Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 7

were the lowly cleaner who cleaned my shoes!” “Ms. Jenny, go to the hospital to see an ophthalmologist when you have time.” Gale wanted to leave, but Paula stopped her. “Okay, Jenny is sorry for what she has done, but I’m your mother-in-law. Why haven’t you greeted me when you saw me?” “Paula, I didn’t recognize…” Paula gave her a pointed look. This was not her first rodeo. Paula started to piece it together in her head and understood what was going on. So… it turned out that Mrs. Wood was not favored at all! Otherwise, how could she polish Jenny’s shoes? Since Paula married into the Wood family, Shawn had not liked her and found all excuses to go against her. So, Shawn was putting on a show for her! Paula dragged Gale to sit beside her, “Well, since you’re here, ugly daughter-in-law has to greet her in-laws.” “I still have something to do, so I can’t accompany you, Paula.” “What did you call me?” Gale replied, “Well… my husband calls you that too.” Shawn had made her slap herself because she apologized to Paula… She had not forgotten it. It was evident that Shawn hated this stepmother very much. Paula said meanly, “How dare you say that? How stupid do you think you are?” “That’s right.

Help me!” Paula smiled and said, “This is my daughter-in-law. She quarreled with my son and ran away. I was about to take her home…” The passersby saw what was happening and looked the other way. Gale could not match their strength, so she was dragged into the car. Paula pinched her hard, “Hey, arrogant. I have to teach you a lesson today!” Gale said, “How dare you! If Shawn found out, he wouldn’t let you go!” Jenny replied proudly, “You think Shawn will… offend Paula’s family for you, a cleaner?” “Yes!” The car whizzed away. … In the Wood Group Headquarters’s conference room, Shawn raised his wrist and glanced at the time after the meeting. “Mr. Wood, lunch is ready,” Fiona said. He nodded and suddenly remembered something. “What about her?” “Er… I’ll contact her now.” Fiona was famous for being kind-hearted in the company. Besides, Gale is still Mr. Wood’s wife. As long as Mr. Shawn does not specifically instruct her to do so, she will not target Gale and let her rest. Shawn waved his hand deeply. “No need.” Why was he looking for her? It seemed that he missed her! No, he was looking for
