She lowered her voice and explained her plan in detail.After Sam finished listening, he could not help nodding. "Gale, you're the smartest!""I'm counting on you to implement the plan, and only you can fool Zach over.""Okay, don't worry. Trust me. I am also looking forward to Peter being cleared of his grievances and released from prison!"The car stopped by Temperley Hall, and the sky was already bright.Gale climbed back to the second floor, closed the window, and clapped his hands neatly.Fortunately, during the two years in the mental hospital, in order to find food, she practiced the skill of climbing over the wall. Otherwise she would have no way of escaping from Temperley Hall.This skill turned out to be of great use in the future!Just as Gale turned around, she suddenly saw a person standing at the door!She was so scared that cold sweat came out."Ma'am, it's me." The housekeeper's voice sounded."You..." The housekeeper stepped in and closed the door. "Ma'am, d
"Dr. Warm mentioned a kind of medicine for the injection. It's a very complicated technical term, and I don't understand it.""The nurse said that the hospital didn't carry it, and we had to get it from another hospital. So, Paula asked Zach to go get it."“Half an hour later, Zach and the nurse went to collect the medicine and came back. Alex took the injection. After that, within five minutes, he began to cough up blood and died."Gale closed his eyes.She said, "I understand. Zach was the one who gave the medicine during that time!""Very likely. But... the medicine was administered by Dr. Warm, and Zach just went to get it. So naturally, the responsibility and fault fall on Dr. Warm."After Gale listened, she nodded vigorously. "I understand, thank you!"With the clues provided by the housekeeper, she was one step closer to the truth!By the time we got back to the master bedroom, the sun had just risen over the horizon.It was daybreak.Gale walked to the bed lightly, la
"No, he wants to take me for a medical examination."Summer was stunned. "Huh? Isn't this pretty good?"Gale bit her lips and said, "But I'm pregnant again!"After Summer heard this, she was stunned again. It took half a minute before she said, "What did you say? You are pregnant again?"'How long had it been since the miscarriage.''Why are you pregnant again?'"It's true. I've already been checked, and I'm still taking medicine," Gale replied."You tell me to take it easy...""There's no time. The place for the physical examination was arranged by Joe. Summer, how is your relationship with that doctor?" Gale said."Wait a minute, I'll help you find out!""Okay."Gale hung up the phone, feeling overwhelmed. 'Don't be discovered by Shawn!'With a feeling of apprehension, Gale got out of the car and went to the private clinic.Shawn was a little busy dealing with the company's affairs."How about… Go to the company, and I'll do the inspection myself," Gale said."No. I'
Shawn was not very satisfied. "No more?""Mr. Wood, in the hospital, no news is the best news.""Is her body suitable for another pregnancy?""As far as I'm concerned, it's better to take care of Mrs. Wood's body first. As for things like having a child… it's best to let nature take its course."Shawn said, "Okay"Coincidentally, Fiona called again at this time.Shawn walked to the side to answer.Gale took the opportunity to ask in a low voice, "How is the baby?""At present, it's stable. Continue to take your medicine on time. And..." Dr. Lighton glanced at the pregnancy test form hidden at the bottom, unable to speak.Gale was a little anxious. "And what?""You are pregnant with...twins."She blinked but did not react."Being pregnant with twins will definitely be more troublesome and risky. What's more, your health is not very good. Mrs. Wood, if you want to give birth to these two children safely, you will definitely need to eat a lot to regain your strength," Dr. Ligh
Gale thought that Shawn was the only man she had hated and loved deeply.There was too much bad blood and history between them.There would be no future."Shawn.""I'm here.""I want to see my dad."After a few seconds of silence, Shawn agreed, "Okay."However, he did not go and ordered the driver to take her to the detention center.He will not see Peter.That was his father's killer and his... father-in-law.Peter had such a contradictory identity. What kind of attitude should Shawn have when he meets him?So, he decided not to go.In the prison's visitation room, Peter looked at her."Gale, how are you doing? Did Shawn make things difficult for you?""Dad, I'm fine.""Don't lie to me, you always give good news and never report any worries."Gale looked at him. "Dad, I'm really getting better and better now. Besides, I can rescue you soon!"Peter was a little surprised. "Save me out? "Gale nodded confidently. "Dad, I found out something about that year, and I want
She wanted to find out the truth with evidence, throw it in Shawn's face, and tell him that he had wrongly blamed the Warm family all these years!Only in this way can the grievances be cleared and the truth revealed!Gale thought as she looked at his father's old face. If she forgave Shawn so easily, how would she have to face her parents?Her parents suffered no less than her.Shawn ruined her originally happy family.Although the murderer was Zach, it was Shawn who had been tormenting the Warm family all these years.Gale changed the subject. "Stop talking about this. Dad, I have some good news for you.""What? Is your mother recovered?""Mom will be fine. Dad, you are going to be a grandfather. "Peter was stunned for a few seconds, looking at her lower abdomen. "Are you pregnant?""Yes.""The father of the child..."Gale said, "It doesn't matter. Dad, the child is mine. It was conceived from my body in October. It doesn't matter who his father is."Peter was a reasona
He said, "Would you like to try it?""You've drunk it all. How do I try it?"He kissed her, and it made her mouth taste like milk.She also felt a certain part of his body stir.Gale immediately dared not to move. If Shawn was aroused, maybe he might use her in the study.After all, he dared to mess around in the car!"Have a good meeting. The video is still on!" she said quickly.Gale suddenly remembered that Shawn was holding an international video conference in the study.The scene just now would not be a live broadcast, right?She looked at the computer screen in fear."I closed it when you came in. How can you let others see your current appearance? Huh?" Shawn replied.Gale had just finished taking a shower, wearing pajamas, with her hair rolled up, looking very homey.Moreover, the material of the pajamas was very silky, which outlined her graceful curves.He wished he could wrap her up in a suit jacket, so he would not give others a chance to take a look.Gale pat
Gale turned her face away and hurriedly got up from his legs. "Alright, you should just focus on your meeting. I'm going to go back to my room to rest."She had accomplished her goal, so it was time to leave.Shawn narrowed his eyes slightly. "Galey, are you really going to leave like that after lighting the fire?""I didn't do anything." Gale walked away in a hurry. Her skirt was hiked up beautifully as she left the study.She needed to use her looks when dealing with Shawn.He responded very well to that.In order for her plan that night to succeed, Gale needed to seduce Shawn.The moment she closed the door, Gale clutched her heart anxiously.Her success would be down to that.The whole Warm family would depend on that night."Mr. Wood? Mr. Wood?" The head of foreign affairs could be heard from the computer, "Are you listening?" Shawn opened up the camera again. "Continue the meeting.""Yes." As Shawn listened to the reports, he looked at that cup of milk.By the tim
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
