Gale was indeed a little frightened.She did not expect Natalie to be so humble and did not think of herself as a human being.Natalie had held her noble head high before, but now her head was almost buried in the ground.It was so unexpected. The contrast was too great.Was she still the same person?Was Natalie possessed by someone?Gale turned to look at Shawn. "It's too strange."Shawn said calmly, "It's not surprising, Gale. If you see through human nature, you will understand what Natalie did.""Human nature?""There is only one possibility for a person to suddenly change so much. She has a new purpose, and she will achieve it at all costs," Shawn said.Bowing and polishing shoes were nothing.At this time, even if Natalie were asked to lick Shawn's leather shoes clean, she would do it without hesitation!Gale replied, "Natalie's new purpose is to get us to spare her?""I'm afraid not."Natalie's eyelashes twitched slightly. Shawn was still Shawn.How could he see

"Yes.""Aurum, you are not qualified."So, who had this qualification?The only person who could speak in front of Shawn was Gale.Only her.Shawn refused to let her go. He simply said no discussion. He had a tough attitude and did not allow others to resist!However, he would listen to Gale’s words!Matthew hurriedly urged, "Gale, hurry up and say a few words to Mr. Wood. No matter what happens, Natalie has handed over the antidote, Nicole has returned to normal, and she has admitted her mistake. She is still your sister. We are related by blood. You can’t kill her all like this!""Also, Aurum has begged for mercy. If you don't care about me, you should also care about him!"Natalie stood quietly at the back, watching Aurum and Matthew both stand up for her.With them here, she did not need to waste any words.Just wait.Gale did not expect that the situation would turn out like this.Natalie, who had always refused to admit his mistakes, suddenly gave in.So, what shoul

What he did not expect was that Gale rejected Aurum so bluntly!"Is there no room for negotiation?" Aurum asked.Gale answered without hesitation, "No."Letting Natalie go would be like letting the tiger return to the mountain.She understood that!She was not a bad person!She would not let Shawn clean up this mess!Gale's expression was very determined, with no intention of giving in.Aurum also did not expect that he would be rejected.After all, he had promised Natalie before that he could plead for mercy and protect her.Aurum thought that Gale would give him a favor for his sake.It seemed he had expected too much.In Gale's heart, Aurum was not that important.She always stood with Shawn because they were married.Aurum still refused to give up and asked, "I don't want you and Shawn to completely forgive Natalie. Can we discuss how to deal with her and give her a lighter sentence?""How can we give her a lighter sentence?""For example, let her return with her fa

Joy that he did not even notice had filled his heart."Why? Galey, Aurum has spoken. He used the favor you owe him to beg you to let Natalie go, and you... actually refused?" Shawn asked deeply.Gale came closer to him and whispered, "I feel the same as you. You are right. Natalie suddenly acted so abnormally, something must be wrong. Who knows what other evil ways she may have thought of?""Perhaps, as soon as she is free, she can get in touch with the person who helped her, and she can do something to poison Nicole again.""Aurum is a very important person in my life, but I can't risk letting Nicole fall into a situation where she is controlled by the poison because of her!""It turns out that in your heart, Aurum is not as good as Nicole.""There is no comparison between the two of them. One is a daughter, and the other is..."Gale could not think of an accurate word to describe Aurum.She did not even have romantic feelings for him.Best friend?Not a relative, but better

At this moment, Aurum suddenly saw clearly the huge gap between him and Shawn from Gale's perspective.She was Shawn's wife and the mother of Nicole and Joshua. She had been inextricably linked to Shawn throughout her life.It was an endless love thread, an entanglement that could not be let go.Even if there was no love, Shawn and Gale still had children.What was more, love had always existed between the two of them.Never disappeared.Feeling a lonely gaze staring at him, Gale looked up and met Aurum's gaze.Shawn was happy.Aurum felt uncomfortable.Gale suddenly understood why Shawn said those words before coming to Aurum's house and why Shawn took the initiative to propose a divorce.It was because she had been going back and forth between two men.It was impossible for her to make both Shawn and Aurum happy and satisfied at the same time. She would definitely hurt one of them!That was not what she wanted to see.Gale never thought about choosing between two men.

She was worthy of being the woman standing next to Mr. Wood. An ordinary person could not have such methods and thoughts!Gale smiled, "A family of three? Matthew, to you, Heather and Natalie are your family.""That's not what I meant...""Don't explain. If you want to leave Sea City with Heather, that's fine. But Natalie can't follow you."She had no intention of letting her go!Matthew begged, "Why won't you agree that Natalie will stay with us so you never have to see her again? Are you so intolerant of her?"Gale only said, "I will not do anything like letting the tiger return to its mountain."Natalie stood behind Aurum and Matthew.Upon hearing this, her nails dug into her palms hard.Gale really was persistent!Matthew was also furious. He was so groveling and saying nice things, but Gale did not take him seriously at all!No matter what, he was still her father!Matthew pointed straight at Gale's nose. "Unfilial daughter! How did I give birth to such a child!"Gale

"No more pretending? No more acting? Have you finally spoken about what's in your heart?" Gale looked at Matthew with a smile. "That's right. If there is anything else you want to say, now is the time."Matthew gritted his teeth and said, "I am just too kind to your mother and you!""Thank you very much. I have wronged you for so many years." Gale shrugged. "The woman you love is a mistress, and the woman you hate is Mary. You have no taste.""That's right! I feel aggrieved just thinking about it! I should have been crueler. When Natalie turned eighteen, I should have divorced her and honored Heather! I was just soft-hearted, caring about her losing her biological daughter, that's why I never mentioned divorce!"The more Matthew said it, the more he regretted it.If he had been more ruthless, he would have lived a comfortable life long ago!Gale nodded. "Yes, so I must learn from your mistake. Today, I will do something absolutely and ruthlessly so that Natalie will never be able

"Oh, Natalie!"Natalie looked worried as she cried. "I'm just worried about Dad's condition..."Gale said, "If Matthew died, it was because of you, Natalie! It was never because of me!""It was you, the illegitimate daughter, Natalie, who should not have come into this world. It was never me, Gale!"She did not need to blame herself!There was no need to feel guilty!If something happened to Matthew, what did that have to do with her? Matthew was only worthy of being Natalie's father, not hers!Her father has been Peter!Gale left without looking back.Natalie said, "You can be angry with me, but you can't be angry with Dad like this. He is old and not in good health...""As a daughter, why are you so fussy with your dad?""No matter what, he gave birth to you and raised you. His blood is flowing in your body..."Natalie talked until Gale was out of sight.However, there was no sad expression on her face, and she stopped crying as quickly as she could. Even a smile appeare

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
