Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 26

Gale‘s eyes turned red.

“Are you so short of money?” Shawn stared at her deeply and said, “You‘re so in need that you would pick up trash and ignore your dignity?”

“Yes! I want money! What is dignity? I no longer have it from the moment you threw me into the mental hospital! I have to put in a lot more effort just to live!”

“You are the high and mighty President Wood, worth hundreds of billions. Of course, you can‘t do this kind of thing. However, I‘m just an ordinary person. I have literally done everything you ask me to do. Why is it not okay that I earn some money for my bus fare!” “I know you’ll find out sooner or later, but I‘m more afraid of the days without money than of your anger!”

Gale quickly wiped the corners of his eyes, squatted on the ground, and picked up the bottles again.

“Don‘t pick it up!”

She ignored him

“Gale, I told you not to pick it up!” Shawn picked her up.

“Let me go!”

Shawn kicked away the bottles in the way and threw Gale into the car.

Fiona‘s face was full of fear. “President Wood, Ma‘am…”

“Get off!”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Pick up all her bottles!”

Fiona said, “Okay, President Wood.”

The boss quarreled, and yet the assistant suffered.

‘It‘s okay to be kicked out of the car in the middle of the night, but I have to pick up the trash.’

Shawn sat in the car, drove by himself, and suddenly stepped on the accelerator.

Gale‘s head almost hit the windshield.

She hurried to fasten her seat belt.

She cannot die.

She has parents.

Even more so now, she has a child!

“Slow down... ah!” Gale dared not open her eyes.

Shawn held the steering wheel without saying a word, kept overtaking other cars and drove abruptly, like a race car.

Gale was constantly being thrown around by inertia.

It was not until they arrived at Temperley Hall that Shawn stepped on the brakes. The car still rushed forward after he hit the brakes. The tires rubbed the ground and made a harsh sound, and were about to hit the steps.

“What!”

He leaned forward suddenly and slammed back onto the seat.

The vehicle stopped less than five centimeters from the steps.

Gale broke out in cold sweat.

She jumped out of the car with weak legs, ran aside, and started retching

Shawn looked at her coldly and said, “Squeamish.” “I... I have motion sickness!” “It‘s not the first time you‘ve vomited.” He narrowed his eyes. “What‘s the matter?” Gale was fearful that he would suspect it was morning sickness.

So she hurriedly said, “That soup is greasy. I‘m not used to it! I ate badly in the mental hospital, which caused a bad stomach!”

Shawn thought of Paula‘s soup and was annoyed. “Don‘t drink it in the future!”

Gale looked at him, “What you said!”

“Yes I said it!”

She had often vomited because of the soup. Shawn was deeply worried...

Her body was weak.

He wanted to punish Gale by his own hands and not by a bowl of soup!

Shawn warned, “Also, don‘t pick up trash in the future! If I find out...”

“You think I really want to pick up trash?”

Shawn said, “Aren‘t you doing it to earn money for the fare? From tomorrow, come to work with me. Is it enough?”

Gale was stunned for a while as it would be better to walk.

At least she would feel free and did not need to look at his face.

However, Shawn pressed, “Stop reading too much into it. If you are recognized by others, I will lose my dignity!”
