Chapter 433: You Believe That?

When Sharon returned to the Beale's house at night, Talon was in the study.

She went and knocked on the door, then Talon's voice came from inside, "Come in.’

Seeing Sharon coming in, Talon asked, "What's wrong? You're not satisfied with the apology?"

Sharon replied, "Miss Beale didn't even show up.How would I be satisfied?"

Hearing that, Talon narrowed his eyes.

He'd obviously heard about what had happened.

Sharon spoke again, "But worry not, Mr.Beale, because I am not here to talk to you about that.’

"Then what are you here for?"

"I'm leaving here."

Talon probably didn't expect that she would so suddenly propose this, so he frowned and didn't know
what to think.

Sharon calmly continued, "Recently I've come to realize that the Beale's to me is a completely
unfamiliar place.It reminds me of nothing from my childhood, and I don't see the point of staying here
any longer."

After a while, Talon answered, "If you insist, I won't keep you.But the anniversary of the Beale Group is
in a few days.Leave after it is finished."

Sharon's brows moved a little and lips pursed.

‘‘So he really has some secret plans during the celebration.” She thought.



Talon saw that she was silent, so he added, "Why? You've been here for a long time.Just few more
days are not gonna hurt.Don't tell me you worry that I will do something bad to you!"

Sharon smiled, "Of course not.I just was expecting that I would be invited."

"You claim to be Doris's daughter, so you should attend the celebration, of course."

"If that's the case, I will do as you wish."

Back to her bedroom, Sharon massaged her cheeks which were hurting from fake smiling all day.

She stretched her neck for a while and then headed to shower.

When she got out, she heard her phone on the bed vibrating.

Sharon got on her bed and picked up the call, "Yes."

Jameson from the other side asked, "Finished packing?"

"No....."

Sharon licked her lips, "I need a few more days.’

"I thought we agreed on tomorrow!"

Sharon adjusted her lying position, "Talon Beale won't let me go.He says I have to wait until the
anniversary celebration is over.’

Jameson's voice went cold, "And you said yes?"

"I have no choice."

"Go pack now and I'm coming tomorrow.’ "No.It's just a few more days."



"Sharon Allyson,’ Jameson lowered his voice, "Do you think he has good intentions for keeping you?"

Sharon answered, "I know he doesn't, and that's why I'm staying."

As they had no idea what Talon's plan was, Sharon's staying was the only way to find that out.

Besides, Talon had asked her to stay, then he would definitely make her stay.

If Jameson was to take her by force, it would destroy whatever courtesy that was left between them.

Talon was a real wolf in sheep's clothing.

There was nothing he wouldn't do when he was desperate.

Sharon assured Jameson again, "I will take care of myself.Didn't you say that Talon Beale can't do any
harm to me as long as you're here?"

"You believe that?"

Sharon, ".....I was only talking about before.It's a whole new situation now.Don't you understand?"

"Fine, I got it."

Sharon knew that his worries were not without reason, and she didn't want to argue more either.

"I'll pack the things I need.Clothes and all that, I'll just leave them here.Are you happy now?"

"That's more like it.’ Sharon yawned, "I need to sleep now.Good night."

Thunders started roaring later that night and rain was pouring.

Sharon was woken by a nightmare.



When she opened her eyes, she saw that the curtain was blown wide open by the wind and rain was
falling inside the room.

She got up to close the window but saw Talon Beale downstairs getting in his car.

‘Where is he going at this hour?" Sharon frowned.

She hid behind the curtain when the headlights went on.

As the lights faded, she turned and watched the car moving through the gate.

She went back to her bed and took a look at the time.

It was 3:30.

She thought for a while and then put on a coat.

‘Perhaps even Natalia has no idea of his departure; maybe now is the time”

But she knew the door to the study was probably locked.She came to Talon Beale's bedroom door and
lightly pushed it open.

After making sure there were no monitors, she turned on her cellphone flashlight and started searching.

Talon was cautious and left nothing important on his desk but a few books.

Sharon searched around and found nothing.

As she was about to leave, she saw a painting on the wall.

Suddenly, a few fragments of memories flashed in her mind and she took down the painting.



Behind it was a secret compartment but there was also a combination lock.

Sharon looked at the painting again and surprisingly remembered a series of numbers.

She curiously punched them in.

And it was unlocked.

Sharon found a box.

Inside it was a half burnt pocket watch.

Sharon hurriedly took out her phone and took a picture of it.

When she was about to check the other objects in the box, some light came from outside the window.

‘He's back! “ Sharon put the box and painting back where they had been and rushed to her bedroom.

She then heard footsteps coming from the hallway.

Sharon took a deep breath and went back to her bed, only to be shocked by her sweat-soaked back.

Talon didn't make any noise again after he had returned to his room.

‘It's only twenty minutes.Did he change plans or was he going somewhere close?’ Lying in bed, Sharon
remembered the photo she had taken.

Thanks to the night shot function, the photo was clear enough.

The pocket watch was half burnt.

Sharon remembered that according to the record from the warehouse, her father had bought two
pocket watches.



One in her hand and the other.....was definitely the one Talon had.

Sharon put down her phone and closed her eyes, but slowly fragments of memories came back to her.

It poured nonstop the whole night and she was kept awake.
