Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 10

“How did you find out what happened?” The subordinate replied, “Mr. Wood, this is what happened.

This old man took a fancy to Ms. Fanning at the dinner party, and he insisted that she sleep with him

one night. Otherwise, the dean would be unable to leave. The dean was forced to send Ms. Fanning

his way. Ms. Fanning would rather die than go through that. She escaped and inadvertently broke into

your room while she was being chased.” Shawn narrowed his eyes slightly and walked in. At this

moment, the old man on the ground shouted, “Who are you? You dare to tie me up. Do you know who I

am!” “Oh?” Shawn raised his eyebrows deeply and asked, “Who are you?” “Do you know the Wood

family? The number one wealthy family in Sea City!” “Heard of them.” The old man was triumphant and

said, “I’m one of the cousins of the Wood family, so be afraid! Let me go!” “Is that so…” Shawn’s leather

shoes kicked him casually. “I’m the President of Wood Group and the head of the Wood family. Why

haven’t I heard of you?” The old man’s eyes widened, looking at him in disbelief. “How dare you bring

down the Wood family’s name by showing off your power!” As he spoke, Shawn pressed his feet hard

and kicked the man hard till he flew and hit the wall. The old man spat a mouthful of blood as he fell.

He retracted his feet gracefully and slowly asked, “Your name is Susan?” “Yes, yes.” Susan was

shocked and admired his powerful aura. “Mr. Wood, are you looking for me?” He was such a catch!

She must find a way not to let this opportunity go! Shawn nodded lightly and said, “Well. After that

night, I’ve been looking for you.” Susan’s expression was dazed for a moment. How could such a rich

and powerful man look for her? She has never seen him in real life. She had only seen the heroic

appearance of President Wood in the news and newspapers! Shawn asked after noticing Susan’s

blank expression, “Don’t you remember?” “Yes, she does remember!” Before Susan could answer, the

dean next to her immediately answered, “Mr. Wood, my daughter is just too excited. I didn’t expect you

to come to her!” Susan tugged his sleeve. “Dad. This…” The dean said loudly, “Oh, don’t hide it. I know

that you ran away that night and was robbed of your innocence by another strange man. I just never

brought it up. However, Mr. Wood is here to pick you up!” A smart person like the dean had already

guessed what had happened! He knew who he sent was not his daughter Susan but Gale Warm! Gale

ran away from the old man, but when she came back the next day, there were bruises on her neck.

Given what had happened…The dean pieced it together, and he knew that Gale Warm had slept with

President Wood! Susan was also clever. Seeing her father’s constant winking, she immediately

cooperated, “Yes, it’s too embarrassing for a girl… That’s why I left without saying goodbye.” “I said I

would marry you.” Susan’s eyes lit up as being able to stay by Shawn’s side was a great blessing to

her. Marry her? This was simply a blessing from the heavens! If she could marry into the Wood family,

she would not have to work so hard, making short videos and trying to be an internet celebrity. She

would instantly become the rich wife of a top wealthy family, having fun all day! “I thought you were just

joking.” Susan began her act. “After all, if my father can send me to the old man’s bed, which other man

can I trust…” She feigned tears and started to cry. The dean also acted on and feigned his misery.

“Susie, I can’t do anything either. I was the happiest when I heard you escaped. I thought, no matter

what, I’ll protect you!” The father-daughter duo was acting perfectly in sync. “I always do what I say.”

Shawn pursed his lips. “So I’m here to pick you up. Susan, are you willing to come with me?” Susan

was waiting for his words, nodding eagerly. “Yes, yes! Actually, I’ve been thinking of you too!” Shawn

frowned subconsciously. How could her reaction be so different from that night… At that time, she

resisted and was afraid and left without saying a word, but now she was so proactive! “Mr. Wood, you

are my knight in shining armor!” Susan took his arm and said, “With you here, my father and I will no

longer have to be afraid of this old man!” Shawn put away his thoughts and hummed. Now that she had

been found, he wanted to keep the promise. He will marry Susan, but it will only take some time. “Let’s

go.” Shawn turned around. “Well, Mr. Wood, Susie and I have a few things to say.” The dean rubbed

his arms and said, “Look…” “Alright.” As soon as Shawn left, the dean held Susan’s hand excitedly. “It’s

our lucky day!” “Dad, tell me everything I need to know, or I will be exposed in front of President Wood!”

The dean whispered to Susan’s ear, told her everything he knew, and warned her carefully.

“Understood!” Susan smiled. “Having this information is enough! Dad, I’m going to find President

Wood!” She happily went to admire Shawn. Sitting on a sports car worth tens of millions, Susan could

not help but take out her mobile phone and take various selfies, each of which had to be photographed

with the car logo on the steering wheel. Shawn sent her to a property on the riverside, 300 square

meters with a view of the most prosperous downtown of Sea City. Shawn handed her the key and said,

“You live here and a servant will come tomorrow. Just tell me what you need.” Susan took the key and

was so happy that she had stumbled into this. “Mr. Wood, our fate is intertwined, and I will definitely

serve you well in the future!” She rushed up to hug him but was pushed away by Shawn. He was

obsessed with personal space and hygiene and was not used to interacting with people. “Mr. Wood…”

“It’s getting late. You should rest first.” “But, I want to sleep with you.” Susan winked, her clothes

slipped from her shoulders, trying to seduce him. “Let’s relive that night…” Men usually take the bait.

She had to sleep with Shawn as soon as possible to feel at ease since the woman that night was not

her. Shawn furrowed his brows. If it weren’t for the time and place, he would doubt… whether Susan

Fanning was the woman he was looking for. Maybe it’s been a long time since they had met, and she

was too happy to be reserved. Shawn said, “It’s not the time yet. I’ll go first.” He left without hesitation.

… Back at Temperley Hall. Gale had fallen asleep. She was still sleeping at the door of the master

bedroom. From a distance, he could only see her long black hair. Shawn walked over and looked at her

condescendingly. Gale slept soundly. She turned over lazily, and the collar of her pajamas suddenly

opened a little, revealing her snow-white skin. Also, as his eyes gazed down to her chest… His throat

tightened. How could he develop feelings for Gale so easily! If Susan was the one he was looking for,

how could he not feel anything?
