Shawn did not answer."Alright, I want to personally witness Susan's world completely crumbling in her eyes! Everything she took from me, she'll pay it back many times over!""And you." Gale looked at Shawn and said, "You should be in ten thousand times more pain than me! If the child were still here, we would clearly still have a chance at reconciliation…"All there was left at that moment was just hatred and pain.Gratitude and resentment, love and hatred, right and wrong…In the end, the most innocent one had been that unborn child."Why do you… toy with me like this? In the end, I was wrong the whole time," Shawn mumbled to himself.Shawn turned around, facing his back to Gale.At that moment, he did not dare to face Gale.The pain in his heart, the anger, and the self-resentment; the only thing he could do was to accept it slowly.He deserved it. He did it to himself!Gale had already run out of tears. She found that it was hard even to cry when a person was at the limi
Susan finally reacted, nodding. "That's right. You're already so old. Could it be that you can't even tell the difference?!"The father and daughter pair felt an intense sense of danger.Why would Mr. Wood suddenly ask the old man to point out something like that for no reason?!They could not let Mr. Wood discover that Gale had been the woman from that night… Otherwise, everything they had done during that period of time, everything they managed to get, would go up in smoke. They would lose everything!The old man was stunned.Shawn grabbed his collar even more forcefully. "Do you know who you should be listening to?"His eyes were incredibly sharp, and the old man was afraid of who he was, so the old man nodded. "Of course, Mr. Wood. I'll listen to you. I'll naturally obey whatever you ask for!""Then answer me, was it her or her?!"Susan wanted to say something, but Shawn shot a look, and the guards immediately understood, walking forward to cover her mouth.Gale looked at
Saying that, the dean suddenly had a thought and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, you're right. It was all my plan! Mr. Wood, I had Susan do all of this. Don't blame her. It's all my fault!"Even at that moment, the dean still hoped that he could protect Susan.Yet, it was pointless.Shawn was as cold as ice. "Since you want to admit your wrongdoings so much, I'll grant you your wish.""Mr. Wood…"Shawn had a cruel smirk on his lips. "You can go back to the mental hospital. However, you can forget about being the dean. You're going back as a patient."The dean widened his eyes!He had acted like a king at the mental hospital for so long, and he had offended so many of the patients inside.If he went inside, he would be skinned alive. They would eat him alive!They would not even leave behind any bones!Shawn said, "Take him away. Also, cripple his limbs!""Yes, Mr. Wood."The dean cried out in agony as his whole body shuddered. His pants started to drip.He had been so scared he
Susan would never have expected that she lost because of that ring.She would never find out either.Gale turned around and gave Shawn the ring. "Yours."His hands remained by his sides."Give it to the future Mrs. Wood. I still remember how little my mother's bracelet was worth in the charity auction…" Gale said.Suddenly, Shawn reached out and pulled her into your arms. He was very strong and had his arms tightly around her. It was as if he wanted to fuse her into his own body."You are Mrs. Wood. It's always been you and will forever be you. There's no one else!" Shawn said in a low voice. The person he had been bitterly looking for was Gale!It was not Susan!His love and adoration had been given to the wrong person!"Gale, you are the person I was looking for. You were the person I wanted to marry. That night, I told you that I would marry you. I keep to my word. It's just that I found the wrong person. Susan took your place."Shawn panicked. As he spoke, his voice t
"Have you? After that night, during all these days we've spent together, has your heart ever beat for me?" Shawn asked.She was silent."If you don't answer, I'll see it as a silent acknowledgment that you… love me."Gale pursed her lips, forcing out an ugly smile. "Does that even matter? If you love me and I love you, would we be able to be together?""I want to know your answer."As long as she said that she loved him, then he would be able to jump into the fire, ignoring everything else!Shawn's eyes were locked on her. "You've had feelings for me before, Gale. I refuse to believe that your heart is made of stone. You tried so hard to protect the child. It's because you developed feelings for me that night, right?""No!"Shawn said, "Yes! Even though you've never said it, I could tell that you've been waiting for the man from that night to appear. You wanted the man to take you away, and he gave you hope! Now, I'm the man from that night!"Gale answered, "The one I love is
Susan lay on the ground, covered in blood, at the lowest end of the stairs. She was not moving at all but was still breathing upon closer inspection.Shawn walked over and stopped in front of her.The more he hated himself, the more he hated Susan!That woman ruined everything he had!"M…Mr. Wood…" Susan raised her head slowly and said, "Let me go… I…I really do know… that I was wrong now…""You can't take it anymore?""I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken Gale's place. I lied to you and hide things from you…"Shawn's eyes were cold. "Susan, this is just the start!"There was still a lot of torture waiting for Susan!He wanted Susan to think that death was mercy!"I…I was blinded by greed. I had a lapse in judgment, which is why I took Gale's place. I was wrong. Mr. Wood, you're a noble person. Please spare me!" Susan said weakly."Is taking Gale's place the only thing you did?!"Susan shuddered, not daring to say anything.Looking at that woman, Shawn wanted nothing more t
In truth, the only person Shawn loved was himself.He was a selfish man!If she had not exposed the truth and allowed Susan to continue with her lies and deceit, the person lying on the ground in a puddle of blood, being whipped mercilessly, would have been Gale.She won. Susan had completely lost. There was no way Susan could ever make a comeback.She was victorious.Yet, in another way, Susan had won as well.Susan had successfully destroyed Shawn and Gale's relationship. She had hidden the truth of that night, lying to everyone. She repeatedly said that Gale had a bastard child, trying to get Shawn to get rid of the child!Under the moonlight, Shawn suddenly turned around. He looked up to the balcony.Gale met his gaze.His lips moved, and his voice was soft, so she could not hear him.However, Gale could guess what he said from how his lips moved."Galey."Galey.What a personal nickname.Who gave him the right to call her that?He was her enemy, her mortal enemy!G
He knew that there was a huge rift between the two of them. It would take a long time and a lot of patience to repair it.He could not rush things.For the moment, he was already happy that he could see her every day.Gale ignored him.She had yet to figure out how she would interact with Shawn, even though she just wanted to leave.However, he would not let her go.In the dining room, the table was filled with a luxurious breakfast. There were various cuisines, and the servants were waiting on them by the side. The whole meal was eaten through silence."From now on, I'll send you to and from work. There's plenty of space in the car," Shawn said.Gale rejected Shawn decisively, "No, I can just take public transport."The housekeeper let out a cough. Gale really did not give Shawn any leeway.However, Shawn acted like nothing had happened, not making a sound as he silently agreed.He could not just kidnap Gale into the car after all.Gale felt that way as well, so she took h
