He did not dare to speak too loudly or act out.It was because standing next to Gale was Shawn, the most powerful man in town.Matthew could not afford to offend him!"Everything I say is the truth. You can't expect anyone not to talk about what you have done. You are not a qualified father and husband to Mary and me." "You have been hiding Natalie's real identity from her. Until now, she doesn't know who her biological mother is."Gale stood on the steps, looking down at Matthew from above. "I'm also curious. Who was that mistress who gave birth to Natalie, and you hid all this time!"This woman was also a ruthless character!Having said that, people who are mistresses would not be good people. They have no morals or principles. They can do anything!Matthew was completely silent.Gale snorted coldly. "You don't need to beg me, and you don't need to threaten me with family affection. I will not cave in. I will never admit that Natalie is my sister!"Just thinking about it m
Gale and Mary looked at each other with thousands of emotions in their eyes. However, none of them said anything.After a while, Mary looked away first and sighed."I'm here to deliver something. I got here as soon as I got it." Mary took out a folder.She added, "I haven't opened it yet."Matthew was surprised. "Is it a paternity test?""Yes. The result came out for me and Gale and you and Natalie!"Matthew reached out to grab it, but Shawn was one step faster than him!Shawn took it first and glanced at Matthew with a piercing gaze.Only then did Matthew withdraw his hand resentfully.Gale watched quietly from the side.Although no one knew the actual result of the paternity test, everyone knew what it would say.Shawn quickly opened it and took out the two reports inside.He pursed his lips and read out the result in a calm voice."According to medical identification, the Yarn family and Gale are related by blood and are determined to be immediate relatives.""Accordin
Gale wanted to know as well.Logically speaking, she is the daughter of the Yarn family, surrounded by servants, nannies, and maids. How had she gotten lost?Even back then, the Yarn family offered high rewards to whoever had a lead. If anyone in Sea City saw Gale, they would find a way to contact the Yarn family for the reward and send Gale back!Unless Gale disappeared from Sea City!Matthew could not find Gale, so he took his adopted daughter in? What a coincidence. Could it be someone planned for Gale's disappearance just so Natalie could be adopted?Matthew sighed.He did not want to keep it a secret anymore."Gale's disappearance was really an accident. After she disappeared, we began searching for our daughter, but there was no news. I felt that there was no hope of finding her...""The critical time to find a missing child has passed, and the longer it went, the less likely we can find her. At that time, you were extremely depressed. You couldn't eat anything. You wer
She rushed forward and tugged on Matthew's sleeve, completely losing her image of an elegant woman. The dignified lady would lose control when faced with such a cruel truth!"How dare you do it, but don't dare to admit your faults! You are afraid that I will not be able to bear it. Are you worried about me? You are just cowardly! Incapable of paying for your mistakes!""If Gale hadn't appeared, if I hadn't found her, you wouldn't have told the truth at all. I wouldn't find out until I died!"Mary gritted her teeth. "Oh, maybe, when that mistress pressured you again that she also wants to enter our family home, you would tell me the truth!"Matthew tried to break away from Mary's grip."Calm down, don't cry. Pay attention to your own image. You are a lady! Why act like a shrew…" Matthew said."A shrew? I'm a shrew? You have done such a sorry thing to me, and yet you despise me?" Mary laughed with tears streaming down her eyes. Mary was heartbroken.How could he be so ugly and u
"Even I never knew that they adopted me. I have no memory of what happened before my disappearance. I had a wonderful childhood.""Mary, I am very lucky to be adopted by my parents and grow up to this day in good health.""I remember you said that you have always been so kind to Natalie. You hoped that the goodwill would be passed on to me. Mary, your wish did come true."The Warn family treated Gale really well. It was no worse than at the Yarns!Although the Warm family was not as rich as the Yarn family, she was very satisfied and content!"You are a good girl. The Warm family really raised you very well. It can be regarded as fulfilling my worries and regrets," Mary said.Good people would be rewarded with good things. Gale had always believed in that.To her, she did not care whether this Yarn family returned or not and whether she was recognized as their daughter.She only hoped that Mary could survive this ordeal.Most people would not be able to bear it. Even if the
"What..."Matthew did not expect that Mary filed for divorce now!Matthew hurriedly stopped her. "You are angry, and everything you say is from anger. I don't believe it and pretend I didn't hear it. Calm down and speak later…"Mary interrupted him. "I'm not angry. Matthew, I really want a divorce!""This... This is not a child's play. We have been married for decades. Why are we getting divorced?""I have a husband who betrayed his marriage, has an illegitimate daughter, and concealed it for twenty years. Why wouldn't I want a divorce?" she spat back.Seeing Mary's firm determination, Matthew panicked."You are adding to the chaos! We're at a critical family moment, and you should be of one mind with me and restore the peace of the Yarn family. Why do you still insist on getting a divorce? Nonsense!"Right now, Gale was obviously closer to Mary.If Mary went through with the divorce, the Yarn family would be on the verge of collapse.Matthew could not be alone!"I don't agr
Gale changed the subject. "If it had happened to me..."Mary looked at her and quickly interrupted, "Bah, bah, don't curse yourself. You and Mr. Wood will live together for a long time, for a hundred years!"Gale smiled.As a mother, she always wanted her children to live well.Gale understood Mary because she was also a mother.Sometimes, when Nicole and Joshua said something inappropriate, she quickly corrected them.However, whether she and Shawn could last for a long time was still unknown.They were about to break up."Mr. Wood treats you very well now. I have seen it." Mary patted the back of her hand.She only saw Shawn two or three times in total.Every time, she would find Shawn always looking at her.Wherever she went, his eyes would follow."Gale, although Matthew said a lot of stupid things just now, there is one thing I still agree with.""Which one?""Let's let the past go and then manage the family and marriage well. Look forward and think about the future,
What if Mary went back on her decision?"Okay. That would be very helpful," Mary replied.Gale was obviously relieved.She and Shawn thought about divorcing.If Mary could not let go of Matthew after being married for twenty years, she would not let the Wood Group's lawyers intervene in the divorce case.Mary was also someone who had experience.She knew in her heart what Shawn and Gale were thinking."Since I filed for divorce, I don't plan to turn back. I'm not angry, just really disappointed. Gale, do you know how Matthew and I got married back then?" Mary said.Gale shook her head."Do you want to hear it?""If you're willing to tell me, I'm willing to listen."She should also know the ins and outs of how her biological parents got together.Mary looked far away for a moment.After thinking, she finally smiled. "I just understood why you should not marry the man your parents disapproved of."Gale was a little surprised. "Could it be… Are your parents against the marri
