Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 409
"Ridiculous! He has been thinking about you two! The day before the car accident, he was still discussing giving you half of the shares of the Wood Group!"Both Paula and Zach were shocked.What?"That's right. Father called me into the study that night and asked me to give half of the shares to Zach," Shawn said.Zach was dumbfounded. "Dad… asked you to give the shares? Half?""Yes, it was for you. It's a pity you killed him. You can't get anything," Shawn said."No, it's impossible. You lied to me. That's not the case..."Paula shook his head again and again, "We all heard that he wouldn't give it!" Lucas tapped his cane vigorously. "He said it in a fit of anger! Who knew that you really believed it!" The mother and son were like deflated balls and looked at each other.After working so hard, they had not expected that they would lose more than they gained!Shawn said lightly, "If our father didn't die, with his insistence, Zach, you would get the shares you dreamed of.

He collapsed on the ground, and soon, a puddle of water flowed out from where he was lying.Zach was so frightened that he wet his pants.Shawn snorted coldly. "The biggest mistake of the Wood family is having such an idiot like you!" He was an embarrassment to the Wood family!The Wood family, noble, proud, confident, and in control of everything, had always been superior!What about Zach?Useless, dandy, and only knew how to play with women!"Are you scared? It's just the beginning, Zach... There are new punishments waiting for you every month!" Shawn snorted coldly.Zach was already motionless, and his eyes were empty.Paula kept crying and shouting, "It's all my fault. I ordered him to do it...you come at me, take my life, don't blame Zach! I'm an evil woman. Kill me!""Noisy. It's too noisy."Paula was still crying, and the sound of wailing spread throughout the old house.Shawn directly ordered, "Cut her tongue."Upon hearing this sentence, Paula immediately stopped

"It's all Paula, the vicious woman... In the beginning, when your father wanted to marry her, I disagreed! What's so good about a small-town girl? Your mother is such a noble lady, a daughter of a famous family."Shawn gulped.The Wood family had a tacit understanding, a consensus, that was, never mentioning Shawn's biological mother.Even Shawn himself did not have much impression of his mother and could not even remember what she looked like.It was because his mother had been away from Sea City for many, many years. When Shawn was less than ten years old, she divorced him. Then one morning, she left a note silently and left. The young Shawn followed Lucas.Alex had to manage the company and was very busy, but he was very kind to Shawn.Paula used to be a small employee of Wood Group. After meeting Alex at a meeting, she had a shotgun marriage into the family.She came from a humble background, so she was not as good as Shawn's biological mother. Lucas sighed. "Your mother

If Sam knew where she was, Shawn would definitely put pressure on him and torture him to extract her whereabouts.Sam had done enough for her.She could no longer owe him favors."I haven't thought about it. Get my dad out first. Let's take one step at a time," Gale replied."Can Uncle continue to practice medicine?""I don't know his physical condition or mental state. Alex's death left him with great psychological trauma."Sam lowered his head. Although he knew that this question should not be asked, he still wanted to ask.In his heart, he was still looking forward to... when he could continue his relationship with her again."Gale, will you divorce Shawn?" he asked.Divorced, he might still have a chance.Even without… he can stay by her side and take care of her for the rest of her life."It's not up to me whether I can leave or not, but it should be over," Gale replied bitterly."Gale, I hope you understand that no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Shawn was surprised and raised his eyebrows slightly.He was willing to go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of fire without blinking, not to mention she was asking in such a pleading tone."Don't target Sam again. Let him and his company go. Shawn, can you promise me that?" Gale said.Sam had done so many things for her, and she had to do something for Sam.Shawn walked slowly to the hospital bed and looked down at her. "Gale, you are finally willing to plead with me, but it's because of another man...""I only ask for one thing.""What if I refuse?"Gale bit her lip and lowered her eyelashes.After a while, she replied, "Then I don't know what to do... My ability is not worth mentioning in front of you." Sam said angrily, "Why do you lower yourself down because of him?""But you want to gain a foothold in the Carson family, and you can make a difference. You can't ruin your future because of me."Shawn looked at the two of them coldly, and a feeling of indiffer

Had Shawn cooked her medicine?She thought he was mad at her and left.Unexpectedly, he went to prepare the medicine for her..."Such a tall man, squatting next to the stove, sweating profusely, looking like someone who doesn't know how to do housework. But for you, Mr. Wood is willing. We all feel that you saved the world in your previous life, just by looking at it!" the nurse enviously said.Saved the world?Heh, if they really believed in karma, that would mean she actually caused the world to collapse, and that was how she met Shawn in this life.After Gale pinched her nose and finished drinking the medicine, the nurse handed her a fruit jelly candy.However, the nurse was as considerate and did not tear off the candy wrapper. After Gale finished drinking, her mouth was so bitter, and her mouth felt dry. The more anxious she was to eat candy, the more she could not tear off the candy wrapper.When she finally managed to eat the candy, she felt the bitter taste in her mouth

"Aren't you busy? You've done so much already.""Well, if I can't see you, then I need to be busy. Otherwise I will keep thinking about you."Gale suddenly smiled.Shawn asked lightly, "What are you laughing at?""Thanking about this all. You were not like this before," Gale replied.Shawn, aloof, stern, and unsmiling, had a repulsive and dominating aura."I'm only like this in front of you, Gale."It was impossible for others… to see this side of Shawn!Love could really change a person.The car stopped at the gate of the prison.Gale got out of the car and stood at the door, staring at the closed door without blinking.In the past, to visit my father, she had to apply, go through the process, and enter the visiting room, separated by thick bulletproof glass.However, her father could now come out of it dignifiedly.Finally, the door opened slowly, and Peter walked out with slightly heavy steps.He walked slowly, his back a little stooped, and he did not look back.The

However, he understood that Peter suffered because of him."Zach deceived you into thinking my dad was the murderer, and you put him in jail. But why did you ask Susan to pour hot water on him?" Gale said, her voice becoming choked up.She still remembered her father's tragic situation at that time!Shawn frowned tightly. "I didn't do that.""No? Then where did these scars come from?" Gale lifted Peter's sleeves. "Look carefully! How did Susan get the courage to do it? She was arrogant and cruel and clearly said this is what you ordered her to do!"Shawn's face darkened, and he immediately understood what was going on.Susan had more tricks up her sleeve!"I never let Susan visit the prison, let alone bully your father. You were lied to, I was used!" Shawn replied."You...haven't?""No, never!"Gale gritted her teeth. "It turned out to be Susan's idea! She has such a vicious heart!"That femme fatale woman deserved to be hacked to relieve her hatred!Peter said, "Forget it,

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
