At that time, he would not be so jealous.Their car was parked in a dedicated parking space in the office.Fiona hurriedly ran from the gate, out of breath. "Mr. Wood, Mr. Wood, I was about to call you. Someone is causing trouble!"Shawn lowered the car window. "Trouble?""Yeah, he is holding banners in the hall, crying and shouting.""Ask the security to drive him out, or call the police to take him away. The security department can't handle such a trivial matter?" Shawn said indifferently."But… ""Um?"Fiona glanced at Gale. "The person claims to be your wife's biological father."Matthew?"Also, he brought a woman in her forties with her. This woman claims to be Natalie's mother and also says that Natalie and your wife are half-sisters…" Fiona added. Shawn's face quickly darkened.Matthew and Heather actually came to the company to riot!Dirty laundry is usually not aired, so how can they have the nerve to make a scene and publicize the matter?!There are nearly a th

"This is the first time I've seen such a horrible daughter!"In the huge company lobby, Heather's sharp voice echoed.Gale just looked at her with disdain, disgust, and indifference.Although the banner in Heather's hand was not fully unfolded, Gale still saw the words on it, stating, 'Gale, return my daughter! That's your sister too!'"Take them away. Don't let them continue to cause trouble, do you hear me?" Gale said.She usually has a pleasant face and always smiles when she talks to everyone, but at that moment she was suddenly very serious and fierce!It could almost be said that she has the aura of Mrs. Wood!The security guards froze for a moment before realizing. "Yes, ma'am."They quickly stepped forward and easily restrained Matthew, and then the rest walked toward Heather."Don't touch me, go away... I'm a woman, what are you doing, do you want to molest me?"Heather resisted.She backed away, waving her hands indiscriminately, talking non-stop. She started to te

Shawn spoke deeply, his tone calm and bland, "Next time, just cut off her tongue."Heather trembled in fright.If that came from someone else, she still would not believe it.However, Shawn would definitely do it!"I'm not talking about Mary. She's not even here," Heather blabbered.Gale warned, "No matter when, you are not worthy to talk about her! What qualifications do you have!"Heather's expression was very dissatisfied, but she did not dare to refute it.In the lobby, it suddenly fell silent.The other employees have disappeared except for the security guard.With Mr. Wood there, who had the guts to watch that?"I just want to see Natalie… She should know that I am her mother…" Heather said without arrogance.Matthew came over, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, Gale, you should take pity on her."Gale glanced at him. "You two are teaming up against me?""I'm telling the truth...""Last time, you instigated Heather to go to Mary's ward to make a big fuss, but yo

"Gale, Let's talk things out. Did Natalie admit her mistake?""No. However, Nicole's spell has been undone," Gale said.When Matthew heard it, his eyes lit up. "Really? Well, that's great! She is willing to hand over the antidote because she is willing to admit her mistake! Gale, look..."Before he finished speaking, Heather directly pushed him away. "What? Natalie handed over the antidote? Then why don't you let her go? How else do you want to torture her? What about the poison?"In the past two days, Heather had been stalking Matthew, and finally knew everything.After she found out, she was also terrified. She never expected Natalie to be so courageous!Things have already happened, the most important thing was how to rescue Natalie from Shawn!Gale replied, "She never admits her mistake.""How is it possible, then why did she give the antidote… Did you torture her? Is she still alive?"The more Heather asked, the more aggressive she became. She was about to pounce on Gale.

He did not expect Gale's request.He thought that she was his daughter, and girls were always soft-tempered, soft-hearted, kind, easy to be persuaded and easily swayed. As long as he was a little more pitiful and humble, Gale would not make things difficult for him.Unexpectedly, she did not leave any room for negotiation!Seeing Matthew's hesitant look, Heather probably understood.Wanting to save Natalie was as difficult as climbing the sky.Almost impossible.Matthew went to intercede, and she made a fuss two or three times but to no avail.Heather began to cry."I want you to talk, Matthew. What a useless man, you can't even do such a little thing. You can't even keep your own daughter! What kind of chairman are you!""I have been following you for so many years. I have no name or status. I even gave birth to a daughter for you. I dedicated all my youth to you. In the end... what have I gained?""Now I only want my daughter, and you can't even give her to me! ""Hurry up

Heather refused to leave. She lay on the ground, so the security could only drag her like a ragdoll.The security guards blocked Matthew and could not get in at all. He could not even touch Heather's clothes.Matthew was very anxious. "She has a bad spine. She can't be treated like this, let go!"Seeing that they were about to reach the door, a person walked in quickly from the outside.He pushed aside the security guards, lifted Heather from the ground, and handed her to Matthew.Matthew's eyes lit up when he saw someone coming. "Aurum! It's you! You're finally here!""Uncle. What is..." Aurum asked.Matthew was suddenly at a loss for words.How should he introduce Heather?"That's Natalie's mother. Her name is Heather," Gale said.Aurum was taken aback for a moment. "Natalie's...mother?"It was the first time he met.How could this woman compare to the dignified and noble Mrs. Yarn?It even ruined Aurum's marriage!Matthew was a little embarrassed and did not make a sou

He knew that Aurum needed help.Therefore, he stopped Aurum.Before Aurum could reply, Shawn raised his chin. "If you want to take them away, that's fine."Aurum paused. "Mr. Wood, since Uncle and Heather are here, I have a request.""How about no."Shawn directly refused.Aurum sighed. "I want to let Heather and Natalie meet. After all, they are related, and they haven't met each other yet. Maybe Heather can persuade Natalie?""So many people have persuaded her. Has it worked?""Then at least let them meet. That's all I ask," Aurum said.Matthew looked at Gale anxiously.Aurum even begged for mercy, she should agree, right?"I only ask once. That's all," Aurum said again.Gale looked at Shawn. "What do you think?"She could not agree without permission, she wanted to ask for his opinion."If Heather and Natalie are not allowed to meet, she will make trouble again. If she goes to Mary... she's going to make her angry again," Gale said."Galey, Heather can't be satisfied.
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 1384
"I tried to persuade her last time, but she didn't listen...""She will listen this time?"Matthew clasped his hands together and kept begging her, "It's different this time, because Natalie can finally see her biological mother. If you are worried, just send someone to keep an eye on her, and you don't have to leave her!"Aurum looked at her quietly all the time, waiting for her answer.It was hard for Gale to agree.She looked sideways at Shawn. "Do you agree?"Shawn reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, clasping his fingers tightly. His fingertips were slightly white.After a while, he nodded. "Okay."Heather was overjoyed and looked at Aurum very gratefully. "Mr. Lefting helped. To see Natalie have such a good fiance is heartwarming…"She had regarded Aurum as her son-in-law. The more she looked at it, the more she was satisfied.She thought that Aurum must still have feelings for Natalie when he helped Natalie so much. Then she would teach Natalie a few tric

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
