Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Everyone's expression changed in an instant. “Shawn, you are simplyunfilial!” Grandfather Wood trembled with anger as he yelled, “Herfather killed your father, and you still...” Paula hurriedly comforted him,“Grandpa, calm down. Your body can’t handle this. Alas, I came to youas soon as I got the news, and I had to discuss with you what to doabout this!" “Divorce! Divorce immediately!” Paula said hypocritically,“Shawn, I really don’t want to be a drag. I mean... it's fine if you don'tnotify us of such a big event, but how can you marry the enemy'sdaughter?” How can Paula just take Shawn's punishment of threeyears without living expenses without a fight? She could not replaceanything to take Shawn down, so she sent investigators to replace outmore about Gale. Unexpectedly, this investigation revealed Gale'ssecret identity! Paula did not hesitate to tell the old man to pressureShawn. She still wanted to add fuel to the fire, but Shawn swept overwith a look. She shut up unwillingly. Shawn replied, “That's right. She isindeed Dr. Warm's daughter, but how can the fault of the previousgeneration be imposed on the next generation?” Gale gave him asurprised look. This person... was too good at lying. Obviously, he wasactually angry at her! Grandfather Wood tapped the cane heavily andyelled, “I think you are confused! Shawn, don’t forget, you have anarranged marriage arranged by your father!” “I only marry who I want tomarry.” “You...” Grandfather Wood clutched his heart and struggled tocatch his breath. Gale stood next to Shawn from beginning to end. Sheknew she had to blend into the background. It was not her turn tospeak, unless... Shawn motioned her to speak. To be honest, shecould not understand why Shawn wanted to marry her. Gale thought soin her heart and murmured involuntarily, “Why don't you marry Jenny?"As soon as the words came out, she regretted it. Isn't this courtingdeath! “Are you deaf? I just said I'm marrying someone I like.” “Oh,you... like me?” Can she understand that? After two years of torture,does he have feelings for her? Shawn pursed her lips coldly and said,“Gale, you look down on yourself too much!” “I'm afraid you will fall inlove with me.” Gale lowered her head and twisted her fingers. “It'sinevitable that two people have been together for a long time will...”Shawn raised his chin deeply and said, “Heh. Do you think I'll touchyou? Keep dreaming!” Even if all the women in the world were dead,even if she were naked and standing in front of him, he would not takea second look! Gale's head lowered. It seemed that she was tooashamed, but in fact... a slyness flashed in her eyes. Gale said that onpurpose to make Shawn not want to touch a single strand of her hair inthe future! So she would be safe. When confronting Shawn head-on,she had no choice but to outsmart him. Shawn said in a low andpowerful voice, “Grandpa, there is no need for you to worry about it.Just enjoy your retirement. I will bring the Wood family to its peak.” “Areyou saying you will not divorce her?” “Divorce is all up to me!” “Youvixen!” Seeing Shawn's resolute attitude, Grandfather Wood's angermoved toward Gale. “You killed my son, and now my grandson isseduced by you... Our Wood family must owe you in the past life!"Paula deliberately fanned the flames, “Grandpa, if you have somethingto say, just say it, don’t use violence...” “I have to Kill this fox of awoman!” Grandfather Wood held his cane and waved it toward Gale. Ifhe hit her, she would definitely be bruised for several days. A canecame down on Gale Gale blinked her eyes within a blink of an eye! Shesuddenly screamed and hid behind Shawn. “Ahh! My dear, save me!”Shawn was speechless. She can act! “My dear, I'm so scared.” Shepressed herself against his back and said pitifully, “You will be sad if Ihad gotten hurt, right?” Grandfather Wood waved his cane again andagain. “Look, there it is! That's how she seduced you!" Gale keptholding Shawn in front of her, and the old man tried several times butcould not beat her. In the end, he simply smacked Shawn's back with acane. “All you do is go for beautiful girls! How useless!” Shawn washit... Gale had not seen this coming. Her face turned pale, as if she hadlost. She's finished! Shawn gave her a cold glance. “Thanks a lot,Gale!” “I...” The phone rang suddenly. Shawn looked deeply at thecaller ID and answered, “What's the matter?” “Mr. Wood, I found thewoman who broke into your room that night!” “Where?” “Sea CityMental Hospital!” How could it be... That's where Gale stayed for thelast two years? Shawn held the phone and looked sideways at Gale.His eyes were too and fierce, and Gale tilted his head to avoid hisburning gaze. Shawn turned around and walked out, not forgetting tograb Gale's wrist. “Let's go!” There was a cracking sound from behind,mixed with Grandfather Wood's curses. Shawn jumped into the car,and Gale was about to sit in when he stepped on the gas pedal andflew away. Well... She was not deserving of riding in his car and had towalk. Her own legs were always the most reliable form of transport. TheWood family home was close to the suburbs with very little traffic. Itwas late at night, and Gale was a little flustered. However, she soondiscovered a “business opportunity’. Waste recycling. It was a high-endvilla area. The trash cans were full of empty mineral water bottles andcardboard boxes. She had an idea to collect them and take them to thejunk station. At least they could be sold for dozens of dollars! Galerolled up her sleeves and started to work. She collected trash all theway home. When she was about to arrive at Temperley Hall, she founda waste recycling shop nearby and sold it for some money. She wenthome happily and found that Shawn had not returned. Strange...wherewas he? ... The rumbling sound of the sports car cut through the nightsky, and finally stopped in the mental hospital. “Shawn!” Shawnstepped down with long legs and yelled, “Where is he?” “In the dean'soffice.” He kicked the door open and looked inside with burning eyes.There was a fat old man in his fifties kneeling on the ground, his noseand face bruised from being beaten. The dean stood in awe. A youngwoman stood beside the dean, with bright makeup, looking like acheesy, foxy Internet celebrity. Shawn said lightly, “...It's her? Are yousure?” The woman that night was soft and lovely, and she was verybeautiful without makeup, gentle, and clearly a virgin. The woman infront of him was different from what he had imagined. Could it bewrong? It seemed that...Gale’s temperament was more in line with thatwoman. The subordinate replied, “Yes, Mr. Wood. She is the dean'sdaughter, Susan Fanning.”
