Gale thought about it and shook her head. "No, I can't leave right now.""Are you regretting it? Do you have your eyes on the Wood family's riches?" Lucas looked at her. "Gale, stop dreaming. As long as I'm alive, I won't let you get what you want!"She said firmly, "I will leave, but not right now!"Her mother was still unconscious, and Shawn's arm was still recovering. She could not just throw everything aside and leave.Her heart would still be here even if she left. What was the point of that?If Gale left, she had to leave and never come back."Haha, I knew you'd regret it! Gale, I can't let you have what you want. The Wood family can't allow you to stay!" Lucas said."So you used Susan as bait to get me to come here.""I won't let that despicable woman off easily. She'll be miserable for the rest of her life. Compared to her, I'm being very nice to you, Gale!"Gale took a step back. "I said it very clearly. I have to make sure everything is properly handled before I leav
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Shawn was on the bed, and he held a document in hand but had not flipped a single page for a long time.Fiona stood by the side, not daring to make a single sound.In his many years of experience by Shawn's side, Shawn's mood was incredibly… bad.It was horrible!Shawn might be looking at the document, but he could not read a single word."Mr. Wood, why don't… Why don't we stop here for today? Let's deal with things tomorrow?" Fiona tried asking.Shawn heavily slammed the document on the table."M…Mr. Wood…""Out.""Yes!"Shawn rubbed his temples, ordering after a while, "Come back!"Fiona turned around. "Mr. Wood, what are your orders?"Shawn fell silent."Actually, if you miss Mrs. Wood, you could give her a call. Even though you can't see her, you might be able to relieve your thoughts just by hearing her or looking at her through a video call," Fiona suggestedShawn coldly looked at him. "Did I ask you to speak?"Fiona lowered her head.O
"Mobilize everyone. Find Gale!"Joe was immediately wide awake. "What? Gale is missing?""Yes.""How did she go missing again?"Shawn did not answer the question as he hung up the phone immediately. After that, he went right to the three bodyguards he had sent to protect Gale in secret.The imperious aura coming out of his body made everyone tremble."I asked you to protect her. Where is she?! Is this how you complete your job?!" Shawn said fiercely."M…Mr. Wood, we were following orders. We followed her the whole time. She came to the hospital today and went in the car to go back to Temperley Hall after that…""Then? You didn't follow her?""We were noticed by your grandfather's men. They said that they would be responsible for sending her back to Temperley Hall. They told us not to worry since we were on the same team… Ah!" the guard said.Right after he said that, Shawn kicked him!Trash! A useless piece of trash!It meant that the bodyguards let their guard down after G
So, if Aurum would help him, they would have a bigger chance of finding her. "Okay. I'm doing this to make sure she's safe and not to help you," Aurum answered.Shawn had already gone right into the back of the Rells Reyce.Aurum looked over to the assistant next to him. "Use all our connections to look into where Gale is. Be discreet. Tell me if you find anything.""Yes, Mr. Lefting."The Rells Reyce was on the road, and Shawn constantly urged, "Drive faster.""Mr. Wood, it's already very…""Faster!"The journey to the Wood Mansion usually took up half an hour, but it had been cut short to fifteen minutes.When Lucas saw him, he jumped up in fright. "Shawn, why are you running around? Do you not want your left arm anymore?"Shawn went straight to the point and said, "Where is Gale?""What are you…""Where is she?!" Shawn raised his voice even higher. "Speak!"At that moment, he was like a lion that had lost its mind.He was angry, frustrated, worried, and unsettled. H
Why was Shawn the culprit?"Also, Grandpa, I've told you repeatedly that I can't live without Gale, but you keep trying to break the two of us up! Have you thought about my feelings?!"It took a moment for Lucas to snap back to reality."Even… if the child was not Gale's fault, her father still killed yours. This is a blood grudge that can never go away! How could the two of you be together?"This is between the two of us. You don't have to worry about that. As for my hand, I crippled myself for her. It has nothing to do with her. She tried her best to stop me back then too."Lucas looked at his left hand.The doctor said that Shawn could not move his hand for at least a month, but Shawn was standing right in front of him.That was how important Gale was!"Very well, Shawn. Let me ask you right now. It's me or Gale. You can only choose one. If you choose me, you can't have her. If you choose her, you can't have me. Who will you choose?!" Lucas said.That question was incredibl
Very well, he would look for her overseas! He would go there himself!Shawn left in a huff. His shoes clacked on the floor as he slowly disappeared.Lucas sat on the sofa, looking old and alone.Paula quietly went back to her room. She locked the door and called an overseas number."Hey, Mom. What is it?" The sound of loud club music could be heard on the other end."Are you playing outside again?""I'm drinking with a few friends."Paula said excitedly, "Let me tell you some good news. Shawn had a really big fight with Lucas! You should hurry back after your graduation. Make sure you do well in front of your grandpa. Do you hear me?!""Okay, Mom.""This is an incredibly rare chance for you, and you better seize it! Our chances of turning the tables and becoming the hamsters of the family hinges on this!"Paula's own child was where she had put all her hopes on!Paula had been trying to figure out ways to deal with Shawn, but she never expected that Gale would be able to c
He might not even find Gale then if he still wanted to. "Lucas was the one who sent her away. Wouldn't it be incredibly easy for Shawn to find out where she is?"Summer sighed.The plane took off and slowly went further away. At a manor in Aneria, Gale stood by the window.It was during the day, and the skies were clear, but she knew that it was nighttime in Sea City.She did not even know where she was. She could not go out anyway. She was confined to the manor.The servants were all foreigners who were very careful. She had nothing to say to them."Is this really escaping? No…I've just jumped from one cage to another," Gale mumbled to herself.She did not want to live her whole life there.She should probably talk to Lucas.Gale turned around and had just walked to the phone when a figure appeared outside the window."Who?" She looked out in alarm but saw no one. Gale was shocked as she stared out the window.She slowly walked over. Just as she was about to lock the
The black-clothed man exchanged a look with Gale before they both looked down.It was a Lamborghini.The door opened, and the man who walked down…was Shawn! How could it be him?!"Shawn found me so quickly…" Gale paled as well.Even though she was not the one who escaped willingly, Lucas' methods and arrangements should have been better than anything she could plan. Yet, Shawn had still found her so quickly.Gale could not help but wonder if it would be impossible for her to escape Shawn alone.Was she never going to escape his net?Shawn arrived too quickly."Ms. Warm, I'll take my leave for now. I can't be exposed," the man said."Okay."Gale helped the man leave, pulling the curtains as she acted as if nothing had happened.From the bottom, Shawn's footsteps could be heard.Every single step he took felt like it was stepping on her heart.Shawn was incredibly quick, moving two steps at a time. He went right upstairs, wanting to see Gale as soon as possible!He had be
