Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 428

"Humph, it's good that you're aware of what's happening."

Sharon turned to the source of the voice to see William looking at her coldly.

She always knew that William didn't like her. Whether it was from the way he looked at her or his attitude, she could feel that he hated her. If it weren't for Shawn, he would have ignored her.

Although he hated her, he had never used such words to mock her. This was the first time.

Sharon only glanced at him and then withdrew her gaze, not saying a word.

There was nothing much she could say to him.

Right away, William was irritated by Sharon's attitude, and his cold gaze staring at her got even more callous.

Only when Shawn glared at William that he restrained himself a little bit.

When night came, the group of people could not be picky about the spots to sleep. They found some spots and slept sitting, and one of them found a tree to lean against. In that way, they spent the night.

Sharon was extremely tired. Even though her entire body was tense and she was paranoid, she unknowingly fell asleep for some reason.

It was not until she felt a creepy killing intent shrouding her that she suddenly woke up. Her eyes opened abruptly, and she saw a dagger shining with cold light aiming towards her.

Immediately, Sharon's expression changed. Instinctively, she rolled to the side, and the dagger missed her. The person holding the dagger immediately threw himself at her. His actions were fierce, much more resolute than his first strike. It was as if he was determined to kill her.

Sharon stood up and ran. Before she could run more than two steps, she tripped over something and fell down, causing a loud sound.

"Help me..."

"Ah..."

Her mouth was gagged by the other party, and he sinisterly scorned, "Shut up!"

Sharon stared at him and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a word.

The dagger was raised and it was closer and closer, whereas Sharon struggled with resistance, letting out muffled sounds. As she struggled, she felt something in her hand. Without even thinking about it, she picked it up and smashed it against her attacker.

Dong!

The person was caught off guard and was hit in the head by her. Immediately, the smell of blood wafted in the air.

Her actions infuriated him completely. He did not even think twice before holding up the dagger to stab her in the neck.

In despair, Sharon shut her eyes.

Bam!

Suddenly, Sharon could not feel the weight of her body. Just then, she immediately opened her eyes as she was pulled up, only to realize Shawn hugging her tightly as he asked in a low voice, "Are you hurt?"

Gasping for breath, Sharon shook her head. "I'm fine..."

"Okay," Shawn answered and moved her to one side. His face was solemn, and his eyes were full of anger. He walked forward, came to William, raised his foot, and gave him a good kicking.

William fell to the ground, and so did the dagger in his hand. There was also blood dripping from his head.

Sharon didn't understand why William wanted to kill her. Did he hate her this much?

She had never hurt William, and there was no enmity between them. Why made he want to kill her?

Shawn took out the gun from his waist and put it on William's forehead. "Why did you do that?"

William knelt on the ground. His face was pale, and his eyes were full of incredulity. "Mr. Shawn, are you killing me because of her?"

"Do you think your life is more important than hers?"

Shawn stared at her, his eyes flashing.

What she said made sense. He didn't expect that she could think so thoroughly.

Therefore, he put away his gun and came to her, smiling with his eyes. "I know you have always been smart, but I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. Today, for your sake, I'll spare William. But from now on, you have to keep up with me at all times. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that William won't kill you again."

Sharon's eyes widened. What did he mean by again? Was he trying to scare her?

Shawn had already shot William, which should serve as a severe warning to him. He probably wouldn't plan to kill her again, right?

She thought so in her heart, but couldn't figure it out.

"Let's go." Seeing the fear in her eyes, Shawn knew that she was afraid. "You're right. Since we've already alerted others, we can't stay here for too long."

After that, he woke the others up and turned back to hold Sharon's hand. The few of them continued to walk forward.

The forest was completely foreign to them. The further they went in, the worse the signal became. Plus, it was dark, so it was even more difficult to distinguish the direction.

They had been walking for a long time, and right when Sharon couldn't hold on any longer, they finally saw a wooden house not far ahead.

The wooden house was empty. There was no one in it, and there were no signs of life.

Shawn asked the people to take a look around. After confirming that no one was following him, he decided to rest for a while on the spot.

William had been sitting in the corner and had not said a word. From the beginning, his mood was strange. He was silent, and no one knew what was on his mind.

Shawn went out to take care of some things. Currently, there were only Sharon and William in the wooden cabin, as well as another person. Perhaps Shawn was worried about her and William being alone, so he got another person to be with them.

The wooden house was dead quiet. Eventually, Sharon broke the silence. "If Shawn really wanted to kill you, he wouldn't have missed."
