That was a bad habit.While eating breakfast, Gale proposed, "I'm going to the company today, and I'm going back to work normally.""Okay, but there is one request.""What?""Take my car."Gale replied, "I can take the bus.""Then I will follow the bus."Gale was speechless.Shawn took a sip of coffee slowly. "Of course, there is a second choice. "She asked, "What?""Let Pearton send you off.""Do you really want to arrange a shadow bodyguard for me?""Yes. You don't need to worry about him. He will come out naturally when needed."Gale had a headache.She was pregnant again, and she would have to leave Sea City sooner or later. She had to leave before her belly showed signs of pregnancy.What about Pearton?Was he really going to be implicated, punished, and endured Shawn's thunderous wrath?"I will take your car," Gale said helplessly.Shawn smiled.Gale reached for her bag when going out, but Shawn was one step ahead of her.Shocked, she quickly grabbed the bag

In a private room in the Tea house."Long time no see. Gale, how are you doing all this time? Sam looked at her."Oh, that's old news… let's just move on.""Why did you and Shawn show up at the airport that day?""Lucas sent me away, and Shawn personally went to get me back. It just so happened that I met you and Zach," Gale replied simply."The conflict between you and the Wood family has reached such a deep level.""Yes."The entire Wood family could not tolerate her, but Shawn loved her deeply."The way Shawn looks at you is completely different from before. Gale, he seems to be in love with you," Sam said.Gale was startled. Can even Sam notice it?Is Shawn's love for her so obvious?Sam could see what she was thinking. "Gale, I'm a man, and men understand men. Besides, Shawn didn't hide it at all, and I could spot it at a glance."Gale smiled bitterly. "What's the use of his love?""If the truth is revealed, there is no hatred between you and Shawn for killing your fa

After a long silence, Sam said, "Maybe, none of them lied. The one who lied… is Alex."Gale was startled. "Alex?""If I guessed correctly, Alex found Shawn and asked him to give half of the shares to Zach to support his half-brother. However, Shawn is not willing. Alex understands this son's character and knows this matter needs to be negotiated slowly, and it won't work out in a while.""So Alex planned to approach Shawn first, express his ideas, and then discuss them. Who knew, that night, Zach's girlfriend was pregnant and got him into trouble. When he told his father, Alex was very angry, and in a fit of anger, he said that he would not give any shares to him, which made Zach feel dissatisfied. Alex's words made Zach feel ashamed and hopeless.""Then the next day... Alex was seriously injured in a car accident. Peter went to the emergency room for treatment, but a medication error hastened Alex's death." Sam's expression was solemn. After finishing speaking, the whole box fel

Pearton was like an emotionless robot. "Don't worry, ma'am. I'm only responsible for your safety, and I won't intrude on your privacy."Gale heaved a sigh of relief.After thinking about it, she tentatively asked, "Can you not tell Shawn who I met?"Pearton shook his head. "No.""You are my bodyguard, and you should obey me. As long as I am safe, you don't have to report everything to Shawn," Gale said.Pearton replied, "Mr. Wood asked me to report everything."This guy was such a hard head."Are you sure you want to be on Shawn's side? Not on my side? I have to find a way to save..." Gale asked.She covered her mouth.Pearton's safety had to be added into her escape plan now.Gale did not want Pearton's life to be completely ruined because of her after she left.The results of it? Pearton still did not listen to her!"I don't understand. You still want to leave," Pearton replied."I didn't say that!"Pearton looked at her and said, "Ma'am, just follow your own heart, don

"Hehe, it's just to meet and chat. Now you are the treasure of Shawn's heart. Even if I have a hundred guts, I won't touch you."Gale replied, "Alright, I'll be right over."Although she knew what Paula's purpose was, as the saying goes, 'If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cub.'If she wanted to find the truth, she would have to get in close contact with Paula and Zach.Only after talking a lot can she find a breakthrough this way!Gale was late for the appointment.Before entering the coffee shop, Gale called tentatively, "Pearton?" In the corner, Pearton quickly appeared. "Ma'am.""It's nothing. It's good that you are here." she smiled.By the window, Paula and Zach were both there.Zach's eyes kept looking at her from head to toe, which was very uncomfortable.Gale sat down opposite. "I'm here. What do you guys want to talk to me about? Just be direct and don't beat around the bush."​​Zach stared at her. "I really don't know why Shawn is so

