Chapter 208 He Didn't Want to Wrong Her Anymore.
If he hadn't fallen for Sharon, he would've stuck with Grace for the last three months.
But Sharon couldn't wait, and Seb didn't want her to suffer anymore.
"Agreeing to be your boyfriend for these three months was a mistake. Ask for anything else, and if I can do it, I will."
"Besides money and a house, what else can you give me? We were together, and I risked my life for you. Was it really that hard to stay with me for three months?"
Seb paused, then nodded under Grace's shocked gaze. "Yes."
"Grace, I appreciate you saving me, but I can't repay you with love. I'm sorry."
Staying with Grace would only hurt Sharon more and push her away.
Seb couldn't imagine life without Sharon.
Grace laughed bitterly, tears streaming down. "Seb, I really misjudged you. I wish I never met you."
She grabbed her bag and left.
As she walked out, anger and resentment burned inside her.
Grace thought, 'I can't let Sharon be with Seb!'
Since Seb was ready to leave her, she wouldn't hold back either!
She pulled out her phone and called Victor.
"Victor, you wanted to be with me? Fine, but first, you need to get rid of Sharon!"
After Grace left, Seb returned to the office.
Paul came over with the morning's trending news about Seb and Sharon.
"Mr. Smith, someone stirred things up this morning."
"Who?" Seb's eyes were cold.
"It was Mr. Alex Smith."
Seb's gaze turned even colder. "Bring him here."
Alex was in a meeting when a few men in black barged in and took him away.
He wasn't released until they reached Seb's office.
"Uncle Seb, what's this about?"
Alex was furious, thinking about the shareholders' reactions when he was taken away.
Seb looked at him coldly. "Don't you know what you've done?"
Seb's icy stare almost made Alex's legs give out.
Avoiding eye contact, Alex's demeanor weakened. "Uncle Seb, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Don't understand? Then stand here and think until you do."
Alex frowned, his voice deepening, "My shareholders are waiting. If you have something to say, just say it. I don't have time to waste."
Seb ignored him and picked up some documents.
Seeing Seb's nonchalant expression, Alex's anger flared, and he turned to leave.
But two men in black blocked his way.
These men were skilled. They had lifted Alex like a feather in the conference room, leaving him no chance to resist.
Alex walked back to Seb's desk, slamming his hands down, veins bulging in anger.
"What do you want?"
Seb looked up at Alex, calm and composed.
"I told you, stand here and think. If you can't figure it out, don't even think about leaving."
Alex's anger was about to explode. He slammed his fists on the desk. "I can't figure it out. I haven't done anything recently!"
Seb sneered. "Are you sure?"
Facing Seb's cold stare, Alex froze, guilt creeping in.
"From the look on your face, have you figured it out?"
Alex's fists tightened. After a long pause, he gritted his teeth. "Yes, I was behind this morning's trending news. But did I do anything wrong? Didn't you get back with Grace? Didn't Sharon become a mistress?"
Thinking about Sharon getting involved with Seb right after their divorce, Alex was consumed by jealousy and resentment.
"Do you have any right to interfere in our matters?"
Alex's face twisted, his chest heaving, and his breathing heavy.
Right now, he had no right.
But he wouldn't let Sharon and Seb be together!
Sharon could be with anyone, but not Seb!
"Uncle Seb, instead of blaming me, you should reflect on why you got back with Grace but still tangled with Sharon. If you hadn't given the Tears of Eternity to Sharon publicly last night, I wouldn't have had the chance to stir things up, right?"
"You're the one really hurting Sharon. I just took advantage of it."
Seb looked at Alex expressionlessly, his knuckles white as he gripped the documents, struggling to control his emotions.
"It seems the last lesson I gave you was too light. This time, I'll make sure you understand the consequences of opposing me."
Alex sneered. "If you dare touch me, I won't let Sharon off."
"Are you threatening me?"
"Uncle Seb, I don't want to do this either, but you forced me."
Right now, Alex only had the company David left him. If Seb really dared to do anything to his company, Alex wouldn't mind going down with him.
"Get out!"
Alex sneered, confident Seb wouldn't dare do anything to him, and turned to leave.
Sharon stayed in the hospital for two days and was discharged after the swelling went down.
During this time, the police took her statement. Knowing the person had a criminal record, it was likely he would be sentenced. Sharon felt no sympathy.
Back home, Sharon wrote her resignation letter and sent it to the HR department of Medica Care International Pharmaceuticals, then started cleaning the house.
By evening, Sharon received a reply from HR, asking her to come in the next day to finalize the resignation procedures.
Sharon sighed in relief. If it weren't for not wanting to see Seb, she actually liked the job.
Not dwelling on it, Sharon had dinner and then studied until 11:30 PM before reluctantly putting down her books to wash up and go to bed.
Before sleeping, Sharon checked her phone. The trending news about her and Seb had been completely removed, even the tags were gone, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, she couldn't bear the stigma of being a mistress.
The next morning, Sharon went to Medica Care International Pharmaceuticals to complete her resignation. She sent a message to Ashley saying she had resigned and that someone would soon take over.
Ashley immediately called her, "Sharon, what's going on? Why did you suddenly resign? Is it because of the trending news a few days ago?"
