Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 52

There was a fit of uncontrollable anger in Stanley's chest. Every time when they were sleeping together, she couldn't even bear it when he put in a little more strength, and he would slow down as he looked at her pitiful face in order not to let her suffer.

But now she was beaten to a pulp by these two women.

How dare they bullied the woman who he had been pampering dearly!

The tall and sturdy man turned around and glared at the two women with his cold eyes. "Who hit her?"

His voice was faint, but it made the two women's hearts skip a beat.

When Cecilia met the man's dark and horrifying gaze, she was so scared that she dared not look straight into his eyes. Her palm was covered with cold sweat as she held Evonne's hand tightly.

"You don't want to talk, do you?" Stanley raised his eyebrows and then nodded. "Okay, since you don't want to talk, let's solve it by my own way."

His own way?

What was he going to do?

Evonne got goosebumps and a bad feeling spread through her heart.

Sitting down on the sofa with his long legs crossed, Stanley looked exceptionally elegant, reserved, and gentle, but his words and tone were chilling and fearsome. "Anthony, beat them. Each person gets ten slaps. After that, let them go."

What?

Evonne's hair stood when she heard that. He was ruthless!

Cecilia grabbed Evonne's arm tightly and uttered, "Mom, call the police. Hurry up and call the police!"

Stanley smiled and said, "Call the police? Good idea. You trespassed the private ward and beat and scolded the family members of the patient here. It's a criminal crime."

Evonne was clearly aware of Stanley's horror that her calmness dissipated and she started to feel panic. "S- Sir, we just had a little conflict."

There was a coldness in Stanley's eyes.

"Anthony, do it!" "Yes!

Anthony strode to the front of Evonne and Cecilia.

He was tall and strong, accompanied by a cold-faced bodyguard. As soon as he walked over, he gave out the terror and fearsome aura that Cecilia burst into tears on the spot out of fright. "Mom, think of something!"

Scared, Evonne stepped back to protect her daughter. "S-Stay back!"

Anthony took off his coat and gave a look to the bodyguards, who immediately understood his signal and went up to separate the two women. He grabbed Cecilia, who was so scared that her face turned pale. Anthony lifted his hand and was about to slap it on Cecilia's face.

"Wait." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Stanley suddenly said.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Stanley simply smiled and looked at Cecilia. "My assistant is a man after all. He never shows sympathy when beating people. Your face is so tender, it will definitely swell if he slaps you. I'll give you a chance."

Evonne blurted, "What chance?"

Stanley shifted his gaze at her, and the smile on his face faded bit by bit. His delicate facial features were as sharp as a blade. "She's your daughter, so you do it. Slap her 20 times, and you two can leave!"

Not only Cecilia and Evonne but also Sharon, who was standing in the corner, were stunned by his remark.

Sharon looked at the cold and arrogant man sitting on the sofa and felt as if the vicious and barbarous man was a stranger.

"Why? You don't want to do it?" Stanley raised his eyebrows and said impatiently, "Anthony, do it!"

Anthony was about to slap Cecilia in the face again when Evonne shouted, gritting her teeth.

"Stop!"

Anthony stopped and glanced at her faintly. Then he stepped aside and said, "Please."

Evonne's heart was bleeding with hatred and rage, but she couldn't do anything about it. If she didn't do as he said, it was highly unlikely that she could leave this place. They were two women and were no match for these ferocious men.

She gritted her teeth and looked at her daughter. "Cecilia, bear it."

It was better for her to slap her than to let the strong man do it.

After saying that, Evonne slapped her multiple times in the face.

"Slap! Slap!" The crisp and clear sound echoed in the ward.

Sharon turned her face away and didn't want to look at them.

For a moment, the slap stopped. Evonne's hand was numb. Cecilia's face was swollen and she was crying in despair.

Evonne turned around, looked at Stanley on the sofa with a sneer, and said, "How is it? I've slapped her. Can we leave now?"

However, Stanley did not even look at her and simply ordered, "Anthony, call the police."

"Yes."

Anthony went to get his mobile phone.

"B*stard!" At this moment, Evonne lost all elegance as she pounced on Anthony to grab his phone. "I listened to you and slapped my daughter. What else do you want? Sir, what good is it for you to call the police? You also hit my daughter!"

"Did I?" Stanley asked back, "You did it yourself, didn't you?"

Evonne was stunned. At this point, she finally understood Stanley's true intention. He was so shrewd that he dug the trap and lured her to jump into step by step. Not only did she jump into the trap, but he even filled the trap and wanted her to die there!

What a ruthless man!

Evonne gritted her teeth and her eyes were bloodshot.

Stanley looked at her coldly. "Who do you think you are that you can beat my woman and leave as you wish, huh?"

Evonne trembled.

Cecilia was so scared that she couldn't say a word.

"Let them go."

Sharon's voice suddenly sounded in the eerily quiet ward.

Stanley tilted his head to look back at her. Sharon stood by the bed, looked at her sick father, and said with a faint voice, "My father needs to rest, and he can't do so in such a noisy situation. Please leave, all of you."

Anthony looked at Stanley, who frowned and waved his hand.

Anthony and the bodyguards retracted to make way. Evonne pulled Cecilia and strode away, and she glared at Sharon, who was in the corner right before leaving.

Howard checked Sharon's injury and let her sit on the chair. He asked her again, "Where else do you feel hurt?"

Sharon shook her head.

Ten minutes ago, Stanley called Howard. Since Howard was on duty today, Stanley directly brought Sharon to his ward to let him check if there was any injury on her body.

Howard finished checking and said, "You have bruises all over your body, nothing serious, but your calf is quite serious. It may swell tomorrow, and even affect your walking. You just need to rest more."

"Okay."

Sharon responded.

Howard glanced at her and put down the pen and paper in his hand. "Who beat you? Is it Stanley? Did he do this to you?"

Sharon was stunned for a moment before quickly waving her hands. "No, it's not him, it's someone else. He even helped me."

"Oh?" Howard's interest was piqued. "Stanley is a very protective person; everyone knows that. When his people are bullied, he will not spare the perpetrators! How is it? How did he deal with the people who bullied you?"

She was in a daze as she thought of his means in the ward.

She had always thought that Stanley was mild in other aspects except for his cold personality, but she had never expected him to be so ruthless.

Frankly, she was a little scared by him just now.

"Why don't you talk?"

Howard waved his hand in front of her.

Sharon immediately came to her senses and smiled embarrassedly. "Sorry, I was thinking of something."

Howard stroked his chin and looked at Sharon. He had never talked to her in person before. After a brief conversation now, he found that she had a pleasant character; she was also beautiful and gentle. No wonder Stanley was behaving weirdly lately because of her.

She did have the ability to make men lost their minds.

However...

Howard remembered the reason why Stanley married her back then. He was not meant to fall in love with her...

"Ahem!" Howard's eyes darted around, and he decided to ask, "Do you love Stanley?"
