Chapter 185 Uncle Seb Should Be Well Aware
Seeing the desperate look on Alex's face, Sharon couldn't believe he had the nerve to come to her.
'And he wants me to consider our old times? Seriously?' Sharon thought.
If she could go back in time, she would've thrown those flowers at his head when he confessed.
"I can't help you. You messed up, so you deal with it."
Sharon walked past Alex toward the elevator.
But after just two steps, Alex grabbed her hand.
His eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted with rage, making him look terrifying.
"Sharon, are you really this heartless? You took over five million dollars from me in the divorce. Now I just want you to ask Seb for help, and you won't even do that! C'mon, will you help or not?"
Alex's eyes were wide, and he was breathing heavily.
Sharon's heart sank. With Alex so emotional, who knew what he might do if she refused.
"Fine, I'll ask him for you. Calm down."
Alex looked suspicious. "Really?"
Sharon nodded, trying to calm him down.
"Really, I'll go find him right now."
Alex's expression softened a bit, but then he remembered how Sharon had tricked him before, and anger flared in his eyes. "You're lying. You've tricked me before!"
Seeing the fierce look in Alex's eyes, Sharon trembled.
"I mean it. If you don't believe me, you can come with me."
A cold smile appeared on Alex's lips. "Okay."
Sharon thought she had calmed him down and was about to relax when she felt a cold knife pressed against her waist.
It was chilly this morning, so she had put on a jacket. Now, with Alex holding the knife against her waist, it looked like he was just holding her.
Sharon silently cursed, 'Alex is a lunatic!'
"What do you mean by this?"
"I don't trust you. How do I know what you'll do or say when you see Seb? This way, I can make sure you'll plead for me."
Sharon's palms were sweating from nervousness.
If Alex was willing to threaten her with a knife, who knew what else he might do.
"I can only plead for you, but I've already broken up with him. He likes Grace now; he won't listen to me."
"Don't worry, he will listen to you. Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"
Alex pulled Sharon toward the elevator. From a distance, they looked like a couple in an intimate embrace.
Some employees of Silvercrest Group were waiting for the elevator in the parking garage. Seeing this, they took photos and posted them in the group chat, and soon people started gossiping.
[No way, Sharon is playing around like this? She just broke up with Mr. Smith and now she's messing around with Alex.]
[If I remember correctly, Alex is already remarried, so isn't she a mistress now?]
[She does have some skills, juggling the Smiths like that.]
Soon, the photo was sent to Seb's phone.
Seeing the intimate appearance of Sharon and Alex, Seb's face immediately darkened.
He got up and was about to go downstairs to find Sharon when Paul knocked and entered the office, cautiously saying, "Mr. Smith, Ms. Wright and Mr. Alex Smith are here."
Seb frowned and said coldly, "Let them in!"
When Sharon and Alex walked into the office, Seb immediately sensed something was off.
Although Alex was holding Sharon, her face looked very unpleasant, and she seemed unwilling.
Moreover, Alex's hand was hidden under Sharon's jacket, which looked very strange.
"What are you doing here?"
Seb's cold gaze fell on Alex, his fingers lightly tapping on the desk, exuding an oppressive aura.
Alex moved closer to Sharon and said in a deep voice, "Speak."
The hand he had behind Sharon moved, and Sharon's body suddenly stiffened.
In that moment, Seb finally realized where the strange feeling was coming from.
Seb's eyes turned icy cold, and his gaze at Alex was like a blade, seemingly about to materialize and fall on Alex in the next second.
"Alex, it seems you really want to join David!"
Alex was intimidated by Seb's aura, and his hand on Sharon's waist trembled.
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to meet Seb's gaze. "Uncle Seb, if I didn't do this, you wouldn't see me, would you?"
"I'll count to three. Release her, or you'll learn the true meaning of regret!"
Alex not only didn't move but even smiled.
"Uncle Seb, during negotiations, it's important to stay calm and composed. Revealing your cards too early will only put you at a disadvantage."
"What do you want?"
"Uncle Seb, you should know very well what I want. Isn't it redundant to ask me?"
Seb picked up the internal phone. "Contact the heads of the contracts Alex took over and tell them that as long as they agree not to pursue it, Silvercrest Group can continue to cooperate with them and even give them an additional 10% profit."
Sharon was stunned. She didn't expect Seb to do this for her without hesitation. Her heart was filled with a mix of sourness and bitterness, leaving her unsure of her emotions.
After hanging up the phone, Seb looked at Alex coldly. "Can you let her go now?"
"Uncle Seb, don't be in such a hurry. My secretary will call me once the matter is resolved, and then I'll definitely let her go."
Seb didn't say anything, his gaze at Alex cold enough to kill.
If Alex wasn't his nephew, there's no way he'd let Alex live after a threat like that.
Soon, Alex's phone rang.
He didn't answer it, just smiled at Seb. "Uncle Seb, you really keep your word. It seems Sharon is really important to you."
Although he was smiling, there was no warmth in Alex's eyes.
"Cut the crap."
Alex smiled and directly removed his hand from Sharon's waist.
However, the next second, Seb's face turned extremely ugly.
"You dare to trick me!"
What Alex was holding wasn't a knife or anything that could hurt someone; it was just a plastic cake knife.
Sharon was also stunned, her brows furrowing immediately.
The touch on her waist just now shouldn't have felt like a plastic knife.
But if Alex really had a knife, she couldn't act rashly now. Who knew if he would suddenly go crazy.
"Uncle Seb, I was forced to do this. If you were willing to help me, this wouldn't have happened today."
Seb sneered, not wanting to say another word to Alex.
"Get out!"
He would make Alex pay the price for tricking him.
Alex's expression was indifferent as he said word by word, "Uncle Seb, the company my dad left me is everything to me. If you go after my company, I can't guarantee what I might do."
"Are you threatening me?"
