Her footsteps stopped slowly, but she still dared not turn to face that
person. Sam Carson walked behind her and said, “I saw you at the
time, but I wasn't sure if it was you. However, it's really you, Gale.” She
was picking up trash. Moreover, her movements are proficient, like it
was not her first time. Sam asked, “Gale...how did you fall to such a
level? What have you been through all these years?” She used to be so
bright, radiant and polite. She was his dream girl. Now, she has a layer
of fatigue and vicissitudes on her body. “You recognized the wrong
person.” Gale lowered her head. “No, it's you, I recognize you even if
you turn to ashes!” She laughed mockingly and turned around abruptly.
“Yes, I'm Gale, your former fiancee! But now, we have nothing to do
with each other, please continue to walk on your sunny path, and I will
walk on my own!” Once, Sam and Gale had a marriage contract.
However, after everything that had happened to the Warm family, the
Carson family immediately unilaterally destroyed the marriage contract.
In order to cut all ties between them, they quickly sent Sam abroad.
That was the most difficult period in Gale's life. She was going back
and forth to the prisons, hospitals, and police stations. She needed
someone to help her. That person should have been Sam. However,
she could not get through to his phone and could not find him. The door
of Sam's family home was closed tightly, and the security guard chased
her away... everyone closed themselves off from her. “No, Gale, listen
to my explanation.” Sam stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders.
“It was my father’s decision to send me abroad. He asked me to
experience it before I marry you. He wanted me to build a successful
career so I can give you a good life. To be the best husband I can be, I
agreed to go abroad!” “Could you not answer the phone when you go
abroad? It's like you disappeared from the world. You don't even have
time to talk to me?” “The situation at that time...” Gale interrupted him,
“Enough, I don’t want to hear it anymore. It's all over.” She was utterly
disappointed with Sam long ago. Gale waved his hand away and
turned to leave. “Hey!” She yelled, “Don’t follow me! The last person I
want to see right now is you!” Sam stood there in a daze, watching her
disappear from his sight. “Mr. Carson, it's almost time for your
appointment with Mr. Wood,” the assistant reminded beside him. “Okay.
Go and find out for me what Gale has experienced in the past two
years.” “Yes, Mr. Carson.” When Gale arrived at the Warm Group late,
she heard Fiona say, “Mrs. Gale, you finally showed up, and Mr. Wood
is looking for you!” “I'll go in right away.” In the president's office, Shawn
leaned back lazily on the back of the chair and kept looking at her. Gale
felt uncomfortable by his gaze. “Is something wrong...” “Undress.” She
was startled and said, “Wait... what?" “Do you want me to repeat
myself? Or, do I take it off myself?” Not sure what he was going to do,
Gale bit her lip, unbuttoned her clothes, and slowly took off her shirt.
“Turn around.” She did so. On her soft, tender back, a long scar snaked
from her shoulders to her waist, looking rather frightening. Gale
trembled involuntarily, and 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. This is the best-selling jewelry style of Fantastic Jewels
every year. Please take a look at it.” He wanted to cooperate with
Shawn. He would create designs and brand influence, while Shawn
provides resources, traffic and raw materials. Everyone wanted to
cooperate with the Wood Group. 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 the right. There was no one there. She looked to the left... A
black suit came into view. Gale slowly raised her head and saw Shawn
looking down at her with a smirk. “What are you looking at?"
