Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 426
They are the wealthiest family in Sea City, with hundreds of billions of assets.They held the economic lifeline of the whole city.With such a status, no matter how exclusive the exhibition was, they could participate in it, and they were treated as VIPs."Think about it, I won't force you. To go or not to go, the choice is yours," Joe said.Going meant that she would be attending with Shawn.If she did not, she would regret it for the rest of her life.The jewelry exhibition was held every three years, and each session was held in a different city. It was rare to be right at her doorstep—what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Seeing Gale's hesitant look, Joe said deliberately, "That's to go to see the exhibition. The venue is so big, and you will not always be next to Shawn. Look at your jewelry design, which is comparable to internationally renowned designs. Just treat it as a learning excursion."He looked at his watch. "I still have a meeting to attend. Take the invitation

She was startled, and looked sideways at her. "Ah! Fiona, why are you so silent, you scared the hell out of me.""Um...you were too focused just now."Fiona glanced at the computer screen and quickly remembered.Gale patted her heart. "What do you want?""Mr. Wood said, if you decide to go to the exhibition, you should order a custom dress." Fiona said, "Are you free? The tailor is already waiting.""I'll just wear my usual clothes.""The exhibition stipulates that evening gowns are required."Gale asked, "Will Shawn be there too?""He has a meeting, and he has a ready-made suit, so he doesn't need one made again."Hearing that Shawn would not go, she agreed confidently. "Okay."Fiona arranged a driver, saw Gale to the car, and returned to the president's office."Mr. Wood, everything is done."Shawn raised his head from the file. "Did she say anything?""No. But when I went to the jewelry department, I found her looking at something," Fiona replied."Huh?"Fiona took ou

The black makes her skin as white as snow."Mr. Wood really has a good eye. This dress is a special item for our store. It's the only one in the world. It's very suitable for Mrs. Wood. It's a classic and fashionable little black dress. Every woman should have one," the store manager said.Gale grabbed the hem of the skirt and turned to look at him. "Why are you here?" 'Didn't Fiona say that he was going to a meeting?'Could it be that she lied to her?"Going to a branch office meeting, I happened to pass by to pick up a suit. Did you choose this dress?" Shawn replied calmly. Gale did not bother to try again, and she thought every dress she tried on was pretty."Yeah. I will just take this black dress," she replied."Then, should the color of my suit match your outfit?"Couple outfit.They would look like a couple right away.Gale frowned, and before he could speak, the store manager nodded with a smile. "Yes, yes, Mr. Wood, the two suits you ordered a while ago happened t

However, according to the original trajectory of life, one in the heavens and the other in the earth, how would they meet?Not a fat chance.The store manager carried the shopping bag and handed it to the driver. "Mr. Wood, Mrs. Wood, welcome to visit next time."Gale took it directly. "Give it to me."She disagreed with Shawn.He went back to his meeting.She went back to her rented house."Gale, I still have something for you. Wait a minute," Shawn said."I don't want it.""You didn't even see what it was."Gale replied sullenly, "Anyway, I don't want anything that's yours."With one hand in his trousers pocket, he replied lightly, "The invitation letter is mine, the dress is mine, and where you stand now, this land is also mine."Gale turned her head and looked at the road sign next to her.This was the parking lot of a shopping mall under the Wood Group...Damn.Rich and powerful.Even the place where she stood belonged to him!Gale smiled slightly. "Okay, then I'l

Fiona thought, accompanying the boss to win over his wife was really tiring.She would need to come up with ideas, be a helper, and be on call at any time!In the rental home, the driver had already made three trips, and he still had not finished moving the contents of the trunk.It was so ostentatious that the neighbors all looked over here.Those who knew the goods were amazed. "Where did you get this? You can't even buy it… Look at those imported vitamins. It costs tens of thousands of dollars for a small box.""What? Is it so expensive?""Oh, don't even mention the car! People who can afford this car would not care about the tens of thousands of dollars?""I'm amazed at the supplements, thinking about the price… we won't be able to make any money in this lifetime!""But which rich person lives in such an old residential area!"Gale did not like the feeling of being talked about behind, but the things had already been delivered. She could not just throw it away.What a was

"The matter of divorce is not up to me. Shawn is a stubborn person, and no one has ever been able to go against his wishes. Besides... he really loves Gale. Watching him grow up, I've never seen him care so much about anyone."Lucas's face was full of sincerity, and he looked pitiful and bitter.Speaking of which, Lucas was indeed a pitiful old man.The son was killed by the joint efforts of his daughter-in-law and grandson.Now, the only grandson he had was Shawn."Gale, there's no sugar in the kitchen. Go downstairs and buy some," Peter said suddenly.Gale knew that her father was dismissing her, so she stood still.Peter smiled and said, "Go. It's okay.""Okay, I... will be back soon."When she was leaving, Gale looked back, uneasy."The house is small and I have no special seating area. Lucas, take a seat," Peter said.Lucas looked at him. "Don't you hate me?""Hate, yes, but I'm old too, and I just want to be ordinary, and it's too tiring to live in hatred.""I can le

Lucas said sincerely, "For Shawn, Gale is his fate. Once divorced, I don't know what will happen to him. Any conditions can be raised as long as it was not the divorce… You can even use the entire Wood family fortune as a dowry!"The entire Wood family as a dowry?That meant transferring all the wealth of the Wood family and the Wood family to Gale's name!She would be the richest woman in the world!"Old man, I think you still don't understand. It's never about money. If Gale is willing to divorce, I will support her unconditionally, not even be required to give me any gifts. If she is unwilling to divorce, I will respect her."Lucas really had no choice but to kneel tremblingly, but Peter hurriedly supported him."Please go back. We are not in charge of the children's affairs."Peter seemed kind and docile, but when it came to principles, he was very assertive and would never back down.Lucas could not help it either.He came to the door in person at such an age for the sake

She felt like Cinderella, standing in the shoes of Mrs. Wood, attending the world's highest-level jewelry exhibition, and wearing an haute couture handmade dress.However, she knew the fantasy would disappear when the clock struck twelve, and there would be nothing left....On the day of the International Jewelry Fair, the whole Sea City was in a frenzy.Reporters, and the media, have been standing outside the exhibition since the morning just to be the first to report on it.The value of jewelry at the exhibition was valued at a large amount of money, so a large number of professional bodyguards were mobilized to patrol outside the exhibition hall to ensure that there would be no losses or theft.Those who could attend the exhibition are all prominent figures.Celebrities, rich people or politicians."This station is now outside the International Jewelry Fair hall, bringing you first-hand information.

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
