Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 16

long-lost sense of familiarity! Suddenly, Gale shuddered. She placed her arms around his neck, lowered her gaze, and asked, “Shawn… can you give me some money?” She was really desperate. She wanted to treat her father’s burns. She also wanted to bribe the prisoners so that they would not be too hard on her father. That required money. Shawn sneered deeply and growled, “Heh, I was wondering why you didn’t push me away this time. It turns out you want money. Gale, you know, it’s a good thing I have money to spare.” Comment by Eunice Low: Did she push him? Comment by Rachel Lee: Sorry, this phrase I think we can change it to “this time you didn’t push me away, turns out you want money” “Yes, so can you give it to me?” Gale clenched her fists and forced herself to look at him. He stared at the corner of her lips and asked, “How much?” “Twenty thousand dollars.” Comment by Eunice Low: Did you conver this amount to USD?

Sure enough, Shawn roared, “How dare you!” “You are pushing me to desperation!” Gale said desperately. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “What do you want the money for?” Gale gritted her teeth and answered, “I…I have my own reasons.” She was afraid that if Shawn knew she would use the money to treat her father’s wounds, he would not give it anymore. After all, he asked Susan to do it! Gale said again, “It’s just that I want my salary in advance. In the future, I will draw jewelry designs every day to pay off my debts!” She used to be the best student in the design department of Sea City University. Countless brands want to hire her to work for them, and her manuscript was used as an example for her schoolmates! Shawn hooked his lips deeply and said, “Yes.” Comment by Eunice Low: Did he hook her lips or his? Comment by Rachel Lee: Sorry, he hooked his lips He was a businessman and had never lost money in any business he entered. Seeing that he agreed, Gale let out a long sigh of relief. Shawn transferred
