Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 8

“Yeah, Paula, we should do it together. Don’t just stand aside and watch,” Jenny said. “Jenny, I’m

already old…” Gale immediately interrupted, “Look, Paula doesn’t want to do anything!” As she spoke,

she secretly tried to break free of the rope. Jenny also felt that Gale had a point. She handed the knife

to Paula and said, “So…you cut the left side, I’ll cut the right side.” Paula agreed, “Okay. You make the

first cat, and I will hold her down!” “Alright.” The two hit it off. Gale’s wrists were all red with no luck from

breaking loose. Paula came over and grabbed her head. “Stay still and it will hurt less. Jenny, come

on!” “This face is really fair and tender. No wonder you can seduce Shawn… I have to make a mess of

it today!” Jenny approached with a grin. The knife got closer and closer and finally stuck to Gale’s

cheek. “As long as I exert force, your beauty will be gone…” Gale swallowed nervously, “You are really

not afraid of Shawn!” “He won’t touch me with the Timothy family here.” With that said, Jenny was

about to make her first cut. At this critical moment, a deep and dignified familiar male voice came from

afar. “Stop!” That voice… Gale was overjoyed and shouted with all her strength, “Shawn, save me!”

The sound of rubber burning around the ground rang out. Before the car stopped, Shawn had already

jumped off. He walked fast, the hem of his suit was raised high, and his eyes were full of anger.

“Timothy family? What do you think they are?” Shawn raised his thin lips and threatened, “Tomorrow, I

can make the entire Timothy family disappear from Sea City!” “Shawn… ah!” Shawn kicked Jenny

away without even looking at her. He went straight to Gale and picked her up. “Are you hurt?” She

shook her head. “No, almost, but I was not.” Shawn asked, “What are you running around for? You

can’t find a spot to sit in the entire Wood Group?” “I…” She kept quiet, not wanting to tell him she was

looking for a job and bumped into Paula and Jenny. “Shawn, why are you here?” Paula smiled and

said, “I’m playing with my daughter-in-law.” Shawn raised his brows and replied, “Play?” “Yeah.” He

picked up the knife from the ground and threw it at Paula’s feet. “Let’s play with your face next.”

“What…” “Cut it!” “Shawn!” Jenny stomped her feet and said, “Why are you defending this woman!”

“Because she’s my wife!” Shawn’s eyes were colder than a knife’s. “If I don’t protect her, who do you

expect me to protect? Do you expect me to protect you instead?” Jenny looked at Gale with jealousy.

Gale could not express how she really felt on the inside. The reason why Shawn was so angry was

that… the only person who could bully and humiliate her was him. No matter how much he hated her

and wanted to torture her, he won’t let others do it. He had to do it himself. Shawn sounded like he

really cared about her, but she knew it was not true. Just as she was deep in thought, Shawn picked

her up in his arms. Gale exclaimed and hooked her arms around his neck subconsciously. Realizing

that this gesture was too intimate, she quickly let go. Shawn said coldly with an indifferent expression,

“You should be glad she wasn’t injured. Jenny, I’ll punish you on behalf of your family! Go back home

and think about what you have done for a month! You are grounded!” “Paula!” He said to Paula, “Don’t

even think about getting a cent of your living expenses this year!” For Paula, this was the most painful

punishment. After she married Shawn’s father, she lived a luxurious life. Even if Shawn’s father died,

she could receive an exorbitant living expense from the family fund every month. Shawn cut off her one

year’s funding all of a sudden. She was so used to spending money. How can she survive? “No, that’s

the money your dad gave me.” “Two years!” “Shawn, y…you…” “Three years!” Shawn always kept to

his word. Paula and Jenny’s life was in ruins. After returning to Temperley Hall, the housekeeper saw

Gale’s disheveled appearance and asked, “Ms. Gale, you are…” “It’s nothing. It looks bad, but I’m not

hurt.” Shawn sat on the sofa and tugged his tie. “You’re not hurt? What’s about the palm of your hand?”

Gale was taken aback. It turned out that he had discovered it long ago. “Apart from causing me trouble,

what else can you do?” Shawn looked at her with deep eyes. “I punish Paula and Jenny for you. Are

you proud?” She quickly waved her hand. “N…No.” He sneered and said, “Gale, no one can touch your

face. If it is to be scratched… it will only be done by me in person!” Shawn looked at the fruit knife on

the coffee table. Gale shivered a little late. “What are you waiting for? You can’t read the room?” She

had to hand him the fruit knife with both hands and defended in a low voice, “I… did nothing wrong

today.” “It’s your fault for running around.” Gale bit her lower lip and lowered her gaze. Shawn is her

god, and she can only obey his orders. He traced the cold blade on Gale’s cheek. “Gale, look, once

you leave me, there are so many people who mess with you.” Shawn gently patted her face with the tip

of a knife. “I’m the only one who can torture you.” She closed her eyes tightly, not knowing when

Shawn… would raise the knife in his hand. Probably because she had been oppressed for too long,

Gale actually refuted him, “Anyone who bullies me, I can resist, I can fight back. However, I can’t resist

you!” “Because this is what you owe me!” ‘No, I never owed you, nor did my family owe you!’ Gale cried

silently in her heart. The knife pressed down little by little, and with a little more force, it could cut

through the skin. Ring! The landline next to her suddenly rang rapidly. Shawn picked up the receiver

and answered, “Hello, Grandpa.” Grandfather Wood shouted loudly, “Come over immediately! Now!”

“What’s up?” “Also, bring your newlywed wife!” The old man hung up the phone. Shawn looked at Gale.

It was amusing that she was clearly panicked yet was trying her best to remain calm. “You’re lucky.”

Shawn raised her chin with the tip of the knife. “I’ll leave this face untouched for now, lest you scare my

grandfather with blood.” Grandfather? “Pack up and follow me.” Shawn crossed his legs. “I will give you

five minutes.” Gale staggered up the stairs, changed her clothes and tied her hair as fast as she could.

The old house of the Wood family. Compared with the luxurious castle style of Temperley Hall, the old

house had a calm and atmospheric courtyard with a view of mountains and rivers. As soon as she

entered the living room, Paula pointed at Gale and screamed, “Yes, Grandfather Wood, she is here!

She is Dr. Peter’s daughter! Shawn actually married her!”
