Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 437

Sharon took the opportunity to break free and run forward.

"Get down!"

Stanley's roar rang out.

Immediately, she dropped to the ground. Following that, a loud gunshot sound pierced through the air. Turning around, she saw that Isai had actually been shot. Hurriedly, Sharon staggered up and ran, but she felt her hair yanked by someone after only running two steps. In pain, she hissed out loud at the same time Isai howled in shock and anger, "You plotted against me!"

Isai then started dragging Sharon, wanting to take her into the log cabin. Sharon protested and struggled out of his grasp. In the midst of resisting, she felt Isai put something in her hands. Subconsciously, Sharon wanted to throw it away. However, she heard a panic-stricken cry from Stanley. "Don't move, Sharon!"

Instinctively, Sharon took a look at her hand, and right away, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

It was... a grenade!

"This is a pressure-sensitive grenade. I've just triggered it. Now you have to apply the same force to hold it. If there is a little more or a little less in strength, it will explode," said Isai as he gasped for air. At the end of his speech, he burst into crazy laughter. "How does it feel holding a bomb?"

What a madman!

Sharon's whole body was trembling, but she didn't dare to move even half a step. She stared at the thing in her hand with wide eyes, only to feel her teeth clenching hard. "All of you, don't come over!"

Standing behind Sharon with a gun in his hand, Isai was using her as a shield. Blood flowed from his abdomen as he glared fiercely at Stanley. "Which one of you b*stard shot me?"

Stanley's eyes were fixed on Sharon. He walked towards Sharon step by step, ignoring Isai. "Sharon, look at me...'

Sharon looked up at him perplexedly, and Stanley gave a smile at her. "Don't be afraid. I'll save you."

Sharon began to tear uncontrollably. "I know... I know you will."

"Good girl," Stanley replied. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his back was covered in a cold sweat. "Stay there and don't move. Don't be nervous. Just pretend that the thing in your hand doesn't exist. Don't be afraid, okay?"

Sharon sniffled and nodded. At that moment, she was terrified out of her wits, and she didn't dare to move. Taking in a deep breath, Stanley swept his cold gaze at Isai as he asked, "How do I defuse the bomb?" "Who shot me? Listen, you'd better come out from hiding!" Isai's eyes were full of malicious intent.

The corners of Stanley's mouth were tightly pursed. Suddenly, a movement came from the bushes behind him. Jackson appeared with a small armed and armored team. "Old man, why are you doing this?" "It's you?" Isai's body trembled. He hadn't thought that Jackson would be here as well. "When... when did you come?"

"Half an hour ago."

"Did you fire that shot just now?"

Jackson pointed out, "If you hadn't done such crazy things, I absolutely wouldn't have dared to make a move on you."

Isai's eyes were filled with caution as he looked at Jackson. Others might not know about Jackson, but Isai knew he was powerful, and therefore was extremely cautious of him.

"How did you find this place?" asked Isai.

Jackson didn't respond.

At this time, Stanley felt his patience running out. "Do you think you still have a way out now? Your people have all been killed. And don't think that General Kunba would come back to help you. He'd be lucky if he survived! This small forest has been surrounded. No one can escape, not even you. Let me ask you one last time. How can we defuse the bomb? Don't challenge my patience!"

Stanley's sharp gaze was like an edged sword, cold and devilish. Word by word, he reiterated, "Remove the bomb in Sharon's hand!"

"Tell me how you contacted them." Isai covered his stomach, raised his chin, and looked at Jackson behind him. "If you tell me, maybe I'll defuse the bomb!"

Stanley didn't have a phone in his hand, and there was no signal here. How did he send the message out to get help? Isai couldn't figure it out, no matter how hard he thought.

With a sneer, Stanley took off his jacket to fumble something in the back of his shoulder. In a moment, his hand was holding a little device glistening with blood.

"That's a..." Isai's eyes were wide open, and colors were gradually being drained from his face. "...Military tracking device."

Even if there was no signal in a place without a mobile phone, this kind of tracker could accurately locate the target.

It was surprising that Stanley actually hid this tracker under his skin. It was no wonder that even if he didn't have any communication equipment, Jackson would be able to find his location accurately. Isai wondered if he really lost?

Had he really lost to his son so miserably?

A strong unwillingness flashed through Isai's eyes. Decades of being in power made him unable to accept that he was being chased down like a fugitive. He should be someone who could decide a person's life and death at will, instead of what was happening to him now, where he could lose his life at any minute.

He had never been afraid of anything in his life. Even with the evidence of his crime found and when he was forcibly taken away, he had never been as panic-stricken as he was now.

Now, this current fear spread deep into his bones, and it was all pervasive. He was almost suffocating.

No! He couldn't just die like this!

He wanted to regain his power and trample these people. He wanted them to look up to him and pray to him under his feet!

There was a strong sense of reluctance in Isai's eyes. His face was twisted, his expression ferocious, and his eyes were bloodshot. "This type of bomb can't be defused. You can only trigger it. The only way for her to get rid of it is to stop holding it."

However, if Sharon loosened her grip, the bomb would immediately explode. By then, she would be blown into pieces.

As soon as Isai explained it, Stanley's pupils constricted a little. All the muscles in his body tightened; blue veins engorged on his forehead, and his anger gushed out.

Sharon was also shocked to the core when she heard him. F*ck, this crazy piece of sh*t actually did this! She couldn't help but wonder what did she do in her past life to deserve this.

Gnashing her teeth, she wished she could throw the bomb in her hand directly at Isai to blast his insides out.

But if she really did that, the bomb would immediately explode as soon as she let go of it, right?

At this moment, Sharon truly felt an unprecedented sense of despair.

Her face was pale, and her eyes were red-rimmed as she looked at Stanley. She seemed to be saying goodbye, causing Stanley's heart to throb in dismay. He didn't dare to lock eyes with Sharon, so he turned his face away to look at Jackson.

Jackson's job was to deal with dangerous situations like this. Stanley thought he might have a solution, but Jackson only shook his head at him. "He's right. There's no way to defuse this kind of bomb." Hearing the confirmation, Stanley trembled all over, and his voice was hoarse. "Sharon..."

Sharon couldn't bear to look at him. If she continued, she might start wailing. Biting her lip, she said to him, "Take good care of our children!"

Immediately, Stanley's expression fiercely changed. "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to die with him!"
