"Gale, Aurum even admitted it in person. He told me in person that he loves you, and the person he likes is you, so he can't marry me because he only has you in his heart!""You can show off. The decade-long relationship between me and him is not as good as the past few years between you and him! Gale, you really are full of tricks. You have the last laugh!""What kind of coquettish tricks did you use to make Aurum fall in love with you? Tell me, tell me, what did you do to him!"Natalie's facial features were distorted.Gale could not get rid of her at all.There was no other way. Gale could only ask for help from the person next to her, "Call the security to come...save me!"Natalie was crazy and insane, and she did not know what to do!Natalie roared, "Answer my question! Why did Aurum fall in love with you? Why! Shawn is so devoted to you, and Aurum abandoned me for you... What magical powers do you have!"The security guards of the Wood Group building pushed aside the crow
She would never allow another woman to stand beside Aurum!Apart from her, no one can have Aurum!Gale nodded. "I hate it. I wish Winnie could die and tear her into pieces. But it's not because she took over Shawn.""Why?""It's because she attacked Nicole. That makes me angrier than when she and Shawn are together!"Natalie murmured, "In other words, in your heart, do you think… Nicole is more important than Shawn?""Actually, my husband and children are the most important people in my life, and there is no ranking. But what Shawn has done has greatly diminished his status in my heart. So, I can tell you clearly that Nicole is indeed more important than Shawn!"Natalie shook her head. "No, no, the husband is the most important...""When you have children, you will understand."Natalie started yelling again, "Even with a child, Aurum is still the most important person in my life! He is the life partner who accompanied me forever. I love him, I can't live without him, I would d
The director of the security department quickly said, "Mr. Wood, I...we...also, don't dare to touch Ms. Yarn..."Natalie is a person of status.They could not touch her casually.They might get into trouble later!What was more, Gale was not doing well.In the end, Shawn reprimanded, "Get out, useless thing, you are fired!"The security supervisor was dumbfounded."Let go of me. Let me go!" Natalie struggled desperately, but she could not move at all. "Mr. Wood, I'm Natalie. You can't treat me like others!""I know you are Natalie. So what? How special do you think you are?" Shawn snorted coldly."I am the daughter of the Yarn family! I am still Winnie's good friend! Don't you even care about Winnie?"What about Winnie?Where was she?"She's not here. Besides, do you think she will lose her temper with me because of you?" Shawn replied.Natalie was speechless for a moment.Shawn's heart sank slightly.Fortunately...Gale was fine.Otherwise, Natalie was doomed!Along th
Natalie roared, "Gale! How far have you and Aurum developed? Did you also sleep with him?"Speaking of this, Natalie suddenly remembered something. "Four years ago, I found out that you and Aurum often talked on the phone, and it was very secretive. Did you just... just... "Gale looked at her. "Aurum and I are innocent. We are just friends. Natalie, stop guessing. The man you have always loved is not as miserable as you imagined. I am not as shameless as Winnie!""Then you four years ago...""It's because Aurum helped me fake my death."Natalie was completely dumbfounded.What?Gale died and came back to life. It turned out to be a conspiracy!The person who planned all this was actually her bedmate, Aurum!Natalie felt like a thunderbolt had struck her, and she did not come back to her senses for a long time.She said stupidly, "Gale you...""You heard me right. What I said is the truth. Shawn is here, and he knows about it. I've already told him."From the beginning to t
She looked at him very sadly. "Aurum, why do you push the blame to me? Don't you care about me? Am I still the same Natalie, you know? Have you ever seen me in such a state of distress?"Natalie was very sad.However, she still loves Aurum deeply in her heart.As long as he looked at her, the love in her heart would grow uncontrollably.Aurum pulled her behind him. "You also know what you look like now, and it's not like the usual you at all!""I don't care about that much anymore! I'm going to lose you. Why would I care what I look like? No matter how good-looking, elegant or noble I am, I can't capture your heart! What's the use?" Natalie said."Natalie, it has nothing to do with you. You have done nothing wrong.""Since I'm right, why did you break up with me? Just because you love her?"Natalie raised his hand and pointed at Gale. It was obvious that she was very angry."It is indeed related to her, but..."Aurum did not know what to say.It was too complicated.Gale lo
Natalie was in a trance, with sloppy footsteps and no self-awareness, like a marionette on a string, letting Aurum lead her away.She was placed in the co-pilot seat, and even the seat belt was fastened by Aurum."You don't love me, you never loved me, so why have you treated me so well for so many years...The real Ms. Yarn has been missing for more than twenty years. Years later, you still miss her!" Natalie said to herself."You're just being polite. You're just fulfilling your prior promise of getting married, right? Anyway, you can't marry the person you really want to marry, so it doesn't matter who you marry."Aurum started the car. "Natalie, all of this was a mistake. I hoped it didn't have to come to this."Natalie was silent for a long, long time.It was not until she was about to go home that she suddenly straightened up, not knowing what she thought of!"I know it's the wrong answer, but I can't find the right answer... Aurum! You said you only love the real daughter
