He needed to lie to Shawn.He even needed to lie to Summer.Gale really was ruthless, both to herself and others.Looking at how Summer was crying so hard that she was struggling to breathe, Summer really did not know anything. She really thought that Gale…She was dead.Joe rubbed his temples as he walked out of the office and continued to sort everything out.Aurum looked at the shattered glass on the floor.He never expected that Joe had been the one to look into him!With how deep Joe had looked, even if Joe had not found out about the whole plan, he must still have gotten a part of the information.With that information, Joe could absolutely figure out what would happen after that.Joe was Shawn's best friend, but Joe had still called Aurum to give Aurum a hint. What did Joe mean?Did Joe want Aurum to hand Gale over?What was Joe thinking?Aurum's head was in a mess. The further they advanced the plan, the more secure they needed everything to be!He looked at the t
Gale was already dead. What did she have to be petty about?!She had to hold onto Aurum tightly until they got married and had children!The past could be left in the past!…On the flat road, some cars would occasionally drive past, but it would quickly go quiet again. A black van drove past at an even speed, looking secretive and mysterious.The van did not use any highways and only drove on roads that were not commonly used.Gale slowly opened her eyes.She looked at the top of the car, and her mind was blank. It took her half a minute to compose herself.Everything that had happened before she fell unconscious started to flow into her mind.The sea, the yacht, the dark sky, the weightlessness of being in the air, seawater crashing at her from all directions, her sinking body…Then, a pair of hands grabbed her and swam toward the shore.After that, she did not remember anything.Gale sat up, and the blanket slipped off her body. She had already been changed into a T-sh
Gale asked, "Are you Zoe?"Zoe smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Lefting already let me know earlier. I have been here since this morning. I've been waiting for you!"Zoe used to be the Lefting family's Nanny and had taken care of Aurum.Two years ago, she returned home due to her health problems.Aurum trusted her a lot and left Gale to her.It was both because Zoe was experienced and also because Zoe had never liked to gossip when she was working with the Lefting family. She was someone reliable."Ms. Warm, I've prepared some food for you. I wonder if you'll like it. I even made some soup. Since you're with a child and you sat in the car for so long, you should nourish yourself," Zoe said."Thank you, Zoe. There's no need to be so polite. Just call me Gale. I'll be relying on you in the future."Zoe smiled and said, "Mr. Lefting said you were easy to get along with. Looks like that's true."Zoe knew her place, and did things very quickly. She never asked anything she did not need t
"Bury… what is there to bury? There is nothing left."Mr. Wood replied, "Bury her clothes. When a person dies, there must be a burial place so that loved ones can mourn."Joe glanced at Shawn, frowned, and quickly thought of a way. "Okay."He replayed the surveillance in the jewelry department conference room.Before Gale died, she often held meetings here, and the camera recorded her voice, smile, and every move.Joe cut out the part of Gale's speech in the video, put it next to Shawn's ear, and played it on a loop.Only Gale's voice can wake up Shawn!"My inspiration for this season's style comes from Summer...""The customers of Lovito are mainly young people in their twenties to thirties.""Mr. Winter, what do you think? Or does it need to be decided by Mr. Wood?"This move was very effective.After playing it several times, Shawn's eyebrows and eyes moved.They shouted in surprise, "Look, look!"Joe turned up the volume again.Gale's voice echoed throughout the ward!
Shawn kicked him hard in the chest.Pearton fell to the ground in pain, got up without saying a word, and continued to kneel.Shawn kicked again."Trash! Trash! You can't even look after a single person, so what use are you!" he yelled angrily.It was unsure whether he was scolding himself or Pearton."I asked you to shadow her, follow her. Why did you lose her!""She clearly knew that if something happened to her, you would suffer and take all the responsibilities! Gale's heart is so kind, and I did this on purpose to make her feel unruly, and as a result...""As a result, she still doesn't care about your life! Pearton, you are so useless!"Shawn cursed, and a foot was about to kick over.Pearton still lowered his head and endured silently.Shawn was the master, and he was the subordinate.He failed to fulfill his duty, and he deserved to bear the anger of his master.If this could make Shawn feel better, it did not matter if he got punished!"Okay, Shawn!" Joe chased af
That would mean… Gale was still alive.Joe's heart skipped a beat, and Pearton's expression changed rapidly.Shawn guessed it?!He found out the truth so quickly?This... was incredible!Joe looked at him. "Shawn...Did you forget that Gale can't swim." With one sentence, Shawn was sent to hell.He pulled up the corner of his lips and smiled bitterly. "Yeah, why am I so naive and deluding myself? She can't swim. If she jumps, she will definitely die!"Shawn was just trying to comfort himself.It was because he could not accept Gale's death.Shawn leaned weakly against the wall, with his head raised. This posture looked uncomfortable and strained.Joe stood beside him quietly.No one's words can calm Shawn. The only thing he could rely on was himself and time.Time would dilute everything.After a while, Shawn said, "Pearton."Pearton was silent."Never appear in front of me again."Pearton raised his head in astonishment. "Yes, sir."Shawn kicked over the chair next to
"Shawn, take one to three years; I will give you time to recover. You are not yet thirty years old. You still have a long way to go in your life, and you also have time!""However, in two years and three years, you will start a new life! The Wood family... the Wood family cannot be here with you, given how torn apart we have become!"Shawn twitched his lips deeply. "You only care about the company.""Every word I say comes from the heart! Days go by, and you will still marry a wife and have children in the future! You can put Gale in your heart, always leave a place for her, and then live your own life!" Lucas replied."Grandpa..."Shawn sighed deeply. "Tell me, how can I pretend to be Gale in my heart and be with another woman for the rest of your life?"He could not do it.No other woman, no matter how beautiful or charming, was not his Gale.She was unique!It was absolutely impossible for him to fall in love with a second woman again!Lucas looked at him pleadingly. "The
His Gale was never timid.Shawn had almost never heard her say that she was afraid, even in her most difficult time.What she cared most about was her family and her children, not him.In her heart, her dead children are more important than him."Things have already happened. There is no point in what you are doing now." Joe tried to approach slowly. "Come down first. It's too dangerous. I'm afraid you will take the wrong step.""Joe.""Yes,?"Shawn said, "I'll go and accompany her after I have settled everything. What do you say… how about it?""How should I arrange it?"Shawn was silent for a long time.When Joe was thinking how he should answer, Shawn opened his mouth…"Bring the Wood Group to a higher commercial standing, and accompany Grandpa to spend the rest of his life until the end of his life. Completely carry on the task of the Wood family, create an heir and have a succession plan.""After doing all of that, my mission as a member of the Wood family, and my goal
