Winnie covered her head and crouched on the ground, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her, and she couldn't care less.This whole time she muttered to herself and didn't know what to say."Winnie." Gale called out.There was no response.Has she gone crazy? Or insane? Did something inside her finally snap?Gale wanted to go over and listen to what she was muttering, but she was stopped by Shawn."Be careful, she might hurt you.""Is there something wrong with her?""I don't know, there should be."Shawn didn't care about Winnie's situation at all.As long as she was still alive and breathing, she would always wish she was dead.Shawn never gave the easy option out, because no matter who it was, as long as it involved him, death would never be an option!Staying alive and suffering was worse than dying!Gale asked, "Isn't she still pregnant? Where's the baby bump?"After thinking about it, Gale still couldn't bear to just stand idly by.The child in her w

She staggered, pushed herself up with both hands, and smashed the vase in the corner. Then, she picked up the broken porcelain on the ground, and stabbed her chest!Blood instantly gushed out, and the blood spattered three feet far!Gale took a step back subconsciously.This scene was something that ordinary people won't be able to look at!Shawn covered her eyes again.At the same time, he ordered his men, "Take her away and send her to the hospital. The injury should not be deep, she'll live.""Yes, Mr. Wood."Gale couldn't see anything and only heard the shuffling of footsteps.After two minutes, everything turned silent.It was so quiet that there was only the sound of Shawn's deep and heavy breathing.Gale blinked again.After a while, Shawn slowly removed his hand. He turned around and sat crossed legged on the sofa.He took a silk handkerchief and slowly wiped his hands.It looked just like a movie scene.Seeing Shawn like this, one word came to Gale's mind — scum.

Shawn's eyes turned cold, "We'll see if the potion can make her succumb."Gale nodded.The housekeeper walked in quietly and led the servants to clean up the mess in the living room."I... I'm going to go back to my room." Gale said, "I need to rest."He didn't answer.Gale turned around and speedily left. She went upstairs and disappeared after a while."Mr. Wood." The butler came over."Clean it up and leave no trace.""Yes, sir."Shawn took out his cigarette, put it between his lips and lit it.He smoked one stick after another.To him, Gale's life experience shocked him the most.Both Aurum and Mrs. Yarn confirmed the exact same birthmark, and they only need to go to the hospital for a paternity test. With that, Gale's life experience can be exposed in one fell swoop...Therefore, Shawn was the one who arrived later.Aurum was the one who owned her in the first place!It made sense why Aurum said he knew Gale much earlier than Shawn!Shawn didn't understand it at th

He deliberately left them some space."Thank you." Gale said.Aurum looked at her, "You don't need to thank me. And… Jennie, wouldn't thank me either."He was trying to imply that no matter who she was or what her status had become, there was no need to be so formal with each other.Gale didn't dare to look at him, and lowered her head slightly.Aurum brushed past her and exited.He spent the whole night in the hospital, feeling a little haggard, and the stubble on his chin had grown.The door closed softly.Gale's feet suddenly felt heavy; she couldn't take it upon herself to go to the bed.Mary didn't call her either.It was so silent until the sound of another patient sobbing could be heard in the ward."Mrs. Yarn," Gale walked over slowly, "I brought you a bouquet of flowers."She was at a loss, not knowing how to face her… biological mother."If you address me as Mrs. Yarn, then… Should I call you Mrs. Wood?" Mrs. Yarn wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes, "Have

Mary was flooded by the questions and was taken aback."These are real problems that cannot be solved with a paternity test."After raising Natalie for so many years, they would have developed feelings for her, right?Gale and the Yarn family are related by blood.Natalie and the Yarn family were related by the accumulated experience shared for more than 20 years!"Mrs. Yarn," Gale still called her, "I can see that you still have a soft heart for Natalie."Ever since Gale appeared in the ward, Mrs. Yarn never mentioned the mistakes Natalie made!"I… I watched her grow up and raised her with my own hands. It is true that I have a soft spot for her. Natalie is a good child. She's always excelled in her studies since she was a child. She is also cheerful and generous. Everyone praises her. I can't believe that she would do such a terrible thing.”"So, Mrs. Yarn, as long as Natalie is willing to bow her head and admit her mistakes, will you ask me to forgive her?""No. If she is w

"She-"Matthew hastily interrupted again, "Are you sure? Don't be fooled, there are a lot of impostors nowadays! Besides, Jennie has been missing for more than twenty years. We don't even know what she looks like! How can you recognize her?""Jennie has a birthmark on her body, have you forgotten?""Birthmark... Ah, yes, the birthmark." He nodded, "What if the birthmark was tattooed on? How do you know it's real? What if someone deliberately used the birthmark to intrude on our family?"Mary has always been good-tempered, but at this time, she couldn't help but raise her voice, "The Yarn family is well known. There is no one in Sea City who will dare to intrude on us now for fear of offending Shawn. Who would dare do such a thing?"Matthew was silent all of a sudden, and after a while he said in a lackluster manner, "I'm worried that you will be used by others."Gale listened beside him with complicated emotions.Her biological father was reacting badly to her sudden return...

"You seem distracted."Matthew waved his hand, "No, no."As he spoke, he walked out of the waiting room.Unexpectedly, outside, Shawn had his hands behind his back with an upright position.Matthew was surprised, "Mr. Wood!"Shawn's eyes swept across him lightly, and finally fell on Gale."Are the results out?" he asked."Not yet."Gale's expression showed no joy or anger, her hair hanging by her ears. She looked melancholy and peaceful.Mrs. Yarn said, "We're still waiting for the results. However, I don't need to wait for it to be true, I am sure that she is my daughter. She's my Jennie, who has been missing for many years!"Shawn pursed his thin lips lightly.What else was there to say?Gale is the lost biological daughter of the Yarn family, so how can Shawn attack the Yarn family and force Natalie to reveal the solution to the spell?If Natalie knew that the Yarn family had found their own daughter, and that it was Gale, she might not be able to bear the blow. She mig

"Mr. Wood...""I'll give you ten minutes." Shawn put down his words, "I hope you can persuade her successfully, otherwise… She'll face something worse than death!"Matthew said excitedly and happily, "Thank you! I will do my best!"Shawn quickly caught up with Gale.His hand fell on her waist, "Are you okay?""No.""Gale, you've always been so stubborn."She bit her lower lip lightly, her nose was sore, and her eyes were misted."Shawn, what do you think... Is the blood relationship stronger, or the emotion produced by two decades of companionship more worthy of nostalgia?"Hearing her question, Shawn knew that she was affected by the conversation just now.She was sad that Matthew cared more about Natalie than her.She was sad that she couldn't seem to integrate into the Yarn family seamlessly.However, Shawn, a steely man, was not very good at comforting others.After thinking for a long time, he said, "Well… The result hasn't come out yet, and the elders of the Yarn fam

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
