Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 135

This woman... was so similar to her.

Sharon stood in the corner. The woman didn't seem to see her as she went straight to the sink to wash her hands. She looked down as if she was thinking about something and it took her a long time to wash her hands. She didn't notice Sharon who was standing in the corner even until she turned and left.

Sharon stood still for a long time before she suddenly came to her senses.

How could there be two people who were in stark similarity to each other? Who was that woman? Why did she look so much like her?

Countless questions flashed in her mind. Sharon marched forward and chased after the woman without further ado.

Peter stood in the corner outside the restroom and smoked. He didn't look in the direction of the restroom, so it was a good opportunity for Sharon to escape. She walked on tiptoe and left quickly, lifting the hem of her dress.

After running for a long distance, she looked back and found that Peter didn't catch up with her. It seemed that he didn't know that she had come out.

Heaving a sigh of relief, she turned and saw the woman in the black dress in front of her, so she immediately chased after her. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

In addition to the first and second floor of the banquet, there were also guests on the outdoor lawn. Some of the playful young guests had taken off their suits and jumped into the swimming pool. The woman in the black skirt stood aside and was lost in thought.

Sharon looked at her side profile gingerly, took a few deep breaths, and slowly walked over.

"Hello."

A pleasant voice echoed in Ayana's ear. She turned her head to look and paused a second.

Sharon saw the stunned expression on the woman's face, but that woman was not surprised.

She frowned. If the woman hadn't seen her before, she would be shocked and surprised to see that they bore a stark similarity to each other.

However, she wasn't surprised. After a slight daze, she quickly calmed down.

From this judgment, Sharon subconsciously felt that this woman knew her.

After licking her tongue, Sharon took two steps forward and took the initiative to say, "Hello..."

From the moment Ayana saw her, she recognized that this woman was Sharon Cruz, Shawn's beloved woman, whom Shawn had been thinking about for many years.

She looked at the woman from head to toe and found that they were indeed very similar to each other.

Ayana lowered her eyes and smiled. "Hello."

Sharon pointed at her and then at herself. "Excuse me, a-are we somehow related?"

It was okay for two people to look alike, but there must be something fishy if they looked too much alike.

Ayana looked at her with a faint smile. "Miss, this is my first time meeting you. Why do you think we are related?"

Uh, she was right.

Sharon figured that her question was a little too rash and blunt that she must have irritated her.

"Sorry, I'm so surprised. It's the first time I've seen a person who looks so similar to me. That's why I said that."

Sharon sincerely apologized.

Ayana suddenly felt annoyed. She didn't expect that Sharon was such a polite and graceful woman which was completely different from the unreasonable woman Shawn talked about.

If she really was unreasonable and feisty as Shawn said, Ayana might dislike her. However, her character was gentle and generous, which made her likable.

It was also because of this that Ayana suddenly became a little irritated with her.

If Sharon was not a bad person, how could it reflect her kindness?

Ayana took a deep breath and calmed down. She said calmly, "I still have something to do. Miss, if you have nothing to say, please let me pass. I need to go now."

Sure enough, she hated her!

"Oh, okay."

Sharon immediately turned sideways and planned to let her walk past her. She couldn't rush this, and she definitely couldn't pester her for more questions.

No matter how many doubts she had in her heart, Sharon could only suppress them for now. She figured that she would talk to Stanley later about this. He was so smart and clever, he could certainly help her solve the questions.

When she was about to leave, a voice suddenly sounded behind her. "Sharon!"

This voice...

Sharon raised her eyebrows and looked back. She saw a petite woman hiding in the dark. She could not see her face, but she recognized her voice.

It was Jewel.

Was she here too?

Sharon frowned. There must be something fishy for her to call after her.

She wanted to leave as she didn't want to mingle with Jewel.

However, Jewel's calm voice sounded behind her again, "Aren't you curious why Stanley married you?"

Sharon stopped on the spot upon hearing her question.

Back then, Stanley appeared like a deity to rescue her from distress, pulled her out of her predicament, and provided her the best life, but with only one condition, that was to marry him.

A man like him, who had charm, money, and authority, could marry any woman in the world, but why did he choose to marry her?

Sharon didn't care about it before. She couldn't be bothered by the reasons as long as she had the money to save her father's life.

What about now? Did she still have the same thought? Or did she still not care?

No, a soft voice came from the bottom of her heart, "You care now. You want to know why."

Therefore, Sharon turned around and walked over to Jewel. She pursed her lips and asked, "Do you know why?"

