"She always wears a ponytail, follows me around and will share with me what she likes. When I do my homework, she will always be by my side. We were like a match made in heaven. I had deep feelings for her."Gale said, "Your childhood sweetheart."Just like she and Sam."Yes. However, she disappeared on her fourth birthday, and I haven't found her so far. But I haven't given up on looking for her," Aurum said with a nod."Mr. Lefting, you mean that I remind you of her?""No, you are not like her. She is chubby, and you are too thin. But… your temperament is very similar to her mother when she was young," Aurum replied.Only then did Gale suddenly realize.She reminded Aurum of a girl he used to love. Unfortunately, the little girl has never been heard from again, and her whereabouts are unknown. She was Aurum's 'what if'.So, after many years, Aurum would think of that little girl when he saw her."It turns out that you always wanted to give me what you couldn't give to that l

Just as she was thinking, a shadow suddenly fell in front of her. When Gale raised her head, she met Shawn's eyes.He raised his hand and pulled off her mask. "The stitches are removed.""Yes.""It will be fine." "I don't care. It's like, you don't care about your hands," Gale said."If I care about my hands, will you care about your face?"Gale frowned and remained silent.Shawn's tone sank. "You saw Aurum again. Gale, you know I'll be angry if you do this."She was startled and stood up abruptly. "You sent someone to watch me?""It's for your protection.""But..."Gale's back felt cold. To what extent had this surveillance gone?When she went to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a checkup... did someone follow her secretly?She must not let Shawn know about her pregnancy again!"Just to protect you. Don't think too much," Shawn emphasized again.Looking at his expression, Gale slowly relaxed. It seems that he did not know. Otherwise, he would not be so calm

"See what will happen to the person who hurts you."Gale could not help but flinch.She had always known how ruthless Shawn's methods were, but seeing Susan's miserable state with her own eyes, frightened her.There was a faint smell of blood floating in the air, which made her feel like vomiting.However, Gale was afraid that Shawn would think too much, so she tried his best to endure the discomfort in her stomach."I don't want to watch. I want to go," Gale said.Shawn did not move."Gale… Gale...Just...just kill me, I...I don't want to live anymore..." Susan said hoarsely.Her hands were covered in blood, new wounds on top of old wounds, and even the skin on her little finger was barely there.It can be seen how hellish the torture Susan had.Suddenly, a mouse came out from nowhere, jumped on Susan's body, and started to bite the rotten flesh on her body.Gale took two steps back."Let me go. Shawn...I don't want to see this," Gale said."Don't you feel happy seeing her

"Yes, his name is Pearton. From now on, he will be responsible for your personal safety and will be on call 24 hours a day. If you have anything, you can find him," Shawn said."What? Personal bodyguard?""Yes. He usually hides in the dark. Call him when you need to, and he will appear."Gale immediately refused, "I don't need it. "She had a bad feeling.Shawn first took her to see Susan, witnessed the tragedy with his own eyes, and then arranged for Pearton for her…What was he trying to do? "I can't let you have any more accidents." Shawn's attitude was firm. "Pearton must stay.""Didn't you arrange someone already to follow me?""Pearton has undergone special training and is very skilled. His skills surpass ordinary people."Gale thought to herself, 'He must be very loyal and will never betray Shawn and would be monitoring her closely.'Just as she was thinking, Shawn said again, "From today on, Pearton will be your shadow every night. Wherever you are, he will be there

"The rest of the Wood family won't dare?""Don't dare."Gale asked, "Did you forget that Lucas sent me to Aneria?""I negotiated with him, and he won't touch you again."Her heart skipped a beat. "Because of me, you and your grandpa..."Break up? Cut off the relationship?"You don't have to worry about it. Just leave it to me." As soon as the words fell, the gate of Temperley Hall slowly opened, and a luxury car drove in.The people who got out of the car turned out to be Paula and Zach!Paula was full of smiles and beaming, and her back was straighter than usual.Her son was finally back, this was her biggest bargaining chip, and she could feel proud in the Wood family!Zach walked over carrying his things. "Shawn, Gale, last time we met at the airport in a hurry, today I came to visit."Paula said, "Yes, yes, we are a family, and we need to meet more frequently. "It was clear that the mother and son were up to something.'If you want to visit, you should come the next d

