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

As he said that, Pater patted Aurum's shoulder with a smile. The two of them walked out together.The housekeeper watched as everything happened, not knowing what to do.Peter was Gale's father. Even Shawn treated him with incredible respect, so how could the housekeeper dare to stop him?!Thinking about it, the housekeeper said with some difficulty, "Mr. Warm, Mr. Lefting might not be able to follow you right now…""He can't? Why no?""Oh, it's because… Mr. Wood said so."Peter answered, "I understand. If he wants Aurum, get Shawn to come to see me."Just like that, Peter brought Aurum away.The housekeeper was forced to report it to Shawn immediately.When Shawn heard that, he merely said, "I understand."It was like nothing was wrong. However, Shawn hung up the next second.Peter had never treated Shawn as his son-in-law before.In fact, Peter treated everyone with a smile. He was a gentle and good old man. Yet, to him, Peter always acted cold and emotionless!Shawn kne

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