She thought about it and deliberately asked, "How much are you willing to fork out?"Paula and Zach looked at each other.After a while, Zach asked, "How much do you want? Say the number."Gale spread seven fingers."Seven million?" Zach stood up suddenly. "Gale, you really are a shark!""Wrong.""Fifty million?"Gale smiled slightly. "Seven hundred million."Zach's face changed drastically. "You… you're such a thief!"He was a little agitated, and his voice raised unconsciously, causing the people next to him to look this way.Paula was also shocked. "Gale, you really dare to ask for it."Seven hundred million was an astronomical figure that they could not imagine.That was wealth that only Shawn and Lucas possessed!Seeing everyone looking at this side, Gale simply started acting.Gale looked aggrieved and pitiful, with tears in his eyes. "My husband and I really love each other. I don't know what offended you that you insist on breaking us up...""I can leave, you can

"Are you sure, as long as I get seven hundred million, you will leave? Do you not regret it?""Yes.""Didn't you keep saying that you and Shawn really love each other? Can it be measured by money?"Gale replied, "We really love each other, but if you offer too much money, I can't refuse."After finishing speaking, she turned around gracefully.After taking two steps, Gale stopped and froze in place.She saw Shawn standing there. His eyes fell on her. His face was very ugly.How long was he standing there? Had he heard the whole conversation? "Seven hundred million?" Shawn took a step forward and walked in front of her. "In your heart, I'm worth seven hundred million?"Well, he had heard it.Gale swallowed her saliva. "This is a lot of money... Paula can't even get it out."Shawn narrowed his eyes deeply. "So, if someone can get it out, you will agree to leave?""I want to leave even if I don't get any money, let alone that amount."His face instantly became terribly glo

"So? You can leave me without hesitation for money?"Gale laughed angrily. "Why are you losing your temper, and why are you jealous? I just said that I don't need money to leave you.""Gale!"She continued, "Besides, Paula and her son can't afford it. I'm just teasing them and acting. Why take it so seriously?"Yes.Of course, Shawn was serious.When he watched her say those words lightly, his heart ached.Although he knew that her greatest wish was to get a divorce and then fly away, he was still unwilling to face it and admit it.Gale bit her lips. "Taking a step back, even if I really leave you for seven hundred million dollars, it's only human. How many women can refuse such a huge sum of money? Or do you think that love is more important than money?""Don't think too highly of yourself, Shawn. How good are you to me? How sincere are you to me? Have you loved me unreservedly from the very beginning? If you can actually do that and love me sincerely and truly, I, Gale, don'

In the past, Paula and Zach could not find a way to deal with him.It was because Shawn was so strong and invincible.Gale did not make a sound, and after a few seconds, she continued to walk toward the door."The more you want to leave, the more impossible it is for me to let you go. No one can take you away from me," Shawn said. The door was gently closed, separating the two of them.Shawn punched the table.Elevator entrance."Pearton," Gale called softly."Ma'am.""You informed Shawn, right?" she asked.Pearton shook his head. "No."Gale was a little surprised. "You did not say? Then how did he know?""Ma'am, I did not report to Mr. Wood, who you met. I am just here to ensure your safety," Pearton replied.Gale looked at him and felt that this person was quite reliable.She nodded, walked into the elevator, and picked up her phone at the same time.She sent Zach a message."I can leave Shawn, but I need to ask you one thing. As long as your answer satisfies me, I can

"No, I can buy it myself.""You really need to replenish your body. We are preparing for pregnancy after all," Shawn said.Gale looked up at him."This weekend, I'll take you to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination. Take care of yourself," Shawn said again.Gale immediately objected, "I won't go.""Why?""I...I don't like hospitals. I feel bad when I smell disinfectant," she replied."Just go for a physical examination."Gale could not help becoming nervous.If Shawn insisted on taking her for a checkup, then her pregnancy would definitely be exposed!Knowing that she was pregnant, he would definitely keep her by his side, limit her possibility of escaping, and... the child would also belong to him!Gritting her teeth, Gale turned her back to him. "Shawn, do you know that every time I go to the hospital, I always think of that dead child? Especially if you take me to the hospital yourself, it will remind me even more so. I feel scared! I have trauma!" Ther
