Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

of her best makeup to meet Shawn. “Where’s Mr. Wood?” Susan walked into the living room and asked loudly, “Why is no one welcoming me? Do you wish to keep your job?” The housekeeper looked at her and asked, “You are…” “You don’t even know me. Are you really blind? I’m the future Mrs. Wood!” The housekeeper replied, “Temperley Hall already has a mistress. Are you going to be another one?” Susan’s eyes widened. “What? Impossible! Mr. Wood himself said he wanted to marry me! If you don’t believe me, go ask him!” “Mr. Wood is still sleeping.” Susan immediately rushed upstairs. She had to seize the opportunity, and she would eradicate whoever got in her way! The housekeeper hurriedly chased after her, yelling, “Strangers are not allowed to go to the second floor!” Susan did not care. She stormed toward the master bedroom aggressively. Gale was woken up by the footsteps. When she opened his eyes, she saw Susan’s face before her. “It’s you?” Susan looked at her. “I just thought you looked familiar.” “Susan?” Gale also looked strange. She has met Susan several times in the mental hospital. The dean’s daughter was not well educated and liked fashion and beauty. She was the kind of person who likes to act rich but actually isn’t. At the very least, Jenny Timothy is still the daughter of a wealthy family. Susan asked, “Why do you sleep on the ground? I see. Mr. Wood asked you to watch the door, right? You suffered a lot when you were in the mental hospital” The housekeeper chased after him and explained, “This is our mistress.” “What!? Y…you…” Susan was shocked. Gale actually married President Wood?! Dad told her that the woman Shawn slept with was Gale, but since Mr. Wood found Susan, it showed that he did not know that the person that night was Gale! So he put one and one together and thought they could continue to pretend and keep up the lie! However, Gale had become Mrs. Wood! How could that be? “Are you okay?” Gale said softly, “Shawn was sleeping inside. He would be angry if we disturbed his sleep, and we would go hungry for the day.” Susan gritted her teeth and calmed down. No matter what, she will stubbornly pretend to be the woman that night. Gale better not try to take her place! Susan replied, “I’m looking for Shawn. I didn’t think I would run into his watchdog. Get out of the way, I want to go in.” Gale raised his eyebrows and answered, “Well, at least I am watching my own house. If you want to use that analogy, you’ve just broken into a private home early in the morning and barked loudly. That just makes you at most a wild dog that hasn’t been vaccinated.” “You dare scold me?” “I didn’t say you must be one, but I can’t help it if you have to admit that you are.” Susan had a secret. “Don’t get ahead of yourself just because you are Mrs. Wood! The person Mr. Wood wants to marry now is me!” As she spoke, Susan pulled Gale’s quilt, threw it aside, raised her hand, and slapped her in the face. Gale tilted her head and dodged. Seeing that she missed, Susan was not satisfied and slapped her in the face again, as if she would not stop until she was hit! Gale held her wrist quickly and ruthlessly, and the other hand quickly fanned back. She was not easy to bully! However, at this moment, someone said in a stern voice, “Gale, try if you dare.” Gale was shocked, and all her movements stopped abruptly. Her palm was only one centimeter away from Susan’s cheek! Shawn had no need to stop her. One sentence was enough to threaten her to stop. “Mr. Wood!” When Susan saw him, she acted aggrievedly and coquettishly, “Fortunately, you are here…otherwise, I would definitely be slapped in the face!” Shawn frowned slightly. “Why are you here?” “I miss you so much that I can’t sleep. Who knew this woman wouldn’t let me in and called me a dog…” No rest for the wicked. Gale said nothing. She thought Shawn would not believe such superficial words. Who knew… Shawn said in a deep voice, “Ask her to apologize to you. Or, you can do whatever you want to her.” She suddenly looked up at him and
