Chapter 342
So, if Aurum would help him, they would have a bigger chance of finding her.
“Okay. I’m doing this to make sure she’s safe and not to help you,” Aurum answered.
Shawn had already gone right into the back of the Rells
Reyce.
Aurum looked over to the assistant next to him. “Use all
our connections to look into where Gale is. Be discreet.
Tell me if you find anything.”
“Yes, Mr. Lefting.”
The Rells Reyce was on the road, and Shawn constantly urged, “Drive faster.”
“Mr. Wood, it’s already very…”
“Faster!”
The journey to the Wood Mansion usually took up half an hour, but it had been cut short to fifteen minutes.
When Lucas saw him, he jumped up in fright. “Shawn, why are you running around? Do you not want your left
arm anymore?”
Shawn went straight to the point and said, “Where is Gale?”
“What are you…”
“Where is she?!” Shawn raised his voice even higher. ‘ Speak!”
At that moment, he was like a lion that had lost its mind.
He was angry, frustrated, worried, and unsettled.
His voice echoed around the living room.
Lucas was surprised, “Y…You’re talking to me like this because of a woman?”
“Grandpa, I’ve told you again and again that Gale is my bottom line! You kept on ignoring what I said, so don’t blame me for ignoring the Wood family!”
Those words had been too harsh.
Shawn would never have talked to his grandfather like
know that I can’t live without her. Why did you have to do that?!”
“Because she is Peter Warm’s daughter. Peter killed your father! Because she had your child but didn’t protect it! Because you were almost killed by Susan because of her!”
Lucas gave reason after reason.
“So, Shawn, how could I be able to tolerate her?! For the sake of the Warm family and the company, Gale has to leave you!”
“When I was training you to be my heir, I told you that if you want to be successful and stand at the peak, you can’t have any weaknesses or likes! Anything can be replaced. You don’t have to be stuck on one person!”
“What have you learned from it? Shawn, do you even remember what I told you?”
Shawn looked at Lucas calmly. “Grandpa, what if I told you I was the one who killed that child?”
Lucas staggered. “What did you say?”
“I was the one who killed our child. The blame was
always on me. It had nothing to do with Gale. She gave up so much to protect that child,” Shawn said.
Lucas could not accept that fact.
He had always thought that it was because Gale had a miscarriage due to her not taking care of the baby well…
