Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 62

The door opened and a man in black came out of it. He came to Sharon and said, "Miss Cruz."

Sharon looked up and frowned at him. "Who are you?"

The man pointed to the car next to him. "Miss Cruz, Miss Russell is waiting for you."

Miss Russell?

Jewel Russell?

At this moment, Sharon recognized that the man was Jewel's bodyguard whom she saw in the cafe the other day. "What's the matter?" she asked flatly.

The bodyguard pointed at the back door of the car and lowered his voice. "Miss Jewel Russell wants to see you. Please get in the car."

Sure enough, it was Jewel.

"Sorry, you go and tell her that I don't have the time," Sharon refused directly. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Jewel was Stanley's lover. Sharon was not in the mood to have a chat with her now.

"Miss Russell said that she came to you this time because she agrees to your request," the bodyguard responded at ease as if he knew that she would reject him.

Sharon tilted her head in confusion. "What request did I make to her?"

The bodyguard slowly said, "Ten million dollars."

Sharon was stunned, and the scene suddenly flashed across her memory. The first time she met Jewel, Jewel asked her to leave Stanley and even wanted to bribe her to leave Stanley. At that time,

Sharon casually said that she would leave Stanley for ten million.

She nearly forgot about this matter, but she didn't expect that Jewel really wanted to give her ten million!

Ten million...

This was not a small number.

Jewel gave her the money that she couldn't possibly earn in her lifetime. Sure enough, Jewel was very generous.

Jewel sat in the car and waited impatiently. Because this was a public place, it was not convenient for her to get off the car, so she asked the bodyguards to go to Sharon.

It had been almost five minutes, but Sharon hadn't come to her yet.

"She's really good at putting on airs!" Jewel whined.

She was about to lose her patience. When she was about to call the bodyguards to get in the car, the car door was opened.

Jewel tilted her head and looked over. When she saw the person who came in and sat beside her, she sneered and ordered, "Drive."

The bodyguard who got on the car answered, "Yes."

As soon as Sharon sat down, the car suddenly left like an arrow shooting off a bow that sent her flying into the seat. She quickly put on the seat belt and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Melody happened to come over and saw Sharon get into a black BMW.

She was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't she ask me out?"

"Why did she get into someone else's car?"

"Does something happen?"

Without much thought, Melody immediately stopped a taxi and said to the driver, "Sir, please follow the car in front."

Then she took out her mobile phone and called Sharon. As soon as the phone was connected, Melody asked anxiously, "Sharon, where are you?"

Sharon did not overthink it nor she knew her good friend was following her, so she simply said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Melody. I can't have dinner with you tonight. I suddenly received a phone call from my manager, and he asked me to go back to work, so... let's make another arrangement for tomorrow."

The anxious Melody felt so disappointed when she heard this. "Go back to work?"

"Yes. I'm on the bus now. There are a lot of people, so it's not convenient to talk on the phone. I'll call you back later."

With this, Sharon hung up the phone.

Melody trembled with anger as she shouted, "You wicked girl, how dare you lie to me!"

In the BMW.

Sharon put away her mobile phone. Jewel sneered and said, "Miss Cruz, you can tell lies at your will. I must say, you are quite bold and strong mind. Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

Sharon looked at her lazily. "Your bodyguard said that you want to give me ten million, is it true?"

She wasn't in the mood to chat with Jewel, so she went straight to the point.

Jewel raised her hand and looked at her freshly-manicured fingernails. She raised her eyes and said, "I can give you ten million, but what can you give me?"

"Don't you want me to leave Stanley?"

"Will you leave him?" Jewel asked.

Sharon laughed, leaned back into a leisure posture, and said, "Ten million is a lot of money. If I spend it wisely, it's enough for me to spend for the rest of my life. If I'm smart enough and invest in some businesses, maybe I can turn over the ten million into another ten million. Why won't I be happy now that you're willing to have this deal with me? So, thank you, I will make good use of the money."

However, Jewel secretly laughed at Sharon's stupidity. Stanley's net worth was more than ten million. If she could be on his good side, he could give her endless wealth and glory.

This stupid woman was so short-sighted that it made her wonder why did Stanley want her.

Taking out the cheque that had been prepared, Jewel threw it in front of her. "Here's a hundred thousand deposit. When you leave Stanley and Beachmarsh City, I'll give you the rest of the money."

Sharon picked up the cheque and looked at it, smiling slyly like a fox. "Thank you for your generosity, Miss Russell. It's a pleasure doing business with you."

Jewel frowned and looked at her smiling, feeling that there was always a hidden motive behind her smile.

"You're so willing to leave Stanley. Don't you love him?"

Jewel couldn't help but ask.

Keeping the cheque in her pocket, Sharon smiled as she thought of the phone call from last night, and said, "He doesn't deserve my love. Jewel, I advise you that he is not your Mr. Right. If he can be with me, he can be with another woman. Don't waste your love on the wrong person."

Jewel put her hand into the bag and grabbed a recorder pen. She had recorded what had happened in the car with the recorder pen. "I know what kind of person Stanley is. Even if he looks for a woman like you outside, he still loves me from the bottom of his heart. I believe that."

Sharon looked at her and shrugged with a smile. "In that case, I have nothing to say then."

The car was driving toward a very remote place, and there was no street lamp around it. Sharon began to feel a little nervous as she did not know where Jewel took her to.

The car drove on until Jewel opened her mouth and said, "Stop the car."

The bodyguard stopped the car at the side of the road.

"Miss Cruz, please get off the car. I have to go somewhere later."

Sharon looked out of the car and saw several men standing not far away. Each of them was holding a cigarette in their hands. From a distance, the flame of the cigarette was flickering like the eyes of a monster.

Sharon smelt a rat.

Concealing the fear in her heart, Sharon forced a smile and said, "Miss Russell, I'm not familiar with this place. Please send me back to the original place, or I won't get off the car."

"You've already taken the money. I don't think it's necessary for us to continue the conversation, so, you can get lost now."

Jewel didn't even bother to put up her disguise and attempted to kick her out of the car.

Sharon refused to get off the car as the men in the distance obviously had bad intentions. "If you don't want me to ride in your car, fine, but you have to turn around and drop me off in a crowded place!"

Jewel signaled the bodyguard at the front.

The bodyguard nodded, then he immediately got out of the car, went to the back seat, opened the door, and forced Sharon to come down.
