Twisted Marriage: Secret Loves (Gale and Shawn)
Chapter 7

Chapter 7

There was no way out of the situation. Gale looked sideways and sawPaula and Jenny sitting by the window, looking and gasping in unison.She went out immediately as it was not a good idea to stay any longer.However, Jenny had no intentions of letting her go so easily! “Cleaner,wait a minute.” Jenny stepped forward and forcibly pulled her to Paula.“Aunt Paula, what did you call her just now?” “Mrs. Wood!” “What!? S...She is Shawn's new wife?” Paula nodded. "Yes. When I went toTemperley Hall to deliver some soup to him, I saw her. I can't bewrong!” At that time, Shawn had defended her, embarrassing Paula.Paula was narrow-minded and vowed to take revenge one day.“Ahhh!!” Jenny screamed in anger, it could shatter windows. “She'sactually that vixen!” “But... Jenny, why did you call her a cleaner?”“Because when I saw her, she was cleaning the floor in the office!”Paula could not believe it and questioned, “Really?” Jenny recountedwhat happened and added, “Shawn didn’t help her at all!” It was notlooking good for Gale. She remained calm and shrugged Jenny's handoff. “You have mistaken me.” Jenny said, “Impossible! It's you! Youwere the lowly cleaner who cleaned my shoes!” “Ms. Jenny, go to thehospital to see an ophthalmologist when you have time.” Gale wantedto leave, but Paula stopped her. “Okay, Jenny is sorry for what she hasdone, but I'm your mother-in-law. Why haven't you greeted me whenyou saw me?” “Paula, I didn't recognize...” Paula gave her a pointedlook. This was not her first rodeo. Paula started to piece it together inher head and understood what was going on. So... it turned out thatMrs. Wood was not favored at all! Otherwise, how could she polishJenny's shoes? Since Paula married into the Wood family, Shawn hadnot liked her and found all excuses to go against her. So, Shawn wasputting on a show for her! Paula dragged Gale to sit beside her, “Well,since you're here, ugly daughter-in-law has to greet her in-laws.” “I stillhave something to do, so I can't accompany you, Paula.” “What did youcall me?” Gale replied, “Well... my husband calls you that too.” Shawnhad made her slap herself because she apologized to Paula... She hadnot forgotten it. It was evident that Shawn hated this stepmother verymuch. Paula said meanly, “How dare you say that? How stupid do youthink you are?” “That's right. You are not allowed to call Shawn yourhusband!” Gale's face turned cold. “Look, I'll say it again, I'm leaving.Otherwise, I'll call the police.” When she was in the mental hospital, shewould make an effort to make herself look untouchable so that otherswould not dare to bully her. She could implement what she’s practicedwith Jenny and Paula and her years of practice told her that this wouldwork. Gale walked out without looking back. Unexpectedly, Paulaactually chased after her as soon as she walked out of the restaurant.They grabbed Gale's arms and dragged her to the car. “Let go!” Sheshouted to passersby, “Help! Help me!” Paula smiled and said, “This ismy daughter-in-law. She quarreled with my son and ran away. I wasabout to take her home...” The passersby saw what was happeningand looked the other way. Gale could not match their strength, so shewas dragged into the car. Paula pinched her hard, “Hey, arrogant. Ihave to teach you a lesson today!” Gale said, “How dare you! If Shawnfound out, he wouldn't let you go!" Jenny replied proudly, “You thinkShawn will... offend Paula's family for you, a cleaner?” “Yes!” The carwhizzed away. ... In the Wood Group Headquarters'’s conference room,Shawn raised his wrist and glanced at the time after the meeting. “Mr.Wood, lunch is ready,” Fiona said. He nodded and suddenlyremembered something. “What about her?” “Er... I'll contact her now.”Fiona was famous for being kind-hearted in the company. Besides,Gale is still Mr. Wood's wife. As long as Mr. Shawn does not specificallyinstruct her to do so, she will not target Gale and let her rest. Shawnwaved his hand deeply. “No need.” Why was he looking for her? Itseemed that he missed her! No, he was looking for her to torture her!“Yes, President Wood,” Fiona said but secretly went to look for Galequickly. After all, if President Wood loses his temper, the entirecompany will tremble. Fiona searched everywhere but could not replaceher. After checking the surveillance, she saw that Gale had left thecompany three hours ago. She gulped, bit the bullet, and reported toShawn, “Mr. Wood... she...” “Hm?” “She's gone.” Missing again?Shawn ate lunch calmly. “She wouldn't dare to run.” Unless she reallywanted her legs broken, unless she really wanted her parents to die.“But, your wife has been out of contact for three hours.” Shawn held thespoon in his hand. What tricks was she playing? Shawn wanted to replaceGale, and it was easy. Not long after, he received an email containing aphoto of Gale with Paula and Jenny holding her arms. The corners ofhis mouth twitched slightly. It seemed that they wanted to play with fire.Shawn took a sip of water slowly and ordered, “Prepare the car.” “Yes,Mr. Wood.” ... The Timothy family had a holiday villa in the suburbs. Assoon as the car door opened, Gale fell out in embarrassment, with herhands tied behind her. “Hahahaha, you look just like a dog,” Jennylooked at her triumphantly and said, “Tell me, should I scratch your leftcheek first or your right cheek?” Gale looked at the slender and knife.“Jenny, you have the support of the Timothy family, and you understandthat Shawn doesn't care about me... But have you ever thought that Ibelong to Shawn, and he hates his things being destroyed!” Shawn'sdesire to possess and control was well-known in Sea City. What hehated, he wanted to destroy it himself! What he liked, whoever daredlook at it, was a crime! Jenny hesitated for a moment. “Oh, don’t befrightened by her.” Paula kept stirring the pot and said, “When she’sdisfigured, Shawn will lose his appetite when he sees her and toss heraway. Your chance will come!” Jenny nodded and said, “Yes. Only I canmarry him. I won't let other women go!” Gale suddenly burst outlaughing. “You...what are you laughing at!” Gale replied, “Laughing atyou, stupid! You are being used by Paula. She's getting you to do allher dirty work so she doesn’t have to get her hands dirty. Stay out of it!"Paula cursed, “Shut up!” “Did I get it spot on!” Gale's only way to saveherself was to provoke the two of them and delay time. Shawn had astrong desire to control her. He should have discovered that she wasgone! She had to wait until the moment he came!
