Susan kept trying to run to the windowsill with tears on her face. "Let go of me, Dad, let me die. I will die with the child...""Don't, Susan, don't do stupid things!"Shawn stepped forward and took Susan from the dean. "Don't cry."Susan leaned against his arms and said, "Mr. Wood, I'm useless. Please beat me and scold me. It's my fault..."Shawn patted her back silently.He was also sad, but he could not show it and kept it silently in his heart.Susan raised her hand to wipe her tears and looked at Gale.Looking at her calculating eyes, Gale had a bad feeling.Sure enough, Susan began to pull the victim card."I live in Temperley Hall because Mr. Wood wants me to take better care of the baby. I understand that you are not happy, but...but why are you hurting me?""Me? Hurting you?""I saw that you stepped backward and were about to fall down the steps, so I kindly wanted to help you. As a result, you grabbed my hand and dragged me down with all your might! Gale! You know

Shawn said, "She is pregnant, but not with my child.""I know. You said you didn't touch her, and I believe you. However, her child is still there! What should I do!" Susan sobbed."Take good care of your body, and we can try again in the future."Susan was very unwilling. "I'm so miserable now. What else to say about the future...I'll just kill myself!" After speaking, she suddenly pushed Shawn away and slammed straight into the wall.Dean shouted, "Susan! Don't be stupid!"How would Susan really kill herself? She deliberately slowed down and let Shawn successfully hold her and drag her back.She struggled and said, "Let go of me, Mr. Wood. I'm really useless, I can't save my child, and I can't take revenge... It's obviously Gale's fault, but she still won..."Shawn held her down and looked at Gale coldly. "Who said that you can't get revenge?""Mr. Wood...""What do you want Gale to do? She must do it. This is what she owes you."Susan's eyes flashed triumphantly.This was

The firmness in Gale's eyes was instantly disintegrated by his words.Family was her eternal weakness."Do you understand? So, what should you do? Do you need me to teach you?" Shawn said again.Gale was about to bite her lower lip until it bled.Shawn had not done anything, but these words made her kneel down."Shawn...you're cruel."He just raised his chin, quietly waiting for her to surrender.Gale shook off Dean's hand and licked the blood from the corner of her lips. It tasted metallic.Shawn knew what buttons to push to take away whatever dignity she had left.The dean could not get her to bend her knees no matter what. At this time, she slowly prepared to kneel down.At this moment..."Gale!" A crisp voice sounded.Everyone looked at the door in unison.Summer came running in and quickly helped Gale up. "What are you doing!""Summer..."Summer said steadily, supporting her, "I knew something must have happened when you didn't come to work!""Why are you here?""

Summer laughed and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. Susan's miscarriage is called retribution. She is the mistress, and she is pregnant with a bastard. The child is nameless and will not be recognized. God can't stand it anymore."When she thought that Shawn was married and had a child with Susan, she felt a chill.Summer held Gale. "Let's go. Let's go home."At critical moments, her friend always came forward, regardless of right or wrong, and stood by her side resolutely and unconditionally.Gale was lucky.Dean stopped them. "You want to go? No way! You can go, but Gale needs to stay!""Who are you? What right do you have to restrict our personal freedom?""She killed Susan's child!"Summer asked, "Where's the evidence? Two people fell together, and I haven't questioned you yet!"The dean was still angry. "Mr. Wood, who is this arrogant woman?"Shawn gave Summer a deep look. "Go out. This is not the place you should be.""I'm going to leave! There's a dog blocking the w

Joe smiled and said, "Don't be angry. You will grow old quicker, and your face will be wrinkly."Shawn stepped forward to try to drag Gale away, but Joe quickly blocked him. "If you are angry, you should calm down first, so as not to do something unreasonable."He walked out slowly.When Shawn was about to get angry, he ran away in a hurry.Susan pulled on his sleeve, crying. "Mr. Wood, my child can't die in vain. I haven't even decided what to do, Dad just asked Gale to apologize, and she looked like she would rather die than give in...""Yes, a child is a life, no matter what. Gale has to give an explanation!" Dean said, quietly winking at Susan.Susan immediately understood."Mr. Wood, you have to help me. The child we finally got is so precious... I still feel that he is still in my belly, accompanying me...After finishing speaking, Susan fell to the ground softly."Susan! Mr. Wood, Susan fainted!" Dean shouted.Shawn held her up and said, "Call the doctor here."Gale h

Besides, there was still a family feud between him and her.Yet, he was so good to Susan...No matter what she did, she was not treated badly. She was taken care of and helped everywhere. Susan got a film and television department when she wanted to film.Well, there's no such thing as a complete scumbag. It's just that it was not her he was nice to.Gale said, "I don't know what Susan was thinking. Maybe she just wanted to use the trick of losing the child to completely defeat me and make Shawn hate me to the core. She succeeded."Back to Temperley Hall, Gale stood quietly at the entrance of the servant's room, looking at the rows of steps.She fell down there.The servants have rinsed the blood off, and it is as clean as new. All traces seem to have been erased.Recalling the scenes that happened, Gale felt more and more that this was all planned by Susan.Deliberately making a ruckus at the door of the servant's room, forcing her to show up, and deliberately talking about g

She will do everything to find the truth.Susan must have left some clues.After a long while, Shawn said, "I can trust you."Gale blinked, stunned.She... heard it right?Shawn believed her?"Are you telling the truth? Do you believe I didn't harm her?" Gale asked cautiously."I don't want to pursue this matter anymore."Falling together… was fatal to both pregnant women. No matter if it was intentional or not.Gale was even more stunned. "Don't pursue it? Just forget it?""As long as you cooperate, things can be turned over. In short, Susan's child is gone, but your child is still there. She is a victim, and you should apologize to her and get her forgiveness," Shawn said."I apologize to Susan?""Yes.""Just because she had a miscarriage and I didn't?""Yes."Gale smiled and said, "Shawn...Why?"Not just apologizing, but apologizing until Susan forgives her.Why does she still need to ask for Susan's forgiveness?"Yes. Gale, I've already made a big concession.""I

"Shawn, how many times have you pushed me to a dead end..."Gale patted his hand away, raised her lips and smiled. "There will be such a day..."These words were a bit inexplicable. Shawn did not understand and frowned."Don't know what it means?" Gale's smile became brighter. "It doesn't matter. You will know when the time comes.""What are you talking about?""Shawn, there will be a day when you will find that you have wronged me..."Gale's voice gradually became softer and finally ended in silence.The two were facing each other, less than ten centimeters apart, and they could hear each other's breathing.However, their hearts… could not meet.Every time they approached, there would always be something to provoke discord, throwing the two of them ever further apart from each other."What's wrong?!" Shawn approached her till their nose touched. "Gale, that's my child! Have you ever thought about how upset I am!?"He did not have much affection for Susan.However, the chil

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
