Chapter 10

“How did you replace out what happened?” The subordinate replied, “Mr.Wood, this is what happened. This old man took a fancy to Ms. Fanningat the dinner party, and he insisted that she sleep with him one night.Otherwise, the dean would be unable to leave. The dean was forced tosend Ms. Fanning his way. Ms. Fanning would rather die than gothrough that. She escaped and inadvertently broke into your room whileshe was being chased.” Shawn narrowed his eyes slightly and walkedin. At this moment, the old man on the ground shouted, “Who are you?You dare to tie me up. Do you know who I am!” “Oh?” Shawn raised hiseyebrows deeply and asked, “Who are you?” “Do you know the Woodfamily? The number one wealthy family in Sea City!" “Heard of them.”The old man was triumphant and said, “I'm one of the cousins of theWood family, so be afraid! Let me go!” “Is that so...” Shawn's leathershoes kicked him casually. “I'm the President of Wood Group and thehead of the Wood family. Why haven't I heard of you?” The old man’seyes widened, looking at him in disbelief. “How dare you bring downthe 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 andhit the wall. The old man spat a mouthful of blood as he fell. Heretracted 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 replace away not to let this opportunity go! Shawn nodded lightly and said, “Well.After that night, I've been looking for you.” Susan's expression wasdazed for a moment. How could such a rich and powerful man look forher? She has never seen him in real life. She had only seen the heroicappearance of President Wood in the news and newspapers! Shawnasked after noticing Susan's blank expression, “Don’t you remember?”"Yes, she does remember!” Before Susan could answer, the dean nextto her immediately answered, “Mr. Wood, my daughter is just tooexcited. 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 youran away that night and was robbed of your innocence by anotherstrange man. I just never brought it up. However, Mr. Wood is here topick you up!” A smart person like the dean had already guessed whathad happened! He knew who he sent was not his daughter Susan butGale Warm! Gale ran away from the old man, but when she came backthe next day, there were bruises on her neck. Given what hadhappened... The dean pieced it together, and he knew that Gale Warmhad slept with President Wood! Susan was also clever. Seeing herfather’s constant winking, she immediately cooperated, “Yes, it's tooembarrassing for a girl... That's why I left without saying goodbye.” “Isaid I would marry you.” Susan's eyes lit up as being able to stay byShawn's side was a great blessing to her. Marry her? This was simply ablessing from the heavens! If she could marry into the Wood family, shewould not have to work so hard, making short videos and trying to bean internet celebrity. She would instantly become the rich wife of a topwealthy 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 oldman’s bed, which other man can I trust...” She feigned tears andstarted to cry. The dean also acted on and feigned his misery. “Susie, Ican’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 wasacting 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. Howcould her reaction be so different from that night... At that time, sheresisted and was afraid and left without saying a word, but now shewas 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 nolonger have to be afraid of this old man!” Shawn put away his thoughtsand hummed. Now that she had been found, he wanted to keep thepromise. He will marry Susan, but it will only take some time. “Let's go.”Shawn turned around. “Well, Mr. Wood, Susie and I have a few thingsto say.” The dean rubbed his arms and said, “Look...” “Alright.” As soonas Shawn left, the dean held Susan's hand excitedly. “It's our luckyday!” “Dad, tell me everything I need to know, or I will be exposed infront of President Wood!" The dean whispered to Susan's ear, told hereverything he knew, and warned her carefully. “Understood!” Susansmiled. “Having this information is enough! Dad, I'm going to replacePresident Wood!” She happily went to admire Shawn. Sitting on asports car worth tens of millions, Susan could not help but take out hermobile phone and take various selfies, each of which had to bephotographed with the car logo on the steering wheel. Shawn sent herto a property on the riverside, 300 square meters with a view of themost prosperous downtown of Sea City. Shawn handed her the keyand said, "You live here and a servant will come tomorrow. Just tell mewhat you need.” Susan took the key and was so happy that she hadstumbled into this. “Mr. Wood, our fate is intertwined, and I will definitelyserve you well in the future!” She rushed up to hug him but was pushedaway by Shawn. He was obsessed with personal space and hygieneand was not used to interacting with people. “Mr. Wood...” “It's gettinglate. You should rest first.” “But, I want to sleep with you.” Susanwinked, her clothes slipped from her shoulders, trying to seduce him.“Let's relive that night...” Men usually take the bait. She had to sleepwith Shawn as soon as possible to feel at ease since the woman thatnight was not her. Shawn furrowed his brows. If it weren't for the timeand place, he would doubt... whether Susan Fanning was the womanhe was looking for. Maybe it's been a long time since they had met, andshe was too happy to be reserved. Shawn said, “It's not the time yet. I'llgo first.” He left without hesitation. ... Back at Temperley Hall. Gale hadfallen asleep. She was still sleeping at the door of the master bedroom.From a distance, he could only see her long black hair. Shawn walkedover and looked at her condescendingly. Gale slept soundly. Sheturned over lazily, and the collar of her pajamas suddenly opened alittle, revealing her snow-white skin. Also, as his eyes gazed down toher chest... His throat tightened. How could he develop feelings forGale so easily! If Susan was the one he was looking for, how could henot feel anything?
