The housekeeper raised his index finger and put it to his mouth, signaling her not to say anything.If someone overheard their conversation, the housekeeper and Gale would be finished.After the housekeeper left, Gale could not calm down for a long time.According to what the housekeeper said just now, the Wood family is the top wealthy family in Sea City. It looks glorious, but there are many unknown things hidden inside... For example… the fact that Paula is Shawn's stepmother.However... Gale had never heard Shawn mention his biological mother.Paula seemed to have been married for a long time, and Shawn disliked her, so he treated her badly. Could it be that Alex Wood's death was caused by the rich and powerful's struggle for power?Gale's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and she felt that something was about to come out.Just then, the phone rang.Her train of thought was interrupted.Gale answered the phone, "Hello, who is it?""Gale, it's me."Sam?Gale glanced
Gale replied, "I didn't have anything romantic to do with him, and we didn't talk about work. It was just meeting a friend.""Friend?""Yes."Shawn gritted his teeth. "Okay, stop being friends!"She was shocked. "Shawn you..."He had already stepped in front of Sam, grabbed his collar, raised his fist, and slammed it down.Heavy and harsh.Sam's nose started to bleed.Sam staggered backward before finally finding his footing, barely standing still."How dare you hit me?" Sam wiped the blood. "Shawn, if you marry her, you should cherish her!""Since you know she is my woman, you should die as soon as possible!""But you don't love her! Why are you torturing her!"Shawn sneered. "This is between her and me. You don't get a turn to give us advice!""If you can't give her the best, give her back to me." Sam's eyes were firm. "I can treat your trash as a treasure!""You wish."He stepped forward again and threw a punch.Sam swayed and started to counterattack with a backhand
"Gale, if you defend Sam like this, it will only make him die faster!"She explained, "I said it all. I am the one who looked for him. My mother... needs his help. "Shawn grabbed her shoulders deeply, lifted her up, and pulled her directly in front of him. "Would you rather go behind my back and beg him, rather than come beg me?""Shawn..." Gale looked at him and asked, "What more do you want from me?" How humble should she be?She had knelt, said please, obeyed him, tried being well-behaved, endured and bore humiliation...Everything that could be done, Gale had done.However, what he gave her was less than one-ten thousandths of what he gave Susan.Susan could buy a bag for hundreds of thousands with his credit cards. What about her?He was unwilling to give money for life-saving medicine.She still owed him money.Shawn squinted deeply. "You haven't tried it. How do you know I won't agree? As long as you are pathetic enough, maybe I will agree!""If you had agreed, I wou
Her voice was firm, and her eyes even more so.Shawn was deeply stunned.Such clear and persistent eyes... inexplicably made him flustered.Gale said, "I still have my life. This is my only and last bargaining chip."Shawn was even more flustered.He suppressed it. "Do you know what you're talking about?""Yes." Gale looked into the depths of his eyes. "Shawn, there is too much between us. Too many grievances and too much hatred. It will always exist and cannot be eliminated if I'm by your side for one more day.""You hate me, hate my father for killing your father, hate me for carrying someone else's child...but the child was conceived before marrying you. From the beginning to the end, I was a victim.""I don't know what I have done wrong to live such a life. Before I met you, I was a girl who lived a happy life and was as bright as ever… I had a bright future."Gale lowered her eyes slightly. "Forget it. I don't want to say too much. Shawn, I will use my life. I will end th
She was determined to die!Gale ran, and Shawn chased behind.He was tall and had long legs, quickly narrowing the distance between them."Stop, Gale!" Shawn roared deeply, his voice drifting to the sky, spreading far. "Guards, stop her!"Panic swept him, and his voice trembled.Gale ran away with her skirts in hand.She gritted her teeth, slammed past the security guard with her shoulder, and went straight for the lake!"Gale!"Shawn's voice was just behind her. He almost caught up with her!Gale took the biggest leap, jumped onto the fence with her light and agile figure, stepped on it with one foot, and then jumped down without hesitation.Shawn ran over quickly and reached out to grab her.The sound of fabric tearing sounded.He only grabbed the hem of Gale's skirt. The fabric tore, leaving a piece in his hand.With a plop, water splashed everywhere.Gale fell into the water like a mermaid.Beautiful, yet so tragic.The moonlight shone brightly on the water, and the
He carefully tucked her wet hair behind her ears and gently stroked her cheeks with his fingers."Mr. Wood..."He seemed to be unable to hear them and kept his eyes on Gale.It was not until the ambulance came whistling that he got up, put her in, and rushed her to the hospital.Shawn seemed to have forgotten that he was also wet.While pushing Gale into the emergency room, the doctor asked, "Did you fall into the water?""Yes." Shawn replied."Does she usually have any acute illness? The family needs to be informed."He paused. He knew nothing about Gale's physical condition.The doctor urged, "Come on, I need to save her."Shawn said deeply, "She... is a pregnant woman." The doctor was stunned for a moment, then nodded.The door slammed shut.He stood at the door of the emergency room with soaked shoes and water dripping from his sleeves."Mr. Wood, I brought clean clothes. You should put them on first...""No." He raised his hand and waved it away. "I'll wait for her t
When he walked into the living room, Susan saw him and ran over happily. "Mr. Wood... hey? Why are you wet?"After the whole night, Shawn's clothes were still damp.Susan wanted to reach out and touch it, but Shawn waved her away and strode upstairs."Mr. Wood...""If you have nothing to say, get out!""I…I just miss you."Shawn's figure disappeared at the entrance of the stairs.Susan gritted her teeth, feeling something was wrong.He was a nobleman. How could he return after a night out with such wet clothes and a haggard look?When Shawn finished bathing and changed clothes, Susan still had not left.He felt more irritable in his heart. "Why are you still here!"Mr. Wood was… disgusted by her?Shawn wanted to say something but suddenly coughed."Yeah, Mr. Wood, you have a cold." Susan became nervous. "You need to take medicine and see a doctor..."He ignored her and looked at the housekeeper, "Get the car, we are going to the company.""Okay."It would be a wonder if
She is alive.What about the child?The nurse just left and would not come again for a while. Gale's voice was so soft and frail that no one could hear her.She lifted the quilt and got out of bed with difficulty.As soon as her feet landed, she felt so weak that he almost fell to her knees.Gale gritted her teeth and insisted on walking out. "Nurse, my child... How is my baby..."Dead or alive?Just as she managed to move to the door, the door was pushed open from the outside.Gale's gaze fell into Shawn's deep eyes.After looking at each other for two seconds, she gritted her teeth, grabbed his sleeve tightly, and shouted hoarsely, "Shawn! Did you kill my child... You must have killed it! "Gale's eyes were red and bloodshot, staring straight at him.Shawn saw the hatred in her eyes so clearly.So intense.She hates him.Yeah, she should have hated him, like...he'd always hated her too.Because of hatred, Shawn threw Gale into a mental hospital.Because of hatred, she
