Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 786

As soon as the line was connected, Zoe's sharp voice was heard. Incredulously, she said, "I'm used to living in this single apartment that I've been living in. Now that you suddenly ask me to move to another place, how am I supposed to get used to it?"

"You earn so much money in a month, and I am only asking you to give me a few thousand. What's wrong with that? We are blood-related sisters, but you had learned to scheme against me. Do you even have a conscience?"

Did she just said that Elaine doesn't have a conscience?

As Elaine became even more disappointed, she just felt like laughing. "Zoe, back when you were studying, I was the one who paid for all your living expenses when our parents couldn't afford it. Since I was earning money, I didn't care about paying for your expenses as your younger sister. But now that you have started working, you have the ability to afford it yourself. Why do I still have to pay for your rent?"

"Although I'm working, do you know how much my salary is? It's only 3,000 a month, and my rent for each month is 2,000. There's no way I could ask

our parents for money, and you're the only person who can pay for me!" At that moment, Zoe was pissed at her. "You've always paid for my rent. But now, you're suddenly telling me that you're not going to pay? Was your conscience eaten by dogs?"

"Also, now that Paul had gone to Beachmarsh City to look for you, but you actually asked him to stay in a lodge? Do you know how dangerous it is to stay in such a place? He is the only child of our family. If anything were to happen to him, you shall wait and see how Mom and Dad would teach you a lesson!"

In fact, Paul had complained to Zoe about it before, so she had kept it in mind.

Now that she had a chance, she had to teach her a lesson as an elder sister.

However, Elaine was at a loss for words. Other than disappointment, she felt confused.

For so many years, her family had been treating her like this, but she had sacrificed so much for them without complaint. In the end, she had become conscienceless in their eyes.

At that moment, Elaine felt like laughing, but she couldn't. "Zoe, I did not do anyone in the family wrong. In fact, I even sacrificed so much for you guys. If you were to think so of me, I can't help it.

That's it. I'm going to take Paul for dinner. I'll contact you again when I'm free in the future."

After that, she quietly hung up the phone, regardless of how Zoe was shouting on the other end of the call.

When the call ended, she noticed that her hands had been trembling non-stop.

Although she said that she didn't mind, she still cared.

They were her closest family. Not only did they not understand her, but they had also been exploiting her.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, but in order not to lose her self- control, she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Suddenly, she turned to look and found that Dr. Perkins was standing behind her, and she didn't know how long he had been standing there.

With an embarrassed smile, she asked, "Dr. Perkins, why are you here?"

With a frown, Vincent asked, "Are you... crying?"

Immediately, she shook her head and said, "No, I'm not crying. My eyes were a little itchy earlier, so I rubbed them. It's now red, isn't it? Let me go and wash my face."

When she was about to walk past him, he grabbed her and asked, "Who were you calling?"

"No, I wasn't calling anyone. Dr. Perkins, you misheard me..."

"I'm not deaf!"

Abashed, she said, "I was calling my sister."

As he narrowed his eyes, he asked, "Did you guys argue?"

Depressed, she nodded her head. "Yes."

"They mistreated you?"

"I used to think they were nice to me, but now I don't know. I'm a little confused, and I suddenly feel like I've realized many things."

In fact, her family should have supported her silently behind her back, but they didn't. Not only did they not do that, but they were not even comparable to Dr. Perkins.

Even Dr. Perkins was better than them.

Immediately, she grabbed her phone and hopped into the driver's car to the city.

Directly, she asked the driver to send her to Paul's lodge. As a result, when she arrived at his room, she knocked on the door for a long time, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Perplexed, Elaine wondered, "Where did he go?"

When she took out her phone and gave him a call, he didn't answer. Instead, he declined her call.

Speechless, she placed her ears against the door and listened for a long time, but there was no sound, which meant that he was not in the room.

Then, she had no choice but to leave.

After she left the lodge, she asked the driver to wait for her outside. In the meantime, she went to a nearby small restaurant to see if she could find Paul. However, she couldn't find him anywhere. In the end, she found him at an open-air barbecue table.

This guy came here for a barbecue!

Just as she was about to walk over, she saw a man beside him.

When she realized who that man was, she was stunned. It was him... Why was he here? What was more, he was with Paul!

For a moment, she stood there and hesitated if she should go up to them.

It was because she didn't want to see that man.

In fact, Paul seemed to be having a good relationship with the man. They drank beer, ate barbecue, and put their arms around each other's backs.

A look of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she frowned.

Then, she took a deep breath and decided to take Paul away as she didn't want to see her brother with such a person.

But as she was about to head over, they suddenly stood up to pay the bill and leave.
