Aurum stood up straight. "It's pointless to tell you.""I would like to know.""I won't tell you."Natalie looked up at him. "Aurum, this may be the last time we see each other. Are you sure you want me to leave this lifetime of regrets?"Aurum did not answer her.He would not tell her, and Natalie should never know the truth.He deceived her in exchange for the antidote.That would be a knot in Aurum's heart for the rest of his life.Ignorance is bliss.However, at this moment, Heather next to her suddenly spoke, "Could it be that... Mr. Lefting took the same poison as you?"Natalie frowned. "He ate it voluntarily. He thought it was worth it. How could it be the thing he said he shouldn't do?""Don't think about it. Natalie, take care of yourself," Aurum said.Just pretend that she never appeared!However, Heather's mind was moving!She ran it through in her mind and suddenly thought of something!"No! There must be something else!" Heather shouted.Natalie looked at h

Matthew stood still.How could he just leave?Seeing that Matthew did not help, Aurum could only cover Heather's mouth with one hand, hold her shoulder with the other, and drag her outside.Gale saw this and stepped forward to help.What Heather just said was too dangerous...No one expected that Heather would see through Aurum's true plan at a glance!Gale knew that Aurum wanted to hide it. After all, the truth was too cruel, and there was no need to rub salt into Natalie's pain.Anyway, the antidote has been obtained, and Nicole has regained consciousness.It was better to hide it as much as possible!However, Natalie suddenly ran toward Heather in a crazy manner.Natalie knocked Gale away!Gale just walked forward to help Aurum, thinking that Heather was a very aggressive woman. Aurum had always been a gentleman, so he would definitely not be able to subdue her.Natalie collided with them.Gale fell."Galey!"Shawn ran toward her.However, he was a distance away. B

Slowly, she looked at Aurum.Gale endured the pain of her fall and said, "Aurum, you go first. Leave this to me."Aurum was not good at lying.Moreover, he could not lie to Natalie. Even if he did it reluctantly, it would be full of loopholes and could be seen through at a glance.So there was no point in him staying here. He might as well leave.She or Shawn could deal with Natalie.Aurum also understood and nodded. "Okay."He could not face Natalie because he had lied to her.Once Natalie asked, he would not know how to answer her.Aurum turned around. As soon as he took a step, he heard Natalie's voice. "Stop."He paused.Natalie walked up to him and blocked his way. "You want to leave?""Yes.""Won't you save me?""You are hopeless. I have tried my best," Aurum said.Natalie looked at him and started laughing.Her laughter was wilful, echoing in the living room. So shrill and harsh.How could anyone laugh like this? She laughed so horribly that tears flowed out of

"You can't lie, Aurum, I know that much. The closer you are to someone, the less likely you are to tell lies… Unless, you're treating me…" Natalie said.After pausing for a few seconds, she laughed again. "Yes, you have always treated me as your sister. I almost forgot.""But this time, I hope you lie! If you lie to me again, I won't feel so terrible."Natalie really wanted to be deceived by him for the rest of her life.She did not want to know the truth.It was all Heather's fault that she knew the bloody truth."You misunderstood Aurum." Gale came over, stood between the two of them, and looked at Natalie on the ground. "Aurum took the poison to take you back to his house. I didn't even think about it at the time. I was there and found out later."Natalie raised his head and stared at Gale carefully."I want Aurum to say these things to me, not you!" She gritted her teeth. "Why are you interrupting!""He's already exhausted physically and mentally because of you. How else d

She distanced herself from Aurum and put the responsibility on her and Shawn. In this case...Maybe Natalie would feel better, and Aurum would feel better too.However, Natalie did not believe it.Natalie pointed her hand back and forth at them. "This requires the full cooperation of the three of you! How could Aurum not know about it? How could he stay out of it!""Whether I hand over the antidote or not, you will eventually cure Aurum. There is no way you can torture him like you tortured me!""You just teamed up to lie to me, you lied to me!""Aurum! I love you so much! Is this what my love meant to you?" Natalie shouted.Aurum met her eyes, and after three seconds, he said, "I'm sorry."Natalie's body shook violently.He admitted it.Gale glanced at Shawn deeply and sighed. Aurum admitted.She tried to cover up and take responsibility, but it was useless.Gale knew that Aurum felt guilty inside, so after getting Nicole's antidote, he became more determined to save Nat

"It's because you are stubborn and refuse to listen to advice… Face your mistakes and change your ways, okay?" Aurum said.Natalie gritted her teeth hard, and the smell of blood filled her mouth.She looked at Aurum intently.Aurum asked softly, "Would you do it? You only need to do this one thing, admit your mistake. Leave the rest to me."Natalie still looked at him.After a long while, she asked, "If Shawn lets me go, after I am free, can I still be with you?""Natalie..."She interrupted irritably, just wanting to hear what he had to say. "You tell me whether I can or I can't!""It's impossible. It's impossible for us to be together anymore," Aurum said.Natalie nodded. "Okay, I understand."In her mind, she had already sketched out her life after regaining her new life…She would leave Sea City. Her mother would be Heather; Matthew would lose Yarn Group, and Matthew, Heather, and she would become a family of three.They would live a life of poverty, ordinaryness, and s

Natalie's eyes flashed with a calculating light.No one saw it because she lowered her head.Aurum did not even notice. He did not expect Natalie to suddenly figure it out. He was very surprised."Natalie, I am glad you came to that conclusion! You still have a family, you are still so young, and the road ahead will be long. Don't limit yourself!" he said happily.Natalie nodded. Suddenly, she was no longer stubborn, and her thoughts seemed to be reversed."Yes, Aurum, I met my biological mother. The person I always call Daddy is indeed my dad. I know who I am. I am not an orphan. Compared with many people in this world, I can be much happier.""Yes. That's really great!" At this time, Matthew walked in from outside.He frowned. "Aurum, can you help me and get them to not be so rude to Heather? I'm worried, but I am just a helpless old man."Natalie took the initiative to answer, "Dad, tell Mom to wait for me. She shouldn't cause anyone more trouble. The bodyguards won't do a

Matthew, next to her, felt heartbroken when he saw it. "Okay, okay, Natalie, stop."However, Natalie did not listen to him at all and kept bowing.Matthew looked at Gale again. "Gale, please tell her to stop. Enough is enough. She has been knocking her forehead dozens of times. She already knows her mistake."Gale just watched quietly.She felt something was wrong. How could Natalie change all of a sudden?It was too fast!Knowing that Aurum took the medicine to trick her into getting the antidote should be enough to destroy all of Natalie's beliefs.She would go crazy, collapse, become furious...However, Natalie actually admitted her mistake?That did not make sense.Seeing that Natalie was still bowing and Shawn and Gale were silent, Matthew went to Aurum again and said, "Look, how many times has she done it? If she keeps knocking anymore, she will have a concussion! Let's go stop her!"Was this not what Shawn and Gale wanted?Did they not just want to see her crawling

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
