Chapter 836 Adina secretly sneered.
His wife had been slapped, yet he had come over to apologize to her instead.
Sophia was wrong, but her husband was clearly using her as a stepping stone this time. She was really
pitiful.
Adina did not understand why Sophia kept holding on to the marriage.
“I‘ll be the host this afternoon and treat you to a good meal. Addy, please don‘t bother about Sophia.”
Sean chuckled as he continued speaking. He flashed her a smile, but different thoughts popped up in
his mind.
He had visited the Xavier family‘s mansion yesterday and heard from Mdm. Xavier that Adina was not
divorcing Duke at all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBesides, Mdm. Xavier made it sound as if the two of them were still pretty close.
Even if they were divorced, Adina was still the biological mother of the Winters family‘s young masters,
so she could not be offended under normal circumstances.
Moreover , Adina was the Jones family‘s only daughter.
Gardner Corporation happened to have a collaboration with Jones Corporation. If he established a
good relationship with Adina, that project could likely continue for a long time. He just needed to lower
his status to secure a permanent project. Why not?
Adina chuckled and asked, “May I ask how you taught my cousin a lesson?”
“Doesn‘t her mouth always cause trouble? I just slapped her a few times. Let‘s see if she still dares to
spout nonsense in front of you.” Sean felt that he had done a very good job, so he spoke of it proudly.
Adina‘s expression instantly turned cold.
She hated Sophia, but she hated a man who cheated and committed domestic violence even more.
“It‘s not your turn to worry about me and Sophia. Please leave,” she said with contempt.
Sean did not find her attitude cold at all. He continued to smile and say, “I‘ve reserved a table at the
restaurant downstairs . You can come down at lunch hour later. We can have a good meal.”
Adina‘s expression was indifferent. “No, I‘m very busy. I don‘t have time to have lunch with you.”
After she said that, she left the meeting room.
Sean stroked his chin and finally realized that he had
been turned down.
The Gardner family was one of the top big families in Sea City as well. Countless people wanted to
invite him for a meal, yet he never gave them the time of day. But a b*tch just rejected him?
Sean left LaStar Technology Corporation with dissatisfaction. Just as he reached downstairs, a

“That b*tch didn‘t appreciate my invitation!” Sean held the woman‘s slim waist. “Forget it, I don‘t need
that business with the Jones family either.”
“Seany, if that big project with the Jones family works out, you‘ll have more right to speak in the
Gardner family than your two elder brothers. Only a fool would give up!” There was a glint in the
woman‘s eyes. “What happened just now? Seany, tell me more. I can come up with some ideas too.”
Sean slapped her buttocks before he carefully talked about the meeting with Adina earlier. “In other
words, when Adina found out that you slapped Sophia a few times, her attitude suddenly changed.”
The woman realized it. “Adina hates Sophia the most. It must be because you slapped Sophia too
slightly. Adina could have given Sophia a few slaps too. Why would she need you?”
Sean stroked his chin. “What do you mean?”
“Seany, we can do this and this...” The two of them started muttering.