"I..."Gale did not know how to refute."Why, what about your smart mouth just now? What about your so-called innocence and integrity? Aurum admitted it!" Shawn was also angry.His wife, Galey, was coveted by one man after another.He was jealous!Aurum's love for Gale was so real and strong! He did not hesitate to break off the engagement with Natalie and face the wrath of all the elders of the Yarn and Lefting families!Gale gritted her teeth. "Yes, he said he loved me, but there was no intimate behavior or even words between us! I have always regarded him as a friend! The most trustworthy and reliable friend!"Shawn stood up abruptly. "Gale, let me tell you, there is no real friendship between a man and a woman!"Gale retorted, "But Aurum and I have indeed been friends for four years! In the four years since I left you, I have never met him. We are always in touch with each other by mobile phone!"From the time she knew Aurum, the two of them had never had any intimate beha
If so, then what should he do?Gale was startled. "Do I love Aurum?"Shawn asked deeply, "Yes. Once he is single again after breaking up with Natalie, he will come to pursue you. Gale, by then, would you go to him?"Gale did not answer directly but raised her lips and smiled.Shawn could not understand what her smile meant. "Before I answer your question, Shawn, I have a request." She looked straight at him and said, "I wish you and Winnie a happy life together, and you also promised in front of her that you would marry her. Let's get a divorce.""Are you asking for a divorce at this time?""Yes, only when I'm divorced can I be an innocent single woman and accept Aurum's pursuit openly."Shawn's pupils dilated.She wanted to get a divorce to be with Aurum?She did not answer his question, but what she said might as well be!"So...you do love Aurum too? As long as the two of you are single and he pursues you, you will agree?" Shawn's voice was mixed with an imperceptible tre
Summer didn't know, but the more she said that, the more unsettled Gale felt inside. Everyone was telling her that Shawn wasn't that busy, didn't need to work overtime, let alone stay in the office until late at night. So, what was he doing that night? Did he have some secret that she couldn't know?Just as she was pondering this, several exclamations suddenly rang out in the office. "Wow! Look at this!" "Oh my god!" "This is so explosive!" "The hype is skyrocketing!"Several colleagues were glued to their computer screens, their faces full of gossip and excitement. Gale was puzzled and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"Summer immediately picked up her phone. "Let me see... Oh my god!"Gale grew even more curious. What on earth had happened? She hurried over and stared at Summer's phone screen.News stories flashed one after another, relentlessly. Gale quickly caught the most crucial information: "Ivy announced her withdrawal from her latest film, leaving the female
She wondered what Shawn was doing that night, that he came home only at dawn. Where did he go? Was he lying?Just a moment ago, Gale merely felt something was off, but now, she was overwhelmed with a strong sense of panic. Joshua's words about how women flocked to Shawn and how men would not be suddenly busy, suddenly flooded her mind.Even though Gale tried hard to tell herself not to overthink things, that it was impossible, and that Shawn deserved her full trust, she was having a hard time controlling herself!“Gale?" Summer called her several times. “What are you thinking about? You seem so distracted.”“Nothing,” she shook her head. “It’s nothing. I’m getting ready to work on the design. I really can’t delay any further.”She wasn’t in the mood to joke around with Joe and Summer anymore, so she turned and sat down in front of her computer. Her mind was completely blank. What on earth was Shawn doing that night when he came home so late? Clearly, there wasn’t any urgent matter
Summer chuckled, "Look at you, anyone who doesn't know might think I bully you just because my position is higher than yours. Gale, come on, show some authority. I heard from Joe that Shawn has all the shares...""Shh!" Gale quickly covered her mouth. This was a sensitive matter; it wouldn't do to discuss it casually. If someone with ill intentions overheard, it could lead to unnecessary trouble."Okay, okay, I won't say anything," Summer understood her meaning. "Let's talk about work then? Oh great designer, where's your design draft? It was due last week! You've been delaying for quite some time!"Gale looked embarrassed. "I... I haven't finished it yet...""Show me the draft.""I haven't even started the preliminary draft...""What?!" Summer looked shocked. "Gale, how did you become so lax?""There's so much going on, taking care of two children, and Shawn..." Gale's voice trailed off.At this moment, Joe suddenly appeared from nowhere. "Is Shawn clinging to you, or are you