"You dare to threaten me. You might be able to take over in your next life," Shawn said contemptuously.He put his arm around Gale's waist, turned, and walked to the house. "See them off!""Yes, Mr. Wood."Shawn was too lazy to talk to them anymore.Gale was secretly surprised when she heard the conversation.Paula and her son's desire for the rights of the Wood family were too obvious, almost to the point of madness.If it were not for Shawn's abilities far surpassing them, he would not be able to suppress them at all!Gale felt more and more that Alex Wood's death must have something to do with Paula and Zach!In particular, Shawn told her about splitting half of the shares the day before the car accident!However, Gale could not say anything and could only observe.When she found a chance to meet Sam in private, she would see if he had any clues!At this moment, Paula rushed over suddenly. "Don't leave!"She came to Temperley Hall today, and she came prepared.Although

He did not expect such a wise and powerful elder brother to be a smitten lover and to burn bridges with Grandpa because of Gale!Zach thought this was his chance!Unexpectedly, it was his 'sister-in-law' who appeared that had given him a leg up.As long as Shawn insisted on not wanting to divorce, then he would be able to join the Wood Group!Shawn did not speak, and there was dead silence all around."Shawn, do you agree?" Zach could not hold back and asked.Shawn repeated slowly, "I understand what you mean.""That's good. I'm all for the Wood family too… ah!"Before he could finish speaking, Shawn kicked Zach's chest!Shawn raised his foot and kicked him, causing him to back up a few steps and fell to the ground."Zach!" Seeing this, Paula quickly went to help him. "Shawn, how could you do this!"Zach clutched his chest and coughed several times.Shawn stood proudly in front of him. "What qualifications and bargaining chips do you two have to negotiate with me?" What d

No wonder Paula and Zach dared to come to his home to look for him when their grandfather was bedridden and sick. They had already prepared for it!Alex's ashes had been kept in the ancestral hall behind the old house, and no one had touched it.Paula actually...Shawn was livid. "Presumptuous! You dare to move his ashes at will!""Isn't it because you are too unfilial! Shawn, do you dare to say that you won't divorce Gale in front of your father's ashes? Will you be with her forever?""Her father killed your father. You are sworn enemies. How can you be husband and wife?""Your father valued you the most before he was alive. Are you worthy of him?"Paula cried and complained, and Zach also said beside him, "Yes, if father knew, how sad he would be? His death was so easily dismissed. People forget..."Shawn's forehead was bulging with veins. He clenched his palms tightly, and his face darkened terribly.He never thought they would do this, and there was no way to break it!Of

"What a good wife."Gale looked at Zach again. "Be quiet, and you can spend your whole life idle as a rich kid."As long as he did not commit suicide, his life would be more comfortable than ninety-nine percent of the population.The bodyguard quickly stepped forward and dragged Paula and Zach away."Let go of me. I'm the second young master of the Wood family!""I can go by myself. How dare you do anything to me!"No matter how Zach yelled, the bodyguard dragged him away mercilessly.Gale frowned and stood where he was.Now she was more and more sure that the death of Alex was related to Paula and her son!Just now, they forgot to cover up the frightened expressions of their mother and child, as well as their guilty conscience, and it was clearly revealed their guilty conscience!Especially Zach, who did not dare to look at the black-and-white photo of Alex on the vase!Just as Gale was thinking, her waist suddenly tightened.With a delicate fragrance lingering at the tip

Anyway, the door was locked, and Shawn could not get in. He would have to use an electric drill to unlock it.The feeling of having a room to herself was relaxing.Gale slept till dawn.She turned over and smelled a familiar faint male fragrance.Why did her quilt pillow have this smell?Wait, this was clearly Shawn's smell!Gale was jolted awake and sat up suddenly from the bed.Looking at the surrounding environment, she was sure that she was in the master bedroom!What? She obviously slept in the guest room last night!"Shawn! Give me an explanation!" Gale gritted her teeth.The door of the cloakroom opened, and Shawn walked out while putting on his tie. "Huh?""Don't play dumb! How could I be here with you here?""This is your room too.""Don't beat around the bust and answer my question quickly!"Shawn's face remained unchanged. "I don't know why you came to the master bedroom."What did he mean?"You don't know? Did I come here by myself?"Unexpectedly, Shawn nod
