Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 96

Chapter 96 The housekeeper raised his index finger and put it to his mouth, signaling her not to say anything Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

If someone overheard their conversation, the housekeeper and Gale would be finished.

After the housekeeper left, Gale could not calm down for a long time.

According to what the housekeeper said just now, the Wood family is the top wealthy family in Sea City. It looks glorious, but there are many unknown things hidden inside... For example... the fact that Paula is Shawn‘s stepmother.

However... Gale had never heard Shawn mention his biological mother.

Paula seemed to have been married for a long time, and Shawn disliked her, so he treated her badly.

Could it be that Alex Wood‘s death was caused by the rich and powerful‘s struggle for power?

Gale‘s thoughts became clearer and clearer, and she felt that something was about to come out.

Just then, the phone rang. Her train of thought was interrupted. Gale answered the phone, “Hello, who is it?”

“Gale, it‘s me.”

Sam?

as a

Gale glanced at the phone screen. It was an unfamiliar number.

“I called you from a new number because you won‘t answer my call. I‘m also afraid that Shawn will hurt you again after seeing it,” Sam said. “We should not be in contact anymore. I‘ll pay you back the money tomorrow.” Sam replied, “It‘s not about money, Gale. You said before that Uncle Peter was innocent, and I took it to heart. I was using my contacts to investigate the matter.”

Gale clenched her phone tightly and asked, “And you found something?”

“Yes. There is some shocking news.”

She became excited and asked, “What is it? What did you find?”

“Can we talk face–to–face? It‘s not safe on the phone. After all...it‘s a big deal,” Sam replied.

Gale agreed, “Okay, where are you?”

“I’ll send the address. Here it is.”

Gale hurried out immediately.

She would not wait for another moment!

Gale took a taxi and headed straight to the destination. When the taxi turned the corner and passed the intersection, there was also a car on the opposite road passing by.

Gale paid no notice. Her palms sweat nervously, staring at the road ahead. “Driver, drive faster.

The car drove toward Temperley Hall. The driver said hesitantly, “Mr. Wood, the taxi just now ... the person sitting in it… seems to be your wife.” Shawn raised his head from the document. “Gale?”

“Yes.”

Shawn looked out of the car window. It was pitch black, and the vehicle was gone.

He frowned.

Where was Gale going in the middle of the night? She was always hiding things from him!

In an elegant cafe, Gale met Sam.

Sweat dripped from the tip of her nose. “Tell me, what did you find?”

Sam looked at her and said, “If I say I lied to you, I just want to see you...” “Sam, are you kidding me?” He sighed and said, “Okay, I‘m just joking. I wonder if you would come to see me if it was just me.” “No, because we are competitors,” Gale said very eloquently, trying to break Sam‘s hopes. Otherwise, Shawn will definitely attack him! Sam smiled and said, “You‘re really heartless. Let‘s get down to business. I carefully reviewed the whole process of that year. If Peter did things right, then the problem should be with the medicine.”

“Medicine?”

“Yes, if someone manipulated and replaced it, it would lead to Alex Wood‘s death.”

Gale felt terrible.

She clenched her palms tightly. “So, who could it be?”

Sam replied, “I don‘t know. These are just my guesses without any substantive evidence. The police have investigated this matter. Finally, convicting Peter is enough to show that the hand behind the scenes...did it flawlessly and hidden from everyone‘s eyes.” “So it‘s impossible to find evidence, is it?” What should we do? The small hope in her was diminishing.

Gale‘s heart kept sinking. Sam’s eyes were firm. “No. There is no impermeable wall in the world. As long as they did it, you will definitely leave clues!” Gale said, “But... even Shawn couldn‘t find out. Can we find it? If he knew the truth, he would not have attacked our family long ago.”

“The person who died was his father, and he couldn’t maintain his sanity, so he let people look into it instead of doing it personally.”

Gale slowly calmed down.

She was so impatient. This matter was huge. How could it be so easy to find the truth?

Sam looked at her and continued, “Gale, you’ve been by Shawn’s side for so long, you know more about the Wood family than I do, so…you make a bold guess, who do you think it is?”

Her mind turned quickly.

“If Alex Wood is dead, who will benefit the most from this incident? Who wants him to die the most? Who had the opportunity to change the medicine at the moment of rescue?”

Under Sam‘s step–by–step guidance, a name emerged clearly “Speak it out.” Sam looked at her.

”

Paula.”

“Shawn‘s stepmother?” Gale nodded. “I am most suspicious of her.”

She has been to the Wood Family home.

The old man wanted to carry on the lineage and continue Wood Group‘s interests in the future. Besides, the old man loved his son.

No father could do it to his child. In addition, Paula was the only one in the old family home. She was always pouncing and looking for trouble. “It‘s just...” Gale thought for a while before continuing, “She wouldn‘t be smart enough to pull this off on her own? Why did she kill her husband?” Sam replied,

“Paula has a son. Have you seen him?” Gale shook her head. “I haven‘t even heard of it. No one mentioned it.” “That‘s Shawn‘s half–brother, who is studying abroad now. He.....” Before Sam finished speaking, he suddenly looked behind Gale, and his expression changed.

Gale looked back in confusion.

She saw Shawn push open the glass door and strode over. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was bloodthirsty and cruel. “Shawn..” Gale stood up slowly. “Why are you here?” He grabbed her hand and pulled her hard. “Gale, you dare to meet your lover behind my back! Do you think I‘m dead!” “I have something very important to talk to him about.” Shawn did not care to ask before crushing her bones. “What can be so important that you can

ignore everything I have said!”

Gale was unable to explain. It was because… it was impossible for her actually to reveal the purpose of her meeting with Sam.

Therefore, she could only keep silent. This angered Shawn even more. “Speak!”
