Chapter 10

and the head of the Wood family. Why haven’t I heard of you?” The old man’s eyes widened, looking at him in disbelief. “How dare you bring down the Wood family’s name by showing off your power!” As he spoke, Shawn pressed his feet hard and kicked the man hard till he flew and hit the wall. The old man spat a mouthful of blood as he fell. He retracted his feet gracefully and slowly asked, “Your name is Susan?” “Yes, yes.” Susan was shocked and admired his powerful aura. “Mr. Wood, are you looking for me?” He was such a catch! She must find a way not to let this opportunity go! Shawn nodded lightly and said, “Well. After that night, I’ve been looking for you.” Susan’s expression was dazed for a moment. How could such a rich and powerful man look for her? She has never seen him in real life. She had only seen the heroic appearance of President Wood in the news and newspapers! Shawn asked after noticing Susan’s blank expression, “Don’t you remember?” “Yes, she does remember!” Before Susan could answer, the dean next to her immediately answered, “Mr. Wood, my daughter is just too excited. I didn’t expect you to come to her!” Susan tugged his sleeve. “Dad. This…” The dean said loudly, “Oh, don’t hide it. I know that you ran away that night and was robbed of your innocence by another strange man. I just never brought it up. However, Mr. Wood is here to pick you up!” A smart person like the dean had already guessed what had happened! He knew who he sent was not his daughter Susan but Gale Warm! Gale ran away from the old man, but when she came back the next day, there were bruises on her neck. Given what had happened…The dean pieced it together, and he knew that Gale Warm had slept with President Wood! Susan was also clever. Seeing her father’s constant winking, she immediately cooperated, “Yes, it’s too embarrassing for a girl… That’s why I left without saying goodbye.” “I said I would marry you.” Susan’s eyes lit up as being able to stay by Shawn’s side was a great blessing to her. Marry her? This was simply a blessing from the heavens! If she could marry into the Wood family, she would not have to work so hard, making short videos and trying to be an internet celebrity. She would instantly become the rich wife of a top wealthy family, having fun all day! “I thought you were just joking.” Susan began her act. “After all, if my father can send me to the old man’s bed, which other man can I trust…” She feigned tears and started to cry. The dean also acted on and feigned his misery. “Susie, I can’t do anything either. I was the happiest when I heard you escaped. I thought, no matter what, I’ll protect you!” The father-daughter duo was acting perfectly in sync. “I always do what I say.” Shawn pursed his lips. “So I’m here to pick you up. Susan, are you willing to come with me?” Susan was waiting for his words, nodding eagerly. “Yes, yes! Actually, I’ve been thinking of you too!” Shawn frowned subconsciously. How could her reaction be so different from that night… At that time, she resisted and was afraid and left without saying a word, but now she was so proactive! “Mr. Wood, you are my knight in shining armor!” Susan took his arm and said, “With you here, my father and I will no longer have to be afraid of this old man!” Shawn put away his thoughts and hummed. Now
