All Chapters of Skeletons Of The Marital Closet: Chapter 2001 - Chapter 2010

Who knew that just as Aurum rushed forward, Shawn casually tossed the bug aside. The bug flew across the air. Aurum never expected Shawn to do that. How can he toss such an important piece of evidence?Aurum's gaze followed it, and the moment the bug hit the ground, he rushed over and picked it up tightly. Shawn stood still, watching him as if he were a clown."Did you pick it up? And then what? What can you do?" Shawn asked.Aurum realized then that Shawn must have already backed up the recordings since he dared to show it so casually and throw away the bug. He was just too anxious and forgot about this.Sure enough, Shawn calmly said, "I've already backed up the recordings multiple times. You can't destroy them. Trying to keep secrets forever? Do you think you can fool everyone?""Fine, fine!" Aurum raised his hand and fiercely threw the bug to the ground. With a snap, the bug shattered into pieces, its shards flying, narrowly missing Ivy's face."You two have been plotting aga

What a clown."Did you arrange for the paparazzi to take intimate photos of Ivy and me, Aurum? Were you hoping that a few pictures could break Gale and me apart? Your plan failed," Shawn asked."Yes, it was me!" Aurum seized the opportunity to voice his doubts. "Why does Gale trust you so much?""Because she and I are married, bound together through thick and thin, for better or for worse, till death do us part. Aurum, you've never experienced marriage, so you don't understand how important trust and responsibility are. That's why you foolishly thought a few photos could come between Gale and me.""But why did you tolerate seeing Gale and me lying together on a bed in the hotel?"Shawn replied calmly, "I know she wouldn't betray me. Even if, by some chance, something did happen, she would be innocent, a victim, manipulated. The more so, the more I need to stand by her, support and rely on her."He paused, looking at Aurum with profound pity. "You will never understand."Aurum wa

After speaking, Aurum looked at Shawn. "Do you want to see them? So you don't think I'm lying."Shawn's face darkened. He had not expected that Aurum would have taken compromising photos of Ivy. If those photos were posted online, they would be devastating for Ivy. Not to mention the impact on her career; public scorn alone could destroy her. As a woman, how could she endure such severe online harassment? Seeing the change in Shawn and Ivy's expressions, Aurum finally felt he had the upper hand and more confidence."Think it over carefully. If you insist on giving the evidence to Gale, then I'll post all of Ivy's photos online, ruining her completely," Aurum said.He did not believe Ivy could ignore her reputation. Moreover, Ivy was the spokesperson for their jewelry brand; if she had any links to negative news, it would also affect the brand. With this tactic in hand, Aurum finally felt confident. Shawn did not speak. He certainly could not sacrifice Ivy! She had already done so mu

"I hate him deeply. Apart from acting, no one has ever slapped me. Aurum was the first," Ivy said.She would remember that slap and the pain it brought forever. It hurt her heart and left a scar."I'll take you home first. I'll arrange for bodyguards to follow you around the clock to protect you from any of Aurum's tricks," Shawn said."Thank you, Mr. Wood.""No need to thank me. I should be thanking you. Without you, we wouldn't have that solid evidence. Both Gale and I owe you our gratitude, though she will never know about this."If Gale knew the whole story, she would certainly feel heartbroken over the grievances Ivy had suffered.Ivy gazed at the road ahead. "Are you really going to keep the evidence to yourself, not go public, not tell Gale, and keep her in the dark?""We have no choice. Otherwise, the photos...""I said I don't care. I'm safe now, no longer under Aurum's threat. My life is secured. I'm not afraid of him anymore," Ivy said.Surviving and getting out of

"Mommy is number one, Nicole is second, and Grandpa and Grandma are tied for third, and..." Joshua trailed off.Shawn raised an eyebrow. "I'm not even in the top three?""You... barely make fifth. Fourth is Great Grandpa," Joshua replied. "Just because you bought me a star.""Thank you so much.""You're welcome, Shawn. By this calculation, Uncle Aurum ranks sixth."Shawn let out a cold laugh. "In your heart, he's just behind me.""For now, that's the order. You need to work hard and strive to get into the top three. Keep it up," Joshua said, patting Shawn on the shoulder. Shawn did not even glance at him and walked straight into the living room.Gale watched this scene with amazement. "You two are so oddly affectionate today. Did your relationship suddenly improve?"Joshua eagerly wrapped an arm around Shawn's neck. "We just collaborated on something big!""What big thing?""We..."Shawn suddenly coughed twice."Secret. Can't tell you." Joshua quickly changed his tune.
