58 Seeking Help
Sonia didn’t expect that June and Sharon would abandon her just like that. She broke down and cried. “Sharon, I really know my mistake. Our Stewart family is nothing compared to the Harris family. Just let me go-please save me!”
Quayle could tell at a glance that Sharon was in a bad mood, so he signaled Perry.
Perry immediately berated his subordinates, “Did I invite you guys to watch the show? A bunch of good-for-nothings-pull that woman away quickly. Don’t provoke Sharon here.”
When the bodyguards heard this, they got busy and dragged Sonia to the side forcefully. One of them held her head and body while the other was responsible for slapping her.
The hall was filled with crackling sounds, accompanied by occasional screams.
After a while, the bodyguard came over and reported that Sonia had fainted.
Sonia’s face was swollen like a pig’s head, and her mouth was full of blood. Several of her teeth were broken too.
Quayle then looked at Sharon and said seriously, “Miss Sharon, I’ve caused you trouble today. Please don’t mind.”
Sharon didn’t say anything else and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Quayle rushed forward and handed her the business card. “Sharon, this is my contact number. If you encounter any problems in the future, just let me know. I promise to help you settle it.”
Surprisingly, Sharon avoided his hand. She knew that he wanted to get close to John through her. Quayle thinks too simply of me.
“Just give it to me! Give it to me!” June saw that Sharon was about to leave and quickly followed her. Then, she hurriedly put the name card and check into her pocket.
“Mom, it’s getting late. Let’s hurry back.” Sharon sighed and urged her mother-in-law to leave.
Although June had also been slapped a few times, she had still earned some money, so she was now very happy. Seeing Sharon’s smug expression, she felt that her daughter-in-law had given her enough face.
Before Sharon could take half a step out of the casino, the few madams quickly went up and surrounded her, saying in a flattering manner, “Oh! Sharon, we were wrong just now. You’re really capable! In my opinion, only you and your husband are promising among the younger generation.”
“Sharon looks really good; she has the type of looks that will bless her husband. My daughter-in-law is far from you.”
“Can we please ask Sharon to tell Quayle and Perry to wipe out our debts as well!? And what we lost... was also the hard-earned money over the years. Don’t you think so?”
Sharon only found it funny. “Why should I help you? Don’t you think that I’m useless? If you want your money back, why don’t you look for your own daughter-in-law?”
With that, Sharon didn’t want to waste any more time on these people and walked away.
When everyone saw Sharon like this, their hearts were filled with regret and heartache. How could we have offended Sharon with those words just now? Now, all our chances are like bubbles in a dream. We were in the wrong to ask for money from the casino, not to mention that we offended Quayle, who is on good terms with Sharon.
They didn’t expect that they would end up like this today, and some of them wanted to slap themselves. They were just greedy for a moment of happiness; they didn’t expect that they would lose all their money. They didn’t have such a capable daughter-in-law, yet they had to offend someone as capable as her...
