Matthew's body swayed, and he took two steps back, unable to stand still."The day after tomorrow, the bank will collect the debt owed by Yarn Group. If I'm correct, your loan from Sea City Bank is three billion dollars. I'm afraid there is not so much money to repay the debt on your personal account!"Matthew tried to say something. "Mr. Wood...""It should be difficult for the Yarn family to survive these two days. Tell me, can you last until the third day? Hmm?" Shawn raised his eyebrows deeply.Shawn was the ruler of Sea City.In fact, he did not even need to make a move. As long as he said the word, nobody would ever cooperate with the Yarn family!Natalie was so angry that her face turned crooked. "Mr. Wood, you actually engage in such indecent methods! Come at me if you have the ability!""You have the ability. What's the point of attacking Nicole?!""I..."Natalie had nothing to say.Matthew finally heard some clues and asked anxiously, "Natalie, what did you do to th

Slap!Matthew slapped Natalie heavily, causing Natalie to fall to the ground, with stars in her eyes and blood slowly oozing from her mouth.Natalie covered her face and said, "Dad...you hit me? Since I was young, you have never hit me. Now you... hit me?""How did I raise someone like you! Have you forgotten what I had taught you!" Matthew roared."But why didn't you ask me what Shawn did to me...""You should not have done that to Ms. Wood!"Natalie smiled bitterly. "My fiance betrayed me and fell in love with another woman. Now, my closest parents are blaming me..."Aurum sighed. "Natalie, stop being stubborn. If you continue like this, you will suffer, and the Yarn family will... go bankrupt because of you."The word bankruptcy was too heavy."You have to know that Shawn always keeps to his word, and he won't show mercy."Unfortunately, neither her parents nor Aurum could change Natalie's mind.This time, she was too stubborn!"I don't understand. Don't try to persuade

After thinking about it, Aurum looked at Gale and said, "Do you have anything to say?"Gale had been standing next to Shawn, watching quietly.Aurum suddenly brought her into the conversation."Mr. Lefting, what Shawn said just out of anger. The Lefting family will not get involved, and I will not let the Lefting family have trouble," Gale said.Aurum was kind to her and had helped her so much. Gale would never be able to forget it in her life.How could she watch Shawn treat Aurum badly?"No, Gale, it's the Yarn family who can't suffer." Aurum looked at her vaguely.Nothing must happen to the Yarn family.In case they could not bear such a big blow…Aurum dared not to think about it.He even felt a sense of history repeating itself!Back then, the Warm family were separated, and a good family was destroyed instantly because of shawn!Gale's father went to jail, and her mother went to the hospital.Would the Yarn family suffer the same?Absolutely not!Gale and Aurum loo

"Who will sympathize with me? Who will pity me? Yes, I understand what you mean. The Yarn family is innocent. They don't know what Natalie did, and they are also persuading Natalie," Gale asked."However, what would that accomplish? Could that bring my Nicole back to her senses? Natalie can hurt my family. Why can't I hurt her family?"These were Gale's innermost thoughts.You could be kind, but you should not be unconditional and a pushover.Kindness should be sharp, not weak and compromised!"So, Mr. Lefting, I can't and won't agree with you. No matter what you say, I won't agree. Natalie deserves it. She did it for herself. She wants to do it for herself. She should pay the price, and her family should do the same," Gale said."I support Shawn's decision."At this moment, Gale was on the side with Shawn.Her thinking and logic were quite clear.Nicole was their daughter, so they would truly love their own flesh and blood.No matter how others liked Nicole, they were just o

Gale glanced at the time before getting out of the car."It's past midnight," she said.Shawn let out a questionable hum.It was incredibly quiet inside the car.When Gale was about to get out of the car, she heard Shawn ask, "So, are we going to the Civil Affairs Bureau for a divorce today?"Maybe he should not ask. Maybe she had just forgotten. However, Shawn thought deeply. Long-term pain would be worse than short-term pain, and it was better to let Gale answer clearly once and for all.However, it was destined that he would suffer from insomnia tonight and be unable to fall asleep.Gale was also taken aback for a moment."Yes," she said. "Okay."Gale looked back at him and said, "You can say...no."He was so obedient, which made her uncomfortable."Galey, what would that accomplish? Divorce is something you want with all your heart. It was the same four years ago as now. You love Aurum, and you want to be with him. Your heart is no longer with me. How can I forcefull

Aurum was using her as a cover. He wanted to get rid of all the obstacles around him to welcome the return of his real daughter of the Yarn family and his princess.Gale willingly became his cover.She wanted to use it to leave Shawn.Therefore, what she said must be ruthless and heartless!Gale smiled. "Shawn, I don't care even if Aurum doesn't love me that much. As long as I love him, that's enough. As long as I can be with him, I'm satisfied. He is a good man, and he won't treat me too badly. No matter how bad it is, there will be no man worse than you who doesn't know how to love a woman. "Shawn's fingers curled up slightly and slipped off the steering wheel bit by bit.Gale's words hurt him too much.Only he felt the pain from it. No one else could!Gale said, "I heard a saying before. If a man is a gentleman enough, even if he only has 50% love for you, you can feel 200% of it.""However, on the other hand, if he is neither gentlemanly nor has a good character, even if

Divorce!She must leave!"What does it matter? We are getting a divorce.""But I want to know."Gale hesitated for a few seconds, then said softly, "Yes."It was so light that it was just a nasal sound, like an auditory hallucination.However, Shawn heard it.The whistling wind blew past his ears, but what remained in his ears was only the word 'Yes'.It was very light and thin, but Shawn felt that it was the most touching word he had ever heard.It was enough.Gale got out of the car and walked to the villa.The car lights shone on her back, and Shawn just watched this scene quietly, watching her walk away. Her figure gradually became smaller until it disappeared.He suddenly understood what Gale felt when he went to send Nicole to school with her, standing at the kindergarten gate, watching Nicole walk into the classroom with her school bag on his back.Watching a person drift away and knowing you would not be a part of their life anymore... It was certain that Nicole
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 1114
He looked gentle, and he kept stroking Nicole's cheek with his fingertips. His eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance.The day Nicole regained consciousness would be the day she left him.How could he not miss such a cute daughter? Gale turned her head away, not watching this scene.Although Nicole was young, she also sensed that something was wrong."Daddy, are you going on a business trip?" she asked.Shawn shook his head and said, "Business trip? No, I've always been here.""Then why... I think you seem to be leaving me. The way you look at me is different from usual. I thought you were going to leave me, and I would wait for you at home," Nicole said."No."Shawn bent down to pick her up and put her on the dining chair.Nicole pouted. "When will Mommy come back... I haven't seen her for a long time. Last night, I dreamed of her.""Are you missing her that much?""Don't daddy miss her?"Shawn took a deep sip of coffee. "Nicole.""Hmm?""If you miss Mommy so much,

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
