She stuttered and could not finish her sentence.She guessed it, but she could not believe it!"Yes. The deal between Shawn and I is that I will bring you home, and I must take the same type of poison as you and experience the same kind of pain as you. An eye for an eye."She took a few steps back!"I don't believe it...I don't believe it! Aurum, you actually took it? Why did you agree to it? It's poison! It will cause seizures and pain!" Natalie roared."Of course I know, but I want to bring you back to my house.""Why? I don't plan to repent either!"She had already decided. When Aurum said that the person he loved was Gale.When she knew that Gale was the daughter of the Yarn family.It was even when she knew that she was Matthew's illegitimate daughter. Natalie no longer had any attachment to this world.She lived like a joke, and she had just spent the first half of her life in such a daze.Natalie thought that she was noble and superior, but in fact, she was just an

"Half-forced. Since you are reluctant to give them the antidote, he let me have a taste of the pain. He also said that we can comfort each other in our suffering…" he said.Aurum started to lie without blinking an eye.It was believable.Saying that he did it voluntarily could bring Natalie's affection.Saying that he was forced would incite Natalie to go to Shawn for an antidote.Sure enough, Natalie was hooked."Where is Shawn? I want to find him!"Natalie was running around!She could be poisoned, but Aurum could not!What was more, Aurum still wanted to take her home!"Shawn is a devil! That was not a deal. He is simply bullying you! He forced you to take poison and make it sound like your decision. Why did you eat it!" Natalie kept cursing.She saw Aurum's mobile phone on the dining table and immediately grabbed it.She dialed Shawn's number quickly and decisively!"Hello?" "Shawn! Cure Aurum!" Natalie roared."Are you giving me an order?""I'll go back now. I won

When Natalie was his fiance, she took care of the whole family and managed it in an orderly manner. Everyone in Sea City praised her.She loved him.Just like he loved Gale.It was just that Natalie's love was passionate and full of possessiveness.Aurum's love for Gale was like a long stream of water, a silent companionship.It turned out there were different ways of expressing love!"It doesn't matter. I'll be able to put myself in your shoes," Aurum said."What's so good about the experience? You should never experience it for the rest of your life! It's very painful, Aurum. How can you suffer like this..."Natalie squatted down and cried bitterly.The cry echoed throughout his house.Aurum had complicated and confused feelings.Natalie loved him unswervingly and never changed.There was nothing wrong with her love.It was a pity that love could not be forced. He never loved her.Aurum walked slowly in front of Natalie and also squatted down."You felt the pain, Natal

The door suddenly opened slowly.A car drove in. Headlights cut through the night, shining straight on the windows of the living room.The beam of light flashed across Natalie's eyes.She immediately looked outside. "Who is here?"The sound of steady footsteps.Then, Shawn appeared.Natalie immediately stood up excitedly. "It's you! You're here! Quick, give me the antidote. Give Aurum the antidote!"She ran straight toward Shawn like a lunatic.However, when she was one meter away from Shawn, the bodyguards stopped her.However, Natalie did not give up."Why do you treat Aurum like this? Why! He didn't do anything wrong. At most, he was pleading for me!" she yelled."I don't want to go back to his house, Shawn. Lock me up. I'll be alone, don't let Aurum take me away!"The emotional Natalie needed two bodyguards to restrain her.Moreover, she kept struggling, always wanting to rush to Shawn."It was he who came to look for me. I did not force him to take it," Shawn said li

Natalie ran toward him. However, her knee hurt, and she flopped and knelt on the ground.It had started.However, Natalie gritted her teeth and crawled toward him. "Aurum..."Aurum covered his heart, and his expression began to become distorted.He was about to start going through the whole process.Natalie looked at him with her mouth half-opened, unable to make a sound.Slowly, Natalie's eyes began to bleed.Terrible!She began to roll on the ground, curled up into a ball. Her body was constantly trembling. Her nails pressed hard against the ground till they were bloody.After this was over, she would experience the pain of the wound when she hurt herself.The poison was equivalent to suffering two tortures.Once, during an attack, internal injury.Once, in the end, trauma.Aurum knelt down on one knee, looking at the ground. His vision gradually turned scarlet, blurring his eyes.He thought it was tears. He raised his hand to wipe it and saw that it was bright red.Bl

Natalie panted heavily.Shawn stood up and walked to the two of them with steady steps."How does it feel?" he asked.Natalie glared at him. "You're ruthless!"Shawn said, "You should be in more pain today than in the past because Aurum is by your side and experienced with you. Your heart felt like being roasted on a fire, right?""You let him go...Shawn. What do you need to let him go!"He did not answer but looked at Aurum. "Is it alright if you would take another dose of the poison? The toxicity will be stronger than Natalie's."With that said, Shawn bent down and stretched out his hands, helping Aurum up.Although Shawn looked calm, he admired Aurum a little more in his heart!He was a ruthless man!Aurum should have known what he was facing when he came up with this plan!Aurum leaned on the sofa and said weakly, "It's okay. I can bear it.""You say that. Do you want to stay with Natalie all the time and go through the pain again?"Aurum said with difficulty, "I can t

Natalie straightened her back just now as if negotiating.After Shawn finished speaking, her body bent down bit by bit, her hands resting on the ground.Shawn grasped her lifeline.Yes, Aurum was the person she wanted to protect all her life!She could die, but she hoped Aurum would live well!Just like she knew that Nicole was the Achilles heel of Shawn and Gale, Aurum was hers!"Speechless?" Shawn raised his eyebrows sincerely. "It seems you are unwilling to hand over the remaining half of the antidote. You don't love Aurum as much as you said. You are just acting like you love him very much. ""I...""Natalie, I hope you undo Nicole's spell because you know you are wrong and want to repent, not because you are threatened and forced to hand over the antidote because of me..." Aurum said.He said this on purpose to increase Natalie's guilt.Shawn glanced at him.That was unexpected.Seeing that Natalie was already wavering, Aurum added that, making Natalie think that he was
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 1295
That way, Shawn would have the upper hand!"Don't go! Don't go! Shawn..." Natalie shouted.He did not look back. "I said, if you want to save Aurum, you must first save my daughter Nicole!"Soon, Shawn left.The footsteps went away.Aurum coughed and vomited blood non-stop. Natalie was so frightened that she forgot the pain in her body and was only worried about him."It's okay, I...cough cough cough...it's okay. I won't die for a while," Aurum comforted her."You can't die! You are not allowed to die! Aurum, I won't let you die either..."Aurum did not speak any more and just looked at her quietly.What should be said has been said many, many times.She understood everything.Natalie also looked at him."I know you don't love me, but I still love you." Natalie smiled bitterly. "Aurum, I have persisted for so long. Could it be that you will defeat me?"Aurum understood what she was saying.She persisted in not giving the antidote and withstood the heavy pressure from Shaw

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
