Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 853

Were her eyes red?

Hearing that, Vincent frowned. "Are you sure?"

Morgan nodded. "Yes. I didn't notice from afar, but I was pretty sure that she had bloodshot eyes when I saw her upfront... Weren't you the one who made her upset, sir?"

"Why would I upset her?" Vincent sneered. "It's a miracle if she doesn't upset me! Why would I make her angry?"

Ever since they had gone out, something felt off, Morgan thought.

However, he didn't know what had happened between them.

"Okay, I'll go make sure the cooks have dinner prepared," Morgan informed.

"Sure," Vincent replied plainly. He then sauntered over the room and plopped down on the couch.

After Morgan left, Vincent made a call to Ruben.

"You're finally calling me! Why didn't you pick up my call this morning?" Ruben started blabbering over the phone. "Hey, are you having fun in Sceuc Whary? I just looked it up on the Internet. It's a small town and a perfect place to catch fresh air.

There are also a few tourist attractions. Did you guys visit them all? How's Elaine? Let me talk to her!"

Interrupting his endless speech, Vincent stated, "She's not here."

"What? She's not there? I thought you wouldn't let her leave your sight at all!" Ruben teased.

Annoyed, he creased his brows.

Ruben rattled on, "Anyway, you won't believe how difficult it is to deal with Mr. Jones! He looks gentle and polite on the outside, but he's such a merciless person. I can't believe he managed to make me suffer a few losses while maintaining his calm composure... Beachmarsh City must be the secret hiding place of all these powerful figures."

Interrupting him once again, Vincent requested, "Find out something for me."

"Uh, what is it?"

"Did you thoroughly investigate Elaine's past?"

"I investigated her relationship with Seth Perkins, but I didn't find out anything else about her..." Ruben raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong? Is that brat hiding some secret?"

It was obvious that Vincent didn't want to continue. With that, he ordered, "Find out everything about her since the year she went to

Beachmarsh City. It'd better be as detailed as possible. Give me in a day."

After that, he hung up the phone.

The sound of water flowing in the bathroom didn't seem to stop. The longer he listened to the sound, the more frustrated he felt.

In the end, he got up, strode towards the bathroom door, and knocked on it.

There was a pause in the room before Elaine's voice could be heard. "What is it?"

"Come out," ordered Vincent in an impatient tone.

Irritated, Elaine shouted, "What do you want? Use the other toilet if you need!"

"I’m counting to three. If you don't come out, I'll force my way in."

Force his way in? How exactly was he going to do that? She was smart enough to lock the door!

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

After three counts, there was still no sound from the inside.

The corners of Vincent's mouth curled up as he sneered and turned to leave.

Elaine pricked her ears up to listen. When she heard the sound of footsteps leaving, she muttered in suspicion, "What a freak."

Staring at her reflection for a while, she turned on the tap and sprayed cold water over her face.

Bang!

Following the loud bang, the bathroom door was smashed. Elaine shrieked.

Thud!

Another loud noise came soon after.

Afraid, Elaine quickly ran over towards the door. As soon as she opened it, a heavy shadow fell on her head. She shut her eyes immediately and let out a cry out of fear.

However, the pain didn't come.
