Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Gale was really a natural vixen! “Get up!” Shawn tugged at his tie andspoke sharply. Hearing his voice, Gale immediately opened her eyesand sat up. “You are back...” He just looked at her with deep eyes andkept quiet. “What's wrong?” She looked left and right and explained, “Ideliberately slept in the corner and didn’t block the door!” “Have youhad the soup yet?" Gale was stunned for a moment, “Huh?” “Thesoup!” She shook her head and answered, “No. Do I have to drink it?"Shawn narrowed her eyes and said, “What do you think?” Gale got upand answered, “I'll go now.” She had no idea what was wrong with him.He kept insisting on her drinking Paula’s soup. “What time is it... Can Igo to sleep after finishing the soup?’ In the kitchen, Gale held a spoonand looked at the bowl of seafood soup in front of her. Shawn stoodbeside her, supervising her. She closed her eyes and stuffed it into hermouth, only to smell the fishy smell, making it hard to swallow. Galecould not take another bite after finishing half of it. “Is this enough?”“What do you think?” “I...” Her stomach was churning before she couldfinish her sentence. Gale covered her mouth and ran to the bathroomquickly. She vomited so badly that she threw up all the food she hadjust eaten. Hearing the sound coming from the bathroom, Shawnfrowned in disgust. This soup must be drunk to deceive Paula. Thehousekeeper came over and said, “Mr. Wood, there is a package foryou today, sent from abroad.” “Give it to me.” Shawn opened it andfound that it was the medicine that William sent him, which happened tobe a course of treatment. He glanced at the bowl of soup again, smiledsarcastically, and swallowed the pill expressionlessly. He had foundSusan. He just had to cure his illness and get the divorce three monthslater... Everything was in Shawn's control. Gale came out of thebathroom and clutched her stomach, still nauseous. What happened toher? Even if the seafood soup had been very fishy, she would not havevomited so badly. The housekeeper suggested, “Mr. Wood, do youwant to ask the family doctor to take a look at your wife?” “She won'tdie!” Gale looked at the housekeeper gratefully and shook her headgently, not to anger Shawn for her. That night, Gale leaned against thewall and hugged her knees, and only fell asleep in a daze when it wasalmost dawn. Downstairs, the kitchen was busy, and the servants werecleaning. Susan came to Temperley Hall early. She was so excited thatshe could not sleep a wink. She put on layers of her best makeup tomeet Shawn. “Where's Mr. Wood?" Susan walked into the living roomand asked loudly, “Why is no one welcoming me? Do you wish to keepyour job?” The housekeeper looked at her and asked, “You are..." “Youdon't even know me. Are you really blind? I'm the future Mrs. Wood!"The housekeeper replied, “Temperley Hall already has a mistress. Areyou going to be another one?” Susan's eyes widened. “What?Impossible! Mr. Wood himself said he wanted to marry me! If you don'tbelieve me, go ask him!" “Mr. Wood is still sleeping.” Susanimmediately rushed upstairs. She had to seize the opportunity, and shewould eradicate whoever got in her way! The housekeeper hurriedlychased after her, yelling, “Strangers are not allowed to go to the secondfloor!” Susan did not care. She stormed toward the master bedroomaggressively. Gale was woken up by the footsteps. When she openedhis eyes, she saw Susan's face before her. “It's you?” Susan looked ather. “I just thought you looked familiar.” “Susan?” Gale also lookedstrange. She has met Susan several times in the mental hospital. Thedean'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 thevery least, Jenny Timothy is still the daughter of a wealthy family.Susan asked, “Why do you sleep on the ground? I see. Mr. Woodasked you to watch the door, right? You suffered a lot when you were inthe mental hospital” The housekeeper chased after him and explained,“This is our mistress.” “What!? Y...you...” Susan was shocked. Galeactually married President Wood?! Dad told her that the woman Shawnslept with was Gale, but since Mr. Wood found Susan, it showed thathe did not know that the person that night was Gale! So he put one andone together and thought they could continue to pretend and keep upthe lie! However, Gale had become Mrs. Wood! How could that be?“Are you okay?" Gale said softly, “Shawn was sleeping inside. Hewould be angry if we disturbed his sleep, and we would go hungry forthe day.” Susan gritted her teeth and calmed down. No matter what,she will stubbornly pretend to be the woman that night. Gale better nottry to take her place! Susan replied, “I'm looking for Shawn. I didn’tthink 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 watchingmy own house. If you want to use that analogy, you've just broken intoa private home early in the morning and barked loudly. That just makesyou at most a wild dog that hasn't been vaccinated.” “You dare scoldme?” “I didn't say you must be one, but I can't help it if you have toadmit that you are.” Susan had a secret. “Don't get ahead of yourselfjust because you are Mrs. Wood! The person Mr. Wood wants to marrynow 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 anddodged. Seeing that she missed, Susan was not satisfied and slappedher in the face again, as if she would not stop until she was hit! Galeheld her wrist quickly and ruthlessly, and the other hand quickly fannedback. She was not easy to bully! However, at this moment, someonesaid in a stern voice, “Gale, try if you dare.” Gale was shocked, and allher movements stopped abruptly. Her palm was only one centimeteraway from Susan's cheek! Shawn had no need to stop her. Onesentence was enough to threaten her to stop. “Mr. Wood!” When Susansaw him, she acted aggrievedly and coquettishly, “Fortunately, you arehere...otherwise, I would definitely be slapped in the face!” Shawnfrowned slightly. “Why are you here?” “I miss you so much that I can'tsleep. 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 wouldnot believe such superficial words. Who knew... Shawn said in a deepvoice, “Ask her to apologize to you. Or, you can do whatever you wantto her.” She suddenly looked up at him and asked, “Really?” “Why don'tyou believe it?” Shawn asked back, “Can you be compared to her?”Susan leaned on his shoulder and beamed happily. Shawn's taste wasreally unpredictable, it turned out that he really liked this type ofwoman.
