The bite marks behind Shawn's hand were still evident. The blood had dried up and was left unattended."Mr. Wood, I've known Gale's mother since I was young, and she watched me grow up. It's perfectly reasonable that I handle her affairs. Even Gale agreed," Sam said.He coldly responded, "I don't agree!"Gale smiled snidely. "Ha… Shawn, what gives you the right to refuse? You're the one who killed my mother! She died because of you! If you hadn't infuriated her, and if you had pressed the bell in time, she wouldn't have died! The person least qualified to handle my mother's funeral is you!"Every word was a crime on Shawn's name.Yes, he should not have entered the room.He should have pressed the bell. Even if Wendy had stopped him, he should have forcefully done it.However, it was already too late to say anything.The dead could not come back.Shawn put his hand around her waist. "Gale, no matter what, Sam can't be the one to handle it!"He was not so incapable that he nee

The black clothes had an elegant beauty to them when coupled with Gale's white skin.Aurum looked quietly for a few seconds, and his heartbeat actually sped out.He felt a little moved.He immediately averted his gaze, pushing down that feeling.How could he get any feelings for Gale? He had his fiance, Natalie. They had a great relationship!Gale did not know what Aurum was thinking. She asked softly, "Mr. Lefting, you mentioned faking my death last time. I think we can start putting it in motion. Shawn has been putting me under a tighter watch. It's going to be incredibly hard for me to leave alive."Are you ready?" Aurum asked.She nodded firmly."I've already figured out a plan," He tilted his umbrella toward her head. "You just need to follow through.""Mr. Lefting, please continue."The rain got heavier and heavier, pittering and pattering against the umbrella.There were raindrops next to their feet.Gale looked on as Aurum spoke, detailing the whole plan."... That

It was the first time he had ever heard anyone shout at Shawn!Yet, Shawn did not get angry and just looked at her. "If you're cold to me your whole life but remain by my side, I would be able to accept it."Gale glared at him. "You're shameless."When he heard that, he smiled.Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her feet. Shawn had bent down to hold her ankle, lightly lifting it to his knee."It's wet. Let's wipe it off and change to a new pair," he said.Shawn looked down and wiped her feet earnestly.His rough fingers constantly brushed against her tender feel. Gale wanted to pull her feet back, but he had a firm grip."No need. Shawn, let go. I'll do it myself," she said.That stance was far too intimate.Her white and soft skin complemented his honey-colored skin. It caused Gale to remember when he violently bullied her in bed unconsciously.Thinking about that, her face started to heat up. Worried that Shawn would notice, she decided just to let things be.When the car sto

Gale finally understood why Natalie seemed to see her with such animosity.So Natalie thought there was something between Aurum and her."Ms. Yarn, I think you've misunderstood things. The first time we met, I was definitely careless and was a bit too close to Aurum, but Mr. Lefting's already explained it. You know that I'm married to Shawn as well. I thought you would understand it," Gale explained.She was a pregnant woman. How could she have anything to do with Aurum?Her husband was even Shawn."That's right, I thought so then too. But you have an incredibly unusual relationship with Aurum! When you're in the hospital, he comes to visit you every time. He even calls you behind my back!" Natalie answered.Natalie bore with it the first few times, thinking that there was no way Aurum would be doing anything unspeakable with Mrs. Wood.However, she started to get worried after it started to get frequent.Not only was Aurum calling Gale, but she had also even heard Aurum shouti

Natalie said, "I've seen the pictures. But that was when I was young. A long time has passed, and I can't really remember."Natalie did not want to mention that anymore and changed the topic. "Mrs. Wood, you're an important person. You shouldn't get too close to Aurum. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good for you if Mr. Wood finds out."Gale smiled faintly. "Ms. Yarn, you must be really scared of losing Mr. Lefting.""I love him. Of course, I'd be worried about losing him!"Gale shook her head. "No, I feel like you're more afraid of losing your status as the Yarn family's heiress."Everything hidden in Natalie's heart had been exposed by Gale.It felt incredibly bad! Natalie was panicking!How did Gale figure it out?!Gale softly said, "Honestly, what's yours will be yours. No one can take it away. What doesn't belong to you will leave no matter how tightly you hold on to it. You must not have slept well these years.""Stop talking about it!" Natalie bit her lower lip. "Whether or n
