"Stupid Gale…" Summer sniffed. "We're friends. I understand your feelings. There's no need to say much."Gale nodded.Summer was the only one who could get her to open up."As for Susan, the bug is still working. Time's slowly ticking away. I wonder if I'll manage to hear some secrets before the power runs out," Gale said."Even if the power is out, I have my ways.""What ways?"Summer acted very mysteriously. "I can just find an excuse and tell her that the diamond needs to be maintained or something similar, then she'll obediently give us the ring."Gale finally revealed a rare smile. She hoped that everything would go smoothly.She did not want to wait anymore, nor did she want to drag things on any longer. She just felt very tired.Summer stayed there and only left at night.Gale forced herself to eat a few mouthfuls of food before she lay on the bed and stared into space.She would occasionally touch the fruit knife beneath the pillow.Yes, it was still there."Gale

She would teach Susan a lesson and soothe the hatred in her heart!The guards looked at the two women and felt incredibly troubled.One was the one that Mr. Wood liked, while the other was Mr. Wood's wife…That…"What? Are you ignoring my orders? Can't you do something so simple?" Gale started to pressure them. With a twist of her hand, she pushed Susan to the guards.One of the guards grabbed her. "Ms. Fanning, apologies.""Ah!" Susan cried out in anger, "Gale, what are you trying to do?!"Gale ignored Susan and told the servant by her side, "Go get a bucket of water.""Yes, ma'am."This whole floor was basically staffed with Shawn's people.Gale was not worried about anything.She hoped that news of this incident would immediately reach Shawn's ears!A bucket full of water was brought over. Gale glanced at it and said, "It's too clean.""What?" The servant was stunned.Gale picked up a broom and swirled it around the water. After that, she tossed it away before reachi

"Shawn loves me deeply, but he can't accept that child. Now that I've had a miscarriage, he wants us to be a normal, loving couple."Susan shook her head vigorously. "I…Impossible!""If you don't believe me, you can ask him.""How could Mr. Wood like you?! You're the daughter of his enemy!" Susan shouted out, unable to believe it."Love is love. He admitted it himself." Gale walked closer to Susan, lowering her voice. "But I don't love him. So… If you tell me who the man from that night is, I'll retreat, and you'll get another chance."Susan wiped the dirty water from her face before falling silent.He clearly knew that Gale was the daughter of his enemy but did not know that Gale was the woman from that night. Even under those circumstances, Shawn still fell in love with Gale.How deep were his feelings for her?!"Are you going to tell me or not? Are you going to keep this secret your whole life?" Gale asked.Susan stared at her and answered, "I will never tell you. Never!"

Gale almost failed to push her down.On top of that, there was water all around her feet. It was wet and slippery. Gale took two steps back, starting to sway, and lost her balance. Shawn hurried over. His long arm circled her waist, pulling her into his embrace."Careful." Gale fell securely into his arms.Susan finally crawled up. Her whole body was wet, and she looked like a crazy lady who had just fled a natural disaster."Mr. Wood! You're finally here! This woman kept on bullying me. She pushed me into the water and refused to stop… She was trying to kill you! If you came any later, I might have drowned!" she immediately complained.Gale answered emotionlessly, "Aren't you still alive?""Y…You really wanted to kill me?!""Yes. It's not just you. I even want Shawn's life."Susan immediately looked at Shawn. "Just listen to how venomous her thoughts are!"Shawn pursed his lips, looking down at Gale to make sure that she was fine.Ture, his men were all here, and he had

Susan did not like how delicate and elegant Gale looked, so Susan constantly picked on Gale.After that, she got to know Shawn. With Shawn behind her, she constantly bullied Gale.And yet! Susan never expected that Gale would ever be standing on top of her!How could Susan ever stomach that anger?!"Gale, I'll remember what happened today. Don't let me get the chance, or I'll definitely have you pay an even more painful price! I'll have you on your knees begging for mercy!" Susan said venomously to herself.She wiped her face again and looked at the toilet bowl. After that, she started to vomit again.Water that had been used to clean a broom, toilet water… She had drunk it all!Gale was a despicable woman!She needed to look for her father to figure out a plan!In the hospital ward, Gale had been about to close the door when Shawn reached out to stop her.She tried to close it with some more force, but he was able to open it with one hand and walked in."I don't need you

