"Shut up!" Liam glared at Harvey. "I don't want to talk about this!"
Harvey chortled and said, "Ruthlessness is the mark of a truly great man!"
"I would not stoop to make a move on a woman!"
"You'll only harm yourself if you're softhearted to others."
"I have my own plans. I don't need you to tell me what to do."
"Liam Frazier, you will regret it one day!"
Sharon couldn't understand what they were saying, but she felt something was amiss. They seemed to be talking about her or something else. She couldn't figure it out for a while, but she didn't dare to make a sound and stood still silently.
Liam was reluctant to argue with him on this matter, so he dropped the subject and asked directly, "What are you doing here?"
Harvey still fixed his gazes on Sharon as he said, "I need to talk to you."
"If so, go and take a seat inside." Liam nodded, inviting him in instead of driving him away.
Sharon was a little anxious. Why did he invite him in? He should kick him out.
Harvey laughed and fixed his blunt and undisguised glance on Sharon. "In that case, let's go in and have a seat together."
Sharon turned her face away and avoided his sight.
Harvey passed by her and gently said, "Miss Cruz, your reputation precedes you. It's my pleasure to meet you today."
"How did he know my last name?" Sharon thought, anxious.
Who was this man? Why did he look at her as if he was going to swallow her alive?
Sharon felt a chill down her spine, and fear spread in her heart.
Liam obviously knew this man. She was just a weak woman. If the two of them joined hands to bully her, she had no way to run.
Sharon thought about whether she could escape or not later.
"William, send Miss Cruz back in person!"
When she was thinking about her escape attempt, Liam, who stood in front of her, suddenly spoke.
Sharon was stunned and looked at him in astonishment.
Liam turned around and walked into the study. Harvey's face was twisted in a disdainful scowl.
William came over, stopped in front of the stunned Sharon, and said respectfully, "Miss Cruz, this way please."
Sharon came to her senses, thanked him in a low voice, and quickly followed William down the stairs.
Harvey looked grumpier than ever. "Liam, what do you mean by that?"
Liam turned his head lazily. "Didn't you say that you need to talk to me? Spill it. What is so important?"
Harvey sneered and said, "Liam, you protected that woman so much. Did you really fall in love with her?"
"It's my business, but I warn you, Harvey Wells, that you'd better not make a move on her. I don't have any objections to what you want to do to Stanley, but if you hurt Sharon, I'll go after you personally."
Although Liam hated Stanley, he disdained to make a move on a woman.
Harvey was so pissed he laughed instead. "Liam, don't forget that we, the Wells Family, consolidate your status. We can help a person gain his status, but we can also bring him down."
Liam smiled lightly and said, "This is Beachmarsh City. You, Harvey Wells, still rely on me to live your life here. I'd like to see how you can bring me down."
Harvey stared at him coldly, suppressing his anger.
He was right. This was Beachmarsh City, which was the territory of the Jones family. He had to be scrupulous no matter what he did.
Coming out of Liam's house, Harvey panted in extreme rage. He thought he had a pawn in his hands, but he didn't expect that Liam would go against him for a woman.
"Bah!"
He sneered, "One day, I will let you two brothers die in front of me!"
His subordinate carefully asked. "Mr. Wells, where are you going next? Are you going home?"
"No, to the bar!"
"Okay."
The subordinate nodded and started the car to leave.
At the bar.
After calling several young ladies to come into his room, Harvey spiked their wine. After drinking the glass of wine, the ladies couldn't help it but lean their body against him. He hugged one of them and began making out.
Soon after he finished, he rested on the sofa for a while, then pushed away the woman in his arms and got up to go to the restroom.
However, he didn't expect that he would meet someone he knew in the hall when he came out of the restroom.
Squinting his eyes and staring at the curvy figure, Harvey slowly walked over.
Today, Jewel was brought to the bar by her peers. Some of them were senior investors in the industry. In the past, she was so lofty that she disdained to come to such gatherings, but now...
She didn't know whether it was her illusion or she had been overthinking it, but since she got Sharon arrested last time, the number of contracts for her had decreased.
She went to inquire about this at her company. They seemed to support her, but they didn't arrange any work for her.
The small- time bosses of the company wouldn't dare to do this to her unless they received an order from someone.
There was no one else who could control the life and death of her career except for Stanley.
Was it him...
Why didn't that woman just die?
Harvey seemed to know what she was thinking. "Miss Russell, as long as you get rid of Sharon, everything that belongs to you will return to you. Do you have the guts to do it?"
Jewel was not dimwitted. Her crazy mind slowly calmed down as she said, "Do you want to use me to get rid of Sharon Cruz? Do you also have a grudge against her?"
"No, but Stanley loves her. If I can hurt her, I can hurt Stanley."
Jewel sneered. "I love Stanley. Do you think I will help you to hurt his feelings?"
"So you're just going to stand by and watch Sharon take away everything from you?"
Of course not!
Jewel was rabid. Sometimes, she even thought that if she couldn't be with Stanley, then she wouldn't let any woman be with him.
Now Harvey's remarks were like a seed that had buried in her heart and gradually grew into weeds and went wild.
"Besides, I won't do anything to Stanley. I just have some old grudges with him."
"What old grudge?"
Harvey lied to her and said, "My wife died because of him. I want to make him taste the pain of losing a loved one."
Jewel seemed to believe him. "That's why you hate Stanley."
"Yes."
"How can I believe that you won't do harm to Stanley?"
"Of course I won't. Isn't he in love with Sharon? Then kill Sharon. I want him to taste the pain of losing his lover, just like me. I want him to live in this pain for the rest of his life! That's why I won't do anything to him because I want to see him suffer for the rest of his life!"
Jewel sneered. "Mr. Wells, how do you know that Stanley loves Sharon? What if he doesn't?"
Harvey knew that Jewel was jealous. He smiled lightly and said, "I believe you can see whether he loves her or not."
Jewel bit her lip in irritation.
She didn't know whether Stanley loved Sharon or not, but she could see that Stanley was particularly nice to Sharon, even better than her.
Stanley could only be hers. He could only be nice to her. She did not deserve any of this.
"I want to make Stanley suffer. You want Sharon to die. We can make a perfect team together, don't you think?" Harvey said slowly, tempting her.
Jewel was mesmerized by his ideal scheme and slowly made up her mind. "A-Are you sure you only want to kill Sharon and will not harm Stanley?"
"Of course."
Jewel thought, "Then I should let him kill her. I can use him to get rid of a rival in love."
