"He... he is using me as a weapon!"Heather was initially arrogant because she felt she could be tough with Matthew's help.Unexpectedly, she was a complete clown!If she had known earlier, she might as well not have come!Now that she has shown herself, the days ahead would be difficult!Mary found out her own daughter, Natalie, offended Mr. Wood, and Matthew's company shut down. Matthew did not mention a single word to her about these things!What now!?Heather rolled her eyes, thinking of a plan.She suddenly started crying. "Matthew deceived me so badly!"She began to howl, completely without caring for her image!Yet, no one bothered her and was just quietly watching her act."I've been with him for so many years. I've been hidden, and I've been poked fun as a mistress all my life. I'm an innocent girl. I secretly gave birth to a child for him, and I've never been married. I ruined my life's happiness!""I thought I could see a glimmer of hope, but I didn't expect... I
"Shut up!"Heather honestly dared not speak out.She also wondered how Natalie had fallen into Mr. Wood's hands if her daughter and Mrs. Wood were clearly half-sisters.Did their familial relationship not matter?Sure enough, Natalie lied to her too much!Shawn raised his eyebrows deeply. "Mr. Wood...""Slap yourself!"Heather trembled in fright, but she was also very clever. She immediately slapped herself twice!Crisp and loud!With force!Heather begged for mercy. "It's my fault for talking fast. Mr. Wood, don't mind a woman like me."Only then did Shawn let it go. "Get lost."Heather did not delay for a second and ran away immediately!She was finally able to leave!Gale looked back and sat beside Shawn. "Why did you ask her just now if my disappearance had anything to do with her?"Shawn suspected Heather because Heather is the biggest beneficiary!The incomparably precious daughter of the Yarn family was lost, and Heather's illegitimate daughter became the only
"When I got the tissue and looked over, you were already gone! That piece of tiramisu, half-eaten, was placed on the table!""I thought you ran off somewhere again and started to search for you, but I couldn't. The whole venue was so huge, I never saw you again! You disappeared!"Mary clenched her palms tightly. "Just like that, you disappeared from my sight. Once you left, it took more than twenty years..."Every time she recalled this, Mary felt extremely heartbroken and blamed herself."Gale, I always think that I didn't take good care of you. It's all my fault. I lost you because I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a mother." Mary looked at her with red eyes.Mary took all the responsibility for Gale's disappearance on herself.She thought, if she had been following Gale all the time, if she had been guarding every step of the way, if she had not brought Gale to the charity dinner but stayed at home, Gale would not have been lost."How can I blame you? It's not your fault,
"One, send someone to keep an eye on Heather Smith! Second, check all of Heather's background information.""Yes, sir!"Gale looked at him and vaguely guessed, "Do you think that my disappearance has something to do with Heather?""I'm not sure, but she is very suspicious."Mary was surprised. "Mr. Wood, what you meant was Heather abducted the young Gale?""Mary, please don't get your hopes up. After listening to what you said, I can tell that Gale's disappearance was not an accident. It was a premeditated plan!" Shawn comforted her. Someone must be planning all this!Yet, who planned it!It was easy to reason that whoever was the biggest beneficiary of the whole thing would be the most suspicious!Obviously, with the daughter of the Yarn family gone, Heather could sit back and relax!Her daughter would be the only descendant of the Yarn family, and she could send her daughter into the Yarn family to enjoy all the glory and wealth!If Natalie had been raised by Heather's si
"I was also a little touched by Aurum at the time. I was very surprised that he could make such a promise at such a young age."Gale flattened her mouth and muttered in a low voice, "Then...you agreed to this marriage?"That was too hasty.How could kids know so much at such a young age?She guessed that Aurum himself did not remember this matter.At that time, Aurum was not only young, but he was just a child!It was not that Gale thought that Aurum was not good and was not worth entrusting, but that such an important decision should not be made when two people are ignorant and do not understand what love is.What if she met someone she liked more in the future? What would Aurum do?What if Aurum met someone he liked more? What should she do?Mary was suddenly happy and kept laughing."Gale, I didn't agree to this marriage. It was you who agreed to it!"Gale was stunned.Ah?Did she do it herself?Shawn's face was already gloomy, and he was trying his best to restrain hi
Aurum and Gale were unlikely to end up together.Natalie was the one who stayed by Aurum's side all the time and took care of all his home affairs.So, if Natalie could take a step back and look at the bigger picture, she would still be with Aurum.She wanted to hold on to Aurum so much, not knowing that the tighter she held on, the faster she would lose it!If Natalie were smarter, maybe Aurum would come back to her in the end!"Forget it. Let's not talk about it." Finally, Mary stopped talking."Why are you optimistic about Aurum and Natalie?""Well, the two of them have been together for so many years, and there is always a foundation of affection. Moreover, you and Gale had children and careers. People, they are all moving forward. How can we turn back?"Aurum and Gale were destined for each other.However, they missed it.Even if Aurum has been sticking to it, after more than twenty years of vicissitudes, he could not go back to the beginning."Mary, you got a point. Th
Shawn, who owns dozens of luxury cars and a full-time driver, actually took a taxi?He had planned to return in her car!Gale held the steering wheel. "Fasten your seat belt. I'm about to hit the road. Should you grab the handrail?""No, trust your driving skills."Gale was not used to driving.Shawn sat in the co-pilot leisurely and comfortably, with his arms crossed.He suddenly said, "You called Aurum your brother?"Gale was so scared that she almost stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake!"I...I didn't say it! Mary said it," she quickly explained."That came from you too, she relayed it."Gale smiled. "I'm so young, so it's normal to call male friends my brother. Should I have called him by his full name? Look, Nicole is now calling Joshua... brother Joshua."Shawn said quietly, "You never called me brother."Called him brother?What kind of fetish was this?Do all men like being an older brother so much?"You are my husband. It would be so weird calling you
Fortunately, Aurum did not ask much.Aurum also knew the person in her heart had always been Shawn.Always.Gale would definitely not admit in front of Shawn that the person she loved had always been him, Shawn!If he heard it, he would be gloating!"Whether you deserve it or not... Rather than this, why not think about whether you want to take Joshua and Nicole out to play when you are free in the afternoon? Nicole had a fight with you, and your father-daughter relationship should be repaired," Gale said."She is playing with Joshua. Would she even think of her father?""She and Joshua are just like you and Aurum in the past. They are inseparable as childhood sweethearts. However, if Nicole dares to say that she wants to marry Joshua, I will break his legs!" Shawn said in a deep voice.Gale complained, "What did Joshua do, though?""I would really break his legs because I can't break Nicole's legs."This cruel old father."Really?"Joshua would want to cry when he heard th