“Sorry, Gale, I'll be more careful next time.” He hugged her, lightly brushing her forehead with his chin.Gale wondered if she was overthinking things. It was just normal work busyness that made Shawn come home a bit late, and she hadn't really minded or dwelled on it. But, it seemed this issue kept resurfacing in her mind.Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt lighter."Ah..." Gale exclaimed, "Shawn!"He scooped her up horizontally and headed upstairs in large strides. It was another night of intense entanglement. Gale was tired and sleepy. Her eyes were barely open, but just before drifting off to sleep, she managed to say, "I have to go to work tomorrow, on time... no more skipping.""Okay."With Shawn's response, she immediately fell into a deep sleep.She left everything else to him… She was going to fall apart! She didn't know what was going on with Shawn, these past two nights have been endless. Before, he might ask for too much, but he would care about her physica
The trip back home was serene and filled with warmth for Gale. Shawn in contrast, felt tumultuous. By the time they arrived home, the two little ones were already fast asleep in the back seat, slumped over in different directions."Just a moment ago they were chattering non-stop, now they're all curled up asleep," Gale chuckled. "No matter how clever they are, they're still just kids."They were her little darlings. She opened the back door and gently lifted Nicole out. For some reason, when she lifted Nicole, she felt a bit unsteady and swayed."Careful," Shawn noticed and reached out, pulling her and their daughter into his embrace.Gale leaned securely against him. "With you here, how could I fall?""No worries, maybe Nicole's just gotten heavier as she's grown. I'm having trouble carrying her now," Gale said."Let me."She tilted her chin. "You take Joshua. I can manage for this short walk, really.""I can handle both," Shawn replied."Yeah, yeah, I know you're strong."S
"Alright, alright," Joshua shrugged and said, "Old man, you do your thing. Actually, I hope you could be a bit busier.""You want me to be busier?""Yeah, just a bit busier than now. Not too much, just a moderate increase," Joshua gestured, "You're always so leisurely, it makes me uneasy, Shawn!"Shawn asked, "What makes you uneasy?""Your business. I'll have to inherit it in the future! If you continue being so idle and not managing the company well, when I take over, I'll be swamped! Shawn, can't you think about your son?"So that was Joshua's concern. He feared Shawn wouldn’t manage the company well and it would burden him in the future.Gale sighed repeatedly, "How did I end up with such... "She couldn't find the right words.Smart?Mischievous?Shawn replied calmly, "Joshua, do you now realize you're my son? I should consider you? Then let me ask you, what do you want to call me?""Daddy."Joshua smoothly said.Both Shawn and Gale were somewhat surprised.He actuall
"Joshua!" Gale turned around to look at him. "What's been going on in that little head of yours day after day?"Joshua replied seriously, "I'm thinking about you, Mommy. Shawn leaves work on time every day, never stays late. Suddenly he's busy until midnight. Don't you think that's a bit strange?"As he said this, Gale felt something wasn't quite right. But she trusted Shawn enough. The company was big, with lots of business, so the occasional unexpected situation was normal. Even if she pushed the thought further, what would Shawn do? Would he be seeing other women? Gale wasn't concerned at all because Shawn wouldn't give any woman a chance! He loved only her and she was confident that she held the only place in his heart."Alright, I think you've been watching too many dramas lately," Gale said. "Joshua, from now on, you need to cut down on your TV drama time!""No! I refuse!""Joshua, your protest is futile!"Joshua was getting frustrated; he really wanted to watch TV.After
Joshua reluctantly said goodbye to Ivy, "Bye-bye, Ivy. I'll come over again when I have time. You can come to my house too! Love you! Mwah mwah!"He kept blowing kisses."Shawn," Gale looked at him, "Does your son know no shame?""I'm starting to suspect he might have a genetic mutation."Both Shawn and Gale were quite reserved by nature, especially in expressing their feelings. They loved subtly and rarely voiced it openly. But Joshua was different. He worked his charm on everyone from the old Lucas down to babies. He could make anyone happy if he wanted to!The car moved along the road.Gale asked, "What do you think about Ivy's condition today?""What do I think?""Yes.""I didn’t observe closely," Shawn replied. "Why?"Gale couldn't help but laugh, "I allow you to look and give your opinion. It's fine. You don’t have to create your distance so strictly.""She's better than last time," Shawn said. "Beyond that, I don’t know."Even if he knew, he couldn't say.Gale reac
Ivy stared at Gale, her eyes bright and clear.“Gale, if I hold the truth in my hands, would you want me to reveal it?”Gale nodded firmly. “Yes!”“Do you want to know the whole truth?”“I do!”Ivy blinked, then suddenly smiled. “Okay, okay, Gale, I know what to do now.”“Can you tell me now?”“Not yet.”“Why?” Gale asked. “Have you been threatened?”She grew tense all of a sudden.Ivy shook her head. “No. It’s just too complicated to explain in a few words. But with your support, I suddenly feel stronger and know what I need to do!”Even if President Wood tried to stop her, she would expose it. She would vent her anger, punish Paul, tear off Aurum’s hypocritical mask, let Gale know Aurum's ugliness... Ivy decided to act on her own. She resolved silently.Smells of food wafted from the kitchen.“Dinner’s ready,” Ivy smiled. “Joshua, Nicole, did you wash your hands?”They replied, “We’re going now!”“I’ll take you.”“No,” Gale stopped her. “They’re big enough to wash the
