Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 13

thin goose bumps appeared on her skin. “You choose to suffer?” Shawn came over and put his fingers on her wound, feeling the thin calluses. “You don’t know what is good for you?” “The upright can be killed, but not insulted.” He sneered, “Really strong-willed. You can survive this time, but what about next?” Gale replied, “Shawn, rather than abusing my body, you actually want to put my self-esteem and pride under your feet…” “That’s right! Mental torture is torture!” His fingertips sank into the freshly scabbed wound, causing Gale to shudder in pain. Shawn warned, “Don’t provoke Susan, or you will suffer her punishment at her will. Did you hear me!” “Heard it.” There was a knock at the door, “Mr. Wood, the client you asked about has arrived.” “Enter.” He grabbed his clothes and threw them on Gale’s face. “Go in and get dressed.” She hurried into the lounge. The lounge was a private place connected to the office. It was very private and had everything. Gale looked around and found the medicine box. She was overjoyed. She can use medicine without spending a dime. Outside, Shawn sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking at Sam who walked in. Sam said politely, “Mr. Wood, I’ve admired you for a long time.” “Sit.” The Warm Group has many industries, and gemstones are one of them, which brings tens of billions of profits to the Warm Group every year. The top raw materials for gemstones in the country all come from the Warm Family. Shawn wanted to expand his company to include jewelry to supply to consumers directly. Carson’s company owns a well-known jewelry brand called Fantastic Jewels, Sam took out a stack of drawings. “Mr. Wood, since you want to use your own resources to establish a jewelry brand, you must need top jewelry designers.

Once partnerships were signed and sealed, their profits would double! Sam just returned to the country to take over the Carson Group, hoping to impress and start his career with a bang, so that his father and the board of directors will recognize him. Shawn took it. The office is very quiet, only the sound of paper flipping. In the lounge, Gale, who had finished applying the medicine, picked up the medicine box and was about to put it back in place, but she slipped and the box fell. Bang! Things were scattered all over the place. Sam also heard such a loud crash. Shawn, looking indifferent, continued to look at the jewelry design. Sam could not help but ask, “Mr. Wood, what was that sound?” He replied calmly, “It’s nothing, it’s just a mouse.” Gale was stunned for two seconds, then quickly crouched down and started to clean up, creating another rustling sound. “Rats are a bit wild.” Sam coughed and said, “Mr. Wood can buy a mousetrap.” Shawn raised his eyebrows and replied, “Good idea.” Gale placed the medicine box back, covering her pounding heart. After more than ten minutes, she could not hear any sound outside. She said to herself, ‘It should be possible to go out…Just take a peek at the situation.’ Gale walked to the door lightly, slowly pushed open a crack in the door and looked out. The reception area cannot be seen from this angle. She pushed the door open a little further, stuck her head out halfway, and looked to
