There''s a chance of


    you getting shot by his loyal bodyguard before you can even get close to him!"


    "I''m not afraid of dying!"


    "Alright!" Liamughed. "With these words of yours, there''s nothing left for me to object to."


    "What are you guys talking about?"


    Suddenly, a gloomy and cold voice came from behind Sharon, which caused her body to stiffen


    subconsciously.


    Liam raised his head and looked over. Arching his brows, he looked at Sharon. "Looks like we''re


    going to end our conversation here. Call me when you''ve thought it through."


    As he spoke, Liam stood up. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, something urred to


    him. He bent down to look at Sharon and lowered his voice, saying, "My future Mrs. Frazier, I''m


    leaving now. Aren''t you going to hug me?"


    The moment Sharon raised her eyes, a ck shadow shed past her, and the sound of a fist


    smashing down something could be heard. Liam let out a muffled groan as he retreated.


    Stanley looked at him coldly, "Get lost!"


    While rubbing his bloody nose, Liamughed, "Why are you sote? We''ve already finished what


    we''ve wanted to say. Do you want to know what I told her?"


    Sharon raised his head in shock. She could not believe that Liam would betray her so quickly.


    It was as if Liam did not see the warning look in her eyes. With a faint smile on his face, he looked


    at Stanley, "Just ask me whenever you want to know, I can tell you anytime."


    Stanley opened his thin lips and spat out a few words, "What did she say to you?"


    "Hahaha!" Liamughed out loud. "Stanley, I can''t believe you''re begging me? Wow! This feels


    amazing! I can tell you, but you need to give me something in exchange."


    Liam''s gaze was burning. "I''ve been thinking about yourpany for a long time. If I want your


    company in exchange for Sharon''s words, will you be able to do it?"


    Hearing that, Stanley pressed his lips together, and the look on his face was as sharp as a de.


    Hearing no response, Liam curled his lips and said, "Well, it makes sense that you don''t agree. How


    can a few words be equal to a business empire? Even if you love Sharon, you can''t use arge


    company as an exchange, can you? So, you can''t me me for not telling you what Sharon told


    me, right?"


    After Liam finished speaking, he turned around and left with a smirk on his face.


    Stanley''s expression was horrifying. He turned around and stared at Sharon fiercely. Then, he


    pulled her up from her chair and asked in a cold and stern voice, "Why did you meet him?"


    Suddenly, Sharon threw herself into his arms and held his waist tightly, "Honey, I want to go home!"


    Stunned, Stanley thought to himself, "What was she doing? Moments ago, she has vowed to


    divorce him, but now she turned into a clingy kitten?" No matter how smart Stanley was, he could


    not figure out what Sharon was thinking at this time.


    "Sharon, what exactly did you talk to Liam about?" He did not fall for her trap and continued to ask


    with a cold expression on his face.


    However, Sharon only nudged his chest. "I''m so tired, and sleepy. I want to go home. Can you take


    me home, honey? Please?"


    Now that he saw the way she lowered her voice and begged him, what else could Stanley say? His


    entire heart softened like jelly. So how could he say no?


    "Okay." Stanley''s deep gaze was fixed on her face. "Sharon, if you want me to do anything, I can


    follow your orders, as long as you don''t divorce me, okay?"


    "Okay." Sharon nodded her head and gave a vague reply. "I want to rest now. I want to go home


    and eat. I''m so hungry."


    A faint smile finally appeared on Stanley''s face. "Serves you right for not eating breakfast."


    As he spoke, he took her hand and was about to leave. Sharon had just taken two steps when she


    felt a little dizzy. Stanley nervously looked over and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "I''m fine. Maybe it''s because I haven''t eaten, so I''m a little dizzy."


    Stanley pursed his lips. Without demur, he directly lifted her.


    People wereing and going in the mall, and his action was undoubtedly eyecatching. At first,


    Sharon blushed and wanted to get down, but Stanley held her tightly. "Don''t move."


    In the end, Sharon gave in and stopped struggling. She let him do whatever he pleases. Seeing


    how Stanley cherished her so much, she thought to herself that this might be thest time. Thest


    time he hugged her so intimately.


    In the future, there might not be a chance to meet him again, and also the baby in her belly... She


    reached out and touched her belly. "Baby, I''m sorry. You and I have no fate. It''s possible that before


    you even get to look at this world, and..."


    As she thought of this, Sharon''s heart began to throb.


    Stanley noticed her trembling body. As they reached the car, he carried her into the car. Panicking,


    he asked, "Why are you crying?"


    Sharon buried her face in his chest, and her tears were drenching his shirt. She shook her head,


    "No... nothing, I''m just... I''m fine..."


    As she was sobbing, her words were intermittent. He could not understand what she was saying.


    No matter how Stanley coaxed her, her tears continued to fall. So much so that when they reached


    home, she was still weeping in his embrace.


    Finally, after he had brought her back to the bedroom, he put her down on the bed and coaxed her


    in a soft voice. Slowly, Sharon''s sobs stopped.


