Chapter 39
Sharon was pressed firmly against the wall, and she couldn't make a sound as a big hand covered her mouth.
"Hmm..."
Sharon resisted and struggled desperately, trying to push the person away.
"Don't move!"
The hoarse but rather familiar voice echoed into her ears, "I'll let you go in a minute!"
Sharon was stunned since she recognized the voice.
Seeing that she stopped struggling, the man let go of the hand that was covering her hand.
"M-Mr. Frazier?"
Sharon's mind went blank as she called out Liam's name.
Liam looked down at Sharon in his arms and was taken aback when he saw her shocked expression and the fright in her eyes.
"Sharon? Why was she here?"
He mumbled to himself.
They were so close to each other that they could clearly hear each other's hearbeat. Sharon was so embarrassed by their closeness that she wanted to push him away, only to find that his hand was clutching her waist tightly.
"M- Mr. Frazier?" Sharon politely called his name. "Can you let me go, please?"
Liam was about to speak when he glanced around and saw several tails following him. His expression became serious upon the sight and he said in a low voice, "Sorry, I can't let you go now. Someone is looking for me, but I don't want them to find me, so..."
Before he could finish, his face, which was only about an inch away, leaned in toward her.
Feeling the warmth on her lips, Sharon was firmly kissed as their lips touched.
She opened her eyes wide in shock as if her mind exploded. At the fit of anger, she heard a sinister growl behind her, "Where is he? He was here just now. How could you lose him?"
Someone replied, "The couple in front of us..." Then the footsteps slowly approached them.
The corridor was very dark and it was hard to tell who was who in such a far distance.
Moreover, this group of people only saw Liam in photos and today was their first time meeting Liam in person.
Sharon's mind was in a mess, yet in a split second, she pushed Liam hard forward and shouted, "B*stard, tell me honestly, who is that woman just now? Is she your mistress, you cheating jerk?"
Liam was stunned.
Sharon winked at him, signaling him to play along.
Liam with a pair of enchanting eyes was rooted to the spot in a daze.
Rubbing her forehead in agitation, she had to act on her own. After composing her emotions, she burst into tears at the top of her lungs, depicting a shrew perfectly.
"Ungrateful b*stard! I married you at the age of 18 and suffered a lot with you, but you cheat on me, motherf*cker! Look at me! I was as pretty as a flower before I married you and you ruined me! How
could you do this to me?"
The corners of Liam's mouth twitched.
While cursing, Sharon reached out to pinch his ear as a part of her realistic shrew act.
Liam frowned. No one dared to pinch his ear as she did now.
Besides, how could she pinch his ear at will? ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Seeing him finally looking at her, Sharon glared at him and pushed him. "How dare you glare at me! I didn't say anything wrong! Who is that woman? If you don't tell me clearly today, I won't spare you!"
While speaking, thanks to the dim corridor, Sharon pulled Liam and hurriedly hid in the ladies restroom.
The footsteps behind them halted. Their pursuers seemed to be a little hesitant. "Boss, are we still following them?"
The man narrowed his eyes and peered inside when he saw a man, standing quietly in the corner in fear, as he was scolded by the woman. At first glance, the man in front of them seemed like a useless man and did not look like the person they were looking for.
Sharon stood at the door of the restroom, cursing and shouting like a shrew with her hands on her waist. She turned around and glared at the people outside. "What are you looking at? Do you want to get yourself some scolding too? Get the hell out of here!"
The man snorted. "Crazy woman!"
After that, he ushered his men away and said, "Go and look for him outside."
The group of men left in a flash.
No one came back a minute later, which meant that they really left.
Sharon breathed a sigh of relief. As she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, she smiled apologetically at Liam and said, "I'm sorry for scolding you as if you were really cheating on me."
Liam squinted at her without saying anything.
"Hey, what's up with the guys just now? Are they your enemies?"
Liam looked at her with his hands crossed in front of his chest and mumbled, "Sort of. I want to thank you for doing me such a big favor."
"Don't mention it. We're even. You helped me on the street the other day and I got you into the hospital and today I helped you out of the predicament. It's fair."
Liam stared at her red lips. "That kiss..."
Sharon smiled drily and said, "Well, mouth to mouth is part of CPR. It's okay, I don't mind as long as I can help you."
"It isn't really a kiss anyway. We simply stuck our lips together. So, no, it's not a kiss."
Sharon comforted herself in her heart.
Squinting at her for a few seconds, he put on a smile slowly. "Thank you, you helped me a lot. If it weren't for you, I might have died here today."
"Huh?" Sharon widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Is it that serious?"
Liam nodded.
Sharon swallowed, the fright started to creep inside her. She ignorantly thought it was just an ordinary dispute, but she didn't expect that it would be so serious.
"Do you want to call the police?" Sharon was worried that he would be in danger later. "What if you bump into those people later?"
Genuine concern was written all over her face, which triggered a strange feeling inside Liam's heart. After his mother passed away many years ago, no woman had ever really cared for him again.
"I'm fine. I've already called someone to come over."
Liam looked at her deeply and said in a low voice.
Sharon was relieved. "Glad to know that."
On second thought, she figured that her worry was unnecessary since Liam was somewhat extraordinary. She bet that a dozen bodyguards would show up later and no one could get close to him.
A cell phone suddenly rang. It was Sharon's phone.
She took it out and looked at it. It was Skye who was calling her. "Hey, Mr. Frazier, my colleague called me. I have to go now. See you!"
As she spoke, she walked out, and her petite body soon disappeared from his sight.
After a long while, Liam reached out and caressed his lips. There was a lingering warmth between his fingers that mesmerized him.
William quickly came over. After hearing Liam's encounter with the incident, his face turned livid. "I am going to check the surveillance camera to see who is so bold to come at you!"
"It's okay. I know who it is."
Liam said lightly.
William was stunned. "You know?"
"Yes."
"Who?"
He glared ahead with his amorous eyes and there was a frigid air of ruthlessness surrounding his naturally upturned lips. "If I'm not mistaken, they are from the Lewis Family."
William was agitated. "The Lewis Family is so vengeful that they pursue us all the way to Beachmarsh City."
Liam frowned. Indeed, he did not expect that Shawn, the unfavored second son of the Lewis Family, was so cruel and stubborn that he even sent people to Beachmarsh City to cause him trouble.
At Charming Hills Apartment.
Stanley carried Jewel in his arms and entered the elevator. Jewel was lying in his arms all the time, showing no sign of waking up.
Stanley put her on the sofa as soon as he entered the house. He then went to the bar to find a bottle of wine, opened it, and drank it casually.
It was a cold night. There was a gloomy aura hovering above his eyebrows but his face was expressionless and his eyes were as calm as a lake as he sipped red wine with his thin lips.
His slender fingers slowly tapped on the bar. After a while, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Mr. Jones, why did you end the call all of a sudden? I thought there was something wrong with my phone."
Troy said in a low voice, hiding in the corner.
Stanley stretched his long legs and asked casually, "What is she doing?"
Troy quickly said, "She went to the bathroom and now she's back, playing cards with the rest."
"Are they gambling?" Stanley raised his eyebrows.
Troy smiled awkwardly. "It's just a tiny gamble. They only play with a small amount of money."
Stanley hummed calmly and said nothing more. There was a sound of footsteps behind him. He hung up the phone and looked back, only to see Jewel walking over with only sexy lingerie on her.
