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
"I… am looking for Aurum."Peter said, "Aurum's here with me. He'll be keeping me company for the next few days. Don't even think about taking him away!"Shawn pursed his lips.He had expected Peter to protect Aurum like that.However, how did he find out about Aurum being confined in Temperley Hall!"Mr. Wood, are you here to fish as well?" Aurum greeted casually.Shawn was even more unhappy at how Aurum was acting.With Peter protecting Aurum, he could not touch Aurum!Shawn walked forward. He had just taken two steps when Peter pointed at him. "Stay there. Don't come over. If you're rude to Aurum, I…I'll fight you!""I'm your son-in-law.""I don't even have a daughter anymore. How could I have a son-in-law?!"Shawn's expression darkened a little, but he quickly hid it.He could not show anyone else his moments of weakness.After composing himself, Shawn said calmly, "Since you like Aurum so much, I'll let him stay with you. I just came over to ask him a few questions."
Aurum let his voice drag.Shawn was not patient enough to wait and decided to just make things clear. "Yes, I'm beginning to wonder if Molly is Gale!"All kinds of evidence, signs, locations and the timing reminded him of Gale!Peter's face started to pale.Yet, Aurum suddenly started to laugh out loud instead.Aurum asked, "Mr. Wood, are you just speaking nonsense here? You personally witnessed Gale jumping down. You were the one who took her corpse out of the sea. Her grave is on the hill, right behind Temperley Hall! Now you're telling me Molly is Gale?"As he said that, he looked at Peter. "Mr. Warm, is he really crazy?"Peter was stunned for a few seconds before he recollected himself. He nodded. "That's right. What kind of crazy talk is that?! Gale, if she's still alive, how could she not contact me at all?!"Shawn's lips were pursed so thinly they formed a straight line.He knew that his thoughts were crazy as well.However, he was forced to have those crazy thoughts!
Otherwise, Shawn would not let him go if he left Peter's protection!As for what's next, Aurum felt like he would have to wait and see.The more tense the situation was, the less he could do.He needed to hold firm in the face of all these variables!He never expected that Shawn would connect Molly and Gale and even start questioning him about it!If that continued, it would be disastrous!Peter nodded and said, "You can stay as long as you want to. But you have to tell me what happened to her?""Gale is fine.""Then something happened to the children?"Aurum could not bear to continue. "Mr. Warm, I'll tell you once this week is over."If Peter found out about Nicole's illness, he might get high blood pressure from the stress!Aurum did not know what he had to do because he did not know what Shawn would do next!Thinking about it, Aurum contacted the bone marrow registry and had them quickly try to see if there was a match that could save Nicole!…At the inn in the villa
