Twisted Marriage: Secret Loves (Gale and Shawn)
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet By Wen Tang Tang Chapter 96

Chapter 96 The housekeeper raised his index finger and put it to hismouth, signaling her not to say anything

If someone overheard their conversation, the housekeeper and Galewould be finished.

After the housekeeper left, Gale could not calm down for a long time.According to what the housekeeper said just now, the Wood family isthe top wealthy family in Sea City. It looks glorious, but there are manyunknown things hidden inside... For example... the fact that Paula isShawn's stepmother.

However... Gale had never heard Shawn mention his biological mother.Paula seemed to have been married for a long time, and Shawndisliked her, so he treated her badly.

Could it be that Alex Wood's death was caused by the rich andpowerful's struggle for power?

Gale's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and she felt thatsomething was about to come out.

Just then, the phone rang. Her train of thought was interrupted. Galeanswered the phone, “Hello, who is it?"

“Gale, it's me.”

Sam?

as a

Gale glanced at the phone screen. It was an unfamiliar number.

“I called you from a new number because you won't answer my call. I'malso afraid that Shawn will hurt you again after seeing it,” Sam said.“We should not be in contact anymore. I'll pay you back the moneytomorrow.” Sam replied, “It's not about money, Gale. You said beforethat Uncle Peter was innocent, and I took it to heart. I was using mycontacts to investigate the matter.”

Gale clenched her phone tightly and asked, “And you foundsomething?”

“Yes. There is some shocking news.”

She became excited and asked, “What is it? What did you replace?"

“Can we talk face—to—face? It's not safe on the phone. After all...it's abig deal,” Sam replied.

Gale agreed, “Okay, where are you?”

“I'll send the address. Here itis.”

Gale hurried out immediately.

She would not wait for another moment!

Gale took a taxi and headed straight to the destination. When the taxiturned the corner and passed the intersection, there was also a car onthe opposite road passing by.

Gale paid no notice. Her palms sweat nervously, staring at the roadahead. “Driver, drive faster.

The car drove toward Temperley Hall. The driver said hesitantly, “Mr.Wood, the taxi just now ... the person sitting in it... seems to be yourwife.” Shawn raised his head from the document. “Gale?”

“Yes.”

Shawn looked out of the car window. It was pitch black, and the vehiclewas gone.

He frowned.

Where was Gale going in the middle of the night? She was alwayshiding things from him!

In an elegant cafe, Gale met Sam.

Sweat dripped from the tip of her nose. “Tell me, what did you replace?"Sam looked at her and said, “If I say I lied to you, I just want to seeyou..." “Sam, are you kidding me?” He sighed and said, “Okay, I'm justjoking. I wonder if you would come to see me if it was just me.” “No,because we are competitors,” Gale said very eloquently, trying to breakSam's hopes. Otherwise, Shawn will definitely attack him! Sam smiledand said, “You're really heartless. Let's get down to business. I carefullyreviewed the whole process of that year. If Peter did things right, thenthe problem should be with the medicine.”

"Medicine?"

“Yes, if someone manipulated and replaced it, it would lead to AlexWood's death.”

Gale felt terrible.

She clenched her palms tightly. “So, who could it be?"

Sam replied, “I don't know. These are just my guesses without anysubstantive evidence. The police have investigated this matter. Finally,convicting Peter is enough to show that the hand behind thescenes...did it flawlessly and hidden from everyone's eyes.” “So it'simpossible to replace evidence, is it?” What should we do? The small hopein her was diminishing.

Gale's heart kept sinking. Sam's eyes were firm. “No. There is noimpermeable wall in the world. As long as they did it, you will definitelyleave clues!” Gale said, “But... even Shawn couldn't replace out. Can wereplace it? If he knew the truth, he would not have attacked our family longago.”

“The person who died was his father, and he couldn't maintain hissanity, so he let people look into it instead of doing it personally.”

Gale slowly calmed down.

She was so impatient. This matter was huge. How could it be so easyto replace the truth?

Sam looked at her and continued, “Gale, you've been by Shawn's sidefor so long, you know more about the Wood family than I do, so...youmake a bold guess, who do you think it is?"

Her mind turned quickly.

“If Alex Wood is dead, who will benefit the most from this incident? Whowants him to die the most? Who had the opportunity to change themedicine at the moment of rescue?”

Under Sam's step-by-step guidance, a name emerged clearly “Speakit out.” Sam looked at her.

Paula.”

"Shawn's stepmother?” Gale nodded. “I am most suspicious of her.”She has been to the Wood Family home.

The old man wanted to carry on the lineage and continue WoodGroup's interests in the future. Besides, the old man loved his son.

No father could do it to his child. In addition, Paula was the only one inthe old family home. She was always pouncing and looking for trouble.“It's just...” Gale thought for a while before continuing, “She wouldn't besmart enough to pull this off on her own? Why did she kill herhusband?” Sam replied, “Paula has a son. Have you seen him?” Galeshook her head. “I haven't even heard of it. No one mentioned it.”“That's Shawn's half-brother, who is studying abroad now. He....."Before Sam finished speaking, he suddenly looked behind Gale, andhis expression changed.

Gale looked back in confusion.

She saw Shawn push open the glass door and strode over. There wasa smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was bloodthirsty and cruel.“Shawn..” Gale stood up slowly. “Why are you here?” He grabbed herhand and pulled her hard. “Gale, you dare to meet your lover behindmy back! Do you think I'm dead!” “I have something very important totalk to him about.” Shawn did not care to ask before crushing herbones. “What can be so important that you can

ignore everything I have said!”

Gale was unable to explain. It was because... it was impossible for heractually to reveal the purpose of her meeting with Sam.

Therefore, she could only keep silent. This angered Shawn even more.“Speak!”
