Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 430

"Both of them are dead?"

"No, just one of them."

Sharon's eyes widened as she listened to the conversation. She had always known that Stanley had tricks up his sleeve, but this was the first time that Stanley had said such unconcealed words in front of her.

Sharon knew that he was angry now, in fact, he was furious. Pursing her lips, she grabbed his arm and asked, "Who was the one who died?"

Before Stanley could say anything, Ryan walked out of the room. As she saw him keeping his gun, she felt a little confused.

She knew in her heart that Stanley was bad-tempered and a little cold, but he had never killed anyone in front of her, and he certainly did not let her know about it as well.

Now that he was telling these things to Ryan in front of her, it was probably because Stanley was really pissed off at Shawn for kidnapping her twice. Therefore he really wanted to kill her, to vent his anger. When Ryan came out of the wooden house and happened to hear Sharon ask "who died", he opened his mouth in an attempt to reply. But just as he was about to do so, there were sounds of footsteps in the forest not far away.

A moment later, Shawn emerged with a few people. The moment he saw Stanley, Shawn stopped walking, and then the ambiance around changed drastically.

The few people by Shawn's side subtlely took out their guns and stared warily at the people who had suddenly appeared.

As Shawn had yet to say anything, they didn't make a move.

And the other party didn't seem to want to make the first move, so the two groups of people just stared at each other for a while.

In the end, it was Shawn who slowly walked out from the shadows. He didn't even look at Stanley. Instead, he went straight to Sharon and asked, "You want to go with him?" Without giving it any thought, Sharon stood behind Stanley. What else would she have done if not follow Stanley? Stay here?

This action obviously pleased Stanley, and his stern face relaxed a little.

"How many times did he put you in danger? Do you still want to go with him?" Shawn stared at Sharon with burning eyes. "I can protect you. Don't go with him, Sharon."

As soon as Shawn finished speaking, Sharon clearly felt Stanley went cold, his eyes showed strong intent of wanting to kill Shawn.

He had wanted to deal with Shawn for a long time. Maybe tonight was the night, moreover, it was such a good opportunity to do so, and Stanley would not take it for granted.

Sharon also hoped that Shawn would die so that she could avenge her father in the nether world. However, Shawn was not afraid of death, and he did not guard against Sharon at all. Even if Sharon wanted to kill him, he would have given her a knife!

He had saved her twice, and everything he did was for her own good... Still, she wanted to kill him, even though he truly cared for her.

Sharon felt ironic but powerless.

Gritting her teeth, Sharon didn't know what to do.

She looked at Shawn coldly. "I won't follow you. You should give up. I want to kill you and avenge my father. It's not like you don't know this! You did save my life twice, but it can't offset the fact that you killed my father yourself!"

Shawn looked at her with a smile. "Okay, if you want to kill me, then do it."

Glaring at him, Sharon was unable to say a single word. She had never seen someone like him!

"She might not kill you. But do you think I'd hesitate in doing so?"

As Stanley's voice has gone cold, he raised his arm and pointed the gun directly at Shawn's forehead.

However, Shawn looked at Sharon as if he didn't see the gun. He wanted to see the expression on Sharon's face, but to his dismay, she was emotionless, thus making him feel stunned. He knew her well; although she hated him very much, he had saved her several times, which made her waver slightly... Now, Sharon felt contradictory. She hated him, but at the same time, she could not ignore the fact of how good he was to her.

If he had been so bad, she might have really stabbed him to death. But he was so good to her that he didn't even care about his own life. This put pressure on her.

Shawn and Sharon had lived together for several years. He knew her way of doing things and character very well.

She had lacked maternal love since she was young, so she was cautious with people. This was also the reason why she fell in love with Stanley. When he was not around, Stanley lived together with her, helped her father, treated her well, and was everything she wanted, so she naturally fell in love with Stanley.

Shawn had originally believed that as long as Stanley wasn't in the picture, he would use the same method to make Sharon fall in love with him. As long as there was enough time, one day, Sharon would forge Stanley.

But now, it seemed that he wouldn't have the opportunity.

He didn't even cast a glance at the gun on his forehead when he took another step towards Sharon. His eyes were still burning with passion. "Sharon, come with me!"

Sharon took a step back and said in a low voice, "Stop, Shawn!"

Didn't he know that if he had taken another step forward, Stanley would have taken his life?

Shawn chuckled and still took a step forward. When he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the slight sound of Stanley pulling the trigger. When he looked into Stanley's eyes, he saw a strong intention to kill in his eyes.

In the next second, there was a loud gunshot, Stanley had heartlessly shot him.

The bullet penetrated Shawn's body, and the smell of blood immediately filled the air.

Sharon's eyes widened, her fingers trembled as she gasped in shock. Just as she was about to speak, several voices rang out from the depths of the forest. Soon, a few black shadows emerged. When those people saw them, they immediately raised their guns and started shooting.

"Bang bang bang..."

The sound of the bullet was like firecrackers.

"Let's go!"

Stanley used all his strength to drag Sharon into the log cabin behind them.

"Get down!"

Sharon lay still on the ground and bit her lip so hard so she wouldn't scream. Above her head, there were pieces of shrapnel and wood flying across, and she could hear the sounds of deafening gunshots. Just then, the wooden house was kicked open by someone from the outside. Someone came in and closed the door again.

It was Shawn.

How could he still be alive?

Just now, Stanley had shot him, but before Sharon could even react, she had been pulled into the log cabin by Stanley. She thought to herself that this time, Shawn definitely wouldn't be able to survive. Who would've thought that he... was actually still alive?

The gunshots stopped outside the room. Sharon raised her head, not knowing if it was because there were no bullets left, or if it was because of something else. She looked up and saw Stanley's deep eyes. She licked her lips and got up from the ground, but she didn't dare to stand up. She carefully moved to his side and asked, "You... didn't kill him?" Expressionless, Stanley asked, "You want me to kill him?"

Sharon stared at him in stupefaction.

Stanley no longer spoke. He pushed her to Ryan's side and ordered, "Protect her with your own life. Don't let anything happen to her."

Staring vigilantly at the night sky outside, Ryan then nodded heavily. "Understood."

Shawn stood against the wall, with one hand covering his bleeding arm and the other holding a gun. His chest heaved up and down, and he was emotional.

"Mr. Shawn!"

William's voice suddenly sounded. Sharon looked over and was taken aback again. William... didn't die?
