Chapter 21 Teaching Irene a Lesson
Facing his almost explosive anger, Sharon averted her gaze indifferently. “It’s nothing. I just accidentally fell.”
“That’s quite a bruise for just a fall,” Alex remarked sternly, his anger almost palpable.
Sharon responded softly, “I’ve got this. Please, I can handle it on my own. No need to get involved.”
Alex held her hand and said coldly, “You are my wife. If someone hits you, how can I just stand by and do nothing?”
“I can handle it myself. Just give me my clothe
After a moment of standoff, seeing
ng that S Sharon was unwilling to speak, Alex finally relented. “I’ll take you back.”
Sharon declined, I can get to my apartment in ten minutes by subway,
Seeing the refusal in her eyes, Alex frowned, “Sharon, I don’t expect you to forgive me right now, but I hope you won’t reject my sincerity. I don’t know how I’d cope if you push away my efforts to make things right.”
Hearing the threat in his words, Sharon felt a wave of sarcasm. Alex, is this what you meant by not forcing me anymore?”
Alex retorted,

Seeing his self–righteous look, Sharon pursed her lips, not wanting to argue.She was well aware of his stubborn nature.

But she quickly thought it through. Since there was a free driver, she didn’t mind not squeezing into the subway. “Alright, the
you up on that offer,”
Hearing this, the coldness on Alex’s face finally eased a bit, revealing a slight smile.
After taking her home and helping her bring her clothes upstairs, Alex finally left.
In the car, he didn’t start the engine immediately but dialed his secretary’s number. “Find out who hit Sharon today at Medica Care International Pharmaceuticals within half an hour.”
Upstairs, after Alex left, Sharon dragged her suitcase to the bedroom and opened it to organize.
The suitcase was full of long–sleeve shirts and autumn jackets, all styles she usually liked. From the way the clothes were folded, it should have been Alex who packed them.
A fleeting warmth passed through her heart, but it quickly vanished as the recalled his betrayal, and her softness disappeared instantly.
After organizing the clothes, Sharon got up to make dinner in the kitchen. Although her current life was much busier than her days as a full–time housewife, she felt fulfilled and had no desire to return to the state of waiting at home for Alex every day. Their relationship
could never go back.
At ten o’clock at night, in a VIP room of a bar in Metropolis.
Alex

looked at the disheveled Irene kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of frost.
Irene felt the coldness emanating from him, trembling uncontrollably with immense fear.
“Ms. Robinson,” Alex called out.

Irene’s heart skipped a beat. Tonight, she and Elizabeth had come to celebrate not being fired, but just as they were in high spirits, a group of men in black dragged her in.
Seeing Alex, Irene understood that he was here because she had bit Sharon.
Irene said, “Mr. Smith, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me.”
The fear in her eyes pleased Alex, and he raised an eyebrow. “Hit yourself exactly how you hit my wife. Keep at it until I’m satisfied, and then I’ll let you go. How about that?”
Irene bit her lower lip, suppressing her inner fear.
Just:
as she was about to speak, Alex seemed to see through her thoughts and continued, “Ms. Robinson, if you don’t want to, that’s fine, but the Robinson family won’t make a living in Metropolis anymore.”
His casual words were like cold water, making Irene feel as if she had been plunged into icy water.
She k
knew Alex had the power, and the Robinson family was powerless to resist.
Irene raised her hand and slapped herself hard.
“Continue.”
At first, Irene felt a burning sensation on her cheeks, but as she kept hitting, her cheeks became numb, and she was left with only the
automatic matian.
After an unknown amount of time, Alex finally stood up, walked over to her, and looked down at her as if she were an insect

He wamed, “Ms. Robinson, I hope you remember today’s lesson. If you see my off so easily.”
With that, he stepped over her and left. The bodyguards who had been standing by Irene’s side followed him out, leaving trene alone in
the room?
The tension finally released. Irene covered her face and burst into tears. She had never suffered such humiliation in her life.
Sharon, I’ll never let that bitch go!‘ she cursed silently.
When Irene got home and saw her face in the mirror, which was swollen beyond recognition, her hatred for Sharon deepened.
Irene thought that Alex had targeted her tonight because Sharon had complained.
Thinking of this, Irene’s anger flared, and she felt a surge of jealousy.
Irene thought, The Wright family has already gone bankrupt, even worse off than the Robinson family. Why could Sharon marry Alex, while I can’t even latch onto a wealthy heir? I need to find a man with a higher status than Alex, to make Sharon feel utterly inferior!
Just as he left the bar, Alex received a call from his subordinate.
The news from the other end made his face darken instantly. After hanging up, he headed straight to Clara’s house.
Sitting in the living room waiting for him, Clara was not surprised to see his angry expression.
Clara said, “Don’t be mad. I’ve decided to keep the baby.”

ager. “Mom, do you realize what you’re getting into?? If Grandpa finds out about this, you know what the
consequences will be.
Clara argued. The doctor said that having the surgery could likely result in both Ava and the baby dying. After all, if you hadn’t lost control of your desires, there wouldn’t be this baby. Just let her have the baby. You don’t need to worry about it; I’ll handle everything.”

Clara replied, Take it one step at a time. Besides, you’ve been married to Sharon for years, but she hasn’t gotten pregnant. Who knows if she even has the ability to conceive? If she really can’t have children, Ava’s baby can be raised by Sharon.”
Alex fell silent, recalling his intimate moments with Sharon. Despite not taking special precautions, they had never managed to have a child, making him wonder if Sharon really was infertile.
Seeing his silence, Clara continued, “It’s decided then. Your father and Adam are not capable of inheriting the Smith Group, so Tyler won’t make you leave the Smith Group because of Ava.”
Alex frowned. “Mom, have you forgotten about Seb?”
If Seb came back to compete for the Smith Group, all of Alex’s efforts over the years would be in vain.
Hearing Alex mention Seb, Clara sneered, “Don’t worry. He doesn’s nowhere near your league to even be considered competition.”
As Alex sensed a hidden meaning in her words, he was about to inquire further when a servant assisted his father, the slightly inchitiated David Smith, into the living room.
A flash of displeasure crossed his eyes, and he said to Clara in a low valor, “Mom, I’m heading back.”
