First came a loud noise that was mixed in with the honk of a car. After that, the dean's voice was heard, "Susie, you look like you're in quite a good mood. What happened?""Something amazing happened. Gale practically sabotaged herself!"Gale's hand stopped, planning on listening to what was happening and what Susan and the dean were talking about.She would listen to the recording from that day after that.She completely focused on listening.The dean asked, "Really? Tell me about it!""Mr. Wood has been liking her more and more lately. After getting rid of her child, he wanted another one with her. It ended up great. Gale actually went to buy some morning-after pills, unwilling to get pregnant! I happened to catch her in the act!""Wow, is that true?!"Susan seemed incredibly pleased with herself, "It's true! I planned on looking for Mr. Wood today to ask him for forgiveness so I could see how his attitude was towards me. I can't believe I bumped into something so amazing!"

"Thankfully, you managed to steal that place away from Gale. That's why we can live a life of luxury right now."Susan smiled and said, "It's because you're so good with your plans. It's thanks to your schemes that we're in this position now.""Whatever, we shouldn't talk about this so much. We absolutely can't let anyone else know," The dean answered, "Susie, you should go ask Mr. Wood when he'll send you the money. I'll only be able to relax when the money's in our hands.""Okay, dad. I'll ask as soon as I can. There's also those houses…"Gale was in no mood to listen to what followed.Her whole head was filled with the fact that her child was Shawn's. What they said constantly echoed in her ears.At that moment, Gale did not know what to think. She merely stared forward in a daze.How could the child be Shawn's?She did not want to believe it.Yet, the dean and Susan had said it themselves. There wa sno way it was wrong.Even if she did not want to believe it, the truth wa
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 287
She could already guess what was said after that.Susan would definitely have told her mother about her miscarriage and how she had one. Susan would have told her mother about how miserable Gale's life was, continuing to antagonize her mother.So Susan had told her mother the truth.Her mother could not stand such a cruel truth, which was how her mother fell unconscious, needing emergency treatment.Even Gale could not accept the truth, let alone her mother.She put down the headphones and carefully kept them.The weather was great outside, the sun shone brightly. Yet, Gale's heart was completely cold.She walked out of the Wood Group headquarters. The warm sunlight fell on her body, but it could not warm her heart.Gale felt like a walking corpse.She never would have expected that the man from that night was Shawn.The child in her had actually been part of the Wood family's bloodline.It was completely absurd, but it was the irrefutable truth!Gale looked at the passersb

She reluctantly looked at her mother on the bed as she exited the room."Your mother's current condition is quite stable," The doctor said, "If nothing unexpected happens, she can be transferred to the regular wards next week.""What if something happens?""Then…""I'm sorry, I'm being too negative," Gale answered, "If it goes smoothly, how much can my mother recover?"The doctor thought about it, "The patient's already quite old. On top of that, she didn't have the special medicine early on, so the effects were diminished. It's quite hopeful if she properly recuperates in the future."Gale nodded.The phone in her pocket was constantly buzzing, but she never bothered to look at it.At that moment, she did not want to talk to anyone.Gale walked out of the nursing home, and just as she was about to hail a taxi, a Mercedes drove over.It looked a little familiar.She stopped and looked at the car.The car stopped, and the people who got out of the car were actually…Lucas a

"Lucas, Gale's no ordinary woman, but the paternity test showed that the child really was Shawn's. It's just a pity… Ah, it's gone now, there's no point talking about it."Gale finally understood why Paula suddenly calmed down after the test, and no longer caused so much trouble.Gale had always thought that Summer had stolen the test tube, making it so the test could not be done.She did not expect that the paternity test was actually done, and Paula completely shut up because the child was Shawn's!"Enough, go check on Wendy's condition," Lucas said, "I want to talk to Gale."Paula nodded as she left reluctantly.It was obvious that Lucas wanted her gone. He wanted to talk about some secrets that Paula was not allowed to know.Once Paula left, Lucas said, "Gale, I didn't come today to do anything to your mother. Instead, I cam to help you both.""I don't understand.""I'll be honest with you," Lucas said, "Shawn is completely obsessed with you right now. He listens to no one

The calls went through, but no one answered them.It caused Shawn to worry.His her parents in his hands, he knew that Gale would not there to run away. He was just worried that she was in danger, that something happened to her.However, no one would dare to touch his girl in Sea City!Shawn had his hands behind his back as he constantly paced back and forth with a dark look on his face.Time slowly passed.Shawn grabbed his phone again and called Gale's number.The ringtone was suddenly heard from the door.He looked up to see Gale walking in."Where did you go?!" Shawn stared at her, "Why didn't you answer the phone?!"Gale merely looked into his eyes quietly.She was acting a little strange."Gale, speak," Shawn walked in front of her, "What happened to you?" Gale looked emotionless, and her eyes looked dead.Shawn started to panic as he pursed his lips, "I'll be able to find out even if you don't say anything!"He reached out to take her phone, but she did not stop
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 291
"What exactly happened to you?" Shawn asked, "If something happened, tell me. Stop crying. It's unbecoming!"Gale sniffed and said, "I'll tell you, it's just that I don't know where to start.""Tell me the first thing that comes to mind!"Gale wiped her tears haphazardly. "Shawn, what happened between you and Susan?""Why are you asking that?""Answer me." Gale looked him in the eyes. "It's very important."Shawn averted his gaze. "I'll deal with what happened between the two of us. You don't have to bother."As he said that, he turned around to leave.Gale grabbed his sleeve, continuing, "I know, even if you don't want to say it. The night before you came to get me from the mental hospital, something happened between you and Susan in a hotel, right?"Shawn's gaze turned sharp. "How do you know this?"Gale continued, "That night, you were drugged. You were alone in your room when Susan suddenly barged in, running away from someone. In the darkness, you slept together.""The

"So, so…The child in your belly…" Shawn said in a hoarse voice.Gale answered hopelessly, "It was yours! Shawn, it was your child. It was our child!"He looked like he had been violently punched as he staggered. He could not maintain his balance as he knelt down on the ground with a thud, slamming his fists on the ground violently. His child…What did he do?!"That night with you was the only time I've been touched. I've always been completely clean other than that! I wanted that child so much. I did everything I could to protect the child, to bring the child to this world… Yet, Shawn, what did you do?! How did you hurt the two of us?!" Gale said."I jumped into the lake, and the child was fine. Susan tried to harm me, pushing me down the stairs, and the child was fine. Disaster after disaster, the child and I managed to survive all of them. Who would have expected that, in the end, the child would die because of you!"Gale shouted in a heartbroken tone, "Shawn, you killed our

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
