"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
In her heart, Aurum was a very well-mannered heir. Darkness and poverty should not be shown in front of his eyes.Gale sighed, "It's possible that the child's father will never find me in my lifetime. I'm too ashamed to see him anyway. I don't know what to tell him."Mr. Lefting, I also want to tell you that my relationship with Shawn isn't that scandalous. I'm not his mistress.""Then you're his…""I'm his puppet. His toy," Gale said, "I can only be controlled by him."Aurum fell silent for a long time after hearing that."I'm really sorry to let you hear all of that," Gale said softly."No, I'm very glad that you're willing to tell me about all this. Gale, you have a lot of secrets on you, and a lot of… relationships that I don't understand."Aurum's gaze had always been very upright and warm.He had a very special feeling towards the girl in front of him.Initially, it was a strange sense of familiarity, as if she was an old friend. After that, it was curiosity and surpr
"Mr. Wood," Aurum stood up, "Ms. Warm and I are just chatting. Don't misunderstand." "What am I misunderstanding?" Shawn raised an eyebrow, and his lips curled up slightly, "She doesn't have the guts to betray me.""Actually, Ms. Warm is a very nice girl."Shawn pulled Gale to his side, putting his arm around her waist as he said calmly, "Of course she is. Otherwise, how would I have my eyes on her?"His actions and tone were incredibly possessive!He was jealous, immensely so, but he tried to act like he did not care!When he crossed the street, Shawn had his eyes on Gale.She was smiling, her smile had been from the heart. It was so sweet and tender. She had never smiled at him like that before!Yet, she was able to smile like that facing Aurum!How could Shawn stomach that?!"Then you should treasure her," Aurum nodded, "I wish the two of you well."It was a sincere wish, but in Shawn's ears, it was nothing like that.It felt like a challenge. As if Aurum could snat
His muscles were hard and tense.Shawn lowered his head,and his lips were next to her ear, "I don't know how to be gentle. All I know is my own ways.""W-what are… your own ways?""A demon's way is obviously violence," Shawn said in a casual tone, but Gale's body was full of goosebumps.She was scared.At that moment, Shawn's eyes seemed to be filled with intense possessiveness!He wanted her!"If I ever see you smile like that to another man again, Gale, then I'll bully you for each time," Shawn licked her earlobes, "I'll make it so you can't even walk!""Shawn, you… Ah!"Before Gale could finish speaking, he pulled forcefully with his hand!She exclaimed, and immediately put her hands in front fo her.Yet, Shawn easily pulled her hands behind her back.Their flesh touched each other closely. "Did you know? Looking at you under the sun and smiling like that, I only had one thought in my mind…" Shawn said slowly, "Just like right now, I want to completely own you."That
Gale felt incredibly helpless and filthy.Her body should have been hers to decide who to give her, but men seemed to take her as they pleased.Shawn panted roughly as he said, "Gale, I won't spare you if I see you smiling at another man again…""I'm the only man you're allowed to look at, understand?!""Answer me!"Gale started to bleed from biting her lips too hard.Seeing that, Shawn pushed her teeth apart and bullied her violently there."Ugh…"Sounds came from Gale's throat uncontrollably.Gale could not believe that those provocative sounds were from here."Yes, Gale," Shawn was incredibly satisfied, "Keep doing that, I want to hear your voice…""Shawn!"Gale completely lost her strength as she was being tortured by Shawn. Gale did not know how long had passed before he got up to leave.Shawn's shirt was not even undone. He was still well-dressed.However, she was completely disheveled…Shawn carefully put on her clothes for her, and even draped his jacket over her
