Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 794

Elaine interpreted two conclusions from Morgan's remark.

Firstly, They knew that Paul was with her when Allen kidnapped her and that he didn't stop him.

Second, how did they know about all this?

She didn't want to rack her brain about this, so she asked directly, "Morgan, how do you know this?"

With a smile, Morgan said, "I just happen to know it. You don't have to think about how I know this, but just know that Mr. Bradbury is doing all this for your own good."

His remark didn't have any effect on her though. Vincent was nothing but a stranger to her, and she didn't know his name until today.

She didn't want him to do anything for her.

Looking down, she whispered, "I just want to know where Paul is. Morgan, please tell me."

In the end, Morgan simply shook his head with a sigh and walked away without revealing anything.

When he left, Elaine turned to the phone but a maid stopped her. "Miss Jacob, Morgan won't let you use the phone. Please proceed to the living room."

The more indifferent they were, the more anxious she became. "Go away. I must make this call."

The maid started tugging at her until Morgan's voice resonated, "Charlotte, stop. Let Miss Jacob use the phone."

With that, the maid let go of Elaine's arm.

In an instant, Elaine picked up the phone and dialed Paul's number.

The phone was connected and it kept beeping, but no one answered it.

In the end, it hung up on its own.

Determined, Elaine called him twice but no one answered the phone.

Elaine's heart began to pound nervously. Where was Paul? Why didn't he answer the phone?

Putting down the earpiece uneasily, she stood as still as a statue, lost in thought.

Suddenly, the image of the bald man dying in front of her flashed across her mind again...

The rustic smell of blood.

The man's cold and ruthless gaze.

"Miss Jacob?"

Startled by the maid's voice, Elaine came back to her senses. The maid then asked, sounding concerned, when she saw her pale face, "Are you alright?"

Nodding dejectedly, she slowly walked back to the living room.

She waited for the whole day but Vincent never came home.

Finally, when the clock struck 7, she started pacing the living room like an anxious cat. Morgan comforted, "I'm not sure if Mr. Bradbury will come back today. Why don't you go back to your room and rest?"

Without saying a word, she rushed to the phone again and started calling Vincent.

His phone was turned off.

She tried calling Paul again, but his phone was turned off too.

She was silent for a moment, and the anxiety infuriated her. She slammed the phone down and ran back to her room.

Because she didn't eat for a day, she was feeling a little wobbly that she fell when she was on the stairs.

Shocked, Morgan wanted to help her up but she had already stood up on her own and gone upstairs.

Seeing the sight, Morgan sighed. "I've never seen such a stubborn person before. Charlotte, bring

the soup to her room. She's got to eat something."

The maid nodded and hurried to the kitchen.

After going upstairs, Elaine walked around the room before sitting down on the bed in frustration.

She was still thinking about how to escape from this place the whole morning, but now, all she could think of was Paul. Only when she got the news about him from Vincent could she be at ease.

Feeling dizzy, she got under the quilt and stroke her growling stomach while staring at the ceiling.

"I'm so hungry!" she grumbled.

Usually, she would eat a lot due to the heavy workload, and she had never starved herself as she did now.

Glaring at him in dismay, Elaine stuttered, "Y-You..."

His face was hidden in the darkness, so she couldn't see his expression. He rubbed his stomach and said in a deep and hoarse voice, "Morgan told me that you haven't eaten anything today."

Silently, she looked at him with vigilance.

Instead, Vincent chuckled, "But you don't seem like someone who has starved the whole day. Your kick is quite strong."

Elaine pursed her lips angrily.

As he turned on the switch and the room lit up, he leaned on the edge of the bed and asked, his eyes as dark as night, "Are you hungry? I'll ask them to get you something to eat!"

"I don't want anything!" She directly asked him, "Where's my brother!"

Ignoring her, he picked up the intercom at the bedside table, pressed a button, and ordered, "Bring some food up here."

After saying that, he put down the earpiece, turned his head to look at her, and patted the place next to him. "Come here."

She tried her best to hold back her tremor. "Where's my brother?"

He stared at her for a while. "Do you want to see him?"

"Yes!"

"He's the reason why you were kidnapped and were almost raped. I should have let him die right there. Why do you want to see him?" The way Vincent looked at her seemed like he was looking at a fool.

Blood drained from her face, and her hands trembled slightly.

"I'll take care of him for you. Be good and don't worry about this," said Vincent in a milder tone.

All of a sudden, she raised her head and snapped, "What will you do to him? Where is he now? Are you going to kill him like you killed that man?"

Vincent didn't say anything.

She couldn't help but shriek in a shrill and shaky voice, "M-Murderer!"

Her remark made Vincent snap and his eyes became stern. "What did you say?"

A shiver ran down Elaine's spine at the sight of his sharp eyes.
