She thought about it and deliberately asked, "How much are you willing to fork out?"Paula and Zach looked at each other.After a while, Zach asked, "How much do you want? Say the number."Gale spread seven fingers."Seven million?" Zach stood up suddenly. "Gale, you really are a shark!""Wrong.""Fifty million?"Gale smiled slightly. "Seven hundred million."Zach's face changed drastically. "You… you're such a thief!"He was a little agitated, and his voice raised unconsciously, causing the people next to him to look this way.Paula was also shocked. "Gale, you really dare to ask for it."Seven hundred million was an astronomical figure that they could not imagine.That was wealth that only Shawn and Lucas possessed!Seeing everyone looking at this side, Gale simply started acting.Gale looked aggrieved and pitiful, with tears in his eyes. "My husband and I really love each other. I don't know what offended you that you insist on breaking us up...""I can leave, you can

"Are you sure, as long as I get seven hundred million, you will leave? Do you not regret it?""Yes.""Didn't you keep saying that you and Shawn really love each other? Can it be measured by money?"Gale replied, "We really love each other, but if you offer too much money, I can't refuse."After finishing speaking, she turned around gracefully.After taking two steps, Gale stopped and froze in place.She saw Shawn standing there. His eyes fell on her. His face was very ugly.How long was he standing there? Had he heard the whole conversation? "Seven hundred million?" Shawn took a step forward and walked in front of her. "In your heart, I'm worth seven hundred million?"Well, he had heard it.Gale swallowed her saliva. "This is a lot of money... Paula can't even get it out."Shawn narrowed his eyes deeply. "So, if someone can get it out, you will agree to leave?""I want to leave even if I don't get any money, let alone that amount."His face instantly became terribly glo

"So? You can leave me without hesitation for money?"Gale laughed angrily. "Why are you losing your temper, and why are you jealous? I just said that I don't need money to leave you.""Gale!"She continued, "Besides, Paula and her son can't afford it. I'm just teasing them and acting. Why take it so seriously?"Yes.Of course, Shawn was serious.When he watched her say those words lightly, his heart ached.Although he knew that her greatest wish was to get a divorce and then fly away, he was still unwilling to face it and admit it.Gale bit her lips. "Taking a step back, even if I really leave you for seven hundred million dollars, it's only human. How many women can refuse such a huge sum of money? Or do you think that love is more important than money?""Don't think too highly of yourself, Shawn. How good are you to me? How sincere are you to me? Have you loved me unreservedly from the very beginning? If you can actually do that and love me sincerely and truly, I, Gale, don'

In the past, Paula and Zach could not find a way to deal with him.It was because Shawn was so strong and invincible.Gale did not make a sound, and after a few seconds, she continued to walk toward the door."The more you want to leave, the more impossible it is for me to let you go. No one can take you away from me," Shawn said. The door was gently closed, separating the two of them.Shawn punched the table.Elevator entrance."Pearton," Gale called softly."Ma'am.""You informed Shawn, right?" she asked.Pearton shook his head. "No."Gale was a little surprised. "You did not say? Then how did he know?""Ma'am, I did not report to Mr. Wood, who you met. I am just here to ensure your safety," Pearton replied.Gale looked at him and felt that this person was quite reliable.She nodded, walked into the elevator, and picked up her phone at the same time.She sent Zach a message."I can leave Shawn, but I need to ask you one thing. As long as your answer satisfies me, I can

"No, I can buy it myself.""You really need to replenish your body. We are preparing for pregnancy after all," Shawn said.Gale looked up at him."This weekend, I'll take you to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination. Take care of yourself," Shawn said again.Gale immediately objected, "I won't go.""Why?""I...I don't like hospitals. I feel bad when I smell disinfectant," she replied."Just go for a physical examination."Gale could not help becoming nervous.If Shawn insisted on taking her for a checkup, then her pregnancy would definitely be exposed!Knowing that she was pregnant, he would definitely keep her by his side, limit her possibility of escaping, and... the child would also belong to him!Gritting her teeth, Gale turned her back to him. "Shawn, do you know that every time I go to the hospital, I always think of that dead child? Especially if you take me to the hospital yourself, it will remind me even more so. I feel scared! I have trauma!" Ther

"You said just now that you don't want children!""But you also said that you just don't want to have children with me. If you think so, then, no matter what, if you will have my children, I will ask you to bear children for me first." Shawn replied.Gale raised her hand and wiped the corners of her lips. "Shawn, you are selfish and arrogant!""For the sake of my children, let me be selfish this last time."He pestered her and kissed her for a long time until Gale almost died of breath. After that, he got up and went to the bathroom.The sound of rushing water sounded.Gale clutched her blushing cheeks, her heart pounding non-stop.Suddenly, the phone screen lit up.She picked it up and saw that it was from Zach."I'll meet you tonight. I've sent you the location."Gale frowned. Zach asked her to meet at night. What should she do?How could she get out of the house?However, meeting during the day was indeed not safe. Once Shawn found out, things would get worse."Okay. I

"You're pressing on my hair."Still no response.Only then had Gale slowly take his hand away, get up, get out of bed, and quietly leave the master bedroom.She went to the small room at the end of the second floor.After entering the door and opening the window, Gale saw a black car parked by the side of the wall."Sam?" She called softly."Yes. Gale!" Sam replied.He swung the rope up. Gale tied it around her waist, climbed down the water pipe, and landed safely.They quickly disappeared into the night."Why did you agree with Zach? Besides, it's night, and it's very dangerous. What if he touches you?" Sam asked while driving."He's very afraid of Shawn, he won't dare to act recklessly.""When you see him, what will you talk about? Seeing that he can't drive you away, maybe he will use another method to win you over and let you be on the same side as him as revenge for Shawn," Sam analyzed.Gale replied, "What I want is for Zach to win me over!"There were no permanent e

Gale nodded and said, "I will think about it. Have you finished what you want to say? After you've finished speaking, it's my turn.""Go on."Gale looked straight into his eyes. "Did my father actually cause Alex's death, or...is the murderer someone else?"Zach's face suddenly changed, but he tried his best to hide it. "Of course not! The police have already settled the case. Shawn also checked, and the murderer is your father!""Are you sure?""Sure!"Gale said aggressively, "Why do I think that the murderer is you, or... Paula!"Zach stood up abruptly. "You're talking nonsense! Gale, this… you can't talk nonsense!""Because I believe in my father's character and medical skills! He has no enemies, and everyone is kind to him. Only you and Paula can do such rebellious and insane things to compete for the wealth and power of the wood family!""You..."For a long time, Zach sputtered and did not know how to refute.In the end, he could only say angrily, "You have no evidence!

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