Jewel smiled, which looked eerie in the darkness. "Do you want to know? I can tell you. Follow me. It's inconvenient to talk here. It's too noisy."

After that, she strode to a quieter corner.

Sharon hesitated for a moment and finally walked over with her.

There were so many people here. No matter how much Jewel hated her, it was impossible for her to make a move on her in such a huge banquet.

When she thought about it, she became less alert.

Ayana, who had not gone far, suddenly came back. She frowned as she watched Sharon follow a woman to an empty corner.

Her dark eyes darted around. She paused for a moment and eventually caught up with them.

"When I was about your age, Stanley spoiled me rotten. He gave me the best and everything I asked for. He let me taste the best love in the world."

Jewel, who had been walking slowly, suddenly stopped. She turned to look at Sharon, with a happy smile on her face. "At that time, all the women admired me and flattered me. They said that I was the luckiest woman in the world. They were certain that I would marry Stanley and become Mrs. Jones."

Speaking of this, her face suddenly changed, and her sharp eyes fell on Sharon. "But something unexpected happened! A nameless woman came out of nowhere and secretly married Stanley!"

Sharon frowned. The expression on Jewel's face was too distorted as if she was going to swallow her alive.

Why would she grimace her pretty face so hideously?

Jewel strode forward and pointed at her nose. "Do you think that Stanley married you because he loves you? Don't be stupid. He only loves Rebecca Lambert!"

Jewel also knew Rebecca. She knew that she was his true love whom he would never forget for the rest of his life.

Therefore, she decided to keep on waiting, thinking that one day he would love her back!

But what she got, in the end, was the fact that he married another woman!

She was pissed!

"Sharon, don't think that just because Stanley dotes on you now, he will love you for the rest of his life. His true love has always been Rebecca. I can't wait for the day when he dumps you!"

Jewel did not hide the malice in her heart. "When the time comes, you will be more miserable than me!"

"No." Sharon smiled and responded faintly, "I won't be more miserable than you, because I don't love that man. Even if he dumped me and we ended up with a divorce, I won't be sad, because I don't love him!"

Sharon looked at the shocked Jewel and continued, "This is the difference between me and you. Jewel, you love him, but I don't. So I won't end up worse than you."

After that, Sharon turned around and left.

She finally understood. Jewel never intended to tell her the reason why Stanley married her, but she just wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate her and see her flustered expression.

Just now, as Sharon saw Jewel's crazy look, she suddenly felt pitiful for her. Jewel was just a woman who was crazily in love.

"Sharon Cruz, go to hell!"

Behind her, Jewel suddenly burst out a vicious curse.

Sharon's face darkened and she frowned. When she was about to turn back, someone struck her neck and something like a towel muffled her mouth and nose. A sharp scent went through her breath and into her body.

"Hmm."

Fear filled her whole body. Sharon struggled in a panic. She managed to push the person behind her with an unknown force and shouted, "Help!"

She shouted loudly!

But soon, her body was pulled back, and her nose and mouth were covered again. A fierce male voice sounded in her ear, "Don't move if you don't want to die!"

Darkness slowly took over her senses, and Sharon's eyes widened in despair.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Before she fell into a coma, she saw a woman in a black dress appear. Sharon wanted her to run and look for Stanley, but the drug quickly took effect. Her body went soft and she collapsed, falling unconscious.

Harvey looked at the woman who suddenly appeared, who looked almost the same as Sharon. His face sank. "Get her!"

Earlier, Ayana went to the corner behind the wall and witnessed that Sharon was in danger. Without hesitation, she went straight out to question them with the intention of scaring them off.

But she didn't expect that they were bold enough to capture her regardless of the risk of being discovered.

Ayana turned around and ran away. While running, she shouted for help, "Help me! Help!"

With a loud bang, the back of her head suffered a heavy blow.

Ayana fell to the ground.

Harvey spat and said as he waved his hand, "Take them all away!"

Shawn was talking to several leaders of a certain department when Peter walked over quickly and whispered, "Young Master, I've lost Miss Cruz!"

"What?"

Shawn turned back and angrily rebuked him. "What the hell? You only have one job!"

After that, he hurried to the first floor without looking back.

Peter apologized to the people present and hurried to follow him.

"What the hell is going on?" Shawn asked as he went downstairs.

"Miss Cruz said that she wanted to use the restroom, so I followed her. After waiting for a long time, she didn't come out, so I went in and took a look, but the restroom was empty." Peter also regretted.

"I took a cigarette when I was bored. It might be that Miss Cruz left my sight secretly at that time."
