Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 7

There was no way out of the situation. Gale looked sideways and saw Paula 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 to Temperley Hall to

deliver some soup to him, I saw her. I can’t be wrong!” 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’s actually 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 recounted what happened and added, “Shawn didn’t help

her at all!” It was not looking good for Gale. She remained calm and shrugged Jenny’s hand off. “You

have mistaken me.” Jenny said, “Impossible! It’s you! You were the lowly cleaner who cleaned my

shoes!” “Ms. Jenny, go to the hospital to see an ophthalmologist when you have time.” Gale wanted to

leave, but Paula stopped her. “Okay, Jenny is sorry for what she has done, but I’m your mother-in-law.

Why haven’t you greeted me when you saw me?” “Paula, I didn’t recognize…” Paula gave her a

pointed look. This was not her first rodeo. Paula started to piece it together in her head and understood

what was going on. So… it turned out that Mrs. Wood was not favored at all! Otherwise, how could she

polish Jenny’s shoes? Since Paula married into the Wood family, Shawn had not liked her and found all

excuses to go against her. So, Shawn was putting 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 still have something to

do, so I can’t accompany you, Paula.” “What did you call me?” Gale replied, “Well… my husband calls

you that too.” Shawn had made her slap herself because she apologized to Paula… She had not

forgotten it. It was evident that Shawn hated this stepmother very much. Paula said meanly, “How dare

you say that? How stupid do you think you are?” “That’s right. You are not allowed to call Shawn your

husband!” 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, she would make an effort to make herself look untouchable so

that others would not dare to bully her. She could implement what she’s practiced with Jenny and Paula

and her years of practice told her that this would work. Gale walked out without looking back.

Unexpectedly, Paula actually 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!” She shouted to passersby, “Help! Help me!”

Paula smiled and said, “This is my daughter-in-law. She quarreled with my son and ran away. I was

about to take her home…” The passersby saw what was happening and looked the other way. Gale

could not match their strength, so she was dragged into the car. Paula pinched her hard, “Hey,

arrogant. I have to teach you a lesson today!” Gale said, “How dare you! If Shawn found out, he

wouldn’t let you go!” Jenny replied proudly, “You think Shawn will… offend Paula’s family for you, a

cleaner?” “Yes!” The car whizzed 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 suddenly remembered 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 specifically instruct her to do so, she will not target Gale and let her rest.

Shawn waved his hand deeply. “No need.” Why was he looking for her? It seemed that he missed her!

No, he was looking for her to torture her! “Yes, President Wood,” Fiona said but secretly went to look

for Gale quickly. After all, if President Wood loses his temper, the entire company will tremble. Fiona

searched everywhere but could not find her. After checking the surveillance, she saw that Gale had left

the company three hours ago. She gulped, bit the bullet, and reported to Shawn, “Mr. Wood… she…”

“Hm?” “She’s gone.” Missing again? Shawn ate lunch calmly. “She wouldn’t dare to run.” Unless she

really wanted her legs broken, unless she really wanted her parents to die. “But, your wife has been out

of contact for three hours.” Shawn held the spoon in his hand. What tricks was she playing? Shawn

wanted to find Gale, and it was easy. Not long after, he received an email containing a photo of Gale

with Paula and Jenny holding her arms. The corners of his 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. As soon as the car door opened, Gale

fell out in embarrassment, with her hands tied behind her. “Hahahaha, you look just like a dog,” Jenny

looked at her triumphantly and said, “Tell me, should I scratch your left cheek first or your right cheek?”

Gale looked at the slender and sharp knife. “Jenny, you have the support of the Timothy family, and you

understand that Shawn doesn’t care about me… But have you ever thought that I belong to Shawn,

and he hates his things being destroyed!” Shawn’s desire to possess and control was well-known in

Sea City. What he hated, he wanted to destroy it himself! What he liked, whoever dared look at it, was

a crime! Jenny hesitated for a moment. “Oh, don’t be frightened by her.” Paula kept stirring the pot and

said, “When she’s disfigured, Shawn will lose his appetite when he sees her and toss her away. Your

chance will come!” Jenny nodded and said, “Yes. Only I can marry him. I won’t let other women go!”

Gale suddenly burst out laughing. “You…what are you laughing at!” Gale replied, “Laughing at you,

stupid! You are being used by Paula. She’s getting you to do all her 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

save herself was to provoke the two of them and delay time. Shawn had a strong desire to control her.

He should have discovered that she was gone! She had to wait until the moment he came!
