Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 12

“Marrying Gale is only temporary. I couldn’t find you at that time, and I needed someone to occupy Mrs. Wood’s place, so I chose her.” Susan nodded, thinking to herself, ‘So that’s what happened.’ She was frightened to death, and she thought she would be exposed as soon as she replaced Gale. She asked again, “You will still keep your promise to marry me, right?” “Well. I’ll take care of everything before marrying you.” “Looking forward to that day!” Susan can sit back and relax again. Gale looked at the thick whip and said, “Let’s do it.” “Mrs…” “I know you’ll be in trouble too.” The housekeeper glanced at the stairway and after ensuring that Shawn had gone far, he raised his whip and cracked it. Crack! A huge sound echoed in Temperley Hall. Shawn ate breakfast gracefully, without moving his eyebrows. Susan listened to this sound, and her body and mind felt at ease. Gale, with me here, you won’t have a moment of peace! Crack! The other working servants trembled and went about their own work. Gale looked at the housekeeper in surprise, “You…” With these two whips, the housekeeper hit the ground, not her! The butler said, “Shh, don’t make a sound, lest you be found out. You are a good woman, and you are kind to us servants. I really can’t do it.” “If Shawn finds out, it’s over!” “I know. So I will whip you with the last one.” Gale understood what he meant and nodded. If she had no scars on her, it would be too fake. She took the whip. Her back was burning with pain, and her skin was ripped open. Gale looked at the housekeeper gratefully. No matter how bad the world was to her, a touch of kindness always warmed her. “Mr. Wood, the punishment is complete,” The housekeeper went downstairs and reported. He gave an indifferent nod. Gale stood by the side with her back slightly hunched because if she had stood up straight, it would hurt more. Fortunately, she was only hit once. One whip should not affect her collecting recycling. Susan suddenly said tenderly, “Mr. Shawn, I have one thing…I want to ask you for help.” “Ask away.” “I know that the Warm family is preparing a well-known brokerage company, right?” Shawn nodded deeply and answered, “The Warm family is ready to enter the entertainment industry.” Susan said, “Then, can I ask for your help with my resume? They had been really picky. It would be much easier if I had your help!” “Do you want to enter the entertainment industry?” Susan nodded again and again. “Well, this is my dream! And with you here in the future, others will not dare to bully me!” Shawn agreed, “Yes.” This could be his compensation to her. Perhaps, Susan would soon reveal the other softer side of her, allowing him to regain the feeling he had for her that night. Shawn gave Gale a deep glance and said, “You will continue to do errands in the company.” “Understood.” They were really from different worlds. Gale was working hard to pick up scraps, earning a few dollars. Susan casually got into the entertainment industry… Becoming a star and making more money! What’s more, there was Shawn who seemed to support her deeply! After Shawn left, Susan put away her sweet smile and showed her true colors again. “Refusing to bark, I see. It’s alright. You will bark sooner or later. I will have you kneel in front of me and bark loudly.” Gale could not bother to even look at her. She still had to walk to the Warm Group. If she were late, Shawn would be furious again. “You’re ignoring me, Gale, stop!” Susan stood in front of her and said, “I advise you
