Lucas was stunned, not expecting her to agree so easily.The Wood family was so powerful. Their fortune was immense, but she did not want a single cent.Gale said, "When should we do it? I'll cooperate unconditionally." "W…What are you trying to do?""Not everyone covets money and power. Lucas, you should convince Shawn and make him agree," Gale said.Paule interrupted, "So are you saying that Shawn's the one who's not willing to get a divorce?"Gale smiled and answered, "You're right."Lucas and Paula's expressions changed rapidly.Lucas asked, "Shawn, you… don't want to get a divorce?"Shawn nodded. "Yes.""You must have gone crazy!" Lucas stood up furiously. "You can have any woman you want, but you don't want to get a divorce?!""Gale is the only one I want," Shawn answered honestly. His expression was incredibly calm, leaving no room for negotiation.Lucas watched him grow up and naturally knew his character.He was being serious.Paula's mouth was wide in surprise
After a week, the doctor announced that Gale could leave the hospital.Shawn came to get her personally.Furthermore, after getting opinions from Joe and Fiona, he even bought a bouquet of flowers.Joe said, "No woman can resist fresh flowers."Fiona had said, "Mr. Wood, every woman likes getting presents."Shawn bought the most expensive roses from the shop.He stood in front of the hospital, leaning against his car. He had a suit on and looked incredibly cold and handsome. It was obvious that he was an incredibly rich man.He got a lot of second looks!All of the passersby were secretly glancing at him. Some girls even took out their phones to sneak pictures. Everyone was eagerly waiting to see what kind of woman he was waiting for.Gale came out with a mask on. She had no makeup on, and her hair draped softly over her shoulders. She looked small and thin. She shot Shawn a look before bending down and getting into the car.Shawn had been ignored.Even the flowers in his
He leaned in closer. "There's no room for discussion. If you prepare for pregnancy, then you can continue working. Otherwise, stay at home. I can afford it."Shawn always acted this way.He would always use various ways to force her into doing what she did not want to!Gale clenched her teeth. "Shawn, I hate you so much. Aren't you afraid that I'll purposely lose the child after I have yours to hurt you?!"He smirked when he heard that. "No, you won't.""I will! I will because I hate you!""Why do you call it my child?" Shawn asked in a low voice, "That would be your child too. Gale, you can't do something so ruthless."He really got her there.That was right. No matter how much Gale hated Shawn, there was no way she would hate the child.So, she was forced!"Prepare for it." Shawn leaned in closer, his breath brushing against her earlobes. "Have a child that's ours."In truth, he had his plans.Shawn thought that the moment Gale had their child, she would be forced to rema
She looked everywhere she could, but she found no trace of the earphones.Where was it?!Gale did not even spare the bedsheets!"What are you looking for?" Shawn suddenly said at the door.She jumped in fright and hurriedly stood up. "Nothing, it's just some personal belongings.""I had them throw away all your things in the servant's room."Gale's eyes widened. "Thrown away?!""They were just some material objects. I had the housekeeper buy everything anew," Shawn said, "You'll like them."There was nothing to like!He threw them away!No wonder she could not find the headphones!Gale could not voice out her difficulties and could only stare at him. "Please, don't throw my things away like that in the future!""What's so important? All of those things were just rubbish."In Shawn's eyes, the things that Gale wore and used were horrible. They were very cheap and of poor quality.He wanted to give her expensive and good things.Yet, she did not seem to appreciate it at al
"He won't have anything to hold against me then. He won't be able to force me to stay. If he doesn't allow me to leave normally, then I'll just escape."Only an escape with the right plans and arrangements in place would have a high chance of success. Otherwise, she would quickly be found by Shawn.Gale left the office in a depressed mood.The headphones were too important for her… Not only would she get to hear Susan's conversation with her mother, she would also be able to find out even more secrets from Susan in the long term.She hoped that everything would be fine in the few days she did not have the headphones.She hoped that there would be no further incidents.Gale was so immersed in her own emotions that she was not paying attention to where she was walking. She ended up accidentally bumping into someone."Och! That's hot! Gale, are you blind?!"The coffee that was in Duphine's hands was completely spilled. Half of it was spilled on herself, while the other half was
"M-Mr. Wood…" Duphine was shocked to see him, "Gale was the one at fault!"In the company, Shawn was famous for his bad temper.On top of that, there was a rumor amongst the employees that Shawn and Gale's relationship was not a simple one. Duphine thought that she was in trouble, so she quickly shifted the blame.In the first place, Gale had been the one to bump into her!"She bumped into me and caused my coffee to spill. It stained my clothes," Duphine said, "Mr. Wood, I'm just doing what's in my rights to do."Gale was about to explain when Shawn said, "So what if she's the one at fault?"Duphine's eyes widened."I'm still going to protect her," Shawn said, "So what if she bumped into you? Did you lose a limb?""Mr. Wood…"No one expected Shawn to be so protective of Gale!Even if Gale was at fault, he would still stand on Gale's side!Gale was surprised at all.If Shawn really favored someone, there really was no such thing as 'fairness'.He would favor whoever he want
Gale clenched her teeth, "If I killed you, I'd have to compensate with my life! Who'd want to do a losing deal like that?!"He smirked, "You minx."Duphine, who was still on the ground, carefully asked, "Mr. Wood, m-may I go back to work? It's just a small matter, I'm not blaming Gale for anything. I won't take up any more of your valuable time.""Work?" Shawn raised an eyebrow, "From now on, you've been fired.""What?!""You can leave after you get your things."Duphine felt like she had just been struck by thunder. She never expected herself to lose her job just like that!Working at the Wood Group was considered the best career path in Sea City. So many people dreamed about working here, especially with the lucrative salaries!Yet, she was just fired!Right on cue, Fiona was back with the coffee, "Mr. Wood, here."Steam was coming out of the hot coffee.Shawn accepted it and passed it to Gale, "Take it.""What for?"Shawn said, "Pour it on her."Gale was stunned, and D
"Have the guards kick her out," Shawn said, "Never hire her again.""Yes, Mr. Wood."At that moment, the relationship between Gale and Shawn was affirmed int he eyes of the employees.There was definitely something between them!In the break room, they quietly gossiped."Gale really is something else.""That's true. Do you think Mrs. Wood knows?""I heard that Mrs. Wood is cute and soft-spoken. When she called Mr. Wood during a meeting, a lot of people heard her.""Who wouldn't want a man like Mr. Wood!""Shush, they're coming."Summer went to the break room with GAle.Seeing that, the others immediately left, acting like nothing was happening."They must be gossiping about you," Summer said unhappily, "What's Shawn trying to do? Is he trying to ruin your reputation?""Whatever he wants.""Please. If he dares, then he should just admit that you're his wife. What's the point of hiding it?"Gale shook her head, "I don't want it known."There was no way Shawn and her would