    Stanley waited for her to calm down. After a while, when he looked down at her again, a smile


    appeared on his face.


    She actually fell asleep crying.


    It was probably because she was exhausted. For the past two days, she had suffered so much,


    which made him feel ufortable.


    As he looked at her, his heart ached with pity. Then he lowered his head to kiss her. On her face, on


    her lips, and her earlobe, he kissed her carefully. Only then did satisfaction fill his heart.


    For the past few days, he thought he was going to lose her. So, he could not sleep for the whole


    night. Now she had returned to his arms and clung to him like before. Thinking about this, he


    gradually grew at ease.


    Once his nerves rxed, exhaustion swept over him. Stanley closed his eyes, and his drowsiness


    arose.


    Suddenly, he shivered and opened his eyes. There was no one in his arms. He turned his head and


    found that he had already slept for half an hour.


    Where was Sharon?


    Stanley''s expression changed. Terrified, he got up to look for her. At this moment, the bedroom door


    was pushed open, and Sharon walked in.


    Stanley strode over with a gloomy expression, "Where did you go?"


    The furious expression on Stanley''s face seemed to have frightened Sharon. Therefore, she raised


    the ss in her hand in a daze. "I was thirsty. So I went down to get some water."


    Stanley''s thin lips pursed tightly. "Why didn''t you wake me up?"


    "You were sleeping so soundly, so I didn''t have the heart to wake you."


    Stanley fell silent. The moment he woke up to find that she was not in his arms, he felt an


    unprecedented sense of nervousness and fear.


    "Are you angry?" Sharon got closer to him and tugged at his clothes. "Don''t be mad. I''ve brought


    you a ss of water too. So, don''t be angry, okay?"


    Stanley sighed softly and pulled her into his embrace. "Never do this again!"


    "Yes," Sharon replied, struggling to break away. "Water... The water is about to spill..."


    In the end, Stanley could not help butugh and took the ss of water in her hand. Only then did


    he realize that he was really thirsty. Without much thought, he drank it all in one gulp. After that, he


    picked her up and sat down on the sofa. Then, he ced her on hisp and held her tightly.


    "Sharon... I want to talk to you about your dad."


    To that, Sharon''s body stiffened, she lowered her eyshes. Then, she turned around and hugged


    his neck as she clung to him. "I don''t want to talk. I want to sleep. Let''s go to bed and sleep, okay?"


    Knowing that he couldn''t force this on her, after a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Alright,


    let''s go to bed. We can talk about it tomorrow."


    Sharon nodded obediently.


    The two of them returned to bed, and soon the drowsiness swept over. Stanley held Sharon in his


    arms and fell asleep again in less than ten minutes.


    In the bedroom, there was only the faint sound of breathing. Suddenly, Sharon opened her eyes.


    Fixing her gaze at Stanley, who was sleeping across from her, she stretched out her hand to touch


    his face. A momentter, she softly spat out, "I''m sorry..."


    In the morning.


    The next day, when Stanley woke up, there was an extraordinarily heavy feeling in his head. Sharon


    was not by his side. He thought that she might have gone down to have breakfast.


    After washing up, he went down, but there was no one in the living room except for some


    movement in the kitchen. Stanley walked over with a frown. "Hazel?"


    Hearing her name, Hazel poked out her head from the kitchen and said, "Mister Stanley, you''re up.


    Where''s Mrs. Jones? I''ve made breakfast. You guys can go and eat now."


    With that, Stanley''s expression changed. "Sharon isn''t on the first floor?"


    Hazel was also surprised. "No... No, she''s not here. I have been busy since the morning. I didn''t


    even notice if she came down. I thought she was still resting upstairs with you..."


    Before Hazel could finish her sentence, Stanley had already turned around and went up the stairs.


    The next thing he did was to take out his phone and called Sharon. To his surprise, her phone was


    in the bedroom. She did not bring it with her. Then, he searched all the rooms, but Sharon was


    nowhere to be found.


    In a panic, Stanley rushed down the stairs. He did not even hear what Hazel was saying as his


    heart was in a state of chaos.


    He called Melody, but Sharon was not with her.


    At first, Stanley did not believe her, so he personally went over to confirm it. Sure enough, Sharon


    was not there.


    "Mr. Stanley, didn''t Sharon go home with you yesterday? I saw that you both were fine aftering


    out of the mall. So, I thought you guys made up. Is she gone again?" Melody asked anxiously.


    In a daze, Stanley thought to himself. "Yes. That was true." He thought that everything was fine as


    well since Sharon had returned to her clingy self. She even flirted with him. So, he thought they


    were fine, but why did she go missing again early this morning?


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Why did he sleep so soundly? Why didn''t he feel anything at all?


    A thought shed through his mind, and he remembered the ss of water Sharon poured for him


    last night...


    As he thought of that, Stanley''s face turned deathly pale. He instantly knew that Sharon drugged his


    water.


