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 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
In the dirty and messy backyard of Sea City mental hospital, Gale Warm stared at the meat and bones in front of the stray dog.She had not eaten for three days and would starve to death if that continued. In order to survive, she had to grab food from the dog's mouth!Ever since Shawn Wood threw her here two years ago, the only thing on her mind every single day was to survive.The Wood family is the wealthiest family in Sea City, and Shawn was the heir to the Wood family, which made him the most powerful man in Sea City.Gale still remembered how Shawn Wood strangled her neck desperately, staring fiercely at her, saying, "I want you to suffer for the rest of your life. You won't be able to beg for death. You will pay it all back what the Warm family owes me!"The more miserable she was, the more satisfied Shawn Wood was.Two years ago, Shawn's father had a car accident and was seriously injured. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment due to his critical condition.
What?!Shawn picked her up with his big hands and threw her in the car.Gale retreated into the corner in horror. "Who are you going to marry me to... No, let me go..."She was a person, a living person, not an object to be sent around.He squeezed her chin and said, "I can give you to anyone I want. You have no choice."Gale wanted to cry, but she was afraid of annoying him, so tears were held back.Looking at Gale's clear eyes, which are full of tears, he felt a moment of pity.No, how could he be soft-hearted to the enemy's daughter, it's ridiculous!Shawn regained his indifference and tugged at his tie irritably.She grabbed hold of his shirt cuffs with her white and tender hands."Please, don't..." Gale's tears fell on the back of his hand. "Anything but that. Please don't ruin me like this..."This was her first time begging him, and she had no idea if it would work.Her voice reminded her of the woman from last night.There were some similarities!But... how could
Boom!Shawn smashed the phone and furrowed his brows. "Go after her immediately! She can't have run far!"Temperley Hall was brightly lit that night, with vehicles and people coming in and out.Gale hid in the filthy sewers to escape the pursuit of Shawn's men.Taking advantage of the chaos, she ran down the mountain and went straight to the prison to see her father."Father...""Gale! You're still alive!" Peter was very excited and burst into tears. "I thought you...""Dad, I came here to ask you about the truth of Chairman Wood's death?""I don't know either, but I'm quite sure that the medicine I used was right! Gale, do you trust me?""I believe it." Gale bit her lower lip late and nodded.So, Peter was wronged.She never owed Shawn, let alone atonement!"We were framed, but the matter is a foregone conclusion and can't be changed..." Peter sighed and said, "Gale, you have to protect yourself."Gale held the microphone and looked firmly at Peter across from the glass.
Jenny rushed into the building.Her aunt, Paula, broke the news of Shawn's marriage to her!She wanted to come and see who the vixen was.She must scratch her face, violently rip off her hair, strip her clothes, and throw them on the street!Jenny walked fast in high heels and completely ignored the fact that the floor had been mopped recently. She slipped on the wet floor and almost fell.Jenny screamed, "Ah!! Which one of you blind b*tches wants to hurt me!"The employees of Wood Group knew Jenny was unruly and easily provoked, so they all fled away.Only Gale was still working without a second thought.Jenny looked around and quickly found her. "You, the one mopping the floor, come here!"Gale raised her head and asked, "Are you calling me?""Yes! Kneel down and dry the ground!"Gale frowned.She stood still, which made Jenny angrier. "Can't you understand me? If I fell just now, I would definitely not let you go!"Gale looked at her. "First of all, you have to speak hu
Realizing that she had said something wrong, Paula hurriedly covered her mouth. "It's nothing. Since you are part of the Wood family, you should know the rules. Look at how indecent you are!"Gale raised her hand to cover her body. "I'll change right now.""It's really embarrassing. I don't know what Shawn likes about you. Any girl in Sea City is better than you..." Fiona said contemptuously. Suddenly, a gray suit was draped over Gale's shoulders.It felt warm and smelled familiar."No matter what she does, it's not your place to lecture her." Shawn took her into his arms, "Aunt Fiona, you are too lenient."Gale wanted to avoid it subconsciously, worried that she would get wet and dirty him.Shawn insisted on hugging her firmly, which made her even more frightened. Shawn clearly was not thinking straight…It was her who wanted her to go through the rain. Does he have a fever causing his confusion?When Paula saw him, she quickly put on a smile. "Shawn, I'm just setting some rul
Gale woke up from his dream.She looked at him sleepily and asked, "What…what's wrong..."She had done nothing.Did she disturb him by talking in her sleep? Was she sleepwalking?Shawn's face became more and more ugly. Gale whimpered and said, "I told you I shouldn't sleep here. Sorry, I'll leave."She quickly bent down, picked up the pillow and quilt, and walked out.However, she had no idea her hair was a little messy because she had just woken up, looking rather attractive.Shawn pulled her into his arms before she could take more than two steps. "Are you trying to seduce me with a coquettish look? I'll give you what you want!""I... um..."Shawn leaned in and kissed her deeply.Gale was frightened and unconsciously opened her mouth slightly.He mocked. "Oh, so you want more?"Gale regained her senses, and she hurriedly closed his lips.He squeezed her chin so hard that she gasped in pain, and her lips opened as if she was inviting him.How could she kiss Shawn…They
