Liam seemed to be very delighted at the situation. Even if Sharon didn't see him, she could still imagine his expression on the other side.
Sharon didn't want to bother him because she believed that Stanley wouldn't betray her despite their strained relationship.
As for Jimmy... That was quite hard to believe.
Jimmy had committed a similar mistake before. Now that both of them had divorced, Sharon was worried that he would start seeking pleasure.
If Ariah saw what Jimmy was doing, would she immediately give up on him?
Sharon hesitated whether he should tell Ariah about it. "You've been staring at me for quite some time. Who's the one that made the call?" asked Ariah.
As she raised her eyebrow, she said, "Was it Jimmy?"
Why did he have to call Sharon? It was not that he did not have Ariah's phone number.
"N-No, it's not Jimmy. It's Liam."
"Why did that pervert call you?"
"He told me something..."
"What is it?"
"Umm... Nothing important." If what Liam said was true, would Ariah faint upon learning it?
Women were always like this. Although they said that they didn't care, they would still not be able to accept that their former husbands were having fun right after the divorce.
"You're dodging my gaze. What is it that you're hiding from me?" Ariah was smart and immediately saw through Sharon's guilt. Narrowing her eyes, she snatched the phone from Sharon's hand and asked Liam, "What did you say to Sharon? Did you want to do something to her again?"
Ariah knew what Liam had done to Sharon. Now that Sharon was her friend, Ariah tried to protect her from any harm.
She would never let the pervert bully Sharon.
Upon hearing her voice, Liam smiled mockingly. "Since you're here, let me tell you that Jimmy is having fun with young ladies at a nightclub. Be quick if you want to come over."
After telling her the address, Liam hung up.
When Sharon took the phone from Ariah's hand, she saw that Ariah's expression was a little dark. "Are you okay?'
Taking in a deep breath, Ariah asked, "Did Liam call to tell you that Jimmy is having fun with other ladies outside?"
"I..."
"Was that what he told you?"
"Y-Yes."
Following a nod, she said, "Please take care of the two children at home. I have something to do, so I need to excuse myself now."
It must be something related to Jimmy, so Sharon hurriedly responded, "Ariah, I'll go with you."
"What did you say?" she asked with a frown.
"I'll accompany you!"
"Don't mess around, you're not allowed to follow me!"
Sharon was very worried about her friend. "I don't care. I must go with you."
Nevertheless, what was going on with Stanley? He had stayed in the company all day and attended a few meetings. Allegedly, he had not only reprimanded the managers, but also shouted at the other employees, which caused everyone to work in fear.
Just as Liam was about to pour him some liquor, a young miss sitting next to Stanley raised her eyebrows and asked, "You won't get drunk even if you drink ten bottles of that liquor. Why don't you try this?"
Upon hearing the suggestion, Stanley lifted his eyes, and his gaze was sharp. He didn't look like he was drunk at all.
Without uttering another word, Liam poured him the liquor recommended by the lady. "Try it."
In response, Stanley picked up his glass and took a sip.
The taste of the liquor was bland, but the sensation was strong. There were even traces of fragrance in his mouth after drinking it, which made him approve of the quality of the liquor.
Raising his head, he gulped it down without hesitation.
Liam thus filled his glass again before asking the question that he was most interested in. "Did you quarrel with Sharon?"
When he went to Stanley's home yesterday, he vaguely felt that something wasn't right, but he didn't ask because something was going on back then. Considering the current situation, Liam felt that his conjecture wasn't too far off from the truth.
The only person who could make him frown was none other than Sharon.
"Tell me, what's the conflict between the two of you? I might come up with some ideas for you," Liam tempted him.
When Stanley heard that, he sneered. "I know what you're thinking. You will never get the chance to make fun of us. Shoo!" "We're all family. It's too harsh to say that. I'm here to help you..."
"Are you helping us? Or are you trying to take the advantage of us?"
Liam was choked by his words. Shrugging his shoulders, he took another sip, and his eyes became more charming. "If you understand me well, you'll know what I'm thinking about."
Words of warning rang in the air before Stanley could react to the situation.
