Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 406

After Stanley finished speaking, the small room became exceptionally quiet.

At this moment, Isai kept silent and pursed his lips, as if he was considering Stanley's words. His expression made it difficult for others to guess what he was thinking. Even Stanley couldn't guess his mind.

After a long time, Isai spoke, "Are you seriously using this kind of shitty bait on me? Stanley, you've disappointed me. I thought you would use a more brilliant method to get the evidence from me." As soon as Stanley heard that, his face darkened.

"Because you haven't gotten any substantial evidence from me. That's why you have been holding me until now. And your people are useless as they were not able to get any info from me. Because of that, those who support you can't hold back anymore that they now want you to persuade me as you're my son, making me drop my guard. Am I right?"

"Unfortunately, they have miscalculated. What they didn't know was that you are the person that I need to be wary of the most." Isai placed both of his hands on the table with his gaze as sharp as a blade. "I'm your father! How dare you send me here and worked with the others to tackle me?! You are indeed more ruthless than me!"

"Shut up!" Stanley sneered as he became angry. "Father? You don't deserve to be my father! Have you ever seen a father who wants to kill his own son and grandson, as well as his daughter-in-law? You don't even care about my mother's life, and yet you still address yourself as my father? What a joke?!" Raising his eyebrows, Isai finally understood. "Now, I know the reason you and the others sent me here. It was because of Sharon's death, wasn't it? You thought I was the one who killed her, so you wanted to avenge her."

The next second, Stanley's expression froze and his body stiffened.

"You're truly an infatuated person." Isai laughed out loud. "You're the only one who is an affectionate and loyal man in the Jones Family. Why was that woman worthy of your love? She did not come from a privileged family and was even not the prettiest woman out there. She didn't even possess the qualifications to stand by your side, and yet you are so loyal to her. Why?"

Upon hearing that, Stanley looked at Isai expressionlessly. "Someone like you will never understand because you're such a cruel person with no empathy."

"Didn't we agree that you married her for her father's organs? She would be useless once you got her father's organs to save your mother's life." Isai was trying to let Stanley recall the past. "You have made this promise with me before. Don't you remember?"

Back then, Isai had planned to kill Sharon by creating a random accident when he found her father. In that way, he would have less trouble in the future. However, Stanley had stopped him by saving Sharon from the danger. What surprised him the most was that Stanley even married her in the end.

At the thought of this, Isai sighed. "It's a pity that you married her as her presence had caused a lot of tragedy. She was a scourge! I'm so relieved that she is finally dead now."

Second later, with a 'bang' sound, Stanley violently threw a punch at Isai, and immediately, blood oozed out from Isai's nose.

Wiping the blood casually, Isai was not angry. Instead, he laughed even more happily. He finally discovered Stanley's weakness. He knew that once a person had a weakness, he would no longer be indestructible.

At this time, with his face darkened, Stanley sat on the chair with his chest heaving.

However, Isai ignored his expression and continued, "I heard that she was murdered two months ago. Although you have tried your best to look for her, you weren't able to find her. And now two months have passed. You couldn't even find her body. How does it feel to lose your most beloved one? Does it feel good?"

"Even without any evidence, you acted so guickly to arrest me. You did it all because of your selfishness, didn't you? You thought that Sharon's death had something to do with me, so in a fit of anger, you joined forces with those who wanted to bring me down to take revenge on me. But, you know what? You were too impatient. You didn't even have any evidence to show before attacking me. That's totally not worth it by doing so."

If he could restrain himself and attack him a few years later with the destructive evidence, Isai would've died for sure.

He was so stupid to show his own weakness so soon just for a woman!

"Through this attack, I got to know those who had betrayed me to support you. The shot you have taken this time not only would not bring any harm to me, but also you are giving me a chance to fight back indirectly. In fact, those who had betrayed me are greedy people. Are you sure that you won't end up like me if you cooperate with them?"

Hearing that, Stanley pursed his lips tightly without saying a single word.

When Isai saw his reaction, he shrugged indifferently. "I didn't intend for you to answer my questions. I was just trying to warn you that having a strong backer doesn't mean you'll have a stable life. They are just using you. As soon as they get what they want, they'll betray you right away. I know very well what they're up to."

"Is that so?" Stanley laughed sarcastically. "You know it so well because you're that kind of person, aren't you?"

"I'll forget about what you did to me earlier, so you may leave now." Chuckling, Isai looked at Stanley, who still appeared unfriendly. Still, Isai acted nothing like him in trouble as he continued playfully. "You can't get anything from me anyway. Go now. I have said what I want to say."

Sitting on the chair, Stanley was obviously in a bad mood. His hands that were placed on the table clenched into fists, causing the blue veins to bulge on the back of his hands.

After a long while, he asked, "Are you really not the one who set up Sharon?"

"I did want her to die, but not to the extreme that I needed to deal with her personally. She was a mere weak woman. For the sake of my two grandchildren, I did not harm her," Isai spoke with a poker face. "I only know that she went missing with Shawn. As for whether she is still alive, that's something I don't know. Shawn's failure this time has caused him a lot of enemies. If Sharon got involved with him, I'm afraid she would be in grave danger."

Hearing that, Stanley didn't respond. Then, pushing the chair aside, he got up and was about to leave.

At the door, Isai suddenly spoke behind Stanley, "She is dead now. You don't have to take things too hard and destroy yourself. After all, she was just a woman."

When he finished his words, he shifted his gaze to Stanley's hair.

His hair had turned white in one night.

Meanwhile, Stanley still didn't say anything before opening the door and walked out.

It wasn't until the door closed that his expression changed again. The anger on his face suddenly ebbed away like the tide.

After leaving the room, he went into another room, in which sat a middle-aged man in a suit. Outside the room, that man's secretary was about to leave after serving him a cup of tea. When the secretary saw Stanley, he smiled at him, greeting. "Mr. Jones, are you done?"
