    Chapter 8


    “Yeah, Pa, we should do it together. Don’t just stand aside and watch,” Jenny said. “Jenny, I’m


    already old…” Gale immediately interrupted, “Look, Pa doesn’t want to do anything!” As she


    spoke, she secretly tried to break free of the rope. Jenny also felt that Gale had a point. She handed


    the knife to Pa and said, “So…you cut the left side, I’ll cut the right side.” Pa agreed, “Okay.


    You make the first cat, and I will hold her down!” “Alright.” The two hit it off. Gale’s wrists were all red


    with no luck from breaking loose. Pa came over and grabbed her head. “Stay still and it will hurt


    less. Jenny,e on!” “This face is really fair and tender. No wonder you can seduce Shawn… I


    have to make a mess of it today!” Jenny approached with a grin. The knife got closer and closer and


    finally stuck to Gale’s cheek. “As long as I exert force, your beauty will be gone…” Gale swallowed


    nervously, “You are really not afraid of Shawn!” “He won’t touch me with the Timothy family here.”


    With that said, Jenny was about to make her first cut. At this critical moment, a deep and dignified


    familiar male voice came from afar. “Stop!” That voice… Gale was overjoyed and shouted with all


    her strength, “Shawn, save me!” The sound of rubber burning around the ground rang out. Before


    the car stopped, Shawn had already jumped off. He walked fast, the hem of his suit was raised high,


    and his eyes were full of anger. “Timothy family? What do you think they are?” Shawn raised his thin


    lips and threatened, “Tomorrow, I can make the entire Timothy family disappear from Sea City!”


    “Shawn… ah!” Shawn kicked Jenny away without even looking at her. He went straight to Gale and


    picked her up. “Are you hurt?” She shook her head. “No, almost, but I was not.” Shawn asked,


    “What are you running around for? You can’t find a spot to sit in the entire Wood Group?” “I…” She


    kept quiet, not wanting to tell him she was looking for a job and bumped into Pa and Jenny.


    “Shawn, why are you here?” Pa smiled and said, “I’m ying with my daughter-inw.” Shawn


    raised his brows and replied, “y?” “Yeah.” He picked up the knife from the ground and threw it at


    Pa’s feet. “Let’s y with your face next.” “What…” “Cut it!” “Shawn!” Jenny stomped her feet


    and said, “Why are you defending this woman!” “Because she’s my wife!” Shawn’s eyes were colder


    than a knife’s. “If I don’t protect her, who do you expect me to protect? Do you expect me to protect


    you instead?” Jenny looked at Gale with jealousy. Gale could not express how she really felt on the


    inside. The reason why Shawn was so angry was that… the only person who could bully and


    humiliate her was him. No matter how much he hated her and wanted to torture her, he won’t let


    others do it. He had to do it himself. Shawn sounded like he really cared about her, but she knew it


    was not true. Just as she was deep in thought, Shawn picked her up in his arms. Gale eximed


    and hooked her arms around his neck subconsciously. Realizing that this gesture was too intimate,


    she quickly let go. Shawn said coldly with an indifferent expression, “You should be d she wasn’t


    injured. Jenny, I’ll punish you on behalf of your family! Go back home and think about what you


    have done for a month! You are grounded!” “Pa!” He said to Pa, “Don’t even think about


    getting a cent of your living expenses this year!” For Pa, this was the most painful punishment.


    After she married Shawn’s father, she lived a luxurious life. Even if Shawn’s father died, she could


    receive an exorbitant living expense from the family fund every month. Shawn cut off her one year’s


    funding all of a sudden. She was so used to spending money. How can she survive? “No, that’s the


    money your dad gave me.” “Two years!” “Shawn, y…you…” “Three years!” Shawn always kept to


    his word. Pa and Jenny’s life was in ruins. After returning to Temperley Hall, the housekeeper


    saw Gale’s disheveled appearance and asked, “Ms. Gale, you are…” “It’s nothing. It looks bad, but


    I’m not hurt.” Shawn sat on the sofa and tugged his tie. “You’re not hurt? What’s about the palm of


    your hand?” Gale was taken aback. It turned out that he had discovered it long ago. “Apart from


    causing me trouble, what else can you do?” Shawn looked at her with deep eyes. “I punish Pa


    and Jenny for you. Are you proud?” She quickly waved her hand. “N…No.” He sneered and said,


    “Gale, no one can touch your face. If it is to be scratched… it will only be done by me in person!”


    Shawn looked at the fruit knife on the coffee table. Gale shivered a littlete. “What are you waiting


    for? You can’t read the room?” She had to hand him the fruit knife with both hands and defended in


    a low voice, “I… did nothing wrong today.” “It’s your fault for running around.” Gale bit her lower lip


    and lowered her gaze. Shawn is her god, and she can only obey his orders. He traced the cold


    de on Gale’s cheek. “Gale, look, once you leave me, there are so many people who mess with


    you.” Shawn gently patted her face with the tip of a knife. “I’m the only one who can torture you.”


    She closed her eyes tightly, not knowing when Shawn… would raise the knife in his hand. Probably


    because she had been oppressed for too long, Gale actually refuted him, “Anyone who bullies me, I


    can resist, I can fight back. However, I can’t resist you!” “Because this is what you owe me!” ‘No, I


    never owed you, nor did my family owe you!’ Gale cried silently in her heart. The knife pressed


    down little by little, and with a little more force, it could cut through the skin. Ring! Thendline next


    to her suddenly rang rapidly. Shawn picked up the receiver and answered, “Hello, Grandpa.”


    Grandfather Wood shouted loudly, “Come over immediately! Now!” “What’s up?” “Also, bring your


    newlywed wife!” The old man hung up the phone. Shawn looked at Gale. It was amusing that she


    was clearly panicked yet was trying her best to remain calm. “You’re lucky.” Shawn raised her chin


    with the tip of the knife. “I’ll leave this face untouched for now, lest you scare my grandfather with


    blood.” Grandfather? “Pack up and follow me.” Shawn crossed his legs. “I will give you five


    minutes.” Gale staggered up the stairs, changed her clothes and tied her hair as fast as she could.


    The old house of the Wood family. Compared with the luxurious castle style of Temperley Hall, the


    old house had a calm and atmospheric courtyard with a view of mountains and rivers. As soon as


    she entered the living room, Pa pointed at Gale and screamed, “Yes, Grandfather Wood, she is


    here! She is Dr. Peter’s daughter! Shawn actually married her!”Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.
