Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 15

At this moment, maintaining her dignity while ignoring her loved ones was useless. Susan raised her chin arrogantly and said, “Let’s start, or… I’ll change my mind.” Although Peter was injured, his mind was still relatively clear. He tried to stop her, “No, Gale, no…it doesn’t hurt…” Gale held back her tears abruptly. She lowered her head humbly and did as Susan wanted. The voice echoed in the small space. Every time she barked, it was like a knife was cutting her flesh! Susan nodded and said, “Not bad. Remember, Gale, treat me with respect in the future. The future Mrs. Wood is me!” She asked stoically, “Can you take my dad to the hospital?” “I will just get the doctor to take a look at him and prescribe him some medication. Is it even worth the money to send him to the hospital? Besides, are you rich?” Seeing Gale’s pained appearance, Susan’s heart was renewed with joy! When she knew that Gale actually slept with President Wood and almost improved her station in life, Susan was extremely jealous. Still, fortunately, her father was clever and pushed her to replace her, so she could get her glory and wealth. So taking advantage of the present, Susan had to fight hard to maintain her position, so that Gale had no opportunity to get there first! Since Mr. Wood seemed to favor her so much, even if he heard of what happened today, he would not blame her! Susan deliberately bumped Gale’s shoulder hard and walked away on high heels. Gale slowly crouched down and called out, “Dad.” “Gale, my suffering… daughter…” “It’s not suffering, Dad.” She held Peter’s hand tightly, holding back the tears that were about to fall from her eyes. “As long as you and Mom are still here, I will have the motivation to live!” … When she left the prison, it was already dark. The prison was very far from Temperley Hall, and Gale walked for two hours to get home. As soon as she entered the living room, Shawn’s eyes fell on her. She flinched but felt numb inside. He was a devil through and through, pulling her into hell, living was as if it was death itself! “Where did you go?” Shawn said in a deep voice. Gale knew that she should be more obedient and docile now, which was the best policy. However, she felt really uncomfortable, so she replied with a sneer, “Where did I go? Don’t you know best?” Shawn frowned deeply, “Do you think you are worthy of me sending someone to follow you 24 hours a day?” Gale said with a blank face, “I won’t do it tomorrow. I’m very tired. Can I rest?” “Are you aware of how you are talking to me right now?” In an instant, her tears and grievances were too much to bear, and she wanted to curse at Shawn! Why did he hurt her so miserably, and he wanted her to be respectful?! She could not. A momentary catharsis will only attract Shawn’s more terrifying punishment. Gale suddenly envied Susan so much. Why did she get Shawn’s favor and deep love? Trying to stay alive was so difficult for her! “Gale, I told you never to lie to me.” Shawn raised his hand and threw a set of photographs at her. “You still disobey me!” The photographs fluttered down. It was the picture of her standing at the door of the junkyard and bumping into Sam. The most conspicuous photo was Sam’s hand holding her shoulder. The photo was a little wrinkled, and it can be seen that it had been crumpled and clenched hard for a long time. “I explained our relationship with him today.” Gale tried her best to control her emotions. “I didn’t hide anything.” “Before today, you obviously met!” “It happened by chance.” Shawn asked coldly, “Then why didn’t you tell me?” “I had forgotten. Besides, there’s nothing to mention.” She was even more afraid that Shawn knew that
