Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 270

She looked everywhere she could, but she found no trace of the earphones.

Where was it?!

Gale did not even spare the bedsheets!

"What are you looking for?" Shawn suddenly said at the door.

She jumped in fright and hurriedly stood up. "Nothing, it's just some personal belongings."

"I had them throw away all your things in the servant's room."

Gale's eyes widened. "Thrown away?!"

"They were just some material objects. I had the housekeeper buy everything anew," Shawn said, "You'll like them."

There was nothing to like!

He threw them away!

No wonder she could not replace the headphones!

Gale could not voice out her difficulties and could only stare at him. "Please, don't throw my things away like that in the future!"

"What's so important? All of those things were just rubbish."

In Shawn's eyes, the things that Gale wore and used were horrible. They were very cheap and of poor quality.

He wanted to give her expensive and good things.

Yet, she did not seem to appreciate it at all!

"Even if they were rubbish, you should have told me before you threw my things away!"

Shawn's expression soured.

He had put in the effort, but she was not happy!

She was the only person who would not appreciate what he did!

"I don't want to talk to you anymore." Gale got angrier as she thought about it. "I'm going to the company.'

She could not stay at Temperley Hall for a moment longer.

She needed to look for Summer and ask her if there was anything she could do!

When Gale arrived at the company, she went straight to Summer's office.

"What should I do, Summer? I noticed that my

headphones were thrown away when I got back from the hospital... Is there any way to salvage this?" Gale asked anxiously.

"Thrown away?"

"Yes! Shawn threw away all my things and bought new ones!"

Just thinking about that made Gale angry.

Summer was speechless.

"Susan went to see my mother with the ring on. I don't know what she said to my mother in the ward, but my mother ended up in intensive care because of it. She's still not completely out of danger yet, so I need to know what was said as soon as possible," Gale said.

"What? Your mother was almost killed by her?!"

Summer stood up abruptly, clenching her teeth. "Hold on, let me ask the tech if there's any way to get a new one.

"Okay."

Summer went to make some calls and was talking on the phone.

After half an hour, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's been done, but the new headphones will need some time to be made. Once it's made, they'll send it right to me."

Gale asked, "Around how long?"

"Three days at the earliest, one week at the latest."

11

"I don't know if my mother..." Gale said that and started to choke up.

"She'll be fine. You don't have to worry. Once she wakes up, bring me to see her. I guarantee you that I'll make her happy," Summer consoled her.

Gale sighed. "That's all we can do right now."

"Gale, chin up. The child is gone, and I'm sad for you as well, but life has to move on. You still have your parents, and you still have me. Don't be too sad." Gale looked at her. "Summer, as long as I stay by Shawn's side, I'll never get better."

His overbearing, powerful, and controlling nature suffocated her.

"Yet, I'm forced to stay. I have to look into how his father died. My parents are still in his hands. I'll only be able to truly leave him once I do all of that," Gale mumbled. Summer pulled at her hand. "I know this sounds very cruel, but I still have to say it. Gale, even when you figure out the truth, will Shawn let you go?"
