"What happened next?"Natalie was stunned again.She swallowed, and said more cautiously, "Later... Mrs. Wood just jumped into the sea and died… they broke contact.""Broke contact?""Mr. Wood, are you confused? She is dead. How can we contact her..."Shawn looked at her deeply. "Since then, Aurum never had close contact with anyone, did he?"Natalie nodded."Heh..." Shawn suddenly hooked the corners of his lips and let out a sneer.The atmosphere was cold.Natalie knew if she said something wrong, it would make Shawn deeply unhappy.After all, ever since Gale passed away and Shawn's hair turned gray overnight, he has become more and more volatile and has a cold temper.Those who offend him will end badly!Natalie was restless and wanted to leave, but she was also afraid that Shawn would have something to ask her.If she had known... she would not have gone to Shawn back then. Now she felt guilty, afraid that Aurum would find out and Shawn would blame her!Shawn pressed
Zoe's consumption records did show that the money was spent in municipal hospitals. Therefore, Aurum's rhetoric has no loopholes."Okay, then, who are Joshua and Molly to you?""I don't know the two people Mr. Wood mentioned."Shawn stared at him deeply. "Joshua is attached to Zoe."Aurum smiled and said, "Oh, that's her grandson. I'm unfamiliar with Zoe's family; she seldom mentions it to me, and I have never been to a small county."No matter what Shawn asked, Aurum could reason.Shawn could not fault it at all.Shawn sneered. "No wonder you took so long to come, so… you were thinking of a countermeasure!""You are joking. I was in a meeting just now.""I don't have time to go around in circles with you." Shawn's face was gloomy. "Where is Molly? What is her real name, and who is she? Tell me!"He simply pointed out his face, unwilling to be hypocritical and polite.He had no patience!Aurum was not an easy person to deal with!Shawn had to find Molly. He had spent so mu
"I'm in the hospital, not in the town."Aurum warned, "I know, but for safety's sake, just be careful. In short, you can't be in the same place as Zoe again! Shawn will find out! "Gale gripped the phone tightly.How did Shawn find out about Zoe?What should they do?Should they move to the mountains?What about Zoe?If Shawn could lock Joshua in the hotel and lure her into showing up, he would definitely kidnap Zoe and lure her into showing up again!Gale knew his character too well!Aurum said, "Gale, just go first. Let's talk about it another time!""What about Zoe?""I'll go with you too." Aurum made a decisive decision. "The two children, too, take them."Gale sighed.What she was most worried about still happened.There was no avoiding it."Mr. Lefting, even if we escaped, what about you?"Aurum fell silent.Gale said, "He and I used to be husband and wife, and I know him well. With Shawn's character, if you can't find Zoe, he will definitely make things difficul
Gale's family stayed in a bed and breakfast.Joshua and Nicole were running in the field, plucking flowers.Zoe followed behind. "Slow down, two little monsters. I can't catch up with you."Gale stood on the balcony, watching this adorable and harmonious scene, yet feeling extremely heavy in her heart.She never expected that the designs she drew would attract Shawn's attention and bring huge troubles to her peaceful life.Aurum was also implicated.Time was running out. Should she continue to hide and stay or go to find Shawn...Gale closed her eyes....At night in Temperley Hall, the whole villa was brightly lit, and the bodyguards came in and out. All of them looked very solemn.Shawn stood in the middle of the living room.The crystal chandelier set off his silver hair more beautifully, making his facial features look cold and hard.Verbal status reports from subordinates kept coming out of the walkie-talkie."Mr. Wood, there is no one here at the hospital. They went
Shawn pursed his lips lightly. "Don't think I won't do anything to you."Aurum said, "I don't understand why you're so fixated on an unknown woman. The whole Sea City knows that all your hair turned white for Gale. You decided not to remarry, and you wouldn't have kids anymore. Are you going to break that vow?""My love and loyalty for Galey will be there forever."Aurum smiled in mild disdain."Mr. Wood, there's been a recent rumor that you brought a female employee away during a banquet. She looked a lot like Gale, so you kept her in Temperley Hall, hiding her amongst the riches. Is that true?" Shawn's expression turned cold.Aurum asked, "Can I see her? I want to see how alike they are."After a pause, Aurum sighed. "What's the point of looking like Gale? She isn't Gale and never will be."Shawn pulled at his tie in frustration.Of course, he understood that!However, he wanted to keep Gale's face by his side! He could look at her occasionally to fill the gaping hole in h
Natalie suddenly looked up. "Mr. Wood!"Shawn stood at the top of the steps with his hands behind his back. "He can only leave Temperley Hall if he gives me the answers I want."Natalie asked, "Aurum, what happened between you and Mr. Wood? Just tell him what he wants to know. It won't be any good to Lefting Group if you go against Mr. Wood!" Natalie was speaking in an anxious tone, not wanting Aurum to be too involved with Shawn.She did not understand why Shawn and Aurum would still be at odds even after Gale had been gone for so many years!Aurum said, "You don't have to care about this. It doesn't have anything to do with you. Listen to me. Go back home.""Then what about you?! Am I supposed to just leave you here?" "I'll be back in a few days. I'll just be distracted if you're here."Natalie shook her head. "I won't…""Natalie!" Aurum had a firm look on his face. "Leave, right now!"Natalie clenched her teeth as she stood in a place obstinately. "I'll go if you go."S
She introduced herself, "I'm Winnie Nightingale. Is Mr. Wood asking you about some woman? Where is she from? Does she look even more like Mrs. Wood than I do?"After a few moments of thought, Aurum nodded. "Yes, even more like you."Because that was Gale herself.Winnie started to panic when she heard that. "What do I do then? Doesn't that mean my place is in danger? It was so hard for me to get the surgeries to look like this, and someone ended up looking more alike than me. No, that's impossible…"Aurum said, "Don't panic. Shawn won't find her. I won't tell him where she is.""Really?""Of course. If I were to tell him, would I be confined in Temperley Hall?"Winnie nodded. "That's true… Then, make sure you keep your promise! Seal your mouth tight. You can't say a single word!"Aurum answered, "Alright. However, I can't be the only one working hard. You have to help too.""What can I help with? Just tell me, and I'll do it!""Of course, you should be working hard to gain Sh
Winnie said, "Mr. Winter, don't you know what happened? Last night, Mr. Wood confined Aurum from the Wood Group in Temperley Hall. He insists on getting Molly's location…"Joe was shocked. "What?!"Shawn managed to find Aurum so quickly?That was really fast!Winnie looked at him and continued, "Now, Mr. Lefting's at Temperley Hall. He says that you're the only one who can save him."It was not just Aurum that needed saving, but Gale too!Joe was the one who knew everything!Summer was quite confused when she heard that. When did Joe get close to Aurum?Why would he save Aurum?Furthermore, what did Aurum have to do with Molly?Summer was quite befuddled.Yet, he had a frown on his face as he got back into the car, stepping on the gas as he drove away.He could not plead to Shawn and help anymore.The last time, he had helped Joshua escape the hotel and deliberately sent Shawn the wrong way. Shawn was already unhappy enough.This time, if he went to save Aurum, Shawn woul