    It turned out that she had nned it all along. Stanley felt both angry and hateful. He was scared


    that she would do something to hurt herself, so he was worried about her.


    In the car, he gave Jimmy and Jackson a call and asked them to do everything in their power to find


    Sharon. In the future, he would repay them in great depths.


    When Jimmy and Jackson heard the seriousness in his words, they both epted it.


    After that, Stanley went to her school, to the ces where she might go. He searched all the ces


    where she might be, but still, there was no sign of her.


    During this time, Jimmy called and said, "I''ve checked the surveince outside the road of your vi.


    She took a bus at around 7 o''clock. Later, she arrived in the city. After that, she turned around and


    disappeared. I can''t find her in the surveince. Sorry, Stanley, I can''t find her."


    Stanley silently held the phone in his hand, and his breathing gradually became heavier.


    Not long after, Jackson called as well. "At the current stage, we can''t find her. Beachmarsh City isn''t


    a big city, but it''s not small either. It''s a little difficult to find a person in a few hours. Give me more


    time. I''ll definitely find her."


    "There''s no need." After hearing that, Stanley said this and hung up the phone.


    Now, there was one person who knew where Sharon was.


    The time Stanley has to find Sharon was limited. As now was a special time period, if he could not


    find Sharon within a minute, anything could happen.


    Not long after, Stanley barged straight into Liam''s office after arriving at Fusion Fortune Holdings.


    The secretaries were not able to stop him. Stanley kicked open the office door, and to that, Liam


    raised his head and arched his brows teasingly. "Yo, a rare visitor."


    With a dark expression on his face, Stanley walked up to him and grabbed his cor. "Where''s


    Sharon?"


    "Why are you asking me for your wife?" Liam waved his hand away. "Can''t you see that I have a


    guest?"


    As Liam spoke, he pointed at the person sitting on the sofa next to him. The person was


    dumbfounded as he did not know what was going on.


    "What did you say to Sharon yesterday?" Stanley did not want to waste any time, so he asked


    directly.


    Liam narrowed his eyes. "Didn''t you bring her back yesterday? Didn''t she tell you?"


    "Tell me your conditions." Stanleyid out his cards to him. "On what terms would you tell me where


    she is?"


    Liam smiled, "Didn''t I tell you yesterday at the mall? If you want to know what Sharon told me, then


    you have to trade it with your business empire."


    Jones Group was Stanley''s blood, sweat, and tears. For a long time, Liam had always wanted to


    destroy him. Now that he had such a good opportunity, how could he not seize it?


    Although he really wanted to get his hands on Jones Group, it was merely a thought. No one could


    make such an exchange unless they were out of their minds.


    "Well, since you can''t do it, then please get out." Liam crossed his hands on the office table, his


    deep peach blossom eyes narrowed. "Even if you flip over my ce, you won''t be able to find your


    wife, because Sharon isn''t here anyway. I advise you not to waste your time here. If you have the


    energy, then you might as well think about how to find her..."


    "Okay, I agree."


    Stanley''s low and dull voice sounded.


    Liam stopped, his eyes widened, and he stood up from his chair in shock. He looked at Stanley as if


    he was looking at a madman, "What did you say? You agree to this?"


    "If you want Jones Group, I can give it to you." Stanley''s expression did not change, and he


    repeated the same thing. "So, tell me. Where is Sharon?"


    He was out of his mind.


    Liam looked at him in disbelief. He felt as if Stanley had gone mad. No one in their right mind would


    do something like this!


    Stanley looked at him impatiently. "Didn''t you hear what I said?"


    Of course, he heard it, but he was so shocked that he couldn''t speak for a while. Liam took a few


    deep breaths and suppressed the excitement in his heart. Then, he raised his eyebrows and said,


    "Well, I don''t like to do things verbally. Call yourpany now and ask them to bring the transfer


    contract. Then, transfer all your stocks under Jones Group to my name. Let''s take it slow and easy.


    As long as all the contracts are signed, I will tell you where Sharon is at once."


    Without any hesitation, Stanley made several phone calls.


    Right now, how could Liam still have the mood to entertain any outsiders? He immediately drove


    away the guest sitting on the couch. After that, he stood in the corner as he sized up Stanley.


    It was difficult for any normal human being to understand why Stanley would do this.


    After all, she was just a woman. How could shepare with such a hugepany?


    Liam''s eyes narrowed. He couldn''t figure out what Stanley was thinking.


    As expected, Stanley was very efficient. In less than an hour, all the contracts were sent over and


    ced on Liam''s desk. Stanley picked up his pen and was about to sign when Liam blurted out,


    "Are you sure you want to do this?"


    Stanley nced at him. "You''re scared to ept it?"


    "What a joke!" Liam sneered. Although, he still found it hard to believe that Stanley would actually


    do something like this. Feeling a little frustrated, he said, "Hurry up and sign it. Yourpany is


    mine now!"


    Without the slightest hesitation, Stanley started signing the papers.
