Chapter 137 Is It Really That Hard to Ask Him for Help?
"Do you really like her?" Tyler's voice was stern and commanding.
"Yes."
Tyler's eyes flashed with anger. "Then you better drop it, or the Wright family will face the consequences."
Sharon calling the cops and getting David arrested had already pushed Tyler's limits. He wouldn't let Alex have any more ties with her, risking the Smith family's reputation.
Seb's eyes turned cold. He stared at Tyler and said, "Dad, if you go after the Wright family, I'll go after the Smith group."
The Smith group was Tyler's life's work, his pride and joy.
Tyler glared at Seb. "Are you really going to go against the Smith family for Sharon?"
"Dad, it's not about going against you; it's about you interfering with my relationship."
"If you were with any of the women your mother introduced, we wouldn't care. But Sharon is Alex's wife, and you still want to get involved with her. How can the Smith family hold its head up in Metropolis after this?"
"I like her; I don't care what others say."
Tyler sneered, "You may not care, but now that you have your own company, I can't control you anymore. If you really want to be with her, then consider your mother and me dead, and never come back here!"
With that, Tyler stormed out.
Sandra woke up after being unconscious for over an hour. She looked around the bedroom, disappointed not to see Seb.
"Where's Seb?"
Clara frowned. She had been taking care of Sandra, but as soon as Sandra woke up, she asked for Seb. Clara was annoyed.
"Mom, don't bother looking. He left shortly after you fainted."
Sandra's face turned even paler. The butler quickly said, "Mrs. Smith, Mr. Seb had some business at the company. He left after taking a call."
Seeing Sandra relax a bit, the butler looked disapprovingly at Clara. "Mrs. Clara, I'll take care of Mrs. Sandra. You've had a long day; you should rest."
Clara nodded. "Alright, call me if anything happens."
"Okay."
After Clara left, Sandra looked sorrowful. She turned to the butler, choking up. "Why does Seb like Sharon? There are so many women in Metropolis, but he chose Sharon, and there was no sign of it before..."
The butler quickly wiped Sandra's tears. "Mrs. Smith, don't think about it now. The most important thing is that Mr. David is still at the police station. Once we resolve his issue, we can slowly persuade Mr. Seb."
Sandra shook her head. "I don't think we can persuade him. No one has ever changed Seb's mind once he's decided on something. But if he really gets involved with Sharon, I'll die in front of him!"
"Mrs. Smith, you shouldn't say that. Besides, nothing has happened between Mr. Seb and Sharon yet; the situation will change."
"If Sharon dares to get involved with Seb, I won't let her off!"
Sharon seducing Seb was even more unacceptable to Sandra than Sharon getting David arrested.
After all, David did cause the Wright family to go bankrupt. Although Sandra was angry, she understood.
But Seb was her pride. Sharon daring to have ill intentions on Seb was utterly shameless!
Seeing Sandra's anger, the butler knew she couldn't accept Seb liking Sharon and didn't try to persuade her further.
Leaving the Smith Mansion, Seb drove straight to find Sharon.
After arriving downstairs, he hesitated to get out of the car.
Seb had guessed that Sharon had schemed against David, and he was somewhat angry.
He was angry that she didn't discuss it with him and did something so dangerous.
David had caused the Wright family to go bankrupt, and he was part of the Smith family. Seb wasn't sure if Sharon hated him too.
After sitting in the car for a while, Seb was about to drive away when he saw Sharon coming out of the building in casual clothes, carrying two bags of trash.
His gaze softened as he watched her.
Sharon noticed Seb's car and paused. After a moment, she threw the trash away and walked towards him.
As she stopped a few steps from the car, the driver's side window rolled down.
Their eyes met, and for a moment, neither spoke.
Finally, Sharon bit her lip and said, "Uncle Seb, are you here to blame me?"
Seb's eyes darkened, and a cold smile appeared. "If I came to blame you, do you think you'd be standing here talking to me?"
Sharon's face paled, and she looked away. "Then why are you here?"
Seb frowned and got out of the car.
Sharon felt a wave of panic and instinctively wanted to step back, but Seb's deep voice stopped her. "Don't move!"
She froze as Seb quickly approached.
He towered over her, his presence overwhelming. Sharon's hand trembled slightly, feeling trapped.
"Uncle Seb, you..."
Seb lifted her chin, making her look at him.
Caught in his deep, dark eyes, Sharon's panic grew, and she clenched the hem of her clothes.
"You sent my brother to the police. Now everyone in the Smith family hates you. Alex won't help you either. Did you think about what would happen if the Smith family came after you and your dad? Can you handle that?"
Seb's tone was flat, but Sharon's eyes narrowed, and she trembled slightly.
She hadn't thought about what to do if the Smith family retaliated.
Sharon bit her lip and took a deep breath. "I have to seek justice for my family."
Seeing her stubborn expression, Seb's eyes filled with anger, and he tightened his grip on her chin.
Seb wondered, 'Is it so hard for her to ask me for help? Does she have to face these dangers alone?'
"Is this justice more important than your life?"
"Yes."
Seb laughed coldly. "Fine, don't regret it!"
He released her and turned to get back in the car, radiating anger.
Sharon didn't understand why Seb was angry, but she thought it was best to clarify things.
"Uncle Seb, I hope you won't come to see me privately again. I sent your brother to the police, and it will be awkward for us to meet. For the experiment at Silvercrest Group, I'll apply to Medica Care International Pharmaceuticals to reassign a researcher. Let's pretend we don't know each other."
Seb turned to look at her, his eyes filled with anger.
Sharon didn't know why he was looking at her like that, but she felt he was very dangerous. As she turned to leave, a large hand grabbed her waist.
Seb lifted Sharon with one hand, spun her around, and pressed her against the car door.
Before she could react, Seb's lips crashed down on hers in a fierce kiss.
