Chapter 289

"Lucas, Gale's no ordinary woman, but the paternity test showed that the child really was Shawn's. It's just a pity... Ah, it's gone now, there's no point talking about it."

Gale finally understood why Paula suddenly calmed down after the test, and no longer caused so much trouble.

Gale had always thought that Summer had stolen the test tube, making it so the test could not be done.

She did not expect that the paternity test was actually done, and Paula completely shut up because the child was Shawn's!

"Enough, go check on Wendy's condition," Lucas said, "I want to talk to Gale."

Paula nodded as she left reluctantly.

It was obvious that Lucas wanted her gone. He wanted to talk about some secrets that Paula was not allowed to know.

Once Paula left, Lucas said, "Gale, I didn't come today to do anything to your mother. Instead, I cam to help you both."

"I don't understand."

"I'll be honest with you," Lucas said, "Shawn is completely obsessed with you right now. He listens to no one and is adamant about being with you. This can't continue, so I want you to leave him."

"I've told you, I'm willing to get a divorce and leave without anything. Shawn's the one who won't let me go."

"I know, so I want to help you, but you need to cooperate."

Gale stared at Lucas, "How?"

"Peter killed my son, he's an enemy of the Wood family. I won't let him off, but both you and your mother were dragged into it in the end," Lucas said, "I'll replace a way for you to bring your mother out of Sea City. Never come back, and never appear in front of Shawn again!"

Lucas needed to do something since it was an important moment.

The fate of the Wood family and the profits of the Wood Group were all in Shawn's hands.

Shawn could not be trapped by his feelings. He could not let a girl be his weakness!

That girl was even the daughter of their enemy!

"Really?" Gale was in disbelief, "You'll really let my mother and I leave?"

"Of course. I came today to check on your mother's condition before I plan things out in detail. You know this too, Shawn's a very careful man. We can't fool him easily!"

Even Lucas was afraid of Shawn and unable to casually make a move. It made Gale wonder how hard it would be for her to escape alone." "Gale, are you willing to cooperate? Or are you unwilling to part with the wealth Shawn gives you?!"

"I'm willing," Gale answered, "But I hope that you won't give my father too much of a hard time in prison."

"That can be done," Lucas agreed before walking to the nursing home with his walking cane.

Gale stood in place, looking at his back.

"That's right, we can't rush this. We need to have a long-term plan," Lucas said, "You should quietly wait for me to notify you. Don't act rashly!"

"I understand."

Gale had thought about escaping as well, but she knew that it would be very difficult. However, with Lucas' help, her chances had greatly increased!

She eagerly awaited the day she could leave Shawn forever.

The two of them were fated to end badly!

At night, in Temperley Hall, Shawn smashed a cup on the ground, "Trash, you can't even replace one person! Where could Gale have run off alone?!"

"Mr. Wood, w-were looking through the whole city."

"Continue looking and monitor every single road!" Shawn shouted, "If you can't replace her, punish yourself!"

"Yes, yes..."

Gale had disappeared.

The news from the company was that she left

right after leaving Summer's office, and did not come back. She did not go back to Temperley Hall either.
