Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 208

Harvey listened with satisfaction. "Remember the purpose of your return this time is not only to kill Stanley, but also to destroy him and his family. Only then can I be satisfied!"

Rebecca leaned against the wall, her sharp fingernails digging into her palm. She suppressed all of her emotions and calmly replied, "I understand."

She was so obedient and well-behaved, which made Harvey feel suspicious. "Stanley is your old lover. Are you really willing to turn against him?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course."

"The truth is I'm not willing."

"Rebecca, you..."

"But for the people I love, I will do all these." Rebecca interrupted him indifferently, "So no matter how difficult it is, I will do it."

Harvey snorted and said, "It's good that you understand. If you don't follow my instructions, you know what will be the consequences!"

"Yes..." Rebecca almost bit her gums to pieces. "I'll do as you say, Mr. Wells."

Harvey laughed and said, "No matter how smart he is, he would never think that you and I were partners, nor did he think that you came back to kill him this time!"

Rebecca closed her eyes, and the anger in her chest was brewing. She didn't want to listen to Harvey, but he had something on her, so she had to do as he said.

"It’s been a long time since I saw..."

"Bang!”

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why didn’t you look properly as you walked?"

Someone shouted.

Rebecca's heart skipped a beat. Without further ado, she rushed to the entrance of the washroom. She saw a woman who had just entered the washroom cursing at the door.

"What's the matter?" Rebecca hung up the phone and went up to ask.

The woman rubbed her shoulders and said, "Who knows? When I was about to come in, someone rushed out and almost knocked me to the ground as if she had no eyes."

Rebecca narrowed her eyes and asked, "What did she look like?" 'She looked pretty young. Is she your friend?" "No, I don't know her. I’m just asking. Thank you."

The woman waved her hand and hurried to go to the toilet.

Rebecca stood where she was for a while. Thinking that she didn't reveal anything just now, she pursed her lips with her head low and sent a text message to Harvey. After tidying up her clothes, she went out.

By the time she came back to the restaurant, Stanley had yet to return. Meanwhile, Sharon was sitting on a chair, drinking juice, looking unperturbed.

Rebecca pulled out a chair and sat down. "Miss Cruz, did you go to the washroom just now?"

She asked directly.

Sharon looked up at her and replied, "Nope. I didn't feel the need to go to the toilet. Why would I be there?"

Rebecca stared at her for a while and said with a smile, "Right."

Sharon lowered her head and didn't look at her. She was just drinking a glass of water, as if she was very thirsty.

After a long time, Stanley finally came back after the call. He pulled out a chair and sat down. Then, he looked at the two quiet women and asked, "What's wrong? Nothing to talk about?"

Rebecca smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with Miss Cruz, so I don't know what to say."

Sharon suddenly raised her head and looked at Rebecca with a burning gaze, "By the way, Miss Lambert, there's one thing I want to ask you about."

"What's the matter?"

"Have you always been abroad for seven years?"

Rebecca glanced at Stanley. He wanted to see if he would speak for her, but he didn't.

She pursed her lips and nodded. "Yes."

"Oh, which country? Lofrana? Ucros? Or Vashal?"

"Lofrana."

"Lofrana is very big. Which province were you at? Have you always been alone in Lofrana all these years?"

"Yes."

"Was there no one you knew with you?"

"Nope."

"Miss Lambert..."

Rebecca finally couldn't stand it anymore. She raised her head and looked straight at her, saying, "What do you mean, Miss Cruz? You're interrogating me like a criminal!"

Sharon shrugged. "Well, I'm just asking. If you don't like it, I won't ask anymore."

After that, she lowered her head and continued eating.

Rebecca's hands were trembling on her knees. She was certain that the person who eavesdropped on her in the bathroom was definitely Sharon. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

However, so what if Sharon heard it? Rebecca was not worried. She did not say anything on the phone and thus Sharon could not do anything to her.

Even if Sharon said something, would Stanley believe it?

She looked up at Stanley and said, "I'm quite full. Shall we go?"

Sharon was full of malice towards her, and she didn't believe that Stanley wouldn't notice.

Just now in the car, Sharon's attitude towards her wasn't very good and Stanley was already a little annoyed. At this moment, Sharon was evidently heckling her more and more. It was obvious that Stanley had noticed the situation.

Stanley nodded. "Let's go."

Rebecca looked down and smirked.

Sharon gritted her teeth and wanted to say something more, but Rebecca and Stanley had gotten up and walked towards the door together.

Sharon snorted and followed.

Coming to the parking lot, Sharon didn't feel like sitting in the co-pilot's seat this time, so she slowly dragged herself behind Stanley and Rebecca.

The two of them chatted happily. Sharon could see the corner of Stanley's mouth curl into a smile several times.

She pursed her lips and thought, "You'll be crying one day."

With her eyes drooped, she looked down at her feet as she moved forward slowly. Then, she pulled open the door of the backseat and intended to get in.

"What are you doing?"

Stanley's low voice rang out from neither far nor near.

When Sharon raised her head and looked over, what came into the sight was Stanley looking at her with a frown.

Seeing that, she pointed at the seat and asked, "Aren't we leaving?"

Without saying anything, Stanley opened the passenger seat door and said, "Get in."

Sharon shook her head: "Miss Lambert can take the front seat. I don't want it. It's much more spacious in the back."

Rebecca's eyes seemed to light up. "If you don't want to sit..."

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Stanley stood there without moving as if he didn't want to be rejected. "Get in."

Rebecca glanced at Stanley in surprise.

Sharon really didn't want to sit in the front anymore. She and Stanley didn't say a single word to each other anyway, so it would be awkward sitting in the front.

"I'm a little tired. I can have a rest if I sit at the back. Why don't you let Miss Lambert have the seat?" Sharon looked at Rebecca. "Miss Lambert, would you like to change seats with me?"

Rebecca smiled and said, "I'm okay with it."

"Thank you then."

She opened the door and was about to get on the car. Suddenly, there was a steady sound of footsteps behind her, and her wrist was grabbed at once.

"Ah!" Sharon had already entered the car halfway but was dragged out immediately.

Before she could even react, she had been shoved into the passenger seat again.

Sharon was left speechless.

She really didn't feel like sitting in the front seat. Why did he have to make things difficult for her?

Rebecca pursed her lips and looked at her.

Stanley bypassed the front of the car and pointed at the back door. "Rebecca, you take the back seat."

Rebecca looked a little embarrassed. She drew a deep breath and said calmly, "Okay."

After that, she tried to pull the door handle and the door did not open for the first time. Finally, she opened the door with twice the original force she applied.

As soon as she sat down, Stanley's low voice in front of her sounded again, "Sit on my side."

Rebecca hesitated for a moment before she shifted her body to behind the driver's seat.

Stanley ignited the car engine and pressed a button. The chair Sharon was sitting on slowly leaned back. "What's happening?" Sharon was startled.

"Didn't you say you wanted to take a rest?" Stanley retracted his gaze and adjusted her seat to the most comfortable angle.

Sharon kept quiet.

Rebecca's hands, which were on her knees, clenched tightly. She turned her face away and looked coldly out of the car.