"You were doting on me?""Yes, didn't you feel it?"Gale was speechless."My patience is limited." Shawn pulled out a chair and sat next to the bed. "Gale, as a woman, you should have some sensitivity.""I'm sorry, I'm just completely insensitive. You should go dote on someone else. I don't need it."He frowned unhappily.Gale flipped through her book, wanting to give it a good read. However, Shawn kept on staring at her by the side, not letting her calm down."It's quite funny." She closed her book and said, "Susan's your benefactor, but you can kick her aside just like that, running to me. Shawn, all I have for you is hatred. Once you get over the novelty of it all, my end… might be ten thousand times worse than Susan's."Gale was not blinded by love.Her mind was very clear.She knew very well how shallow and weak the love Shawn constantly proclaimed was.It would be the start of her tragedy if she stupidly believed him and fell into his arms.Furthermore…Shawn had mad

She hid her knife there!Could Shawn have noticed?Gale did not dare think about it any further. She held her breath, not daring to breathe. Shawn gently pried her hand away. "What? Why are you so afraid of me touching your pillow?""I…I'm not…""Are you worried I'd find it?"Shawn quickly pulled out the knife hidden beneath the pillow as he said that.Gale was completely dumbfounded.He actually knew of her hidden knife!How did he know that?!"Are you surprised?" Shawn's defined hand held the knife. "You hid it so well, but I still noticed it…""Y…You…" Gale stammered, unable to say anything.It was the first time she felt how scary and unfathomable that man could be!Shawn said casually, "You asked the guards to buy so many fruits, but the knife disappeared. I guessed it very easily."Gale bit her lips."The room is so large, so where could you hide it? It's obviously the pillow. Gale, tell me, what were you hiding this knife for?" Shawn said.He raised an eyebrow,

What was he thinking?Was he really not afraid of dying?Or… Was he certain that she would not have the guts to do it?!"Shawn, don't be too confident in yourself. There's a sea of hatred between the two of us. I want nothing more than for you to die right now!" Gale said through clenched teeth. "I know. So, do it." Gale clenched her teeth and slowly pushed the knife in.Blood slowly seeped through Shawn's shirt.His expression did not change at all.It was as if that blood was not his!"I hate you. I hate you so much!" Gale repeated. She did not even know if she was saying it for her sake or his. "I hate you so much that I want you to disappear from my sight right now… Shawn, you ruined my whole life!""I know. I was too cruel to you before this. So, I'll return everything to you.""You're paying me back with your life?"Shawn nodded. "Yes, with my life and my heart. You can have everything you want."Gale clenched her teeth. "The Wood Group and family, the power and st

As Gale was shouting out, her hand was moving out of control. The sharp knife left a thin and long cut on her neck. It was not deep, but it still broke through the skin. Blood slowly flowed out.That wound was far more painful than any wound that could be inflicted on Shawn himself.At that moment, he knew that she had successfully punished him."Alright, alright, It's my fault." Shawn no longer cared about anything else at that moment. He just wanted her to put the knife down. "It's all my doing. You were completely innocent. Gale, don't do this!"Gale looked at him. His fear and helplessness were not something that could be faked.So… he really did fall for her.When did that happen?She had not noticed at all."We can talk about anything. I'll promise you anything. I'll give you whatever you want!" Shawn stared at her, not even daring to blink."I want my child. I want my child to be still living in my stomach. Can you do that?"Shawn fell silent.There was no way to re

Gale refused it with all her might, frantically shaking her head as she did."If you hated me enough, there's no way you would have hesitated to push that knife in when there was such a good chance in front of you. While you hate me, you love me too," Shawn said calmly."No, that's impossible. How could that… No, it's not like that! Shawn, I don't understand what you're saying!" Gale clutched her head as she loudly rejected the idea.One of her parents was in the hospital because of him, and the other was in jail. Her future had once been bright and beautiful, but because of him, she spent two years in the mental hospital.He had even personally gotten her child aborted…How could she fall in love with a demon like that?!Shawn merely looked at her calmly before pressing the call button. "Have the doctors come over.""Yes, Mr. Wood."A few doctors and nurses pushed the door open and entered very quickly.When they saw the scene in the ward, all of them were dumbfounded and s
