Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Even Jenny was better than Susan! Was he blind or was he crazy?Susan said, “Gale, you have to apologize to me! Bark three times!” Shesaid firmly, “No way.” She could apologize but not bark. Susanimmediately shook Shawn's arm and said, “Look. She doesn’t wantto...” “Gale, I'll give you another chance to answer.” She raised herhead and met Shawn's narrow gaze. “No! Way!" His eyes darkenedinstantly. Is she rebelling against him? What a bad girl! Shawn bentover and pinched her chin. “Don’t ask for trouble. Do you want to learnhow to bark, or shall I give you three whips?” “I'd rather be whipped.”He snorted coldly and ordered, “Okay! Bring the whip!" Thehousekeeper offered it with both hands and sighed inwardly. Galesmiled bitterly. “No matter what, I'm still your wife in name. Shawn. Whois Susan that can humiliate me like this for her?” “She is the person Itried so hard to replace, and also the Mrs. Wood in my future life. Do youunderstand?” He said coldly, “How can you be compared with her?” Itturned out that the person he loved was Susan. It's a bit unexpected,but she can only accept this reality. Gale closed her eyes, stoppedtalking, and silently waited for the whip to hit her. Three whips, nomatter how much it hurts, the pain will pass. Looking at her pale facebut full of stubbornness, Shawn clenched the whip in his hand tightlyand held it high, with blue veins visible on the back of his hand. Theexpected pain did not fall on her. Gale opened her eyes, only to seeShawn leaving. “Hitting you will only get my hands dirty.” He threwdown the whip and ordered, “Housekeeper, execute it for me!” “Yes, Mr.Wood.” Susan was very unsatisfied that Gale was not punished, butseeing that Shawn's expression was extremely foul, she did not want topush it further. After all, she was still somewhat smart and could readthe room. “Mr. Shawn, didn’t you say you would marry me? Why isGale your wife...” she asked, pretending to be aggrieved. “She’s just apuppet.” “Huh? What does that mean?” Shawn was very impatient, butwhen he thought that Susan was the woman from that night, he triednot to lose his temper. “Marrying Gale is only temporary. I couldn't replaceyou 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 whathappened.’ She was frightened to death, and she thought she would beexposed as soon as she replaced Gale. She asked again, “You will stillkeep your promise to marry me, right?” “Well. I'll take care of everythingbefore marrying you.” “Looking forward to that day!" Susan can sit backand 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 atthe stairway and after ensuring that Shawn had gone far, he raised hiswhip and cracked it. Crack! A huge sound echoed in Temperley Hall.Shawn ate breakfast gracefully, without moving his eyebrows. Susanlistened to this sound, and her body and mind felt at ease. Gale, withme here, you won't have a moment of peace! Crack! The other workingservants trembled and went about their own work. Gale looked at thehousekeeper in surprise, “You...” With these two whips, thehousekeeper hit the ground, not her! The butler said, “Shh, don’t makea sound, lest you be found out. You are a good woman, and you arekind to us servants. I really can't do it.” “If Shawn replaces out, it's over!” “Iknow. So I will whip you with the last one.” Gale understood what hemeant 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 wasripped open. Gale looked at the housekeeper gratefully. No matter howbad the world was to her, a touch of kindness always warmed her. “Mr.Wood, the punishment is complete,” The housekeeper went downstairsand reported. He gave an indifferent nod. Gale stood by the side withher back slightly hunched because if she had stood up straight, it wouldhurt more. Fortunately, she was only hit once. One whip should notaffect her collecting recycling. Susan suddenly said tenderly, “Mr.Shawn, I have one thing...I want to ask you for help.” “Ask away.” “Iknow that the Warm family is preparing a well-known brokeragecompany, right?” Shawn nodded deeply and answered, “The Warmfamily is ready to enter the entertainment industry.” Susan said, “Then,can I ask for your help with my resume? They had been really picky. Itwould be much easier if I had your help!” “Do you want to enter theentertainment industry?” Susan nodded again and again. “Well, this ismy dream! And with you here in the future, others will not dare to bullyme!” Shawn agreed, “Yes.” This could be his compensation to her.Perhaps, Susan would soon reveal the other softer side of her, allowinghim to regain the feeling he had for her that night. Shawn gave Gale adeep glance and said, “You will continue to do errands in the company.”“Understood.” They were really from different worlds. Gale was workinghard to pick up scraps, earning a few dollars. Susan casually got intothe 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 truecolors again. “Refusing to bark, I see. It's alright. You will bark sooneror later. I will have you kneel in front of me and bark loudly.” Gale couldnot 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 todivorce Mr. Wood as soon as possible!” “It's not me who decideswhether to divorce or not.” “You just want to be his wife and arereluctant to leave.” Gale chuckled lightly and said, “If you have theability, ask Shawn to divorce me now. What's the point of coming hereto force me?” Susan said through gritted teeth, “You... you'll beg mesoon!” Her eyes were full of viciousness. Gale had no time to think ofwhat she could do. It did not matter if she offended Susan. It would befatal if she offended Shawn. Besides, she did not think Susan couldactually do anything to her. Gale still walked to the Warm Group whilepicking up scraps. Today's harvest was relatively small, but it still soldfor a couple of dollars. She had just put the money in her pocket, andwhen she turned around, she saw a familiar figure on the side of theroad, which made her feel more ashamed than seeing Shawn. Galetried to run away. “Gale, I followed you all the way.”
