Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 668

After Stanley was done speaking, silence fell over the room.

Sharon wore a dull expression all along.

What was he thinking when he decided to transfer such a big stake to her?

After some time, Sharon finally found her voice. "If you gave all of these to us, then what about you?"

"I have you guys."

Upon hearing that, Sharon was at a loss for words.

Looking at her husband in disbelief, she asked, "Are you sure you're serious about this?"

"Look, I've signed my name on paper. Do you think I'm fooling around?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at her tiny face, which was full of skepticism. Amused by his wife's reactions, he added, "It's not a big deal. You don't have to be so shocked."

Was it not a big deal?

It was a huge deal!

To her, there was no other big deal other than this!

Not knowing what to do, Sharon let go of his embrace while holding the contract in one hand. She suddenly became the biggest shareholder of Jones Group, so how was she supposed to react?

After thinking long and hard, she set down the contract in front of him again and refused, "No way, you're just fooling around with this contract! Throw it in the bin, I can't accept this..."

In a calm tone, Stanley asked, "What's with all the fuss?"

"Because... because I'm not capable enough to manage such a big company. I'm telling you Stanley, if you pass the company to me, I'll screw it up! I'm not joking with you, I can't do this!"

Sharon knew what she was capable of. Leading or managing a group of people wasn't her forte. If she were to work under a management, she felt that she might be competent enough to handle it.

But leading a whole company? Forget it!

Curling up the corner of his lips, he pulled his worried wife to his side. "Since you're not confident that you can do it, why don't I teach you a way?"

Curious, Sharon looked at him and asked, "What is it?"

"Pay me to manage the company."

Hearing that, Sharon went speechless again.

Glaring at him, she asked in annoyance, "You're joking with me, aren't you?"

Why would Stanley make her hire him to manage his own company?!

"I'm being serious," Stanley said as he adjusted her clothes. Then, he continued, "You're the biggest shareholder of the company now. You can hire anyone to manage the company for you."

"But..."

"Well, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"It's not like that..."

"Alright, since there's nothing wrong, you should pay me to manage the company. It'd be better if you could pay me a high price so that no other companies would give me a better offer. Then, I can focus solely on growing the company."

It was clear that his thoughts weren't logically right, but why did Sharon feel that his explanation made a lot of sense?

"Don't worry, I'll help you manage the company," Stanley comforted as he dumped the contract into the drawer. He then got up and stepped out of the room with Sharon.

Not saying a word, she quietly followed her husband.

After Jimmy left the Jones Mansion, Director Sherlock called. He then returned to the bureau and went straight for Director Sherlock.

As soon as he reached the bureau, he knocked on the office door. Director Sherlock then said in a deep voice, "Come in."

Pushing the door open, Jimmy went in. "You were looking for me?"

Nodding his head, Director Sherlock picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before announcing, "Kevin is awake."

Raising his brows, Jimmy said, "He sure is a lucky fella."

Though he was severely injured, he barely survived. He had been in a coma since he came out of the operating room; the doctor said that he might not be able to get through it, or might be in a coma for his whole life, yet no one expected that he could wake up only after a few days.

"I'm calling you here just to tell you that Kevin has woken up. I've reported the situation to the superiors. They might send someone to take over this matter."

At once, Jimmy's face clouded over.

If the higher-ups took over this matter, then he would not be able to control Kevin's life anymore.

Knowing what Jimmy was thinking, Director

Sherlock sighed. "If you have time today, go and visit him. He will be transferred in a few days, so if you don't go now, you might not be able to see him anymore."

After sitting quietly for a period of time, Jimmy nodded and said, "Alright."

Then, he stood up and left.

Staring at his back, Director Sherlock wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word in the end.

Jimmy went out and sat in the car, smoking in silence.

No one wanted Kevin to die more than he did, but if he killed him, he would have had to pay the price. Nothing good would come out of impulse.

After putting out his cigarette, Jimmy called David to come out and then drove to Kevin's place together.

The place where Kevin was treated was an infirmary. No one would have known that he was staying at that place if he hadn't said it out.

When they were about to arrive at the infirmary, David suddenly said, "Hey, boss! There's a car behind us. It's been following us for quite a while."

Jimmy, who was sitting in the passenger's seat, raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did you realize they were following us?"

"During the first ten minutes of our journey, I felt suspicious. When I speeded, the car speeded as well; when I intentionally slowed down, so did they. They've been following us up till this point, so I grew suspicious."

Narrowing his eyes, Jimmy glanced at the rearview mirror. The car looked very familiar, but he couldn't recall whose car it was.

"Let's observe for another while. Ignore him and keep driving."

"Yes, boss." This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

After a corner turn, Jimmy deliberately made David speed up, and then slow down. It seemed that the driver of the car took the bait and hurriedly followed. He did not expect Jimmy's car would slow down suddenly, so he ended up driving side by side with Jimmy's car.

Taking a glance at the car, he was stunned.

"Boss, did you see who it was?"

David asked as he saw the car behind them gradually distancing itself.

For a while, Jimmy didn't say anything and kept his expression as neutral as possible even though it seemed that he was holding in a secret. After a long pause, he said plainly, "I didn't see them clearly. How long more for us to get to the infirmary?"

Hearing that, David took a glance at him. After a while, he replied, "Soon. We'll arrive after the traffic light."

Kevin did not expect that Jimmy would be the first person he saw after he had woken up.

He opened his eyes, not knowing when Jimmy had entered his room.

"Are you here to kill me?"

Kevin asked while looking at Stanley who was standing beside the window.

Hearing Kevin's voice, Jimmy turned around and sneered, "You're a wreck now. Killing you will only dirty my hands."

Immediately, Kevin's expression turned bitter as he asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to bring you a piece of good news."

Would he actually bring him good news? Suspicion painted across Kevin's face. Furthermore, he was already in this state. What good news was waiting for him?

"The good news is that the higher-ups will send someone to take over your case in a few days. Whether you are dead or alive is none of my business anymore."

Moving to stand by the bed, Jimmy looked down at him. "Isn't this good news for you?"

It was indeed good news!

Instantly, a glint of hope flashed across Kevin's grey eyes.

As long as he could leave Jimmy's territory, he was confident that he could stay alive.

Immediately, he started plotting an escape plan mentally. Due to excitement, his pale and hideous face instantly looked alive.

Looking at him with an expressionless face, Jimmy slowly said, "Everything has two sides. It may be good news that the higher- ups are sending someone else to take over your case, but it could be bad news too."
