Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 10

into the Wood family, she would not have to work so hard, making short videos and trying to be an internet celebrity. She would instantly become the rich wife of a top wealthy family, having fun all day! “I thought you were just joking.” Susan began her act. “After all, if my father can send me to the old man’s bed, which other man can I trust…” She feigned tears and started to cry. The dean also acted on and feigned his misery. “Susie, I can’t do anything either. I was the happiest when I heard you escaped. I thought, no matter what, I’ll protect you!” The father-daughter duo was acting perfectly in sync. “I always do what I say.” Shawn pursed his lips. “So I’m here to pick you up. Susan, are you willing to come with me?” Susan was waiting for his words, nodding eagerly. “Yes, yes! Actually, I’ve been thinking of you too!” Shawn frowned subconsciously. How could her reaction be so different from that night… At that time, she resisted and was afraid and left without saying a word, but now she was so proactive! “Mr. Wood, you are my knight in shining armor!” Susan took his arm and said, “With you here, my father and I will no longer have to be afraid of this old man!” Shawn put away his thoughts and hummed. Now that she had been found, he wanted to keep the promise. He will marry Susan, but it will only take some time. “Let’s go.” Shawn turned around. “Well, Mr. Wood, Susie and I have a few things to say.” The dean rubbed his arms and said, “Look…” “Alright.” As soon as Shawn left, the dean held Susan’s hand excitedly. “It’s our lucky day!” “Dad, tell me everything I need to know, or I will be exposed in front of President Wood!” The dean whispered to Susan’s ear, told her everything he knew, and warned her carefully. “Understood!” Susan smiled. “Having this information is enough! Dad, I’m going to find President Wood!” She happily went to admire Shawn. Sitting on a sports car worth tens of millions, Susan could not help but take out her mobile phone and take various selfies, each of which had to be photographed with the car logo on the steering wheel. Shawn sent her to a property on the riverside, 300 square meters with a view of the most prosperous downtown of Sea City. Shawn handed her the key and said, “You live here and a servant will come tomorrow. Just tell me what you need.” Susan took the key and was so happy that she had stumbled into this. “Mr. Wood, our fate is intertwined, and I will definitely serve you well in the future!” She rushed up to hug him but was pushed away by Shawn. He was obsessed with personal space and hygiene and was not used to interacting with people. “Mr. Wood…” “It’s getting late. You should rest first.” “But, I want to sleep with you.” Susan winked, her clothes slipped from her shoulders, trying to seduce him. “Let’s relive that night…” Men usually take the bait. She had to sleep with Shawn as soon as possible to feel at ease since the woman that night was not her. Shawn furrowed his brows. If it weren’t for the time and place, he would doubt… whether Susan Fanning was the woman he was looking for. Maybe it’s been a long time since they had met, and she was too happy to be reserved. Shawn said, “It’s not the time yet. I’ll go first.” He left without hesitation. … Back at Temperley Hall. Gale had fallen asleep. She was still sleeping at the door of the master bedroom. From a distance, he could only see her long black hair. Shawn walked over and looked at her condescendingly. Gale slept soundly. She turned over lazily, and the collar of her pajamas suddenly opened a little, revealing her snow-white skin. Also, as his eyes gazed down to her chest… His throat tightened.
