Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) -
Chapter 399
In the dark, Sharon shook off Shawn's hand without a second thought and looked at him coldly, "Shawn Lewis, why do you think I came to see you today?" With a tight frown, Shawn looked at her.
"If it wasn't because I wanted to kill you, do you think I would come over to see you?" Whenever Sharon recalled the scene in the video, her heart would throb as if it was being stirred with a knife. "You have no conscience at all! My dad has always been kind to you, and he even adopted you and treated you like a son for a few years. How could you do that to him?"
The corners of Shawn's mouth were tightly pursed, and the veins on his forehead were protruding.
Indeed, he had many mistakes in his life, and the worst mistake was to kill Sharon's father. However, it was also the mistake that he regretted the least because what he had done back then had succeeded in making Sharon hated the Jones Family.
Although he had originally thought that from that incident onward, Sharon would hate Stanley to death, in the end, she still loved him!
Shawn stared at her face, "Sharon..."
The moment he called out her name, his face suddenly changed.
"They are right in front!"
At that instant, Sharon heard someone's voice coming from behind her, as well as the sounds of footsteps.
Instinctively, she turned around and ran away, but she ran in the other direction because she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Shawn. However, when she turned around, she realized that Shawn was following right behind her.
"They're here to kill you. Don't follow me!"
Then, Sharon recalled what Stanley had told her a few days ago, that many people wanted Shawn's life. If Sharon's guess was correct, these people were here for Shawn.
If Shawn were to be with her, not only would he not be able to help her, but he would also cause harm to her.
All Sharon had at that moment for Shawn was a strong sense of hatred, and she was not worried about him at all. As long as Shawn was far away from her, even if Shawn died, it would have nothing to do with her.
But Shawn not only followed her closely, he even said, "Don't be naive. Although these people are here to kill me, do you think they will let you go?"
They were a bunch of well-trained hitmen. They were cruel when they carried out their mission, and they always made sure to leave no trace behind. If they had taken Shawn's life, they would definitely not leave such an important witness behind.
In fact, Sharon was not dumb either. As soon as he finished his words, she understood that these people would definitely kill her tonight to keep her mouth shut. However, they were currently somewhere in the wilderness, and they were nowhere near the city. Even if she wanted to seek help, there was nowhere to hide.
Fortunately, there were many trees in this small forest. Under the darkness of the night, it was not so easy for those people to kill them.
At that moment, Sharon could only accept her fate and stay with Shawn for the time being, but she still felt anxious in her heart. What if she died here tonight? These people were all merciless, and they definitely wouldn't leave until they killed them.
As she ran, she was wondering when Stanley would discover that she was missing. Would he come to look for her? Did he know that she was here?
Then, she regretted that she came to meet Shawn alone because of a burst of sudden anger and ended up encountering these things.
As Sharon suddenly remembered something, she was ecstasy, because Stanley once said that he installed a tracking device on her phone... However, before she was able to process the joy, her face turned pale again.
The phone... Her phone was not with her because it was in front of her father's tombstone.
Earlier after Shawn finished watching the video, he immediately threw her phone away. When the two fled for their lives, they forgot to pick up the phone. Stanley...
Silently, Sharon chanted his name in her heart.
Only when she thought of him and the two children, her heart would feel much more at ease. They were her only motivation to stay strong.
The footsteps behind her didn't stop, and she had no idea how long she had been running with Shawn. At that moment, Sharon was so exhausted, out of breath, and physically drained that she felt like she would faint anytime soon. Suddenly, Shawn stopped and took her into his arms. Then he turned around and faced the people who were chasing after him.
When Sharon came to her senses, she tried to push him away, but Shawn's deep voice sounded beside her ear, "Don't move!"
"If you want to die, don't drag me along!"
Forcefully, Sharon pushed him away, as she wanted to turn around and keep running, but when she turned around, her face immediately turned pale. There was no way to escape because they had reached the edge of the cliff.
If she continued forward, she would die.
Even if she retreated, she would still die.
Dumfounded, Sharon stood there as she felt as if she was surrounded by tremendous despair.
Was she really going to die like that?
Even if Stanley came to look for her, he probably wouldn't know her exact location.
Even if he could find this place, he probably would only be able to find her dead body...
As she was thinking, Shawn came to her side, held her hand tightly, and whispered, "Sharon, don't be afraid."
However, Sharon's heart was filled with rage and hatred. Forcefully, she tried to shake off his hand, but he held it so tightly that she couldn't get rid of him. Meanwhile, those killers had already caught up with them. The three men had guns in their hands as they looked at them with a poker face and slowly approached them. Step by step, Shawn took Sharon backward.
In the meantime, Stanley had also arrived at the cemetery. From the tracking device, he knew Sharon's precise location, but his heart trembled with every step that he took.
It was because it's been a long time since Sharon last moved. The tracker showed that she had been standing there for a long time.
What was she doing in the cemetery so late at night?
If she wanted to see her father, why didn't she come during the day?
In fact, she was very timid. Wasn't she afraid of coming to such a gloomy place by herself?
With a flashlight, Anthony followed behind Stanley. When they arrived in front of Sharon's father's tombstone, it was empty, and no one was there. Stiffened, Stanley stood rooted to the ground. The temperature in the air was gradually dropping lower, and he felt as if his entire body was freezing. "Boss, it's her phone!"
When Anthony found Sharon's phone lying on the ground, he immediately picked it up.
As Stanley took over the phone, he subconsciously tightened his grip. A cold light suddenly flashed across his eyes in the dark night.
It was a dagger.
There was blood on it.
Immediately, Stanley's pupils contracted, and his throat tightened. In fact, he recognized the dagger from his kitchen. It was a knife made for fruits, but the two children were still young, and Sharon said that it would be dangerous to place it in the living room, so it had always been kept in the kitchen.
Why was it here?
Why was there blood on it?
As Stanley's heart was in a state of panic, he almost lost his ability to think fora short period of time.
The few people who came with great investigation skills said in a low voice, "The footprints here show that it's not just one person, and there are a few of them."
Then, Stanley put away his thoughts, gripped the phone tightly, and followed Sharon's footprints along the way.
On the other side, Sharon was being shielded by Shawn while he used his body to block in front of her. Less than ten meters away, three hitmen were staring at them menacingly as one of them stepped forward and said, "Shawn, please come with us."
It turned out that they wanted to catch him alive.
With a cold gaze, Shawn answered, "Let her go, then I'll go with you."
Then, the man laughed and said, "Do you think you're in a place to bargain now? If I were you, I would hand this woman over so that we can get rid of her as soon as possible."
"Do you think I will come with you if you don't allow her to leave alive?"
Faintly, the man smiled and warned, "Then don't say that I didn't warn you before."
After that, the three of them raised the pistols in their hands and pointed at them.
