Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 78

In the private room.

Jackson came to Stanley who was drinking alone, snatched the glass from his hand when he was about to drink it, and finished the wine. "You've drunk a lot. Aren't you afraid of stomach discomfort?"

Stanley raised his head and said, "I didn't drink much. Jimmy drinks some of these."

"It seems that you are not drunk since you can still distinguish these things clearly."

Stanley stared at him without a word.

He was not drunk at all. At most, he was a little tipsy and his head was slightly aching.

"I heard from Howard that you have married?" Jackson asked, swirling the wine glass in his hand.

Stanley leaned back and said with a smile, "You were on a mission abroad on my wedding day, then I hadn't had a chance to inform you, so that's all."

"Did you marry her because you love her?"

Stanley shook his head. "No."

Jackson frowned and said, "Why do you marry her then? Is it just a game?"

"...I need a wife. She is still a naive student who is as pure as snow, and I don't need a strong wife. I only need a good and obedient woman."

So it was best to marry her.

Jackson knew Stanley very well. He knew that Stanley would not do anything without a purpose, so he squinted and asked, "There are many innocent girls out there, but why her?"

Stanley lowered his eyes slightly, and the shadow covered his handsome face. He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said with a faint smile, "What why? I happened to meet her, so I married her."

"Is that so?" Jackson didn't believe it.

Stanley nodded. "Yes."

It was obvious that he didn't want to say more. Jackson shrugged his shoulders and stopped his questioning.

When Sharon came to the club, she was overwhelmed by the luxurious decoration here, uttering that it was indeed the place where only the rich people could come. For people like her, she would not be able to come in for the rest of her life if it was not for Anthony's lead.

As they exited the elevator, Anthony took her in the direction of the private room. While walking, he said, "Madam, in addition to Boss, there are several of his friends in the room." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Sharon was stunned. "There are other people?"

She thought that she was only meeting Stanley alone.

"Yes." Anthony stopped, opened the door of the private room, and offered a word of comfort, "They're not some random people. There's Captain Hudson and the other two are the boss's childhood friends. They are all good friends. Don't be afraid, Madam."

Taking a deep breath, Sharon smiled and said, "Okay, I'm not afraid."

She would cross the bridge when she came to it.

After entering the spacious and luxurious room, there were some scantily clad women dancing. On the sofa in the corner, there was a woman, wearing only a bikini, dancing and wiggling erotically on a man's legs.

Sharon stood there in embarrassment, and her face was as red as a tomato. It was her first time seeing such an erotic scene, so she couldn't help but blush timidly.

"Ahem." Anthony cleared his throat, obviously getting used to this kind of scene. "Madam, that's Mr. Perkins. He is still single, so he likes this kind of entertainment."

Sharon didn't know what to say.

"As it turns out, Dr. Perkins is so indiscreet about his private life," she thought.

She thought of his image when he was in the doctor's white robe the other day, who looked rather professional and mild-mannered.

It was not until today that the profligacy behavior of these rich young men she read in the entertainment gossip magazine materialized before her eyes.

This was a real eye-opener.

She suddenly thought of Stanley. Would he do the same thing during her absence?

He must have similar profligacy behavior since he was from a wealthy family too, right?

"Oh, Anthony, you're here."

A playful voice resonated which pulled Sharon back to her senses, "Hey, Sharon, you're here. Come here."

It was Jimmy who spoke.

Sharon looked in the direction where the sound came from and was immediately drawn to a scorching glare.

Stanley's glare was fixated on her with a frown and an unpleasant expression. "What are you doing here?"

What the hell?

Didn't he ask her to come because he missed her?

Sharon didn't want to lose her temper as there were so many people present and they were all staring at her, so she said softly, "Anthony said that you asked me to come here."

"Anthony Charles!" Stanley glanced at him coldly.

Anthony hid behind Sharon, his face grimacing in fear. "Boss, Captain Hudson asked me to pick Madam up. I have nothing to do with this. Please don't blame me for this."

Sharon was stunned and thought, "What? It's not Stanley who asked me to come here?"

As soon as Stanley looked over, Jimmy immediately rebelled and told him everything, "It's Jackson. He said he wanted to see your wife."

"This group of rebellious cowards!" Jackson thought while glaring at Jimmy.

Jimmy rubbed his nose sheepishly while looking back at Jackson with an apparent plead in his eyes. Jackson knew that Jimmy was afraid that Stanley would lose his temper over this since it was a horrible sight if Stanley got angry.

Thinking of this, he took the blame and said, "Yes, it's me who asked them to make the call. Don't be upset. I didn't know you got married, and since I have the time today, what's wrong with asking your wife to come to sit with us for a while?"

Stanley was still grimacing unhappily. This was a men's gathering. What was she, a woman, here for?

Moreover, the indiscreet Howard might put on a live "sex show" later, which they were used to it but she had never seen such an erotic scene before!

This was not the place where a simple girl like her should stay.

Therefore, Stanley said very coldly, "Anthony, send her back!"

Before Anthony could speak, Sharon, who was standing beside him, suddenly took a step forward and stubbornly retorted, "If you want to go back, go ahead, but I'm not going anywhere!"

The private room became quiet all of a sudden.

It was eerily quiet.

Everyone's eyes fell on Sharon. Jimmy was stunned. He had always thought that Sharon was the submissive one in this relationship, but he didn't know that she would rebel.

Jackson looked at Stanley in amusement as if he said to him with his gaze, "Have eggs on your face, haven't you? Didn't you say that you married a good and obedient wife? From the looks of it, she is not that obedient after all."

Jimmy and Howard held back their laughter, while Stanley's face was livid with rage. This little witch was stubborn again to rebel against him!

Sharon felt so good to talk back to Stanley. She snorted triumphantly, strode over, and sat down on the sofa!

Since she had come, she would not leave. He could leave whenever he liked!

Stanley's brows twitched in anger. Looking at Sharon's pretty side profile, he felt like he wanted to slap her for being rebellious.

After sitting down, Sharon directly ignored Stanley, tilted her head, and said to Jimmy next to him, "Mr. Hudson, we meet again."

Jimmy smiled and said, "Miss Cruz, how is your friend doing? Is she okay?"

"Melody is fine. She's resting in the hospital. By the way, Mr. Hudson, you're the one who paid for the hospitalization expenses, right? Please give me your contact number and I'll pay you back some other day."

Jimmy was the one who took them out of the police station and sent them directly to the hospital. He also covered all the expenses which she had not yet had time to pay them back.
