Chapter 324 Do you really not Know Why am I Angry?
Rufus said something again, and Seb just lost it, chucking his phone against the wall, his face like ice.
The next morning, Sharon got up and headed downstairs, feeling something was off in the villa.
Dana, who usually greeted her with a smile, was busy all morning and just gave her a quick nod before rushing back to the kitchen. Dora, who sometimes mocked her, didn't even look her way today.
Sitting at the dining table with Demetrius, Sharon was about to greet Seb, but he rose and departed abruptly, as if she were invisible.
Watching him walk away, Sharon bit her lip, confusion flashing in her eyes.
'What's up with Seb? Is he still mad about last night?' Sharon wondered.
With Seb gone, the tense vibe in the living room finally eased up.
Demetrius, clueless about the weird atmosphere, looked up at Sharon and said, "Mom, can you make me some of your fried eggs?"
Sharon pushed aside her confusion and nodded."Sure, I'll make them now. Have some milk first."
She got up and headed to the kitchen. Just as she reached the door, she overheard Dana and Dora whispering inside.
Dora said, "Dana, what do we do? Mr. Smith has never been this mad before."
Dana said, "Just do your job. Mr. Smith's business isn't ours to discuss."
Dora said, "I hope he calms down soon. He used to smile at me, but today he was ice cold. Sharon must've done something to tick him off!"
Dana frowned and said sharply, "Dora, I warn you, Ms. Roach is Mr. Smith's guest and might become the lady of the house. If I hear you badmouthing her again, there will be consequences!"
Dora snorted. "I'm just stating the facts."
As they talked, Dana noticed someone at the door. She turned and saw Sharon, her heart sinking. She wasn't sure how much Sharon had heard.
Dana asked, "Ms. Roach, do you need something?"
Seeing Dana had noticed her, Sharon walked into the kitchen with a smile. "Yeah, Demetrius wants my fried eggs, so I'm here to cook them."
Sharon said, "Alright, I'll get you the eggs. Dora, go do your work."
Dora pouted and walked out without even acknowledging Sharon.
Sharon didn't mind. As long as Dora didn't cause trouble, she didn't care.
But while frying the eggs, Sharon couldn't stop thinking about what Dora said. Could Seb still be mad about Sophie hitting him last night?
And just now, as soon as she and Demetrius sat down, he left without eating breakfast.
Thinking of this, Sharon decided to make some extra fried eggs and bring them to the study later. If Seb was really mad about last night, she'd find a way to apologize for Sophie.
With that in mind, Sharon's movements quickened.
After making the fried eggs, Sharon asked Dana to bring one plate to Demetrius while she took the other to the study to find Seb.
Standing in front of the study door, she knocked lightly.
"Come in." Seb's voice was tinged with barely suppressed irritation.
Sharon opened the door and cautiously said, "Mr. Smith, I made some fried eggs for you."
Seeing her, Seb gripped his pen tightly, his voice icy."No, thanks. I don't like greasy food."
He then lowered his head to continue reading his documents, but his furrowed brows showed his extremely bad mood.
Sharon bit her lip, took a deep breath, and walked into the study.
Hearing her approaching footsteps, Seb looked up and said coldly, "I'm working. Leave!"
Under his icy gaze, Sharon's steps halted abruptly, her face pale. "Mr. Smith, are you still mad about last night?"
Seb looked at her coldly. "No. Leave now."
Sharon didn't move, forcing herself to meet his gaze. "But your attitude makes me uneasy. Did I do something wrong?"
Seb sneered."What do you have to be uneasy about?"
If it weren't for Rufus's investigation, he wouldn't have believed that the one behind Keith was Sharon.
Seb had just started to like her, only to find out she was using Keith and Luminary Ventures Group to scheme against him. Seb felt he shouldn't have been kind to Sharon anymore.
Sharon took a deep breath."Mr. Smith, even if you don't want to tell me, there's no need to take it out on me."
Seb retorted, "Do you really not know why I'm angry?"
Facing Seb's sharp gaze, Sharon's body trembled. Could he have found out about that? No, he couldn't have. She had been very discreet; he shouldn't have discovered it so quickly.
Sharon said, "Mr. Smith, I really don't know."
"Keith," Seb coldly uttered the name, his gaze even colder.
Instantly, a chill ran down Sharon's spine, her face turning pale.
Seeing her reaction, the last bit of hope in Seb's heart extinguished. It was really her!
Thinking about the brief moment he had feelings for her, Seb felt ridiculous. "Why did you scheme against me?"
Sharon's gaze turned cold. "Why? Of course, it's for Demetrius's custody. If Silvercrest Group doesn't fall, I'll never have a chance to fight you for Demetrius's custody."
Seb laughed in anger, nodding. "Alright! Since you dared to scheme against me, be prepared to face the consequences!"
Sharon's face changed. "What are you going to do?"
Seb said, "I won't let you see Demetrius again. Staying with a malicious woman like you will only corrupt him!"
Hearing that, Sharon stared in disbelief, the plate slipping from her hand and shattering on the floor, the shards cutting her foot, blood instantly flowing out.
But she seemed to feel no pain, quickly walking towards Seb. "You can't do this! You know Demetrius is everything to me!"
Seeing the tears on Sharon's face, Seb's hand involuntarily clenched, a pang of bitterness in his heart.
But thinking about how Sharon pretended to get along with him while scheming behind his back, he became cold again.
"I gave you a chance to stay by Demetrius's side, but you didn't cherish it!" With that, he got up to leave.
Sharon rushed to block him, gritting her teeth. "Where are you going? I won't let you hide Demetrius! If you dare, I'll sue you!"
