Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Seeing that she had left, Summer could not bring herself to look for her, so she went to Joe.

“Ah?” Joe replied, “You want to know Gale‘s story?”

“Yes!”

“She...err, shh, keep it a secret.”

Summer replied impatiently, “I know, I know, tell me now!”

Joe said, “She is our boss‘s wife.”

Summer‘s jaw dropped.

What!?

Gale married Shawn?

Wasn‘t it good fortune to marry into a wealthy family? Why did Gale say her life was bad and unfortunate!

Joe warned, “Summer, I trust you with this. Keep your mouth shut.”

“Are they in a good relationship?”

“This... I don‘t know very well. However, the relationship between the two of them is very confusing and secretive.”

Summer asked, “How so?”

“Just observe their relationship for a few days, you will see that something is wrong.”

“Hey, Mister. Joe.” Summer looked at him with contempt. “As Mr. Wood‘s best buddy, you can’t even find out this much? You even claim to be Wood‘s blood brother!”

Joe spread his hands and said, “I know everything about Shawn, but he never mentioned a single word about this marriage.”

Gale returned to her workstation, feeling uncomfortable.

Summer was her best friend. They talked about everything. She also wanted to talk about her experience over the years.

However, it was not a good idea. It would only make Summer dislike her.

Ding... A notification popped from her phone.

Opening it, she saw that it was a message from Shawn.[ Come to my office.)

Gale resigned herself to her fate and got up.

She stood in front of his desk and said, “Mr. Wood, you asked for me?”

Shawn threw an invitation card at her. “See for yourself.”

Gale picked it up. “Charity auction?”

“Yes.”

What does this have to do with her?

She would look out of place at such a high–end party.

Did he...

“Are you bringing me there?” Gale asked tentatively.

Shawn curled his lips mockingly and said, “Do you think you are worthy?”

“No.”

“It‘s good that you know.” Shawn crossed his legs and said, “I am bringing Susan.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“...Oh.”

He said, “You will attend alone. Find a corner where I can see you, and wait.”

Gale had no idea what his intentions were, but she knew she had no right to refuse.

Gale said, “I see. It‘s just... I don‘t have suitable clothes.”

Shawn slowly leaned back on the chair and squinted at her.

“Gale, do you remember the first time we met?”

She was stunned for a while, then nodded. “Yes.”

It was etched in her bones, and she will never forget it because that was the beginning of all her nightmares.

The first time Shawn and Gale met was at Sea City University when she was called to the principal‘s office.

As soon as she opened the door innocently, she saw Shawn, full of gloom.

He was wearing a black suit and gave off an oppressive aura. She was too scared to speak.

He was obviously handsome, but beneath it lurked the soul of a devil.

“You are Dr. Warm‘s daughter?”

“Yes.”

“Your name is Gale?”

“Yes.”
