"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.

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

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
