Chapter 96 The housekeeper raised his index finger and put it to his
mouth, signaling her not to say anything

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 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 itis.”

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?”

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

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.”

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

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.

"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!”
